For your information

Please note that this manual applies to all models and all equipment, includ-

ing options. Therefore, you may find some explanations for equipment not

installed on your vehicle.

All specifications provided in this manual are current at the time of printing.

However, because of the Toyota policy of continual product improvement, we

reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.

Depending on specifications, the vehicle shown in the illustrations may differ

from your vehicle in terms of equipment.

for Toyota vehicles are currently available on the market. Should it be deter-

The installation of an RF-transmitter system in your vehicle could affect elec-

tronic systems such as:

 Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system

 Cruise control system

 Anti-lock brake system

 SRS airbag system

 Seat belt pretensioner system

Be sure to check with any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another

duly qualified and equipped professional for precautionary measures or spe-

cial instructions regarding installation of an RF-transmitter system.

Further information regarding frequency bands, power levels, antenna posi-

tions and installation provisions for the installation of RF-transmitters, is avail-

able on request at any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly

qualified and equipped professional.

Installation of an RF-transmitter system

RAV4_OM_OM42873E_(EE)

The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Toyota contain

explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seat belt

pretensioners left as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be

sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner

removed and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by any authorized

Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional,

before you scrap your vehicle.

Scrapping of your Toyota

Your vehicle contains batteries and/or accumulators. Do not discard them

into the environment but cooperate with separate collection

(Directive 2006/66/EC).

CAUTION

 General precautions while driving

Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ-

ence of alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehi-

cle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment and

reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in

death or serious injury.

Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other

drivers or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.

Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that

distracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or

reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you,

your occupants or others.

 General precaution regarding children’s safety

Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to

have or use the key.

Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral.

There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with

the windows, the moon roof, or other features of the vehicle. In addition,

heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal

to children.
