Move seat
fully back
CAUTION
A forwardfacing child restraint
system should be allowed to be
installed on the front passenger
seat only when it is unavoidable.
Always move the seat as far back
as possible even if the front pas-
senger occupant classification indi-
cator light indicates “OFF”, because
the front passenger airbag could in-
flate with considerable speed and
force. Otherwise, the child may be
killed or seriously injured.
On vehicles with side airbags and
curtain shield airbags, do not allow
the child to lean his/her head or
any part of his/her body against the
door or the area of the seat, front
or rear pillar or roof side rail from
which the side airbags or curtain
shield airbags deploy even if the
child is seated in the child restraint
system. It is dangerous if the side
airbag and curtain shield airbag in-
flate, and the impact could cause
death or serious injury to the child.

around the booster seat and across the
child following the instructions provided
by its manufacturer and insert the tab
into the buckle taking care not to twist
the belt.

kept away from child’s neck, but
not falling off child’s shoulder.
Otherwise, the child may be killed
or seriously injured in case of sud-
den braking or a collision.
Both highpositioned lap belts and
loosefitting belts could cause
death or serious injuries due to
sliding under the lap belt during a
collision or other unintended event.
Keep the lap belt positioned as low
on a child’s hips as possible.
For child’s safety, do not place the
shoulder belt under child’s arm.
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, it cannot protect your
child from death or serious injury.
Contact your Toyota dealer immedi-
ately. Do not install the child re-
straint system on the seat until the
seat belt is fixed.

Any of the following conditions may oc-
cur, but do not indicate the malfunc-
tion:
The yellow warning light may stay on
for about 60 seconds after the hybrid
system is started. It is normal if it
turns off after a while.
Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly
may turn on the red warning light and
buzzer. It is normal if the light turns off
and the buzzer stops sounding after a
few seconds.
You may hear a small sound in the
engine compartment after the hybrid
system is started or the brake pedal is
depressed repeatedly. This is a pump
pulsating sound of the brake system,
and it is not a malfunction.
You may hear a motor sound in the
engine compartment when the brake
pedal is depressed with the hybrid sys-
tem off.
The brake pedal stroke may be short
when you press the “POWER” switch
with the brake pedal depressed. (b) Driver’s Seat Belt Reminder Light
and Buzzer
The light and buzzer act as a reminder to
buckle up the driver’s seat belt.
Once the “IG −ON” mode is enabled, the
reminder light flashes and the buzzer
sounds if the driver ’s seat belt is not fas-
tened. Unless the driver fastens the belt,
the light continues flashing and the buzzer
sounds 4 to 8 seconds.
If the vehicle speed rises above 20 km/h
(12 mph) without the belt fastened, a
buzzer sounds.
(c) Front Passenger ’s Seat Belt Reminder Light and Buzzer
This light acts as a reminder to have the
front passenger buckle up the seat belt.
Once the “IG −ON” mode is enabled, the
reminder light flashes if a passenger sits
in the front passenger seat and does not
fasten the seat belt. Unless the front pas-
senger fastens the belt, the light continues
flashing.
If the vehicle speed rises above 20 km/h
(12 mph) without the belt fastened, a
buzzer sounds. If luggage or other load is placed on the
front passenger seat, depending on its
weight, causing the reminder light to flash
and buzzer to sound.
(d) Malfunction Indicator Lamp
This lamp comes on when the “IGON”
mode is enabled and goes off after the
hybrid system starts. This means that
the warning light system is operating
properly.
If the lamp remains on or the lamp
comes on while driving, first check the
following:
Empty fuel tank
If the fuel tank is empty, refuel immedi-
ately.
This case is a temporary malfunction. The
malfunction indicator lamp will go off after
taking several driving trips.
If the lamp does not go off even after
several trips, contact your Toyota deal-
er as soon as possible.
There is a problem somewhere in the
engine, hybrid system, throttle control
system or warning light system itself.
Contact your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible to service the vehicle.
