WHEN RETURNING THE SECOND SEAT
If you cannot raise the seatback be-
cause of the locked seat belt, do not
try it hard. Release the lock of the seat
belt in the following way. Push in the
lower front edge of the seatback cush-
ion to slacken the seat belt (1) and let
the seat belt retract a little (2).
CAUTION
When returning seats to their original
position, observe the following pre-
cautions in order to prevent personal
injury in a collision or sudden stop:
Make sure the seat is securely
locked by pushing forward and
rearward on the top of the seat-
back and by trying to pull up
the edge of the bottom cushion.
Failure to do so will prevent seat
belt from operating 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.

SEATBACK ANGLE ADJUSTING LEVER
Lean forward and pull the lever toward
you. Then lean back to the desired
angle and release the lever.CAUTION
To reduce the risk of sliding un-
der the lap belt during a colli-
sion, avoid reclining the seat-
back any more than needed. The
seat belts provide maximum
protection in a frontal or rear
collision when the third seat pas-
sengers are sitting up straight
and well back in the seats. If
you are reclined, the lap belt
may slide past your hips and ap-
ply restraint forces directly to
the abdomen. Therefore, in the
event of a frontal collision, the
more the seat is reclined, the
greater the risk of personal inju-
ry.
Do not adjust the seat while the
vehicle is moving.
After adjusting the seatback,
push your body back against the
seat to make sure the seat is
locked in 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.

straint so that it is closest to the
top of your ears.
After adjusting the head re-
straint, make sure it is locked in
position.
Do not drive with the head re-
straints removed.

To turn on the seat heater, push the
switch to “HI” (high heating tempera-
ture) or “LO” (low heating temperature).
To turn off the seat heater, push the
switch lightly on the opposite side.
The key must be in the “ON” position.
CAUTION
Occupants must use caution when op-
erating the seat heater because it
may make them feel too hot or cause

persons, sick persons or handi-
capped persons

Ta bBuckle
Adjust the seat as needed and sit up
straight and well back in the seat. To
fasten your belt, pull it out of the re-
tractor and insert the tab into the
buckle.
You will hear a click when the tab locks
into the buckle.
The seat belt length automatically adjusts
to your size and the seat position.
The retractor will lock the belt during a
sudden stop or on impact. It also may
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A
slow easy motion will allow the belt to
extend, and you can move around freely. When the shoulder belt is completely ex-
tended and is then retracted even slightly,
the belt is locked in that position and
cannot be extended. This feature is used
to hold the child restraint system securely.
(For details, see “Child restraint” on page
79.) To free the belt again, fully retract
the belt and then pull the belt out once
more.
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.
CAUTION
After inserting the tab, make
sure the tab and buckle are
locked and that the lap and
shoulder portions of the belt are
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, because it cannot protect
an adult occupant or your child
from injury.
