•The driver and front passenger airbag Supplemental RestraintSystem (SRS) is designed only as a supplement to the primaryprotection of the seat belt systems of the driver and frontpassenger. The front seat occupants are particularly susceptibleto injury if they do not wear their seat belts; when suddenbraking or a collision occurs, they may be thrown forward. Toobtain maximum protection in an accident, the driver and allpassengers in the vehicle should always wear their seat beltswhen driving because serious injuries or death can result tounrestrained occupants. For instructions and precautionsconcerning the seat belt system, see “Seat belts” in theOwner’s Manual.

•Toyota strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint systemon the rear seat that conforms to the size of the child.According to accident statistics, a child is safer when properlyrestrained in the rear seat than on 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 cancause severe injury or death to a child.

•Unless it is unavoidable, do not install a forward-facing childrestraint system on the front seat.If you must install a forward-facing child restraint system onthe front seat, move the seat as far back as possible.

•Make sure you have complied with all installation instructionsprovided by the child restraint manufacturer and the system isproperly secured.

•The SRS side and side curtain airbags (optional) are designed todeploy in certain types of severe side impact collisions. In allother collisions, the side impact and side curtain airbags willnot deploy. For instructions and precautions, see your Owner’sManual.

•Do not lean against the side doors when the vehicle is in use.The side and side curtain airbags inflate with considerablespeed 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 airbagsfrom activating correctly, resulting in death or serious injury.

Airbag-Supplemental Restraint SystemThe Airbag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)front, side* and side curtain* airbags are designed tohelp provide further protection for the driver andoutboard passenger in addition to the primary safetyprotection provided by the seat belts.

Please read the following caution, and refer to theOwner’s Manual for more details.

1 Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) is an electronic system designedto 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 steeringinput can all affect whether VSC will be effective in preventingloss of control.

2 Brake-Assist is designed to help the driver take full advantage ofthe benefits of ABS (Anti-lock Brake System). It is not asubstitute for safe driving practices. Braking effectiveness alsodepends on proper brake-system maintenance and tire and roadconditions.

ATRAC (Active Traction Control)*Helps control spinning of the wheels, which mayoccur when accelerating on slippery roads.

VSC1 (Vehicle Stability Control)*Helps provide comprehensive control of the Anti-lock Brakes, Brake-Assist2, Traction Control, enginecontrol and other systems. This system helpsmaintain control of the vehicle under adverseconditions.

This vehicle will handle and maneuver differently from anordinary passenger car because it is also designed for off-roaduse. It has a higher ground clearance and higher center ofgravity than an ordinary passenger car. This vehicle designfeature causes this type of vehicle to be more likely to rollover. Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover ratethan other types of vehicles.

An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better viewof the road allowing you to anticipate problems. However, itis not designed for cornering at the same speeds as ordinarypassenger cars any more than low-slung sports cars aredesigned for off-road use. Therefore, sharp turns at excessivespeeds may cause rollover.

Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss ofcontrol, accidents or vehicle rollover causing death or serious injury. Be sure to read your Owner’s Manual for moreinformation on safe driving both on and off-road.

Always observe the following precautions to minimize the risk of serious personal injury or damage to your vehicle:Always observe the following precautions to minimizethe risk of serious personal injury or damage to yourvehicle:•In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly

more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt.Therefore, the driver and all passengers should fastentheir seat belts whenever the vehicle is moving.

•Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers, if at allpossible. Failure to operate this vehicle correctly mayresult in loss of control or vehicle rollover causingdeath or serious injury.

•Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will make thecenter of the vehicle gravity higher. Avoid high speeds,sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden braking or abruptmaneuvers; otherwise, it may result in a loss of abilityto operate this vehicle correctly.

•Always slow down in gusty crosswinds. Because of itsprofile and higher center of gravity, your vehicle ismore sensitive to side winds than an ordinarypassenger car. Slowing down will allow you to havebetter control.

•When driving off-road or in rugged terrain, do not driveat excessive speeds, jump, make sharp turns, strikeobjects, etc. This may cause loss of control or vehiclerollover causing death or serious injury. You are alsorisking expensive damage to your vehicle’s suspensionand chassis.

•Do not drive horizontally across steep slopes. Drivingstraight up or straight down is preferred. Your vehicle(or any similar off-road vehicle) can tip over sidewaysmuch more easily than forward or backward.

Avoid Abrupt Maneuversand Excessive Speed.

Always Buckle Up.
