the illustration.

Before driving

Observe the following

before starting off in the

vehicle to ensure safety of

driving.

WARNING

Observe the following precau-

tions.

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 vehi-

cle. This could lead to an acci-

dent, resulting in death or serious

injury.

Installing floor mats

Use only floor mats designed

specifically for vehicles of the

same model and model year as

your vehicle. Fix them securely

in place onto the carpet.

IWhen installing the driver’s

floor mat

1 Insert the retaining hooks

(clips) into the floor mat eye-

lets.

GDo not use floor mats designed

for other models or different

model year vehicles, even if

they are Toyota Genuine floor

mats.

GOnly use floor mats designed

for the driver’s seat.

GAlways install the floor mat

securely using the retaining

hooks (clips) provided.

GDo not use two or more floor

mats on top of each other.

GDo not place the floor mat bot-

tom-side up or upside-down.

2 Turn the upper knob of each

retaining hook (clip) to secure

the floor mats in place.

WARNING

properly wear the vehicle’s seat

belt. (P.47)

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may result in

death or serious injury.

Adjusting the mirrors

GDo not adjust the position of the

driver’s seat while driving.

Make sure that you can see the

rear of the vehicle clearly, by

adjusting the inside rear view

mirror and outside rear view mir-

rors properly. (P.182, 183)

Doing so could cause the driver

to lose control of the vehicle.

GDo 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.

GDo 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 accident and the

adjustment mechanism may

also be damaged.

GAlways observe the legal speed

limit when driving on public

roads.

GWhen driving over long dis-

tances, take regular breaks

before you start to feel tired.

Also, if you feel tired or sleepy

while driving, do not force your-

self to continue driving and take

a break immediately.

Correct use of the seat

belts

Make sure that all occupants are

wearing their seat belts before

driving the vehicle. (P.30)

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.

IWearing a seat belt

Obtain medical advice and wear

the seat belt in the proper way.

(P.30)

GEnsure that all passengers wear

a seat belt.

Women who are pregnant should

GAlways wear a seat belt prop-

erly.

position the lap belt as low as

possible over the hips in the same

manner as other occupants,

extending the shoulder belt com-

pletely over the shoulder and

avoiding belt contact with the

rounding of the abdominal area.

GEach seat belt should be used

by one person only. Do not use

a seat belt for more than one

person at once, including chil-

dren.

If the seat belt is not worn prop-

erly, 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.

GToyota recommends that chil-

dren be seated in the rear seat

and always use a seat belt

and/or an appropriate child

restraint system.

GTo 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.

IPeople suffering illness

Obtain medical advice and wear

the seat belt in the proper way.

(P.30)

IWhen children are in the vehi-

cle

GDo not wear the shoulder belt

under your arm.

P.55

GAlways wear your seat belt low

and snug across your hips.

ISeat belt damage and wear

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

GInspect 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.

GEnsure that the belt and plate

are locked and the belt is not

twisted.

If the seat belt does not function

correctly, immediately contact

your Toyota dealer.

 Do not twist the seat belt.

IChild seat belt usage

The seat belts of your vehicle were

principally designed for persons of

adult size.

GUse a child restraint system

appropriate for the child, until the

child becomes large enough to

properly wear the vehicle’s seat

belt. (P.47)

GWhen the child becomes large

enough to properly wear the vehi-

cle’s seat belt, follow the instruc-

tions regarding seat belt usage.

(P.29)

GReplace the seat assembly,

including the belts, if your vehi-

cle has been involved in a seri-

ous accident, even if there’s no

obvious damage.

GDo not attempt to install,

remove, modify, disassemble or

dispose of the seat belts. Have

any necessary repairs carried

out by your Toyota dealer. Inap-

propriate handling may lead to

incorrect operation.

ISeat belt extender

If your seat belts cannot be fastened

securely because they are not long

enough, a personalized seat belt

extender is available from your

Toyota dealer free of charge.

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

seatback. Sit up straight and

well back in the seat.

Fastening and releasing

the seat belt

WARNING

IUsing a seat belt extender

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.

1

GDo not wear the seat belt

extender if you can fasten the

seat belt without the extender.

GDo not use the seat belt

extender when installing a child

restraint system because the

belt will not securely hold the

child restraint system, increas-

ing the risk of death or serious

injury in the event of an acci-

dent.

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

.

GThe personalized extender may

not be safe on another vehicle,

when used by another person,

or at a different seating position

other than the one originally

intended.

IEmergency 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.

NOTICE

IWhen using a seat belt

extender

IAutomatic locking retractor

(ALR)

When releasing the seat belt,

press on the buckle release but-

ton on the extender, not on the

seat belt.

This helps prevent damage to the

vehicle interior and the extender

itself.

When a passenger’s shoulder belt is

completely extended and then

retracted even slightly, the belt is

locked in that position and cannot

be extended. This feature is used to

hold the child restraint system

(CRS) firmly. To free the belt again,

fully retract the belt and then pull the

belt out once more.

IReplacing the belt after the

pretensioner has been acti-

vated

If the vehicle is involved in multiple

collisions, the pretensioner will acti-

vate for the first collision, but will not

activate for the second or subse-

quent collisions.

IPCS-linked control

If the PCS (Pre-Collision System)

determines that the possibility of a

collision with a vehicle is high, the

seat belt pretensioners will be pre-

pared to operate.

.

2 Push the seat belt shoulder

anchor up.

WARNING

Move the height adjuster up and

down as needed until you hear a

click.

ISeat belt pretensioners

Observe the following precautions

to reduce the risk of injury in the

event of sudden braking or an

accident.

Failure to do so may result in

death or serious injury.

WARNING

IAdjustable shoulder anchor

Always make sure the shoulder

belt is positioned across the cen-

ter of your shoulder. The belt

should be kept away from your

neck, but not falling off your shoul-

der. Failure to do so could reduce

the amount of protection in an

accident and cause death or seri-

ous injuries in the event of a sud-

den stop, sudden swerve or

accident.

GDo not place anything, such as

a cushion, on the front passen-

ger’s seat. Doing so will

disperse the passenger’s

weight, which prevents the sen-

sor from detecting the passen-

ger’s weight properly. As a

result, the seat belt pretensioner

for the front passenger’s seat

may not operate in the event of

a collision.

Seat belt pretensioners

GIf a pretensioner has operated,

the SRS warning light will illumi-

nate. In this situation, the seat

belt cannot be used and must

be replaced by your Toyota

dealer.

based on US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The

airbag sensor assembly (ECU) controls airbag deployment based on

information obtained from the sensors, etc., shown in the system

components diagram above. This information includes crash sever-

ity and occupant information. As the airbags deploy, a chemical

reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to

help restrain the motion of the occupants.

tions. Failure to do so may result

in death or serious injury.

GThe driver and all passengers

must wear their seat belts cor-

rectly.

1-1. For safe use

• If your steering wheel is adjust-

able, tilt it downward. This

points the airbag toward your

chest instead of your head and

neck. The seat should be

adjusted as recommended by

the NHTSA, while still being

able to control the vehicle with

the pedals and steering wheel,

and maintaining your view of the

instrument panel controls.

WARNING

GThe SRS driver airbag deploys

with considerable force, and

can cause death or serious

injury, especially if the driver is

very close to the airbag. The

National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration (NHTSA)

advises:

Since the risk zone for the driver’s

airbag is the first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75

mm) of inflation, placing yourself

10 in. (250 mm) from your driver

airbag provides you with a clear

margin of safety. This distance is

measured from the center of the

steering wheel to your breast-

bone. If your current driving posi-

tion places you less than 10 in.

(250 mm) away from the driver

airbag, you can change your driv-

ing position in several ways:

1

GIf a seat belt extender has been

connected to the front passen-

ger seat belt buckle but the

latch plate of the front passen-

ger seat belt has not been fas-

tened to the seat belt extender,

the SRS airbag system will

judge that the front passenger is

wearing the seat belt even

though the seat belt has not

been fastened. In this case, the

SRS front airbags for the front

passenger may not deploy cor-

rectly in a collision, resulting in

death or serious injury. Be sure

to wear the seat belt correctly

when using a seat belt extender.

• Move your seat to the rear as

far as possible while still being

able to reach the pedals com-

fortably.

GThe SRS front passenger

airbag deploys with consider-

able 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 posi-

tioned as far possible from the

airbag with the seatback

• Slightly recline the seatback.

Although vehicle designs vary,

many drivers can achieve the

10 in. (250 mm) distance, even

with the driver seat all the way

forward, simply by reclining the

seatback somewhat. If reclining

the seatback makes it hard to

see the road, raise yourself by

using a firm, non-slippery cush-

ion, or raise the seat if your

vehicle has that feature.

adjusted so that the passenger

is sat upright.

38

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

GDo not lean against the door,

roof side rail, or front, side, or

rear pillar.

GImproperly 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

system. Toyota strongly recom-

mends that all infants and chil-

dren 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.47)

GDo not allow anyone to kneel on

a seat toward the door or put

their head or hands outside the

vehicle.

GDo not sit on the edge of the

seat or lean against the dash-

board.

GDo not attach anything to or

lean anything against areas

such as the dashboard, steering

wheel pad and lower portion of

the instrument panel.

GDo not allow a child to stand in

front of the SRS front passenger

airbag or sit on the lap of a front

passenger.

GFront seat occupants should

never hold items on their lap.

39

1-1. For safe use

GDo not touch any components

of the SRS airbags immediately

after the SRS airbags have

deployed (inflated) as they may

be hot.

WARNING

GDo not attach anything to areas

such as the doors, windshield,

side windows, front or rear pil-

lars, roof side rails and assist

grips. (With the exception of the

speed limit label P.486)

GIf breathing becomes difficult

after the SRS airbags have

deployed, open a door or win-

dow to allow fresh air in, or

leave the vehicle if it is safe to

do so. Wash off any residue as

1

soon as possible to prevent skin

irritation.

GIf a part where an SRS airbag is

stored is damaged or cracked,

have it replaced by your Toyota

dealer.

GDo not hang coat hangers or

other hard objects on the coat

hooks. These items could

become projectiles if the SRS

curtain shield airbags deploy,

possibly leading to death or

serious injury.

GDo not place anything, such as

a cushion, on the front passen-

ger’s seat. Doing so will

disperse the passenger’s

weight, which prevents the sen-

sor from detecting the passen-

ger’s weight properly. As a

result, the SRS front airbags for

the front passenger’s seat may

not deploy in the event of a colli-

sion.

GIf a vinyl cover is attached to the

area where the SRS knee

airbag deploys, be sure to

remove it.

GDo not use seat accessories

which cover the parts from

which the SRS airbags deploy,

as they may interfere with infla-

tion of the SRS airbags. Such

accessories may prevent the

SRS airbags from deploying

correctly, may disable the sys-

tem or cause the SRS airbags

to inflate unintentionally, possi-

bly resulting in death or serious

injury.

IModification and disposal of

SRS airbag system compo-

nents

Do not dispose of your vehicle or

perform any of the following modi-

fications without consulting your

Toyota dealer. The SRS airbags

may malfunction or deploy unin-

tentionally, possibly leading to

death or serious injury.

GRemoval, installation, disas-

sembly or repair of the SRS

airbags

GDo not strike or apply significant

force to the SRS airbag system

components, front doors or their

surrounding area.

Doing so may cause the SRS
