CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following.
Always make sure the heads, hands
and other parts of the bodies of all
occupants are kept completely in-
side the vehicle before you close
the power windows. If someone’s
neck, head or hands gets caught in
a closing window, it could result in
a serious injury. When anyone
closes the power windows, make
sure that he/she operates the win-
dows safely.
When small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the power
window switches without supervi-
sion. Use the window lock switch to
prevent them from making unex-
pected use of the switches.
Never leave small children alone in
the vehicle, especially with the igni-
tion key still inserted. They could
use the power window switches and
get trapped in a window. Unat-
tended children can be involved in
serious accidents.
To open the trunk lid from the outside,
insert the master key and turn it clock-
wise.
See “Luggage stowage precautions” in
Section 2 for precautions in loading lug-
gage.
To close the trunk lid, lower it and press
down on it. After closing the trunk lid, try
pulling it up to make sure it is securely
closed.
CAUTION
Keep the trunk lid closed while driv-
ing. This not only keeps the luggage
from being thrown out but also pre-
vents exhaust gases from entering
the vehicle.

(A) FOLDING DOWN REAR SEAT1. To unlock the seatback, pull the le- ver in the trunk.2. Fold down the seatback.
Each seatback may be folded separately.
On vehicles with built in child restraint
system, only the left seatback can be
folded down.
This will enlarge the trunk as far as the
seatbacks. See “ Luggage stowage precau-
tions” in Section 2 for precautions in load-
ing 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, observe the follow-
ing in order to prevent personal inju-
ry in a collision or sudden stop:
Make sure the seatback is securely
locked by pushing forward and rear-
ward on the top of the seatback.
Failure to do so will prevent the
seat belt from operating properly.
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.

Before returning the seatback to the
upright position, make sure to correctly
connect the center seat belt for ready
use.
Insert tab 1 (light gray) into the buckle
with light gray buckle release button.
You will hear a click when the tab locks
into the buckle.
CAUTION
Be careful not to mix up the proper
match of tab and buckle. Do not
insert tab 1 (light gray) into other
buckle than the one with light gray
buckle release button. (See “Seat
belts” in this section for proper
matching of the buckles and tabs.)
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.
Make sure the belt is not twisted or
caught in the seatback and that it
is arranged in the proper position
for ready use.
If the seat belt does not function
normally, immediately contact your
Toyota dealer.
