CAUTION
When reinstalling the seat, observe
the following to prevent personal inju-
ry:
Do not reinstall the seat while the
vehicle is moving.
Be careful not to get your hands or
feet pinched in the seat.
Be careful not to hit the removed
seat against a person or drop it on
yourself.
After folding or installing the seat,
push it forward and backward to
make sure it is locked in position.
When reinstalling seats to their origi-
nal position, observe the following
precautions in order to prevent per-
sonal injury in a collision or s udden
stop:
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.
Install each seat in the same posi-
tion from which it was removed.
Failure to do so will prevent the
occupants from using seat belts
properly.
Do not reinstall the seat with its
back facing forward.
Make sure the seat is securely
locked in the proper position.
NOTICE
Do not carry the removed seat by
holding the seat position adjusting le-
ver.

Front and second seats
Third seats
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.
Third seats—When an occupant sits on
the seat, always pull up the head restraint
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.
To use the armrest, pull it down as
shown above.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the armrest,
avoid putting heavy loads on it.

To connect the extender to the seat
belt, insert the tab into the seat belt
buckle so that the “PRESS” signs on
the bucklerelease buttons of the ex-
tender and the seat belt are both facing
outward as shown.
You will hear a click when the tab locks
into the buckle.
When releasing the seat belt, press on
the buckle−release button on the extender,
not on the seat belt. This helps prevent
damage to the vehicle interior and extend-
er itself.
When not in use, remove the extender
and store in the vehicle for future use.
CAUTION
After inserting the tab, make sure
the tab and buckle are locked and
that the seat belt extender 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.
The shoulder belt comfort guide for the
outside third seats will provide added
seat belt comfort for children who have
outgrown child restraints and for small
adults. When the shoulder belt is in-
serted through the guide, the comfort
guide pulls the belt away from the neck
and head of an occupant.
For wearing the seat belt, see “—Front
and rear seat belts” on page 96 in this
Section. Make sure the shoulder belt
crosses the shoulder.

ity, do not apply the load uneven-
ly. That may cause not only dam-

tion to the steering ability due to
