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 pas-
sengers from being thrown out
from the vehicle during an acci-
dent. It also helps prevent the doors
from being opened unintentionally.
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 side doors are closed, they work
for 60 seconds even after the ignition
switch is turned off. They stop working
when either side 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 pull down the switch.
To close: Push up the switch.Automatic operation (to open only):
Pull the switch completely down and then
release it. The window will fully open. To
stop the window partway, lightly push the switch up and then release it.

While the vehicle is being driven, all ve-
hicle
occupants should have the seatback
upright, sit well back in the seat and prop-
erly wear the seat belts provided.
CAUTION
Do not drive with the vehicle occu- pants not properly seated, such as
sitting on top of a folded-down seatback, or in the luggage
compartment. Persons not proper-
ly seated and restrained by seat
belts can be severely injured in the event of emergency braking or a collision.
During driving, do not let passen- gers stand up or move around be-
tween seats. Balance can be un-
steady and severe injuries can oc-
cur in the event of emergency brak-
ing or a collision.! Adjust the driver's seat so that the foot
pedals, steering wheel and instrument
panel
controls are within easy reach of the
driver.CAUTION
Adjustments should not be made
while the vehicle is moving, as the
seat may unexpectedly move and
cause the driver to lose control of
the vehicle.
When adjusting the seat, be carefulnot to hit the seat against a passen-
ger, luggage or rear seat.
After adjusting the seat position, try sliding it forward and backward
to make sure it is locked in posi- tion.
After adjusting the seatback, exert
body pressure to make sure it is
locked in position.
Do not put objects under the seats
as they may interfere with the seat-
lock mechanism or unexpectedly
push up the seat position adjusting
lever; the seat may suddenly move,
causing the driver to lose control of
the vehicle.
While adjusting the seat, do not put
your hands under the seat or near
the moving parts. You may jam
your hands or fingers.!

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.
Baby or
small child. Use a child restraint
system which fits your vehicle. See Child
restraintº for details.Child. If a child is too large for a child re-
straint 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. Do not allow the child to stand up or
kneel on either rear or front seats. If the
shoulder belt falls across the child's neck
or face, have the child sit slightly closer to the center of the vehicle so that the belt
lays across the shoulder.
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.
Injured person. Toyota recommends the
use of a seat belt. Depending on the injury,
however, first check with your doctor.
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 in the
event of s udden braking or a collision.
When using the seat belts, observe the following: Use the belt for only one person at
a time. Do not use a single belt for
two or more peopleÐeven children.
Avoid reclining the seatbacks too
much. The seat belts provide max-
imum protection when the seat- backs are in the upright position.
(See the seat adjustment instruc- tions.)
Be careful not to damage the belt
webbing or hardware. Take care
that they do not get caught or
pinched in the seat or doors.
Inspect the belt system periodical-
ly. Check for cuts, fraying, and
loose parts. Damaged parts
should be replaced. Do not disas-
semble or modify the system. Keep the belts clean and dry. If they
need cleaning, use a mild soap
solution or lukewarm water. Never
use bleach, dye, or abrasive clean-
ersÐthey may severely weaken the
belts.
Replace the belt assembly (includ-
ing bolts) if it has been used in a se-
vere impact. The entire assembly
should be replaced even if damage
is not obvious.
Seat beltsÐ ÐSeat belt precautions

26
Adjust the seat as needed (front seats only) and sit up straight and well back
in the seat. To fasten your belt, pull it
out of the retractor and insert the tab
into the buckle.
You will hear a click when the tab locks into the buckle.
The seat belt length automatically adjusts
to you size and the seat position.
The retractor will lock the belt during a
sudden stop or on impact. It also may lock
if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to extend,
and you can move around freely. 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.
Adjust the position of the lap and
shoulder belts. Position the lap belt as low as possible on
your hipsÐnot on your waist, then adjust
it to a snug fit by pulling the shoulder por- tion upward through the latch plate.
CAUTION!
High-positioned lap belts and
loose-fitting belts both could in-
crease the chance of injury due to
sliding under the lap belt during
an accident. Keep the lap belt as
low on your hip bone as possible.
For your safety, do not place the
shoulder belt under your arm.
ÐSeat belts

CAUTION!
The SRS airbag system is de-
signed only as a supplement to
the primary protection of the seat
belt systems of the driver and
front passenger. The front seat
occupants are particularly sus-
ceptible to injury if they do not wear their seat belts; when sud-
den braking or a collision occurs,
they may be thrown forward. To
obtain further protection in an ac-
cident, the driver and all passen- gers in the vehicle should always wear their seat belts when driving.
For instructions and precautions
concerning the seat belt systems,
see Seat beltsº in this chapter.
A baby or small child who is too
small to use a seat belt should be
properly secured in a rear seat us-
ing a child restraint system.
Do not use a rear-facing child re-
straint system in the front seat be-
cause the force of the rapid infla-tion of the passenger airbag may cause severe injury to the child.
Vehicles with a passenger airbag
display a caution label on the pas-
senger side instrument panel as
shown above to remind you not to
install a rear-facing child re-
straint system on the front seat. When using a forward-facing
child restraint system in the front
seat, the seat must be moved as
far back as possible. For instruc-
tions concerning the installation
of a child restraint system, see
Child restraintº in this chapter.

32
Do not sit on the edge of the seat or
lean over the dashboard when the
vehicle is in use. The airbags in-
flate with considerable speed and
force; you may be severely injured.
Sit up straight and well back in the seat, and always use your seat belt.Do not allow a child to stand up, or
to kneel on the front passenger seat. The airbag inflates with con-
siderable speed and force; the
child may be severely injured.
Do not hold a child on your lap orin your arms. Use a child restraint
system in the rear seat. For instruc-
tions concerning the installation of
a child restraint system, see Child
restraintº in this chapter. 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 w heel column cover, front
passenger airbag cover, front pas-
senger airbag, center airbag sen-
sor assembly or front airbag sen-
sors. 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.

34Toyota strongly urges the use of child re-
straint systems for children small enough
to use them.
The laws of all fifty states in the U.S.A.
and Canada now require the use of a child
restraint system.
CAUTION!
For effective protection in automo-
bile accidents and sudden stops,
children must be properly re-
strained. 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 if you are unrestrained. A child restraint system for a small
child or baby must itself be restrained
on the seat with the lap portion of thelap/shoulder belt.
The child restraint system should conform
to the size of the child and properly fit the
vehicle seat. For greater safety, the child
restraint
system should be installed in the
rear seat. According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly re-strained in the rear seat than in the frontseat. When installing a child restraint system,
follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the system. General di- rections are also provided under the fol-
lowing illustrations.
CAUTION!
After installing the child restraint system, make sure it is secured in
place. If it is not restrained secure-
ly, it may cause injury to the child
in the event of a sudden stop or ac-cident.
When not using the child restraint system, keep it secured with the seat belt or place
it somewhere other than in passenger
compartment. This will prevent it injuringpassengers in the event of a sudden stop or accident. Your vehicle has anchors for securing the
top strap of a child restraint system. The
anchor
nuts are welded beneath the sheet
metal to permit installation of an anchor
bracket for a child restraint system.
To install an anchor bracket, use an 8 mm
X 30 mm X 1.25 mm coarse thread metric
bolt and a 5mm (0.2 in.) spacer. Note that
the bolts accompanying many child re-
straint systems are not metric. You can
damage the anchor nuts on your vehicle
if you force bolts with different thread intothe anchor nuts.
For instructions about how to install the
anchor bracket, see (B) TOP STRAP
ANCHORS AND LOCATIONSº.
If your child restraint system does not pro-
vide any of the necessary parts, you can
purchase the following items from your
Toyota dealer. * CRS installation kit
(Part No. 04731-22012) Ðcontains 1 bolt, 3 types of spacers and 1 locking clip.
* Bolt (Part No. 91511-60830)

(A) INSTALLATION ON REAR SEAT
When installing a rear-facing child re-
straint system, follow the same procedure
as when installing a forward-facing child
restraint system.
CAUTION!
Do not use a rear-facing child re-
straint system in the rear seat if it in-
terferes with the lock mechanism of
the front seats. This may cause se-
vere injury to the child and front
passenger in case of sudden brak-
ing or a collision.
1. Fasten the lap and shoulder belt over
the child restraint system following the in-
structions provided by its manufacturer.
Keep the lap portion of the belt tight.
CAUTION!
After inserting the tab, make sure
the tab and buckle are locked.
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, imm ediately contact your
Toyota dealer.
