ADJUSTING SEAT POSITION
Move the control switch to the desired direction. Releasing the switch will stop the move in
that position.
Do not place anything under the front
seats. It might interfere with the seat movement.
ADJUSTING SEATBACK ANGLE
Move the control switch to the desired direction. Releasing the switch will stop the move in
that position.
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 provide maximum 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 for- mal collision, the risk of personal in-
jury may increase with increasing re-
cline of the seatback. ADJUSTING SEAT CUSHION ANGLE
AND HEIGHT
Move the control switch to the desired direction. Releasing the switch will stop the move in
that position.
ADJUSTING
DRIVER'S SEAT LUMBER
SUPPORT

the porcedure to return them. Be sure to
follow every indicated step exactly.
CAUTION!
Any operations should not be made while the vehicle is moving.
When fastening the holding strap
to secure the seat, adjust the strap
length so that the seat will not
swing back (1)
When retruning seats to their origi-
nal position: Make sure the seat belts are not twisted or caught under the seat and are arranged in their proper position for ready use. Make sure the seat is securely locked by pushing forward and
rearward on the top of the seatback

the bottom cushion.

CAUTION!
Adjust the top of the head restraint
so that it is closest to the top of
your ears.
After adjusting the head restraint,
make sure it is locked in position.
Do not drive with the head re-
straints removed. 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 the injury in accidents. Child.
Use the child restraint system ap-
propriate for the child until the child be-
comes large enough to properly wear the
vehicle's seat belts. See Child restraintº
for details.
If a child is too large for a child restraint
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.
If a child must sit in the front seat, the seat
belts should be worn properly. If an acci- dent occurs and the seat belts are not
worn properly, the force of the rapid infla-
tion of the airbag may cause serious injury
to the child.
Do not allow the child to stand up or kneel
on either rear or front seats. An unre-
strained child could suffer serious injury
during emergency braking or a collision.
Also do not let the child sit on your lap. It
does not provide sufficient restraint. If the shoulder belt falls across the child's neck or face, move the child to the center
position and use the center lap belt.
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
