SAFETY AND EMERGENCY FEATURES
TRAC (Traction Control)*
Airbag-Supplemental Restraint System
Two-wheel drive models
Helps control spinning of the front wheels which
may occur when accelerating on slippery roads.
The Airbag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
front, side* and side curtain* airbags are designed to
provide further protection for the driver and
outboard passenger in addition to the primary safety
protection provided by the seat belts.
Four-wheel drive models
Helps control the spinning of all wheels which may
occur when accelerating on slippery roads.
Please read the caution boxes below, and refer to
the Owner’s Manual for more details.

control and other systems. This system helps
maintain control of the vehicle under adverse
conditions.
•The driver and front passenger airbag Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) is designed only as a supplement to
the primary protection of the seat belt systems of the
driver and front passenger. The front seat occupants are
particularly susceptible to injury if they do not wear their
seat belts; when sudden braking or a collision occurs, they
may be thrown forward. To obtain maximum protection in
an accident, the driver and all passengers in the vehicle
should always wear their seat belts when driving because
serious injuries or death can result to unrestrained
occupants. For instructions and precautions concerning the
seat belt system, see “Seat belts” in the Owner’s Manual.
•Toyota strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint
system on the rear seat that conforms to the size of the
child. According to accident statistics, a child is safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
•Never use a rear-facing child restraint system in the front
seat. The force of the rapid inflation of the passenger
airbag can cause severe injury or death to a child.
•Unless it is unavoidable, do not install a forward-facing
child restraint system on the front seat. If you must install
a forward-facing child restraint system on the front seat,
move the seat as far back as possible.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
Tire Pressure Warning System*
Indicator light
Designed to provide warning when tire pressure of
any one of the tires is critically reduced while the
vehicle is moving. It must be re-initialized by pushing
and holding the “ ” button if indicator light blinks
once every 3 seconds, and/or after replacing or
rotating tires or wheels.
•Make sure you have complied with all installation
instructions provided by the child restraint manufacturer
and the system is properly secured.
•The SRS side airbags and side curtain airbags (optional) are
designed to deploy in certain types of severe side impact
collisions. In all other collisions, the side impact and side
curtain airbags will not deploy. For instructions and
precautions, see your Owner’s Manual.
•Do not lean against the side doors when the vehicle is in
use. The side airbags and side curtain airbags inflate with
considerable speed and force. Death or serious injury
could result.
•Do not modify, cover or replace the surface of the front
seats. Such changes could disable the system or prevent
the airbags from activating correctly, resulting in death or
serious injury.
*Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.

Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) is an electronic system designed
to help the driver maintain vehicle control under adverse
conditions. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices.
Factors including speed, road conditions and driver steering
input can all affect whether VSC will be effective in preventing
loss of control.
2
Brake-Assist is designed to help the driver take full advantage of
the benefits of ABS (Anti-lock Brake System). It is not a
substitute for safe driving practices. Braking effectiveness also
depends on proper brake-system maintenance and tire and road
conditions.
