when small children are in the ve-

seat belts, locking the doors helps

The windows can be operated with the
switch on each door. The passengers’
windows can also be controlled by the
switches on the driver ’s door.
The power windows work when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position.
Key off operation: If the either front door
is closed, they work for 45 seconds even
after the ignition switch is turned off. They
stop working when the either front door is
opened. OPERATING THE DRIVER’S WINDOW
Use the switch on the driver’s door.
Normal operation:
The window moves as
long as you hold the switch.
To open: Lightly push down the switch.
To close: Lightly pull up the switch.
Automatic operation: Push the switch
completely down or pull it completely up,
and then release it. The window will fully
open or close. To stop the window part-
way, lightly move the switch in the oppo-
site direction and then release it.
Jam protection function: During automat-
ic closing operation, the window stops and
opens half way if something gets caught
between the window and window frame.
If the window receives a strong impact,
this function may work even if nothing is
caught. If the power window does not operate
automatically or the jam protection
function does not operate correctly, you
should normalize the power window.
To normalize the power window:
1. Push down the power window switch and lower the windows fully.
2. Pull up the switch until the windows close and hold the switch for a second.
Make sure that the window open and
close automatically. If the power windows
cannot be operated properly, have it
checked by your Toyota dealer.
CAUTION
Never try jamming any part of your
body to activate the jam protection
function intentionally, as it could re-
sult in a death or serious injury.
The jam protection function may
not work if something gets caught
just before the window is fully
closed.

OPERATING THE PASSENGERS’
WINDOWS
Use the switch on each passenger ’s
door or the switches on the driver ’s
door that control each passenger ’s win-
dow.
The window moves as long as you hold
the switch.
To open: Push down the switch.
To close: Pull up the switch.
If you push in the window lock switch on

CAUTION
To avoid death or serious personal
injury, you must do the following.
Before you close the power win-
dows, always make sure there is
nobody around the power windows.
You must also make sure the
heads, hands and other parts of the
bodies of all occupants are kept
completely inside the vehicle. If
someone’s neck, head or hands get
caught in a closing window, it
could result in death or serious in-
jury. When anyone closes the power
windows, make sure he or she op-
erates the windows safely.
When small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the power
window switches without supervi-
sion. Use the window lock switch to
prevent them from making unex-
pected use of the switches.
Be sure to remove the ignition key
when you leave your vehicle.

Never leave anyone (particularly a
small child) alone in your vehicle,
especially with the ignition key still
inserted. Otherwise, he/she could
use the power window switches and
get trapped in a window. Unat-
tended person (particularly a small
child) can be involved in a serious
accident.
To open the back door, pull the handle.
All the side doors and back door lock and
unlock simultaneously with the driver ’s
door.
Operating the power door lock switch or
wireless remote control key simultaneously
locks or unlocks the back door. (See
“—Locking and unlocking doors” on page
18 and “Side doors” on page 22 in this
Section.)
When closing the back door, make sure
it is fully closed.
See “—Stowage precautions” on page 331
in Section 2 for precautions when loading
luggage.
CAUTION
Keep the back door closed while
driving. This not only keeps the
luggage from being thrown out but
also prevents exhaust gases from
entering the vehicle.
If the open back door hides the
stop, tail or rear turn signal lights
while you are parked, other road
users must be warned of the pres-
ence of your vehicle by a warning
triangle or other device.
