For safety drive

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. 138)

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. 138, 146)

3

Lock the head restraint in place with the center of the head restraint

closest to the top of your ears. (P. 144)

4

Wear the seat belt correctly. (P. 30)

Correct use of the seat belts

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

ing the vehicle. (P. 30)

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

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

(P. 53)

29

1-1. For safe use

Adjusting the mirrors

Make sure that you can see the rear of the vehicle clearly, by adjust-

ing the inside and outside rear view mirrors properly. (P. 148, 151)

WARNING

Observe the following precautions.

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

1

 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.

 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.

 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.

30

1-1. For safe use

Seat belt pretensioners (front seat)

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 col-

lision.

1

The pretensioners do not activate

in the event of a minor frontal

impact, a 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. 53)

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

belt, follow the instructions regarding seat belt usage. (P. 30)

 Having the belt replaced 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 dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and

equipped professional 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. 30)

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

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

People suffering illness

Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way. (P. 30)

When children are in the vehicle

 Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes

twisted around a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious inju-

ries that could result in death.

1

If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be

used to cut the belt.

Seat belt pretensioners

 Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger’s seat.

The seat belt pretensioner for the front passenger’s seat may not activate

in the event of a collision.

 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 dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and

equipped professional.

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 dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-

fessional.

 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 dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

Inappropriate handling may lead to incorrect operation.

36

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

When using the rear center seat belt

 Do not use the rear center seat belt with

either buckle released.

Fastening only one of the buckles may

result in death or serious injury in case

of sudden braking or a collision.

 Do not allow anyone sit on the rear center seat if the rear right seat is

folded down, as the seat belt buckle for the rear center seat belt is then

concealed under the folded seat and cannot be used.

37

1-1. For safe use

SRS airbags

The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The

SRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. 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 occu-

pants.

WARNING

1

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.

 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. 53)

 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.

41

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

SRS airbag precautions

 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.

1

 Do not allow anyone to kneel on the

passenger seat toward the door or put

their head or hands outside the vehicle.

 Vehicles without an SRS driver knee

airbag: Do not attach anything to or lean

anything against areas such as the

dashboard or steering wheel pad.

These items can become projectiles

when the SRS driver and front passen-

ger airbags deploy.

 Vehicles with an SRS driver knee air-

bag: Do not attach anything to or lean

anything against areas such as the

dashboard, steering wheel pad and

lower portion of the instrument panel.

These items can become projectiles

when the SRS driver, front passenger

and driver knee airbags deploy.

42

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

SRS airbag precautions

 Vehicles without SRS curtain shield air-

bags: Do not attach anything to areas

such as a door, windshield glass and

side door glass.

 Vehicles with SRS curtain shield air-

bags: Do not attach anything to areas

such as a door, windshield glass, side

door glass, front or rear pillar, roof side

rail and assist grip. (Except for the

speed limit label P. 439)

 Vehicles with an SRS driver knee air-

bag, but do not use a smart entry & start

system: Do not attach any heavy, sharp

or hard objects such as keys and

accessories to the key. The objects may

restrict the SRS driver knee airbag infla-

tion or be thrust into the driver’s seat

area by the force of the deploying air-

bag, thus causing a danger.

 Vehicles with SRS curtain shield airbags: Do not hang coat hangers or

other hard objects on the coat hooks. All of these items could become pro-

jectiles and may cause death or serious injury, should the SRS curtain

shield airbags deploy.

 Vehicles with an SRS driver knee airbag: If a vinyl cover is put on the area

where the SRS driver knee airbag will deploy, be sure to remove it.

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

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

Such accessories may prevent the side airbags from activating correctly,

disable the system or cause the side airbags to inflate accidentally, result-

ing in death or serious injury.

43

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

SRS airbag precautions

 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.

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

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

1

 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.

 Vehicles without SRS curtain shield airbags: If the areas where the SRS

airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel pad, are damaged or

cracked, have them replaced by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,

or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

 Vehicles with SRS curtain shield airbags: If the areas where the SRS air-

bags are stored, such as the steering wheel pad and front and rear pillar

garnishes, are damaged or cracked, have them replaced by any autho-

rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-

fessional.

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 dealer or repairer, or another duly

qualified and equipped professional. 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,

winches

 Modifications to the vehicle’s suspension system

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

mitter) and CD players

44

1-1. For safe use

 If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)

 Bruising and slight abrasions may result from contact with a deploying

(inflating) SRS airbag.

 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.

 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.

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

shield airbags [if equipped])

The SRS side and curtain shield airbags 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 approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehicle collid-

ing with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orien-

tation at an approximate speed of 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph]).

45

1-1. For safe use

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

a collision

The SRS front airbags 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

1

 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

46

1-1. For safe use

 Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags

(SRS side airbags and SRS curtain shield airbags [if equipped])

The SRS side and curtain shield airbags 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

 Collision from the side at an angle

The SRS side and curtain shield 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

47

1-1. For safe use

 When to contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another

duly qualified and equipped professional

the event that the rear seat cannot be used, the front seat 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 air-

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

1

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.

Safety inform at ion for 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.

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

dental contact with the shift lever, wiper switch etc.

 Use the rear door child-protector lock or the window lock switch to

avoid children opening the door while driving or operating the

power window accidentally.

 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 or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or

extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

53

1-1. For safe use

Child restraint system s

Toyota strongly urges the use of child restraint systems.

Points to remember

1

Studies have shown that installing a child restraint on a rear seat is

much safer than installing one on the front passenger seat.

 Choose a child restraint system that suits your vehicle and is appro-

priate to the age and size of the child.

 For installation details, follow the instructions provided with the child

restraint system.

General installation instructions are provided in this manual.

(P. 63)

 If child restraint system regulations exist in the country where you

reside, please contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or

(1) For the CRS which do not carry the ISO/XX size class identifica-

tion (A to G), for the applicable mass group, the car manufacturer

shall indicate the vehicle specific ISOFIX child restraint system(s)

recommended for each position.

Key of letters inserted in the above table:

IUF: Suitable for ISOFIX forward-facing child restraint systems of uni-

versal category approved for the use in this mass group.

1

IL: Suitable for ISOFIX child restraint systems of the categories for

“specific vehicles”, “restricted”, or “semiuniversal”, approved for

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

able outside of the EU area. Other child restraint systems different

from the systems mentioned in the table can be used, but the suitabil-

ity of the systems must be carefully checked with the child restraint

system manufacturer and retailer.

60

1-1. For safe use

 When installing a child restraint system on the front passenger seat

When you have to use a child restraint

system on the front passenger seat,

adjust the following:

 The seatback to the most upright posi-

tion

 The seat as far back as possible

 The seat cushion to the highest position

(if equipped)

 Selecting an appropriate child restraint system

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

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

 If the child is too large for a child restraint system, sit the child on a rear seat

and use the vehicle’s seat belt. (P. 30)

WARNING

Using a child restraint system

The use of a child restraint system not suitable for the vehicle may not prop-

erly secure the infant or child. It may result in death or serious injury (in the

event of sudden braking or an accident).

Child restraint precautions

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

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

depending on the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is

not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be

crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle’s interior.

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

forms to the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to acci-

dent statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat

than in the front seat.

61

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

Child restraint precautions

 Never use a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat

when the airbag manual on-off switch is on. (P. 49)

In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front pas-

senger airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child.

1

 A forward-facing child restraint system may be installed on the front pas-

senger seat only when it is unavoidable. A child restraint system that

requires a top strap should not be used in the front passenger seat since

there is no top strap anchor for the front passenger seat. Adjust the seat-

back as upright as possible and always move the seat as far back as pos-

sible because the front passenger airbag could inflate with considerable

speed and force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously injured.

 Vehicles without 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 from which the SRS side airbags deploy even if the child is seated in

the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the SRS 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.

 Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by

the child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If

it is not secured properly, it may cause death or serious injury to the child

in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or an accident.

62

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

When children are in the vehicle

Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes

twisted around a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries

that could result in death.

If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used

to cut the belt.

When the child restraint system is not in use

 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. This will prevent it

from injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or

an accident.

63

WARNING

When installing a child restraint system

 If child restraint system regulations exist in the country where you reside,

please contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly

qualified and equipped professional for the child restraint system installa-

tion.

1

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

of a sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

 Ensure that the belt and plate are securely locked and the seat belt is not

twisted.

 Shake the child restraint system left and right, and forward and backward

to ensure that it has been securely installed.

 After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.

 Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system

manufacturer.

 When a child restraint system with a top strap is installed, do not install the

head restraint. The head restraint may interfere with the top strap prevent-

ing secure installation of the child restraint system.

 Make sure to properly store the removed head restraint in a secure place

when you use the child restraint system on the rear seat.

72

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

When installing a child restraint system

 When using the rear right seat for the

child restraint system, do not sit in the

rear center seat. Seat belt function may

be impaired, such as being positioned

overly high or loose-fitting, which may

result in death or serious injury in the

event of sudden braking or an accident.

To correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchors

When using the lower anchors, be sure that there are no foreign objects

around the anchors and that the seat belt is not caught behind the child

restraint system. Make sure the child restraint system is securely attached,

or it may cause death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in

the event of a sudden braking, sudden swerve or an accident.

Ex haust gas prec autions

Harmful substances to the human body are included in exhaust

gases if inhale.

1

WARNING

Exhaust gases contain 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 dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-

fessional 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

dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
