your vehicle checked and the warning light re-
set by your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

iii
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 Manu-
al is the most important section for you and your family
to read.
Section
1-3 describes the function and operation con-
cerning seats,
seat belts, SRS airbags and child re-
straint systems of this vehicle and some potential haz-
ards you should be aware of. These
systems work to-
gether along with the overall structure of this vehicle in
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 acollision. None of these systems, either indi-
vidually 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. Children 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.
iv
In order to be effective, the SRS airbags must deploy
with tremendous speed. The rapid deployment of the
SRS airbags
makes the SRS airbags themselves poten-
tial
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 family in the event of an
accident.
Toyota recommends you
to read the provisions in Sec-
tion
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
Awide variety of non-genuine spare parts and accessories
for Toyota
vehicles are currently available in 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 country. 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 durabili-
ty, and may even violate governmental regulations. In
addition, damage or performance problems resulting from
the modification may not be covered under warranty.
v
Installation of amobile
two-way radio system
As the installation of amobile two-way radio system in
your vehicle could affect
electronic systems such as
multiport fuel injection
system/sequential multiport fuel
injection system,
electronic throttle control system, elec-
tronically controlled fuel pump, electronic engine control
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 precaution-
ary measures or special
instructions regarding installa-
tion.

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 scrap
your vehicle.

On-pavement and off-road
driving tips
(on
four-wheel drive models)
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" on page 164 and "Off-
road driving precautions" on page 185.
