Spark ignition system of your

Toyota

The spark ignition system in your Toyota meets all re-

quirements of the Canadian Interference- Causing Equip-

ment Standard.

Installation of a mobile

two- way radio system

As the installation of a mobile two- way radio system in

system, SRS airbag system and seat belt pretensioner

system, be sure to check with your Toyota dealer for

precautionary measures or special instructions regarding

installation.

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 pretensioner removed and disposed of by a qualified

service shop or by your Toyota dealer before you dis-

pose of your vehicle.

iv 2000 4Runner (OM35762U)

On- pavement and off- road

driving tips

This vehicle belongs to the utility vehicle class. Utility

vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than

other types of vehicles. This vehicle will handle and

maneuver differently from an ordinary passenger car be-

cause 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 feature causes this type of vehicle to be

more likely to rollover. 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 precautions” in Section 2 and

“Off- road driving precautions” in Section 3.
