Your vehicle has a wireless remote
control system that can lock or unlock
all the side doors and back door from a
distance within approximately 1 m (3
ft.) of the vehicle.
LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE SIDE
DOORS AND BACK DOOR
To lock and unlock all the side doors
and back door, push the switches slow-
ly and securely. At this time, the indica-
tor light on the key grip flashes once.
To lock: Push the ”LOCK” switch. All the
side doors and back door are locked si-
multaneously. At this time, parking lights
and tail lights flash once.
Check to see that all the side doors and
back door are securely locked.
If any of the side doors or back door is
not securely closed, or if the key is  in the
ignition switch, locking cannot be per-
formed by the ”LOCK” switch.
To unlock: Push the ”UNLOCK” switch
once to unlock  the driver ’s  door alone.
Pushing the switch twice within 3 seconds
unlocks all the side doors and back door
simultaneously. At this time, parking lights
and tail lights flash twice.Together with the activation of unlocking,
the interior light comes on for 15 seconds
if the interior light switch is  in “DOOR”
position. However,  this function does not
work when the ignition key  is in the “ON”
position. (For detailed information, see “In-
terior light” in Section 1 4.)
You have 30 seconds  to open a door after
using the wireless remote unlock feature.
If a door is not opened by then, all the
side doors and back door will be automati-
cally locked again.
If the ”LOCK” or ”UNLOCK” switch is kept
pressed in, the locking or unlocking opera-
tion is not repeated. Release the button
and then push again.
”PANIC” SWITCH
Pushing the ”PANIC” switch for 1 sec-
ond blows the horn intermittently and
flashes the headlights and tail lights.
The ”PANIC” switch is used to deter ve-
hicle theft when you witness anyone at-
tempting to break  into or damage your
vehicle.
The alarm will last for 1 minute. To stop
the alarm midway, push the ”PANIC” or
”UNLOCK” switch, or unlock any side door
or back door with key. You can also stop
the alarm by turning the ignition key from
”LOCK” to the ”ON” position.

For your safety and comfort, adjust the
head restraint before driving.
To raise: Pull it up.
To lower: Push it down while pressing the
lock release button.
Front head restraint only—You can also
move the head restraint forward or back-
ward. If such adjustment is desired, pull
or push the head restraint.
Rear center head restraint—When an oc-
cupant sits on the rear center  seat, al-
ways pull up the rear center head re-
straint to the lock position.
The head restraint  is most effective when
it is close to your head. Therefore, using
a cushion on the seatback is not recom-
mended.
CAUTION
Adjust the center of the head re-
straint 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.

switch to ”HI” (high heating tempera-
ture) or ”LO” (low heating temperature).
The key must be in the ”ON” position.
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 handicapped
persons
Persons who have delicate skin
Persons who are exhausted
Persons who have taken alcohol or
drugs which induce sleep (sleeping
drug, cold remedy, etc.)
To prevent the seat  from overheating,
do not use the seat heater with a
blanket, cushion, or other insulating
objects which cover the seat.

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
position and cannot be extended. This fea-
ture is used to hold the child restraint
system securely. (For details, see ”Child
restraint” in this section.) 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 and
buckle.
If the seat belt does not function
normally, immediately contact your
Toyota dealer. Do not use the seat
until the seat belt is fixed. It cannot
protect an adult occupant or your
child from injury.
Seat belts with an adjustable shoulder
anchor—
Adjust the shoulder anchor position to
your size.
To raise: Slide the anchor up.
To lower: Push in the lock  release button
and slide the anchor down.
After adjustment, make sure the anchor is
locked in position.
CAUTION
Always make sure the shoulder belt
is positioned across the center of
your shoulder. The belt should be
kept away from your neck, but not
falling off your shoulder. Failure to
do so could reduce the amount of
protection in an accident and cause
serious injuries in a collision.

Adjust the position of the lap and
shoulder belts.
Position the lap belt as low as possible
on your hips–not on your waist, then ad-
just it to a snug fit by pulling the shoulder
portion upward through the latch plate.
CAUTION
Both high positioned lap belts and
loose fitting  belts could cause seri-
ous injuries due to sliding under the
lap belt during a collision or other
unintended result. Keep the lap belt
positioned as low on hips as pos-
sible.
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.
