the starter circuit under the following
conditions:

If any of the doors is unlocked or if
the trunk or hood is forcibly opened

and then reconnected
After one minute, the alarm will automati-
cally stop with the starter circuit cut kept

the alarm each time all the doors, trunk
and hood are closed after the alarm
stops.

the following conditions:

If any of the doors, trunk or hood is
opened

and then reconnectedStopping the alarm
Turn the ignition key from the ºLOCKº to
ºONº position. The alarm will be stopped
with the starter circuit cut kept on. Stop-
ping the alarm in this manner will keep
the alarm from being reactivated when any
of the doors, trunk or hood is opened.
Interrupting the setting

the doors and hood may be opened in
addition. However, when the battery termi-

the system is activated.
To resume the setting, close and lock all
the doors, trunk and hood. The trunk must
be closed with the key removed.

wireless remote control transmitter. This
cancels the system completely and the
starter circuit cut will be cancelled at

TESTING THE SYSTEM
1. Open all the windows.
2. Set the system as described above.
The doors should be locked with the
key or wireless remote control transmit-
ter. Be sure to wait until the indicator
light starts flashing.
3. Unlock any door from the inside. The
system should activate the alarm.
4. Cancel the system by unlocking any of
the doors with the key or wireless re-
mote control transmitter.
5. Repeat this operation for the other
doors, trunk and hood. When testing on
the hood, also check that the system
is activated when the battery terminal
is disconnected and then reconnected.
If the system does not work properly,
have it checked by your Toyota dealer.
Fuel tank cap
1. To open the fuel filler door, pull the
lever up.
When refueling, turn off the engine.
CAUTION

Do not smoke, cause sparks or al-
low open flames when refueling.
The fumes are flammable.

When opening the cap, do not re-
move the cap quickly. In hot weath-
er, fuel under pressure could cause
injury by spraying out of the filler
neck if the cap is suddenly re-
moved.
2. To remove the fuel tank cap, turn
the cap slowly counterclockwise,
then pause slightly before removing
it. After removing the cap, hang it
on the cap hanger.
It is not unusual to hear a slight swoosh
when the cap is opened. When installing,
turn the cap clockwise till you hear a
click.
If the cap is not tightened securely, the
malfunction indicator lamp comes on.
Make sure the cap is tightened securely.

2. Fold down the seatback.
Each seatback may be folded separately.
On vehicles with built- in child restraint,
only the left seatback can be folded down.
This will enlarge the trunk as far as the
seatbacks. See ºLuggage stowage precau-
tionsº in Part 2 for precautions to observe
for loading luggage.
NOTICE
Make sure the luggage loaded in the
enlarged trunk will not damage the
webbing of the rear center seat belt
when the left seatback is folded
down.
CAUTION
When returning the seatback to the
upright position:

Make sure the seat belts are not
twisted or caught in the seatback
and are arranged in the proper
position and are ready to use.

Make sure the seatback is securely
locked by pushing forward and rear-
ward on the top of the seatback.
(B) PREVENTING DAMAGE TO REAR
CENTER SEAT BELT WEBBING
When folding down the left seatback, if
the luggage loaded in the enlarged
trunk will damage the webbing of the
rear center seat belt, disconnect the
rear center seat belt to prevent damage.
Insert the key into the hole (light gray)
on the buckle to release tab 1 (light
gray), and allow the belt to retract.

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 or other unintended result.
Keep the lap belt as low on your
hips as possible.

For your safety, do not place the
shoulder belt under your arm.
To release the belt, press the buckle- re-
lease button and allow the belt to re-
tract.
If the belt does not retract smoothly, pull
it out and check for kinks or twists. Then
make sure it remains untwisted as it re-
tracts.REAR CENTER SEAT BELT (WITH
FOLD- DOWN SEAT)
The rear center seat belt is a 3- point type
restraint with 2 buckles. Both seat belt
buckles must be correctly located and se-
curely latched for proper operation
Make sure the buckle 1 (with light gray
buckle- release button) is securely latched
for ready use of the center seat belt.
The buckle 1 should be separated only
when the rear left seatback is folded
down, if the luggage loaded in the en-
larged trunk will damage the webbing of
the rear center seat belt. (See ºFold- down
rear seatº in this chapter for the instruc-
tion of how to correctly connect the seat
belt.)

Unless it is unavoidable, do not put
a forward- facing child restraint sys-
tem on the front seat.

A forward- facing child restraint sys-
tem should be allowed to put on
the front seat only when it is un-
avoidable. Always move the seat as
far back as possible, because the
force of a deploying airbag could
cause death or serious injury to the
child. On vehicles with side airbags,
do not allow the child to lean
against the front door or around
the front door even if the child is
seated in the child restraint system.
It is dangerous if the side airbag
inflates, and the impact could cause
death or serious injury to the child.

After installing the child restraint
system, make sure it is secured in
place following the manufacturer 's
instructions. If it is not restrained
securely, it may cause death or se-
rious injury to the child in the
event of a sudden stop or accident.
When not using the child restraint system,
keep it secured with the seat belt or place
it in the trunk or somewhere other than
the passenger compartment. This will pre-
vent it from injuring passengers 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
30 mm 1.25 mm coarse thread met-
ric bolt and 15 mm (0.6 in.) spacer. Note
that the bolts accompanying many child
restraint systems are not metric. You can
damage the anchor nuts on your vehicle
if you force bolts with different thread into
the anchor nuts.
For instructions about how to install the
anchor bracket, see ºTop strap anchors
and locationsº.If your child restraint system does not
provide any of the necessary parts, you
can purchase the following items from
your Toyota dealer.

(Part No. 04731- 22012)Ðcontains 1
bolt, 3 types of spacers and 1 locking
clip.
