with the key operation in the driver’s door
keyhole.

the door key linked operation for tilting
operation. For details, contact your Toyota
dealer.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.
To prevent inadvertent moon roof
operation, never let a small child
have and use the wireless remote
control key.

Front passenger seat
CAUTION
The SRS front passenger airbag also
deploys with considerable force, and
can cause death or serious injury es-
pecially if the front passenger is very
close to the airbag. The front passen-
ger seat should be as far from the
airbag as possible with the seatback
adjusted, so the front passenger sits
upright.
CAUTION
The SRS side airbags are installed in
the driver and front passenger seats.
Observe the following precautions.
Do not lean against the front door
when the vehicle is in use, since
the side airbag inflates with consid-
erable speed and force. Otherwise,
you may be killed or seriously in-
jured.
Do not use seat accessories which
cover the area where the side air-
bags inflate. Such accessories may
prevent the side airbags from acti-
vating correctly, causing death or
serious injury.
Do not modify or replace the seats
or upholstery of front seats with
side airbags. Such changes may
prevent the side airbags from acti-
vating correctly, disable the system
or cause the side airbags to inflate
accidentally, resulting in death or
serious injury.
CAUTION
Adjustments should not be made
while the vehicle is moving, as the
seat may unexpectedly move and
cause the driver to lose control of
the vehicle.
When adjusting the seat, be careful
that the seat does not hit a passen-
ger or luggage.
After adjusting the seat position, re-
lease the lever and try sliding the
seat forward and backward to make
sure it is locked in position.
After adjusting the seatback, push
your body back against the seat to
make sure the seat is locked in
position.
Do not put objects under the seats.
Otherwise, the objects may interfere
with the seatlock mechanism or
unexpectedly push up the seat posi-
tion adjusting lever and the seat
may suddenly move, causing the
driver to lose control of the vehicle.

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 maxi-
mum protection in a frontal or rear
collision when the driver and the pas-
senger are sitting up straight and
well back in the seats. If you are
reclined, the lap belt may slide past
your hips and apply restraint forces
directly to the abdomen. In the event
of a frontal collision, the more the
seat is reclined, the greater the risk
of personal injury.
3. SEAT LUMBAR SUPPORTADJUSTING SWITCH
Push the control switch in the desired
direction.
The amount of lumber support will change
while the switch is pushed.
CAUTION
Adjustment should not be made
while the vehicle is moving.
When adjusting the seat, be careful
not to hit the seat against a pas-
senger or luggage.
Third seats only: Adjust both seat
cushions to the same position and
align both seatbacks at the same
angle when a person sits in the
third seat center position. Other-
wise, the person cannot wear the
seat belt properly and this may
cause serious injuries in a collision.
When folding up the third seats, do
not fold down or up the second
seats.
After adjusting the seat position, re-
lease the lever and try sliding the
seat forward and backward to make
sure it is lock in position.
After adjusting the seatback, push
your body back against the seat to
make sure the seat is locked in
position.
Do not allow sitting on top of a
foldeddown seatback, or in the
luggage compartment while driving.
Persons not properly seated and/or
properly restrained by seat belts
can be severely injured in the event
of emergency braking or a collision.
Do not operate any equipment in
the luggage compartment while
driving. People not properly seated
and/or properly restrained by seat
belts can be severely injured in the
event of emergency braking or a
collision.
Do not load luggage with only the
seatback folded down. Do not fail
to swing the whole seat up in such
a case. Luggage sliding forward
during braking may cause an acci-
dent or severe injury.

When returning seats to their origi-
nal position, observe the following
precautions in order to prevent per-
sonal injury in a collision or sud-
den stop:
Be careful not to get your hands or
feet pinched in the seat.
Make sure the seat is securely
locked by pushing forward and rear-
ward on the top of the seatback or
by trying to pull up the edge of the
bottom cushion. Failure to do so
will prevent the seat belt from oper-
ating properly.
Make sure the seat belts are not
twisted or caught under the seat
and are arranged in their proper
position and are ready to use.
Folding the seats up will enlarge the lug-
gage compartment. See “Luggage stowage
precautions” on page 292 in Section 2 for
precautions when loading luggage.
SEATBACK ANGLE ADJUSTING LEVER
Lean forward and pull the lever up.
Then lean back to the desired angle
and release the lever.
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 maxi-
mum protection in a frontal or rear
collision when the passengers are sit-
ting up straight and well back in the
seats. If you are reclined, the lap belt
may slide past your hips and apply
restraint forces directly to the abdo-
men. In the event of a frontal colli-
sion, the more the seat is reclined,
the greater the risk of personal injury.

From rear1. SEAT POSITION ADJUSTING LEVER
From front—
Hold the center of the lever and pull it
up. Then slide the seat to the desired
position with slight body pressure and
release the lever.
From rear—
Pull the lever up. Then slide the seat
to the desired position and release the
lever.
When a person sits in the third seat
center position, adjust both seat cush-
ions to the same position.
Do not place anything under the seats. It
might interfere with the seatlock mecha-
nism.
2. SEATBACK ANGLE ADJUSTING LEVER
From front—
Lean forward and pull the lever toward
you. Then lean back to the desired
angle and release the lever.
From rear—
Push down the lever. Push the seatback
forward or pull it backward to the de-
sired angle and release the lever. When a person sits in the third seat
center position, align both seatbacks at
the same angle.
CAUTION
Adjust both seat cushions to the
same position and align both seat-
backs at the same angle when a
person sits in the third seat center
position. Otherwise, the person can-
not wear the seat belt properly and
this may cause serious injuries in
a collision.
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 in a
frontal or rear collision when the
passengers are sitting up straight
and well back in the seats. If you
are reclined, the lap belt may slide
past your hips and apply restraint
forces directly to the abdomen. In
the event of a frontal collision, the
more the seat is reclined, the great-
er the risk of personal injury.
