Spark ignition system of your
Toyota
The spark ignition system in your Toyota meets all re-
quirements of the Canadian Interference–Causing Equip-
ment Standard.
Installation of a mobile
two–way radio system
As the installation of a mobile two–way radio system in

injection system, cruise control system, anti–lock brake
system, SRS airbag system and seat belt pretensioner
system, be sure to check with your Toyota dealer for
precautionary measures or special instructions regarding
installation.
Scrapping of your Toyota
The SRS airbag and 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 pretensioner removed and disposed of by a qualified
service shop or by your Toyota dealer before you dis-
pose of your vehicle.

On–pavement and off–road
driving tips
This vehicle will handle and maneuver differently from
an ordinary passenger car because it is designed for
off–road use also. It has a significantly higher rollover
rate than other types of vehicles. In addition, this ve-
hicle has a higher ground clearance and center of gravi-
ty than that of an ordinary passenger car. This vehicle
design feature causes this type of vehicle to be more
likely to rollover. Failure to operate this vehicle correctly
may result in loss of control, accidents or vehicle rol-
lover causing death or serious injury. Be sure to read
“Off–road vehicle precautions” in Section 2 and “Off–
road driving precautions” in Section 3.

This key works in every lock.
Since the doors can be locked without a
key, you should always carry a spare key
in case you accidentally lock your key
inside the vehicle.
KEY NUMBER PLATE
Your key number is shown on the plate.
Keep the plate in a safe place such as
your wallet, not in the vehicle.
If you should lose your keys or if you
need additional keys, duplicates can be
made by a Toyota dealer using the key
number.
We recommend you to write down the key
number and keep it in safe place.
LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WITH KEY
Insert the key into the keyhole and turn
it.
To lock: Turn the key forward.
To unlock: Turn the key backward.
Vehicles with power door lock system—
Both doors lock and unlock simultaneously
with either door. In the driver’s door lock,
turning the key once will unlock the driv-
er’s door and twice in succession will un-
lock the driver’s door and passenger’s
door simultaneously.

seat belts, locking the doors helps
prevent the driver and passengers
from being thrown out from the ve-
hicle during an accident. It also helps
prevent the doors from being opened
unintentionally.
