Smart entry and start system
Users of any electrical medical devices such as im-
planted pacemakers should consult the manufacturer of
the device for information about its operation under the
influence of radio waves. Radio waves could have unex-
pected effects on the operation of such medical devices.
For details, see “Keys” on page 20 and “Smart entry
and start system” on page 24 in Section 2- 1.
Tires and loading on your Toyota
Underinflated or overinflated tire inflation pressure
and the excess load may result in the deterioration
of steering ability and braking ability, leading to an
accident. Check the tire inflation pressure periodi-
cally and be sure to keep the load limits given in
this Owner ’s Manual. For details about tire inflation
pressure and load limits, see page 405 and pages
342.
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 preten-
sioner removed and disposed of by the qualified service
shop or by your Toyota dealer before you dispose of your
vehicle.
CAUTION
When your vehicle or battery needs to be dis-
posed of, be sure to consult your Toyota dealer.
Hybrid batteries must be collected through
Toyota dealers. If your vehicle is disposed of
without dismantling, someone could receive an
electric shock by touching the high voltage
parts of the hybrid battery. If the battery is not
disposed of properly, its contents can cause
death or serious injury.
