Head restraints  
CAUTION  
When returning the seatback to the  
upright position:  
D Make sure the seat belts are not  
twisted or caught in the seatback  
and are arranged in their proper  
position for ready use.  
D Make sure the seatback is securely  
locked by pushing forward and rear-  
ward on the top of the seatback.  
1. Pull up the seatback security lock  
lever 1 to the unlock position.  
For your safety, adjust the head re-  
straint before driving.  
To raise: Pull it up.  
To lower: Push it down while pressing the  
lock release button.  
2. Pull up the lock release button 2.  
3. Fold down the seatback.  
Each seatback may be folded separately.  
On some models, you can also move the  
head restraint forward or backward. If  
such adjustment is desired, pull or push  
the head restraint.  
This will enlarge the trunk (coupe) or lug-  
gage compartment (liftback) as far as the  
front seatbacks. See ”Luggage stowage  
precautions” in Part 2 for precautions to  
observe for loading luggage.  
The head restraint is most effective when  
it is close to your head. Therefore, using  
a cushion on the seatback is not recom-  
mended.

Seat belts—  
—Seat belt precautions  
Toyota strongly urges that the driver and  
passengers in the vehicle be properly re-  
strained at all times with the seat belts  
provided. Failure to do so could increase  
the chance of injury and/or the severity of  
injury in accidents.  
Pregnant woman. Toyota recommends the  
use of a seat belt. Ask your doctor for  
specific recommendations. The lap belt  
should be worn securely and as low as  
possible over the hips and not on the  
waist.  
CAUTION  
D Adjust the center of the head re-  
straint so that it is closest to the  
top of your ears.  
D After adjusting the head restraint,  
make sure it is locked in position.  
Child. Use a child restraint system ap-  
propriate for the child until the child be-  
comes large enough to properly wear the  
vehicle’s seat belts. See ”Child restraint”  
for details.  
Injured person. Toyota recommends the  
use of a seat belt. Depending on the inju-  
ry, first check with your doctor for specific  
recommendations.  
D Do not drive with the head re-  
straints removed.  
If a child is too large for a child restraint  
system, the child should sit in the rear  
seat and must be restrained using the  
vehicle’s seat belt. According to accident  
statistics, the child is safer when properly  
restrained in the rear seat than in the  
front seat.  
CAUTION  
Persons should ride in their seats  
properly wearing their seat belts  
whenever the vehicle is moving.  
Otherwise, they are much more likely  
to suffer serious bodily injury or  
death in the event of sudden braking  
or a collision.  
If a child must sit in the front seat, the  
seat belts should be worn properly. If an  
accident occurs and the seat belts are not  
worn properly, the force of the rapid infla-  
tion of the airbag may cause death or  
serious injury to the child.  
When using the seat belts, observe  
the following:  
D Use the belt for only one person at  
a time. Do not use a single belt for  
two or more people—even children.  
Do not allow the child to stand up or  
kneel on either rear or front seats. An  
unrestrained child could suffer serious in-  
jury or death during emergency braking or  
a collision. Also, do not let the child sit  
on your lap. It does not provide sufficient  
restraint.
