WARNING
■ General precautions while driv-
ing
Driving under the influence: Never
drive your vehicle when under the
influence of alcohol or drugs that have
impaired your ability to operate your
vehicle. Alcohol and certain drugs
delay reaction time, impair judgment
and reduce coordination, which could
lead to an accident that could result in
death or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive
defensively. Anticipate mistakes that
other drivers or pedestrians might
make and be ready to avoid acci-
dents.
Driver distraction: Always give your
full attention to driving. Anything that
distracts the driver, such as adjusting
controls, talking on a cellular phone or
reading can result in a collision with
resulting death or serious injury to
you, your occupants or others.
■ General precaution regarding
children’s safety
Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle, and never allow children
to have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehi-
cle or shift the vehicle into neutral.
There is also a danger that children
may injure themselves by playing with
the windows, or other features of the
vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or
extremely cold temperatures inside
the vehicle can be fatal to children.

WARNING
■ Cautions during setting up the
display
If the hybrid system is operating while
changing certain settings on the set-

is parked in a place with adequate
ventilation. In a closed area such as a
garage, exhaust gases including
harmful carbon monoxide (CO) may
collect and enter the vehicle. This
may lead to death or a serious health
hazard.

pacemakers, cardiac
resynchronization therapy-pace-
makers or implantable cardioverter
defibrillators should maintain a rea-
sonable distance between them-
selves and the smart entry & start
system antennas. (P.101)
The radio waves may affect the
operation of such devices. If neces-
sary, the entry function can be disa-
bled. Ask your Toyota dealer for
details, such as the frequency of
radio waves and timing of the emit-
ted radio waves. Then, consult your
doctor to see if you should disable
the entry function.
● Users of any electrical medical
device other than implantable car-
diac pacemakers, cardiac
resynchronization therapy-pace-
makers or implantable cardioverter
defibrillators should consult the
manufacturer of the device for infor-
mation about its operation under
the influence of radio waves.
Radio waves could have unex-
pected effects on the operation of
such medical devices.
