CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following.

While the vehicle is moving, always
keep the heads, hands and other
parts of the bodies of all occupants
away from the roof opening. Other-
wise, they could be seriously in-
jured if the vehicle stops suddenly
or if the vehicle is involved in an
accident.

Before you close the moon roof,
always make sure there is nobody
around the moon roof. You must
also make sure nobody places his
or her head, hands and other parts
of the body in the roof opening. If
someone's neck, head or hands get
caught in the closing roof, it could
result in a serious injury. When
anyone closes the moon roof, first
make sure it is safe to do so.

Be sure to remove the ignition key
when you leave your vehicle.

Never leave anyone (particularly a
small child) alone in your vehicle,
especially with the ignition key still
inserted. Otherwise, he/she could
use the moon roof switches and get
trapped in the roof opening. Unat-
tended person (particularly a small
child) can be involved in a serious
accident.

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

Never try jamming any part of your
body to activate the jam protection
function intentionally.

The jam protection function may
not work if something gets caught
just before the window is fully
closed.

ing positions.
ªHIºÐHigh heating temperature

The key must be in the ªONº position to
operate seat heaters.
Pushing lightly on the opposite side will
turn it off.
CAUTION
Occupants must use caution when op-
erating the seat heater because it
may make them feel too hot or cause
burns at low temperatures (erythema,
varicella). Use extra caution for;

Babies, small children, elderly per-
sons, sick persons or persons with
physical disabilities

Persons who have delicate skin

Persons who are exhausted

Person who have taken alcohol or
drugs which induce sleep (sleeping
drug, cold remedy, etc.)
To prevent the seat overheating, do
not use the seat heater with a blan-
ket, cushion, or other insulating ob-
jects which cover the seat.
NOTICE

Do not put unevenly weighed ob-
jects on the seat and do not stick
sharp objects (needles, nails, etc.)
into the seat.

When cleaning the seats, do not
use organic substances (paint thin-
ner, benzine, alcohol, gasoline,
etc.). They may damage the heater
and seat surface.

This system can memorize the position
of the driver's seat and outside rear
view mirrors, and recall them at the
touch of a button.
Buttons ª1º and ª2º can memorize two
separate positions.
SETTING THE DRIVING POSITION
The key must be in the ªONº position and
the shift lever is in the ªPº position.
1. Adjust the driver 's seat and outside
rear view mirrors to the desired
position.
2. While pushing the ªSETº button,
push button ª1º or ª2º until a beep
is heard.
The system can memorize up to 2 posi-
tions by repeating the above steps. If step
2 is performed when both buttons ª1º and
ª2º are memorized, the previous position
will be erased and a new position will be
set.To make only slight changes to an already
memorized position, the easiest way is to
first activate the memorized position, then
make the desired changes and perform
step 2 above.

RECALLING THE MEMORIZED POSITION
When you push button ª1º or ª2º, a
beep will sound and the driving posi-
tion will be automatically adjusted to
the position recorded for that button.
The memorized position can be recalled
under the following conditions:

The ignition key is in the ªON position
and the shift lever is in the ªPº posi-
tion.

The key is not in the ignition switch
and less than 30 seconds have passed
since opening the driver 's door.To stop the operation, push any driving
position memory button.
To reactivate the system, push the button
ª1º or ª2º again.
If the vehicle's battery is disconnected,
the memory will be erased and the posi-
tions will have to be set again.
CAUTION

Do not start the vehicle while the
adjustment are being made.

Take care not to select the wrong
button, or the seat could strike the
rear passenger or hit your body
against the steering wheel. If this
happens, you can stop the move-
ment by pressing another driving
position memory switch, or de-
pressing the brake pedal.
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.
The seat belts provided for your vehicle
are designed for people of adult size,
large enough to properly wear them.
Child. Use a child restraint system ap-
propriate for the child until the child be-
comes large enough to properly wear the
vehicle's seat belts. See ªChild restraintº
on page 107 in this Section 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
accident occurs and the seat belts are not
worn properly, the force of the rapid infla-
tion of the airbag may cause death or
serious injury to the child.

CAUTION
Make sure the both buckles are cor-
rectly located and securely latched.
Failure to properly match the buckle
and tab may cause severe injury in
case of an accident or a collision.
To release the concave end tab, insert the
key into the hole on buckle 1 (with light
gray buckle±release button) and allow the
belt to retract.CAUTION
Do not use the center seat belt of the
third seats with either buckle re-
leased. Fastening only the shoulder
belt or lap belt may cause severe per-
sonal injury in case of sudden brak-
ing or a collision.

The seat belt pretensioners are controlled
by the airbag sensor assembly. The airbag
sensor assembly consists of a safing sen-
sor and airbag sensor.
When the seat belt pretensioners are acti-
vated, an operating noise may be heard
and a small amount of non±toxic gas may
be released. This does not indicate that
a fire is occurring. This gas is normally
harmless.
Once the seat belt pretensioners have
been activated, the seat belt retractors
remain locked.
CAUTION
Do not modify, remove, strike or open
the seat belt pretensioner assemblies,
airbag sensor or surrounding area or
wiring. Failure to follow these instruc-
tions may prevent the seat belt pre-
tensioners from activating correctly,
cause sudden operation of the system
or disable the system, which could
result in death or serious injury. Con-
sult your Toyota dealer about any re-
pair and modification.
NOTICE
Do not perform any of the following
changes without consulting your
Toyota dealer. Such changes can
interfere with proper operation of the
front seat belt pretensioners in some
cases.

Installation of electronic devices
such as a mobile two±way radio,
cassette tape player or compact
disc player

Repairs on or near the front seat
belt retractor assemblies

Modification of the suspension sys-
tem

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

Repairs made on or near the front
fenders, front end structure or con-
sole
This indicator comes on when the igni-
tion key is turned to the ªONº position.
It goes off after about 6 seconds. This
means the front seat belt pretensioners
are operating properly.

sors, curtain shield airbag sensors, driv-
er 's seat position sensor, driver 's seat belt
buckle switch, front passenger occupant
classification system and indicator light,
front passenger 's seat belt buckle switch,

surrounding area has been damaged.
In the following cases, contact your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible:

The front of the vehicle (shaded in the
illustration) was involved in an accident
that was not severe enough to cause
the seat belt pretensioners to operate.

Either seat belt pretensioner assembly
or surrounding area is scratched,
cracked, or otherwise damaged.
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) front airbags are designed to pro-
vide further protection for the driver
and front passenger in addition to the
primary safety protection provided by
the seat belts.
In response to a severe frontal impact,
the SRS front airbags work together with
the seat belts to help reduce injury by
inflating. The SRS front airbags help re-
duce injuries mainly to the driver's or front
passenger 's head or chest caused by hit-
ting the vehicle interior.
