1-1. For safe use

WARNING

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may cause the driver’s floor mat to slip, possibly interfering

with the pedals while driving. An unexpectedly high speed may result or it may

become difficult to stop the vehicle. This could lead to an accident, resulting in

death or serious injury.

1

■When installing the driver’s floor mat

●Do not use floor mats designed for other models or different model year

vehicles, even if they are Toyota Genuine floor mats.

●Only use floor mats designed for the driver’s seat.

●Always install the floor mat securely using the retaining hooks (clips) pro-

vided.

●Do not use two or more floor mats on top of each other.

●Do not place the floor mat bottom-side up or upside-down.

■Before driving

●Check that the floor mat is securely

fixed in the correct place with all the

provided retaining hooks (clips). Be

especially careful to perform this check

after cleaning the floor.

●With the engine stopped and the shift

lever in N, fully depress each pedal to

the floor to make sure it does not inter-

fere with the floor mat.

1-1. For safe use

For safe driving

For safe driving, adjust the seat and mirror to an appropriate

position before driving.

Correct driving posture

1

Adjust the angle of the seat-

back so that you are sitting

straight up and so that you do

not have to lean forward to

steer. (P. 150)

2

Adjust the seat so that you can

depress the pedals fully and so

that your arms bend slightly at

the elbow when gripping the

steering wheel. (P. 150, 156)

3

Wear the seat belt correctly. (P. 32)

Correct use of the seat belts

Make sure that all occupants are wearing their seat belts before driv-

ing the vehicle. (P. 32)

Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child

becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.

(P. 52)

Adjusting the mirrors

Make sure that you can see backward clearly by adjusting the inside

and outside rear view mirrors properly. (P. 158, 159)

31

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

●Do not adjust the position of the driver’s seat while driving.

Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

●Do not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seatback.

A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce

the effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint.

1

●Do not place anything under the front seats.

Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the seat

tracks and stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an acci-

dent and the adjustment mechanism may also be damaged.

●Always observe the legal speed limit when driving on public roads.

●When driving over long distances, take regular breaks before you start to

feel tired.

Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while driving, do not force yourself to con-

tinue driving and take a break immediately.

32

1-1. For safe use

Seat belts

Make sure that all occupants are wearing their seat belts before

driving the vehicle.

Correct use of the seat belts

● Extend the shoulder belt so that

it comes fully over the shoulder,

but does not come into contact

with the neck or slide off the

shoulder.

● Position the lap belt as low as

possible over the hips.

● Adjust the position of the seat-

back. Sit up straight and well

back in the seat.

● Do not twist the seat belt.

Fastening and releasing the seat belt

1

To fasten the seat belt, push the

plate into the buckle until a click

sound is heard.

2

To release the seat belt, press

the release button.

1-1. For safe use

Seat belt pretensioners (front seats)

The pretensioners help the seat

belts to quickly restrain the occu-

pants by retracting the seat belts

when the vehicle is subjected to

certain types of severe frontal or

side collision.

1

The pretensioners do not activate

in the event of a minor frontal

impact, a minor side impact, a rear

impact or a vehicle rollover.

■Emergency locking retractor (ELR)

The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also

lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to

extend so that you can move around fully.

■Child seat belt usage

The seat belts of your vehicle were principally designed for persons of adult

size.

●Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child

becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt. (P. 52)

●When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat

belt, follow the instructions regarding seat belt usage. (P. 32)

■Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated

If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate for

the first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent collisions.

■Seat belt regulations

If seat belt regulations exist in the country where you reside, please contact

any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable

repairer for seat belt replacement or installation.

34

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of

sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.

■Wearing a seat belt

●Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt.

●Always wear a seat belt properly.

●Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt

for more than one person at once, including children.

●Toyota recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and always

use a seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.

●To achieve a proper seating position, do not recline the seat more than

necessary. The seat belt is most effective when the occupants are sitting

up straight and well back in the seats.

●Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.

●Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips.

■Pregnant women

Obtain medical advice and wear the seat

belt in the proper way. (P. 32)

Women who are pregnant should posi-

tion the lap belt as low as possible over

the hips in the same manner as other

occupants, extending the shoulder belt

completely over the shoulder and avoid-

ing belt contact with the rounding of the

abdominal area.

If the seat belt is not worn properly, not

only the pregnant woman, but also the

fetus could suffer death or serious injury

as a result of sudden braking or a colli-

sion.

35

WARNING

■People suffering illness

Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way. (P. 32)

■When children are in the vehicle

P. 70

■Seat belt pretensioners

1

If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will come on. In that

case, the seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced at any

authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable

repairer.

■Seat belt damage and wear

●Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be

jammed in the door.

●Inspect the seat belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose

parts. Do not use a damaged seat belt until it is replaced. Damaged seat

belts cannot protect an occupant from death or serious injury.

●Ensure that the belt and plate are locked and the belt is not twisted.

If the seat belt does not function correctly, immediately contact any autho-

rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

●Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been

involved in a serious accident, even if there is no obvious damage.

●Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of the

seat belts. Have any necessary repairs carried out by any authorized Toy-

ota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. Inappro-

priate handling of the pretensioner may prevent it from operating properly

resulting in death or serious injury.

36

1-1. For safe use

SRS airbags

The SRS airbags inflate when the vehicle is subjected to certain

types of severe impacts that may cause significant injury to the

occupants. They work together with the seat belts to help reduce

the risk of death or serious injury.

◆ SRS front airbags

1

SRS driver airbag/front passenger airbag

Can help protect the head and chest of the driver and front pas-

senger from impact with interior components

◆ SRS side airbags and SRS curtain shield airbags

2

SRS side airbags

Can help protect the torso and hip of the front seat occupants

3

SRS curtain shield airbags (if equipped)

Can help protect primarily the head of occupants in the outer

seats

airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occu-

pants.

39

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

■SRS airbag precautions

Observe the following precautions regarding the SRS airbags.

Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.

●The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts

properly.

The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts.

1

●The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause

death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag.

Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 50 - 75 mm (2 - 3 in.)

of inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10 in.) from your driver airbag pro-

vides you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured from

the center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than

250 mm (10 in.) away now, you can change your driving position in sev-

eral ways:

ꢀ Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the ped-

als comfortably.

ꢀ Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle designs vary,

many drivers can achieve the 250 mm (10 in.) distance, even with the

driver seat all the way forward, simply by reclining the back of the seat

somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to see the

road, raise yourself by using a firm, non-slippery cushion, or raise the

seat if your vehicle has that feature.

ꢀ If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the air-

bag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.

The seat should be adjusted as recommended above, while still maintain-

ing control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instru-

ment panel controls.

40

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

■SRS airbag precautions

●The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and

can cause death or serious injury especially if the front passenger is very

close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far from the air-

bag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits

upright.

●Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or

seriously injured by a deploying airbag. An infant or child who is too small

to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint sys-

tem. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in

the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats are

safer for infants and children than the front passenger seat. (P. 52)

●Do not sit on the edge of the seat or

lean against the dashboard.

●Do not allow a child to stand in front of

the SRS front passenger airbag unit or

sit on the knees of a front passenger.

●Do not allow the front seat occupants to

hold items on their knees.

●Vehicles without SRS curtain shield air-

bags: Do not lean against the front door.

●Vehicles with SRS curtain shield air-

bags: Do not lean against the door, the

roof side rail or the front, side and rear

pillars.

41

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

■SRS airbag precautions

●Do not allow anyone to kneel on the

passenger seat toward the door or put

their head or hands outside the vehicle.

1

●Do not attach anything to or lean any-

thing against areas such as the dash-

board, steering wheel pad.

These items can become projectiles

when the SRS driver and front passen-

ger airbags deploy.

●Vehicles without SRS curtain shield air-

bags: Do not attach anything to areas

such as a door, windshield and side

window.

●Vehicles with SRS curtain shield air-

bags: Do not attach anything to areas

such as a door, windshield, side win-

dow, front or rear pillar and roof side

rail. (Except for the speed limit label

P. 431)

●Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side

airbags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the airbags. Such

accessories may prevent the side airbags from activating correctly, disable

the system or cause the side airbags to inflate accidentally, resulting in

death or serious injury.

●Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS air-

bag components.

Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.

42

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

■SRS airbag precautions

●Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS air-

bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.

●If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbags have deployed, open a

door or window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to do

so. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation.

●If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel

pad, and front and rear pillar garnishes (vehicles with SRS curtain shield

airbags), are damaged or cracked, have them replaced by any authorized

Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

■Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components

Do not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modifications

without consulting any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized

repairer, or any reliable repairer. The SRS airbags may malfunction or

deploy (inflate) accidentally, causing death or serious injury.

●Installation, removal, disassembly and repair of the SRS airbags

●Repairs, modifications, removal or replacement of the steering wheel,

instrument panel, dashboard, seats or seat upholstery, front, side and rear

pillars or roof side rails

●Repairs or modifications of the front fender, front bumper or side of the

occupant compartment

●Installation of a grille guard (bull bars, kangaroo bar, etc.), snow plows or

winches

●Modifications to the vehicle’s suspension system

●Installation of electronic devices such as mobile two-way radios (RF-trans-

mitter) and CD players

43

1-1. For safe use

■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)

●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising, etc., may be sustained from SRS airbags,

due to the extremely high speed deployment (inflation) by hot gases.

●A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.

●Vehicles without SRS curtain shield airbags: Parts of the airbag module

(steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats may

be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.

1

●Vehicles with SRS curtain shield airbags: Parts of the airbag module (steer-

ing wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats, parts of

the front and rear pillars, and roof side rails, may be hot for several minutes.

The airbag itself may also be hot.

●The windshield may crack.

■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags)

●The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the

set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approximately

20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not

move or deform).

However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher in the following

situations:

ꢀ If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole,

which can move or deform on impact

ꢀ If the vehicle is involved in an underride collision, such as a collision in

which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a

truck

●Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt pre-

tensioners will activate.

44

1-1. For safe use

■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side airbags and SRS curtain

shield airbags [if equipped])

●The SRS side airbags and SRS curtain shield airbags (if equipped) will

deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the

level of force corresponding to the impact force produced by an approxi-

mately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehicle colliding with the vehicle cabin from a

direction perpendicular to the vehicle orientation at an approximate speed of

20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph]).

●Both SRS curtain shield airbags (if equipped) may also deploy in the event

of a severe frontal collision.

■Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other than

a collision

The SRS front airbags and SRS curtain shield airbags (if equipped) may also

deploy if a serious impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some

examples are shown in the illustration.

●Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard

surface

●Falling into or jumping over a deep hole

●Landing hard or falling

■Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS front air-

bags)

The SRS front airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle is involved in a

side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed frontal

collision. But, whenever a collision of any type causes sufficient forward

deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front airbags may occur.

●Collision from the side

●Collision from the rear

●Vehicle rollover

45

1-1. For safe use

■Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS side air-

bags and SRS curtain shield airbags [if equipped])

The SRS side airbags and SRS curtain shield airbags (if equipped) may not

activate if the vehicle is subjected to a collision from the side at certain

angles, or a collision to the side of the vehicle body other than the passenger

compartment.

●Collision from the side to the vehicle

body other than the passenger compart-

ment

1

●Collision from the side at an angle

The SRS side airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle is involved in a

frontal or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed side

collision.

●Collision from the front

●Collision from the rear

●Vehicle rollover

The SRS curtain shield airbags (if equipped) do not generally inflate if the

vehicle is involved in a rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-

speed side or low-speed frontal collision.

●Collision from the rear

●Vehicle rollover

■When to contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized

repairer, or any reliable repairer

In the following cases, the vehicle will require inspection and/or repair. Con-

tact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-

able repairer as soon as possible.

●Any of the SRS airbags have been inflated.

●The front of the vehicle is damaged or

deformed, or was involved in an acci-

dent that was not severe enough to

cause the SRS front airbags to inflate.

●A portion of a door or its surrounding

area is damaged or deformed, or the

vehicle was involved in an accident that

was not severe enough to cause the

SRS side airbags and SRS curtain

shield airbags (if equipped) to inflate.

●The pad section of the steering wheel or

dashboard near the front passenger air-

bag is scratched, cracked, or otherwise

damaged.

47

1-1. For safe use

●The surface of the seats with the SRS

side airbag is scratched, cracked, or oth-

erwise damaged.

1-1. For safe use

Exhaust gas precautions

Harmful substance to the human body is included in exhaust

gases if inhale.

WARNING

Exhaust gases include harmful carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and

odorless. Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases enter the vehicle and may lead to

an accident caused by light-headedness, or may lead to death or a serious

health hazard.

■Important points while driving

●Keep the back door closed.

●If you smell exhaust gases in the vehicle even when the back door is

closed, open the windows and have the vehicle inspected at any autho-

rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer

as soon as possible.

■When parking

●If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area or a closed area, such as a

garage, stop the engine.

●Do not leave the vehicle with the engine running for a long time.

If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space

and ensure that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior.

●Do not leave the engine running in an area with snow build-up, or where it

is snowing. If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the engine is

running, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle.

■Exhaust pipe

The exhaust system needs to be checked periodically. If there is a hole or

crack caused by corrosion, damage to a joint or abnormal exhaust noise, be

sure to have the vehicle inspected and repaired by any authorized Toyota

retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

WARNING

■When installing a child restraint system

For safety reasons, always install a child restraint system in a rear seat. In

the event that the rear seat cannot be used, the front seat can be used as

long as the airbag manual on-off system is set to “OFF”.

If the airbag manual on-off system is left on, the strong impact of the airbag

deployment (inflation) may cause serious injury or even death.

■When a child restraint system is not installed on the front passenger

seat

Ensure that the airbag manual on-off system is set to “ON”.

If it is left off, the airbag may not deploy in the event of an accident, which

may result in serious injury or even death.

51

1-2. Child safety

Riding with children

Observe the following precautions when children are in the vehi-

cle.

Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the

child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat

belt.

1

● It is recommended that children sit in the rear seats to avoid acci-

dental contact with the shift lever, wiper switch etc.

● 5-door models: Use the rear door child-protector lock to avoid chil-

dren opening the door, accidentally, while driving. (P. 119)

● Do not let small children operate equipment which may catch or

pinch body parts, such as the power window, hood, back door,

seats, etc.

WARNING

Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to

have or use the key.

Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral.

There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with

the windows, the canvas top or other features of the vehicle. In addition,

heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal

to children.

52

1-2. Child safety

Child restraint systems

Before installing a child restraint system in the vehicle, there are

precautions that need to be observed, different types of child

restraint systems, as well as installation methods, etc., written in

this manual.

● Use a child restraint system when riding with a small child that

cannot properly use a seat belt. For the child’s safety, install the

child restraint system to a rear seat. Be sure to follow the installa-

tion method that is in the operation manual enclosed with the

restraint system.

● The use of a Toyota genuine child restraint system is recom-

mended, as it is safer to use in this vehicle. Toyota genuine child

restraint systems are made specifically for Toyota vehicles. They

can be purchased at a Toyota dealer.

Points to remember

● Prioritize and observe the warnings, as well as the laws and regula-

tions for child restraint systems.

● Use a child restraint system until the child becomes large enough to

properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.

● Choose a child restraint system appropriate to the age and size of

the child.

1

● Note that not all child restraint systems can fit in all vehicles.

Before using or purchasing a child restraint system, check the com-

patibility of the child restraint system with seat positions. (P. 59)

WARNING

■When a child is riding

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

●For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child

must be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system

which is correctly installed. For installation details, refer to the operation

manual enclosed with the child restraint system. General installation

instruction is provided in this manual.

●Toyota strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that con-

forms to the weight and size of the child, installed on the rear seat. Accord-

ing to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the

rear seat than in the front seat.

●Holding a child in your or someone else’s arms is not a substitute for a

child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be crushed against the

windshield or between the holder and the interior of the vehicle.

54

1-2. Child safety

WARNING

■Handling the child restraint system

If the child restraint system is not properly fixed in place, the child or other

passengers may be seriously injured or even killed in the event of sudden

braking, sudden swerving, or an accident.

●If the vehicle were to receive a strong impact from an accident, etc., it is

possible that the child restraint system has damage that is not readily visi-

ble. In such cases, do not reuse the restraint system.

●Depending on the child restraint system, installation may be difficult or

impossible. In those cases, check whether the child restraint system is

suitable for installment in the vehicle. (P. 59) Be sure to install and

observe the usage rules after carefully reading the child restraint system

fixing method in this manual, as well as the operation manual enclosed

with the child restraint system.

●Keep the child restraint system properly secured on the seat even if it is

not in use. Do not store the child restraint system unsecured in the pas-

senger compartment.

●If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from the

vehicle or store it securely in the luggage compartment.

WARNING

■When using a child restraint system

●Vehicles without SRS curtain shield air-

bags: Do not allow the child to lean his/

her head or any part of his/her body

against the door or the area of the seat

from which the side airbags deploy

even if the child is seated in the child

restraint system. It is dangerous if the

side airbags inflate, and the impact

could cause death or serious injury to

the child.

●Vehicles with SRS curtain shield airbags: Do not allow the child to lean his/

her head or any part of his/her body against the door or the area of the

seat, front and rear pillars or roof side rails from which the SRS side air-

bags or SRS curtain shield airbags deploy even if the child is seated in the

child restraint system. It is dangerous if the SRS side airbags and curtain

shield airbags inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to

the child.

●When a junior seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is

positioned across the center of the child’s shoulder. The belt should be

kept away from the child’s neck, but not so that it could fall off the child’s

shoulder.

●Use child restraint system suitable to the age and size of the child and

install it to the rear seat.

●If the driver’s seat interferes with the

child restraint system and prevents it

from being attached correctly, attach the

child restraint system to the right-hand

rear seat (left-hand drive vehicles) or

the left-hand rear seat (right-hand drive

vehicles). (P. 68)

The child restraint systems mentioned in the table may not be avail-

able outside the EU area.

When securing some types of child restraint systems in rear seat, it

may not be possible to properly use the seat belts in positions next to

the child restraint without interfering with it or affecting seat belt effec-

tiveness. Be sure your seat belt fits snugly across your shoulder and

low on your hips. If it does not, or if it interferes with the child restraint,

move to a different position.

Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

66

1-2. Child safety

● When installing a child restraint in the rear seats, adjust the front

seat so that it does not interfere with the child or child restraint sys-

tem.

● When installing a child seat with support base, if the child seat inter-

feres with the seatback when latching it into the support base,

adjust the seatback rearward until there is no interference.

● If the seat belt shoulder anchor

is ahead of the child seat belt

guide, move the seat cushion

forward.

● When installing a junior seat, if the child in your child restraint sys-

tem is in a very upright position, adjust the seatback angle to the

most comfortable position. And if the seat belt shoulder anchor is

ahead of the child seat belt guide, move the seat cushion forward.
