TOYOTA Matrix 2006 - Manual (Page 6)

SAFETY: Besides the emblem on the hood, the style, the versatility and the devotion to detail,
there is one other element that makes the Matrix a true Toyota: the respect for your safety.
That’s why every Matrix has dual-stage airbags, anchor points for child restraint seats, child protector
rear door locks and an engine immobilizer.
Below is a more extensive list of some of the Matrix’s safety-related features.
PERFORMANCE: A lift of the hood unveils yet another Matrix revelation:
the 1.8 Litre, 4-cylinder, 126 hp (FWD) and 118 hp (4WD) engine that accounts
for Matrix’s noteworthy responsiveness. XRS owners can look forward to an imposing
164 hp Matrix adventure.
TRD SPECIAL EDITION. Functionality has never looked better with TRD Special Edition features which
include unique 17-inch alloy wheels, chrome door sill plates, spoiler, fog lamps, bumper protector,
TRD exhaust tip and TRD decal. And once inside, enjoy the Panasonic 200-watt audio system with
AM/FM/CD/MP3 player with 4-speakers.
Truly surprising is the number of standard
features on all Matrix models, such as
metallic dash accents, rear window
defroster, coloured bumpers, accessory
power outlets and a flip-up rear hatch
window – to name but a few. All the
defining qualities of the Matrix line are here: comfort, ease of handling, loads of space and, of course,
the Matrix’s trademark functionality.
