Sliding operation
Tilting operation To operate the moon roof, use the
switches beside the interior light.
The moon roof works when the ignition
switch is in the ONº position. However, if
all the doors are closed, it works for 60 seconds even after the ignition switch is
turned off. It stops working when any of the doors is opened. Sun shade operationÐ The sun shade can be opened or closed by hand. Sliding operationÐ
To open: Push the switch on the SLIDEº side.
The sun shade will be opened together with the roof.
To close: Push the switch on the opposite
side of the SLIDEº side.
As a precaution when closing, the roof
stops at the three-quarters closed posi-
tron before fully closing. Therefore, re-
lease the switch and then push it again to
close it completely.

While adjusting the seat, do not put
your hands under the seat or near
the moving parts. You may jam
your hands or fingers.1. SEAT POSITION ADJUSTING LE- VER
Pull the lever up. Then slide the seat to
the desired position with slight body
pressure and release the lever.
2. SEATBACK ANGLE ADJUSTING LEVER
Lean forward and pull the lever up.
Then lean back to the desired angle
and release the lever.
CAUTION!
To reduce the risk of sliding under
the lap belt during a collision, avoid
reclining the seatback any more
than needed. The seat belts providemaximum protection when the driv-
er and the passenger are sitting up
straight and well back in the seats.
If you are reclined, the lap belt may
slide past your hips and apply re-
straint forces directly to the abdo-
men. Therefore, in the event of a
frontal collision, the risk of person- al injury may increase with increas-
ing recline of the seatback.

1. Pull the seatback lock release lever
and fold down the seatback.
Hold the lever until you have swing the
seatback slightly forward.
2. Pull the seat lock release lever up.
Lift the seat and remove the seat to-
ward you.
Hold
the lever until you have lifted the seat
upward slightly. Folding down or removing the temporary third seat will enlarge compartment. See
Luggage stowing precautionsº in Part 2
for what to observe in loading luggage.
1. Hook the temporary third seat as
shown in the illustration.
CAUTION!
Make sure the temporary third seat
is securely locked.
2. Pull the seatback lock release lever
and return the seatback.
Hold the lever until you have returned the seatback.
CAUTION!
Make sure the seatback is securely
locked by pushing forward and rear-
ward on the top of the seatback.
ÐReturning temporary third seat

29
If the seat belt cannot be pulled out of the
retractor,
firmly pull the belt and release it.
You will then be able to smoothly pull the
belt out of the retractor.
When a passenger's shoulder belt is com-
pletely extended and is then retracted
even slightly, the belt is locked in that posi-
tion and cannot be extended. This feature
is used to hold the child restraint system
securely. (For details, see Child restraintº
in this chapter.) To free the belt again, fully
retract the belt and then pull the belt out
once more.
CAUTION!
After inserting the tab, make sure
the tab and buckle are locked and that the belt is not twisted.
Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in
the buckle as this may prevent you
from properly latching the tab andbuckle.
If the seat belt does not function
normally, i mmediately contact your
Toyota dealer.
Seat belts with an adjustable shoulder anchorÐ
Adjust the shoulder anchor position
to your size.
To raise: Slide the anchor up.
To lower: Push in the lock release button
and slide the anchor down.
After adjustment make sure the anchor is
locked in position.
CAUTION!
Always make sure the shoulder belt
is positioned across the center of
your shoulder. The belt should be
kept away from your neck, but not
falling off your shoulder. Failure to
do so could reduce the amount of
protection in an accident and in-
crease the chance of injury.

The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) airbags are designed to provide
further protection to the driver and
front passenger when added to the pri-
mary protection provided by the seatbelts.
In response to a severe frontal impact, the
SRS airbags work together with the seatbelt to prevent or reduce injury by inflat- ing, in order to decrease the likelihood of
the driver's or front passenger's head or
chest directly hitting the steering wheel or dashboard. The passenger airbag is acti- vated even with no passenger in the frontseat.This indicator comes on when the
ignition key is turned to the ACCº or
ONº position. It goes off after about 6
seconds. This means the SRS airbags
are operating properly.
The SRS airbag warning light system
monitors the airbag sensor assembly, in-
flators, warning light, interconnecting wir-
ing and power sources.The SRS airbag system is designed to
activate in response to a severe frontal
impact within the shaded area be-
tween the arrows in the illustration.
The SRS airbags will deploy if the severity
of the impact is above the designed
threshold level, comparable to an approxi-
mate 20 km/h (14 mph) collision when im-
pacting straight into a fixed barrier that
does not move or deform.
If the severity of the impact is below the
above threshold level, the SRS airbags
may not deploy.

However, this threshold velocity will be
considerably higher if the vehicle strikes
an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign
pole, which can move or deform on im-
pact, or if it is
involved in an underride col-
lision (e.g. a collision in which the nose of
the vehicle underridesº, or goes under, the bed of a truck). It is possible with collision severity at the marginal level of airbag sensor detection
and activation that only one of your ve-
hicle's two airbags will deploy. For your safety of all occupants, be sure to always wear seat belts.
The SRS airbags are not designed to inflate if the vehicle is subjected to a
side or rear impact, if it rolls over, or if
it is involved in a low-speed frontalcollision.The SRS airbag system mainly consists
of the following components and their
locations are shown in the illustration.
1. SRS airbag warning light.
2. Steering wheel pad (airbag and inflat- or)
3. Passenger airbag module (airbag and inflator)
4. Airbag sensor assembly.
The airbag sensor assembly consists of a
safing sensor and airbag sensor.

38
Do not put objects on or in front of
the dashboard or steering wheel
pad that houses the airbag sys-
tem. They might restrict inflation
or cause personal injury as they
are projected rearward.
Do not modify, remove or open
any component or wiring, such as
the steering wheel, column cover,
front passenger airbag cover,
front passenger airbag, airbag
sensor assembly. Doing any of
these may cause sudden SRS air-
bag inflation or disable the sys-
tem, which could result in person-
al injury.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in severe injuries.
NOTICE
Do not perform any of the following changes without consulting your
Toyota dealer. Such changes can interfere with proper operation ofthe SRS airbag system in some cases.
Installation of electronic itemssuch as a mobile two-way radio,
cassette tape player or compactdisc player
Modification of the suspension
system
Modification of the front endstructure
Attachment of a grille guard (bullbar, kangaroo bar, etc.), snow-
plow, winches or any other equip-
ment to the front end
Repairs made on or near the front end structure, console, steeringcolumn, steering wheel or dash-board near the front passenger
airbag
This SRS airbag system has a service re-
minder indicator to inf orm the driver of op-
erating problems. If either of the following
conditions occurs, this indicates a mal-
function of the airbags. Contact your To-
yota dealer as soon as possible to service
the vehicle. The light does not come on when the
ignition key is turned to the ACCº or
ONº position, or remains on.
The light comes on while driving.
