SEAT AND SEAT BELTS
Lap belts*
The lap belts should be adjusted by hold-
ing the belt and latch plate at right angles
to each other, and then pulling the belt as
shown in the illustration to a snug fit
around the occupant.
1 - Tighten
2 - Loosen
While holding the latch plate, insert the
latch plate into the buckle until a “click” is
heard.
NOTE
The buckle and latch plate of the centre
lap belt are marked with “CENTER”.
Be sure to check the marking before wear-
ing the centre lap belt.
Child restraintEG28BPUd
When transporting children in your vehi-
cle, some type of child restraint system
should be used according to the size of
the child. This is required by law in most
countries.
The regulations concerning driving with
children in the front seat may differ from
country to country. You are advised to
comply with the relevant regulations.
WARNING(1) When possible, put children in
the rear seat. Accident statistics
indicate that children of all sizes
and ages are safer when prop-
erly restrained in the rear seat
rather than in the front seat.
(Double cab, Club cab)
(2) Holding a child in your arms is
no substitute for a restraint sys-
tem. Failure to use a proper
restraint system can result in se-
vere or fatal injury to your child.
(3) Each restraint device or fixing is
to be used only by one child.
Adjustable seat belt anchor*
(front seats)
EG08C-Ca
The seat belt anchor height can be ad-
justed.
Move the seat belt anchor down with the
lock knob (A) depressed. To move the an-
chor up, slide it without depressing the
lock knob (A).
CAUTIONWhen adjusting the seat belt anchor,
set it at a position that is sufficiently
high so that the belt will make full
contact with your shoulder but will
not touch your neck.

out well. Using this cloth, wipe off the
detergent thoroughly.
3. Apply leather protecting agent to the
genuine leather surface.
NOTE
(1) If genuine leather is wet with water or
is washed in water, wipe off water as
quickly as possible with a dry, soft
cloth.
(2) Slight stains on genuine leather may
be removed with leather cleaner as
well.
(3) The genuine leather surface may be
damaged if a nylon brush or synthetic
fibre is rubbed hard against it.
(4) Organic solvents such as benzine, al-
cohol and gasoline, acid or alkaline
solvents may discolor the genuine
leather surface. Be sure to use neu-
tral detergents.
(5) The genuine leather surface may
harden and shrink if it is exposed to
direct rays of the sun for long hours.
When your vehicle is parked, place it
in the shade as much as possible.
UpholsteryEK25A-Aa
1. To maintain the value of your new
vehicle, handle the upholstery care-
fully and keep the interior clean.
Use a vacuum cleaner and brush to
clean the seats. If stained, vinyl and
synthetic leather should be cleaned
with an appropriate cleaner, and cloth
fabrics can be cleaned with either up-
holstery cleaner or a 3% solution of
neutral detergent in lukewarm water.
2. Clean the carpeting with a vacuum
cleaner and remove any stains with
carpet cleaner. Oil and grease can be
removed by lightly dabbing with a
clean colourfast cloth and stain re-
mover.
