Important information about your Toyota

Occupant restraint systems

Toyota encourages you and your family to take the time to

read Section 1−3 of this Owner ’s Manual carefully. In

terms of helping you understand how you can receive the

maximum benefit of the occupant restraint systems this

vehicle provides, Section 1−3 of this Owner ’s Manual is

the most important Section for you and your family to

read.

Section 1−3 describes the function and operation concern-

ing seats, seat belts, S RS airbags and child restraint sys-

tems of this vehicle and some potential hazards you

should be aware of. These systems work together along

with the overall structure of this vehicle i n order to provide

occupant restraint in the event of a crash. The effect of

each system is enhanced when it is used properly and

together with other systems. No single occupant restraint

system can, by itself, provide you or your family with the

equal level of restraint which these systems can provide

when used together. That is why it is important for you and

your family to understand the purpose and proper use of

each of these systems and how they relate to each other.

The purpose of all occupant restraint systems is to help

reduce the possibility of death or serious injury in the

event of a collision. None of these systems, either individ-

ually or together, can ensure that there is no injury in the

event of collision. However, the more you know about

these systems and how to use them properly, the greater

your chances become of surviving an accident without

death or serious injury.

Seat belts provide the primary restraint to all occupants of

the vehicle, and every occupant of the vehicle should wear

seat belts properly at all times. C hildren should always be

secured in child restraint systems that are appropriate for

their age and size. SRS (Supplemental Restraint System)

airbags are, as their names imply, designed to work with,

and be supplemental to, seat belts and are not substitutes

for them. SRS airbags can be very effective in reducing

the risk of head and chest injuries by preventing contact of

the head and chest with interior portions of the vehicle.

L/C120 AE (OM60D50E) 08/01/22

iv

In order to be effective, the SRS airbags must deploy with

tremendous speed. The rapid deployment of the SRS air-

bags makes the SRS airbags themselves potential sources

of death or serious injury if an occupant is too close to an

airbag, or if an object or some part of his or her body has

been placed between the occupant and the airbag at the

time of deployment. This is just one example of how the

instructions in Section 1−3 of this Owner ’s Manual will help

ensure proper use of the occupant restraint systems, and

increase the safety they can provide to you and your fami-

ly in the event of an accident.

Toyota recommends you to read the provisions in Section

1−3 carefully and refer to them as needed during your time

of ownership of this vehicle.

Accessories, spare parts and

modification of your Toyota

A wide variety of non−genuine spare parts and accessories

for Toyota vehicles are currently available i n the market.

Using these spare parts and accessories which are not

genuine Toyota products may adversely affect the safety of

your vehicle, even though these parts may be approved by

certain authorities in your c ountry. Toyota therefore cannot

accept any liability or guarantee spare parts and accesso-

ries which are not genuine Toyota products, nor for re-

placement or installation involving such parts.

This vehicle should not be modified with non−genuine

Toyota products. Modification with non−genuine Toyota

products could affect its performance, safety or durability,

and may even violate governmental regulations. In addi-

tion, damage or performance problems resulting from the

modification may not be covered under warranty.

v

Installation of a mobile

two−way radio system

As the i nstallation of a mobile two−way radio system in

your vehicle could affect electronic systems such as multi-

port fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection

system, electronically controlled fuel pump, electronic

throttle control system, cruise control system, anti−lock

brake system, active traction control system, vehicle sta-

bility control system, rear height control air suspension,

Toyota electronic modulated suspension, SRS airbag sys-

tem and seat belt pretensioner system, be sure to check

with your Toyota dealer for precautionary measures or spe-

cial instructions regarding installation.

Maintenance schedule

Please refer to the separate “Warranty and Service Book-

let”.

Scrapping of your Toyota

The SRS airbag and front seat belt pretensioner devices in

your Toyota contain explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is

scrapped with the airbags and 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 preten-

sioner removed and disposed of by a qualified service

shop or by your Toyota dealer before you dispose of your

vehicle.

On−pavement and off−road

driving tips

This vehicle belongs to the utility vehicle class. Utility ve-

hicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other

types of vehicles. This vehicle will handle and maneuver

differently from an ordinary passenger car because i t is

designed for off−road use also. In addition, this vehicle

has a higher ground clearance and center of gravity than

that of an ordinary passenger car. This vehicle design fea-

ture causes this type of vehicle to be more likely to rol-

lover. Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in

loss of control, accidents or vehicle rollover causing death

or serious injury. Be sure to read “Off−road vehicle precau-

tions” on page 230 in Section 2 and “Off−road driving pre-

cautions” on page 254 in Section 3.
