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,  it  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.

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  a  higher  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  328  in  Section  2  and  “Off−road  driving  pre-
cautions”  on page  359  in Section 3.
