Key off operation:
If both front doors are
closed, the moon roof works for 43 sec-
onds even after the ignition switch is
turned off. It stops working when either
door is opened.
Jam protection function: If something
gets caught between the moon roof and
frame during closing operation, the moon
roof stops and opens half way.
If the moon roof receives a strong impact,
this function may work even if nothing is
caught. If the battery is disconnected or run
down,
the moon roof may not operate
automatically and the jam protection func-
tion will not function correctly after you
reconnect, replace or recharge the battery.
In any of these cases, you should normal-
ize the moon roof.
To normalize the moon roof, push and
hold the moon roof switch on the “TILT
UP” side until the moon roof tilts all the
way up and then tilts down a little auto-
matically.
Make sure that the moon roof opens and
closes automatically. If the moon roof can-
not be operated properly, have it checked
by your Toyota dealer.

Your vehicle is equipped with a front
passenger occupant classification sys-
tem. This system detects the conditions
1—4 in the table on page 74 and based
on these conditions activates or deacti-
vates front passenger airbags. The sys-
tem monitors the weight and load on
the front passenger seat, and the seat
belt buckle switch to determine condi-
tions 1—4. In order for the system to
detect the conditions correctly, do not
do any of the following.
Put a heavy load in the front passen-
ger seat.
Attach a seatback table to the front
passenger seat seatback.
Put weight on the front passenger by
putting your hands or feet on the front
passenger seat seatback from the rear
passenger seat.
The “AIRBAG ON” and “AIRBAG OFF”
indicator lights indicate the actuation of
the front passenger airbag, side airbag
on the front passenger seat and front
passenger ’s seat belt pretensioner.
The “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light will be
illuminated when the ignition switch is in
the “ON” position with the condition 2 in
