To open the sun roof, push the switch
on the SLIDEº side. Pushing on the
opposite side will close it. To tilt up the
rear end of the sun roof, push the
switch on the UPº side. Pushing on
the opposite side will lower it.
The ignition key must be in the ONº
position.
The sun 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 sun roof to any desired
position.
CAUTION!
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following.

While the vehicle is moving, always
keep the head, hands and other
parts of the body of all occupants
away from the roof opening. Other-
wise, you could be seriously injured
if the vehicle stops suddenly 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 igni -
tion key still inserted. They could
use the sun roof switches and get
trapped in the roof opening. Unat-
tended children can become in -
volved in serious accidents.

Never sit on top of the vehicle
around the roof opening.

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 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.

Do not put objects on or in front of
the dashboard or steering wheel
pad that houses the airbag system.

component or wiring, such as the
steering wheel, column cover, front
passenger airbag cover, front pas-
senger airbag or airbag sensor as-
sembly. Doing any of these may
cause sudden SRS airbag inflation
or disable the system, which could
result in personal injury.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in severe injuries.
Do not perform any of the following
changes without consulting your
Toyota dealer. Such changes can
interfere with proper operation of the
SRS airbag system in some cases.
Installation of electronic items

system
Modification of the front end struc-
ture
Attachment of a grille guard (bull
bar, kangaroo bar, etc.), snowplow,
winches or any other equipment to
the front end

sole, steering column, steering
wheel or dashboard near the front
passenger airbag

ther protection to the driver when add-
ed to the primary protection provided
