Important information about your Toyota
Occupant restraint systems
Toyota encourages you and your family to take the time
to read Section 1−3 of this Owner’s Manual carefully. In
terms of helping you understand how you can receive
the maximum benefit of the occupant restraint systems
this vehicle provides, Section 1 −3 of this Owner’s Manu-
al is the most important section for you and your family
to read.
Section 1 −3 describes the function and operation con-
cerning seats, seat belts, SRS airbags and child re-
straint systems of this vehicle and some potential haz-
ards you should be aware of. These systems work to-
gether along with the overall structure of this vehicle in
order to provide occupant restraint in the event of a
crash. The effect of each system is enhanced when it is
used properly and together with other systems. No
single occupant restraint system can, by itself, provide
you or your family with the equal level of restraint
which these systems can provide when used together.
That is why it is important for you and your family to
understand the purpose and proper use of each of these
systems and how they relate to each other.
The purpose of all occupant restraint systems is to help
reduce the possibility of death or serious injury in the
event of a collision. None of these systems, either indi-
vidually or together, can ensure that there is no injury
in the event of collision. However, the more you know
about these systems and how to use them properly, the
greater your chances become of surviving an accident
without death or serious injury.
Seat belts provide the primary restraint to all occupants
of the vehicle, and every occupant of the vehicle should
wear seat belts properly at all times. Children should
always be secured in child restraint systems that are
appropriate for their age and size. SRS (Supplemental
Restraint System) airbags are, as their names imply,
designed to work with, and be supplemental to, seat
belts and are not substitutes for them. SRS airbags can
be very effective in reducing the risk of head and chest
injuries by preventing contact of the head and chest
with interior portions of the vehicle.

REAR DOOR CHILDPROTECTORS
Move the lock lever to the “LOCK”
position as shown on the label.
This feature allows you to lock a rear
door so it can be opened from the outside
only, not from inside. We recommend us-
ing this feature whenever small children
are in the vehicle.
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the doors
are closed and locked, especially
when small children are in the ve-
hicle. Along with the proper use of
seat belts, locking the doors helps
prevent the driver and passengers
from being thrown out from the ve-
hicle during an accident. It also helps
prevent the doors from being opened
unintentionally.
You can select the following modes of
the automatic locking and unlocking
functions. The initial mode is mode 1.
Mode 1—Automatic locking operation
linked to shift lever position
All doors are automatically locked when
the shift lever is moved out of “P”
position after the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position and all the
doors are closed.
Mode 2—Automatic locking operation
linked to vehicle speed
All doors are automatically locked when
the vehicle speed goes above about 20
km/h (12 mph).
Mode 3—Automatic unlocking opera-
tion linked to the ignition switch
All doors are automatically unlocked
when the driver ’s door is opened within
10 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned to the “ACC” or “LOCK” posi-
tion, or the key is removed.
Mode 4—Automatic unlocking opera-
tion linked to shift lever position
All doors are automatically unlocked
when the selector lever is moved to
“P” position after the ignition switch is
turned to “ON” position.

CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the back
door is closed and locked, especially
when small children are in the ve-
hicle. Along with the proper use of
seat belts, locking the doors helps
prevent the driver and passengers
from being thrown out from the ve-
hicle during an accident. It also helps
prevent the doors from being opened
unintentionally.
Hood
To open the hood:1. Pull the hood lock release lever. The hood will spring up slightly.
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the hood
is closed and securely locked. Other-
wise, the hood may open unexpected-
ly while driving and an accident may
occur.
2. In front of the vehicle, pull up theauxiliary catch l ever and lift the
hood.
Before closing the hood, check to see that
you have not forgotten any tools, rags,
etc. Then lower the hood and make sure
it locks into place. If necessary, press
down gently on the front edge to lock it.

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 re-
straint, make sure it is locked in
position.
Do not drive with the head re-
straints removed.
Seat heaters
Left side
front seatRight side

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
burns at low temperatures (erythema,
varicella). Use extra caution for;
Babies, small children, elderly
persons, sick persons or handi-
capped 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.

NOTICE
Do not put unevenly weighed ob-
jects on the seat and do not stick
sharp objects (needles, nails, etc.)
into the seat.
 When cleaning the seats, do not
use organic substances (paint thin-
ner, benzine, alcohol, gasoline,
etc.). They may damage the heater
and seat surface.
 To prevent the battery from being
discharged, turn the switch off
when the engine is not running.
Toyota strongly urges that the driver and
passengers in the vehicle be properly re-
strained at all times with the seat belts
provided. Failure to do so could increase
the chance of injury and/or the severity of
injury in accidents.
The seat belts provided for your vehicle
are designed for people of adult size,
large enough to properly wear them.
Child. Use a child restraint system ap-
propriate for the child until the child be-
comes large enough to properly wear the
vehicle’s seat belts. (For details, see
“Child restraint” on page 79.)
If a child is too large for a child restraint
system, the child s hould sit in the rear
seat and must be restrained using the
vehicle’s seat belt. According to accident
statistics, the child is safer when properly
restrained in the rear seat than in the
front seat.
If a child must sit in the front seat, the
seat belts should be worn properly. If an
accident occurs and the seat belts are not
worn properly, the force of the rapid infla-
tion of the airbag may cause death or
serious injury to the child. Do not allow any children to stand up or
kneel on either rear or front seats. An
unrestrained child could suffer serious in-
jury or death during emergency braking or
a collision. Also, do not let the child sit
on your lap. Holding a child in your arms
does not provide sufficient restraint.
Pregnant woman.
Toyota recommends the
use of a seat belt. Ask your doctor for
specific recommendations. The lap belt
should be worn securely and as low as
possible over the hips and not on the
waist.
Injured person. Toyota recommends the
use of a seat belt. Depending on the inju-
ry, first check with your doctor for specific
recommendations.

CAUTION
Persons should ride in their seats
properly wearing their seat belts
whenever the vehicle is moving.
Otherwise, they are much more likely
to suffer serious bodily injury or
death in the event of sudden braking
or a collision.
When using the seat belts, observe
the following:
Use the belt for only one person
at a time. Do not use a single
belt for two or more people—ev-
en children.
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 driver and 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 direct-
ly to the abdomen. In the event
of a frontal collision, the more
the seat is reclined, the greater
the risk of personal injury.
Be careful not to damage the
belt webbing or hardware. Take
care that they do not get caught
or pinched in the seat or doors.
Inspect the belt system periodi-
cally. Check for cuts, fraying,
and loose parts. Damaged parts
should be replaced. Do not dis-
assemble or modify the system.
Keep the belts clean and dry. If
they need cleaning, use a mild
soap solution or lukewarm water.
Never use bleach, dye, or abra-
sive cleaners, or allow them to
come into contact with the belt—
they may severely weaken the
belts. (See “Cleaning the interi-
or” on page 276.)
Replace the belt assembly (in-
cluding bolts) if it has been
used in a severe impact. The en-
tire assembly should be replaced
even if damage is not obvious.

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.
