2020 Toyota Highlander Owners Manual - Using the storage features

• Do not leave glasses, lighters or spray cans in the storage spaces, as this may cause the following when cabin temperature becomes high:

•  Glasses may be deformed by heat or cracked if they come into contact with other stored items.
•  Lighters or spray cans may explode. If they come into contact with other stored items, the lighter may catch fire or the spray can may release gas, causing a fire hazard.

• When driving or when the storage compartments are not in use, keep the lids closed.

In the event of sudden braking or sudden swerving, an accident may occur due to an occupant being struck by an open lid or the items stored inside.

Do not place anything other than a bottle in the bottle holders.

Other items may be thrown out of the holders in the event of an accident or sudden braking and cause injury.

Do not place anything other than cups or aluminum cans in the cup holders.

Other items may be thrown out of the holders in the event of an accident or sudden braking, causing injury. If possible, cover hot drinks to prevent burns.

Items unsuitable for storing (overhead)

Do not store items heavier than 0.4 Lb. (0.2 Kg).

Doing so may cause the auxiliary box to open and the items inside may fall out, resulting in an accident.

Items unsuitable for the open tray

Observe the following precautions when putting items in the open tray. Failure to do so may cause items to be thrown out of the tray in the event of sudden braking or steering. In these cases, the items may interfere with pedal operation or cause driver distraction, resulting in an accident.

• Do not store items in the tray that can easily shift or roll out.
• Do not stack items in the tray higher than the tray's edge.
• Do not put items in the tray that may protrude over the tray's edge.

Do not hang any object heavier than 6.6 Lb. (3 Kg) on the grocery bag hooks.

Do not drive with any of the deck boards opened. Items may fall out and cause injury.
