Accessories, spare parts and
modification of your Toyota
A wide 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 durability,
and
may even violate governmental regulations. In addi-
tion,
damage or performance problems resulting from the
modification may not be covered under warranty.
iii

throttle control system, cruise control system, anti-lock
brake system, active traction control system, vehicle sta-
bility control system, rear

,
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.
iv
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 it is
designed for
off-road use also. In addition, this vehicle
has ahigher 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 222 in Section 2and "Off-road driving pre-
cautions" on page 245
in Section 3.

EY12048
Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds
of keys.
1. Master keys-
These keys work in every lock. Your
Toyota
dealer will need one of them to
make anew key with a built-in trans-
ponder chip.
Since the side doors and back door
can be locked
without akey, you
should
always carry a spare master
key in
case you accidentally lock your
keys
inside the vehicle.
With wireless remote control system-
These keys are fitted with the wireless
remote control transmitter. For informa-
tion on
use of the wireless remote con-
trol transmitter, see
"-Wireless remote
control" on page 15 in
this Section.
2. Sub key-
This key will not work in the glove box.
To protect items locked in the glove
box when using
valet parking, leave
the sub key with the attendant.
A
transponder chip for engine immobilizer
system has been placed in the head of
the
master and sub keys. These chips are
needed to enable the system to function
correctly, so be careful not to lose these
keys. If you make your own duplicate key,
you will not be able
to cancel the system
or start the engine.

NOTICE
When using a key containing a trans-
ponder chip, observe the following
precautions:
• When starting the engine, do not
use the key with a key ring resting
on the key grip and do not press
the key ring against the key grip.
Otherwise the engine may not start,
or may stop soon after it starts.
EY12003
• When starting the engine, do not
use the key with other transponder
keys around (including keys of oth-
er vehicles) and do not press other
key plates against the key grip .
Otherwise the engine may not start,
or may stop soon after it starts. If
this happens, remove the key once
and then insert it again after remov-
ing other transponder keys (includ.
ing keys of other vehicles) from the
ring or while gripping or covering
them with your hand to start the
engine.
EY12004
I. Do not bend the key grip.
