CAUTION!
Before driving, be sure that the
doors are closed and locked, espe-
cially when small children are in the
vehicle. Along with the proper use of
seat belts, locking the doors helps
prevent the driver and passengers
from being thrown out from the ve-
hicle during an accident. It also
helps prevent the doors from being
opened unintentionally.
LOCKING WITH REAR DOOR CHILD-
PROTECTORS
Turn the lock knob to the LOCKº
position as shown on the label.
This feature allows you to lock a rear door
so it can be opened from the outside only,
not from inside. We recommend using this
feature whenever small children are in the
vehicle.The windows can be operated with the
switch on each side door.
The power windows work when the igni-
tion switch is in the ONº position. Howev-
er, if both front doors are closed, they work
for 60 seconds even after the ignition
switch is turned off. They stop working
when either front door is opened.
OPERATING THE DRIVER'S WINDOW
Use the switch on the driver's door.
Normal operation: The window moves
as long as you hold the switch.
To open: Lightly push down the switch.
To close: Pull up the switch.

Make sure the cap is tightened se-
curely to prevent fuel spillage in

To open the moon roof, push the
switch on the SLIDEº side. Pushing
on the opposite side will close it. To tilt
up the rear end of the moon roof, push
the switch on the UPº side. Pushing
on the opposite side will lower it.
The moon roof works when the ignition
switch is in the ONº position. However, if
both front doors are closed, it works for 60
seconds even after the ignition switch is
turned off. It stops working when either
front door is opened.
The moon roof will move while the switch
is being pushed and stop when released.
However, as a precaution when closing, it
stops at the three-quarters closed posi-
tion before fully closing. Therefore, re-
lease the switch and then push it again to
close it completely.
You may open the moon roof to any de-
sired position.
The sun shade can be opened or closed
manually. However, if you open the moon
roof, the sun shade will be opened togeth-
er with the moon roof.

CAUTION!
To avoid serious personal injury,
you must do the following.
While the vehicle is moving, al-
ways keep the head, hands and
other parts of the body of all occu-
pants away from the roof opening.
Otherwise, you could be seriously
injured if the vehicle stops sud-
denly or if the vehicle is involved
in an accident.
Always make sure nobody places
his/her head, hands and other
parts of the body in the roof open-
ing before you close the roof. If
someone's neck, head or hands
gets caught in the closing roof, it
could result in a serious injury.
When anyone closes the roof, first
make sure it is safe to do so.
Never leave small children alone
in the vehicle, especially with the
ignition key still inserted. They
could use the moon roof switches
and get trapped in the roof open-
ing. Unattended children can be-
come involved in serious acci-
dents.
Never sit on top of the vehicle
around the roof opening.

After inserting the tab, make sure
the tab and buckle are locked and
that the seat belt extender is not
twisted.
Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in
the buckle as this may prevent you
from properly latching the tab and
buckle.
If the seat belt does not function
normally, immediately contact
your Toyota dealer.
CAUTION!
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 seat
belts.
In response to a severe frontal impact, the
SRS airbags work together with the seat
belts 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 front
seat.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 front airbag sensors, center
airbag sensor assembly, inflators, warn-
ing light, interconnecting wiring and power
sources.
