When installing a child restraint system using a seat belt

You need a locking clip to install the child restraint system using a seat belt.

Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the system. If your

child restraint system does not provide a locking clip, you can purchase the

following item from any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly

qualified and equipped professional:

1-7. Safety information

CAUTION

When installing a child restraint system

Follow the directions given in the child restraint system installation manual

and fix the child restraint system securely in place.

1

If the child restraint system is not correctly fixed in place, the child or other

passengers may be seriously injured or even killed in the event of sudden

braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

 If the driver's seat interferes with the

child restraint system and prevents it

from being attached correctly, attach

the child restraint system to the right-

hand rear seat (left-hand drive vehicles)

or the left-hand rear seat

(right-hand

drive vehicles).

 Adjust the front passenger seat so that

it does not interfere with the child

restraint system.

 When installing a forward-facing child

restraint system on the front passenger

seat, move the seat as far back as pos-

sible.

Failure to do so may result in death or

serious injury if the airbags deploy

(inflate).

153

1-7. Safety information

CAUTION

When installing a child restraint system

 Never use a rear-facing child restraint

system on the front passenger seat

when the airbag manual on-off switch is

on. (P. 133)

The force of the rapid inflation of the

front passenger airbag can cause death

or serious injury to children in the event

of an accident.

There is a label(s) on the passenger

side sun visor, indicating it is forbidden

to attach a rear-facing child restraint

system to the front passenger seat.

Details of the label(s) are shown in the

illustration below.

1-7. Safety information

CAUTION

When installing a child restraint system

 If child restraint system regulations exist in the country where you reside,

please contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly

1

qualified and equipped professional for the child restraint system installa-

tion.

 When installing a child restraint system on the rear center seat, adjust both

seatbacks at the same angle. The seatbacks must be adjusted to the

same angle. Otherwise, the child restraint system cannot be securely

restrained and this may cause death or serious injuries in the event of sud-

den braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

 When a junior seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is

positioned across the center of the child's shoulder. The belt should be

kept away from the child's neck, but not so that it could fall off the child's

shoulder. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury in the event

of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

 Ensure that the belt and plate are securely locked and the seat belt is not

twisted.

 Push and pull the child restraint system from side to side and forward to be

sure it is secure.

 After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.

 Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system

manufacturer.

 When using the right side seat for the

child restraint system, do not sit in the

center seat. Seat belt function may be

impaired, such as being positioned

overly high or loose-fitting, which may

result in death or serious injury in the

event of sudden braking or an accident.

155

1-7. Safety information

CAUTION

 To correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchors

When using the lower anchors, be sure that there are no foreign objects

around the anchors and that the seat belt is not caught behind the child

restraint system. Make sure the child restraint system is securely attached,

or it may cause death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in the

event of sudden braking, sudden swerve or an accident.

Driving in the rain

 Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the

windows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.

 Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be

especially slippery.

 Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the rain,

because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road

surface, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.

161

2-1. Driving procedures

 Engine speed while driving (vehicles with a Multidrive)

In the following conditions, the engine speed may become high while driving.

This is due to automatic up-shifting control or down-shifting implementation

to meet driving conditions. It does not indicate sudden acceleration.

 The vehicle is judged to be driving uphill or downhill

 When the accelerator pedal is released

 When the brake pedal is depressed while the SPORT mode is selected

 Breaking in your new Toyota

To extend the life of the vehicle, observing the following precautions is rec-

ommended:

 For the first 300 km (186 miles):

Avoid sudden stops.

 For the first 800 km (500 miles):

Do not tow a trailer.

 For the first 1000 km (621 miles):

• Do not drive at extremely high speeds.

• Avoid sudden acceleration.

• Do not drive continuously in low gears.

• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.

 Idling time before stopping the engine (diesel engine)

To prevent damage to the turbocharger, allow the engine to idle immediately

after high-speed driving or driving up a hill.

2-1. Driving procedures

Eco-friendly driving (vehicles with a Multidrive)

During Eco-friendly acceleration opera-

tion (Eco driving), Eco Driving Indicator

Light

will turn on. When the accelerator

pedal is depressed excessively, and

when the vehicle is stopped, the light

turns off.

Eco Driving Indicator Light will not oper-

ate in the following conditions:

2

 The shift lever is anything other than D.

 The paddle shift switch is used.

 The vehicle speed is approximately 130

km/h (81 mph) or higher.

 The driving mode is set to SPORT

mode.

vated or deactivated. (P. 201)

Operating your vehicle in a foreign country

Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability

of the correct fuel. (P. 526)

CAUTION

 When starting the vehicle (vehicles with a Multidrive)

Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the engine run-

ning. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.

163

2-1. Driving procedures

CAUTION

 When driving the vehicle

 Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and accel-

erator pedals to avoid depressing the wrong pedal.

• Accidentally depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the brake

pedal will result in sudden acceleration that may lead to an accident

that could result in death or serious injury.

• When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to a diffi-

culty in operating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals properly.

• Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when moving the

vehicle only slightly. This allows you to depress the brake and acceler-

ator pedals properly.

• Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the brake

pedal using your left foot may delay response in an emergency, result-

ing in an accident.

 Do not drive the vehicle over or stop the vehicle near flammable materials.

The exhaust system and exhaust gases can be extremely hot. These hot

parts may cause a fire if there is any flammable material nearby.

 Vehicles with a Multidrive: Do not let the vehicle roll backward while the

shift lever is in a driving position, or roll forward while the shift lever is in R.

Doing so may cause the engine to stall or lead to poor brake and steering

performance, resulting in an accident or damage to the vehicle.

 If the smell of exhaust is noticed inside the vehicle, open the windows and

check that the back door is closed. Large amounts of exhaust in the vehi-

cle can cause driver drowsiness and an accident, resulting in death or a

serious health hazard. Have the vehicle inspected immediately by any

authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and

equipped professional immediately.

 Vehicles with a Multidrive: Do not shift the shift lever to P while the vehicle

is moving.

Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle

control.

 Do not shift the shift lever to R while the vehicle is moving forward.

Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle

control.
