Customization that can be co nfigured at Toyota dealer
Settings (e.g. unlocking function using a key) can be changed. (Customiz-
able features P. 454)
CAUTION
■To prevent an accident
Observe the following precautions while driving the vehicle.
Failing to do so may result in a door opening and an occupant falling out,
resulting in death or serious injury.
●Always use a seat belt.
● Always lock the doors.
● Ensure that all doors are properly closed.
● Do not pull the inside handle of either of the front doors while driving.
● Set the rear door child protector locks when children are seated in the rear
seat.

48 1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk
CAUTION
■Caution while driving
Keep the trunk lid closed.
This not only keeps personal belongings from being thrown out, but also pre-
vents exhaust gases from entering the vehicle.
■ When children are in the vehicle
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle as they may lock themselves
in the vehicle or trunk, which could cause the child to overheat or suffocate,
resulting in death or serious injury.

58 1-3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)
■Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend so that you can move around fully.
■ Automatic locking retractor (ALR)
When a passenger's shoulder belt is completely extended and 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 (CRS) firmly.
To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once
more. ( P. 105)
■ Pregnant women
■ People suffering illness
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way.
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat
belt in the proper way. ( P. 55)
Women who are pregnant should position
the lap belt as low as possible over the
hips in the same manner as other occu-
pants. Extend the shoulder belt com-
pletely over the shoulder and position the
belt across the chest. Avoid belt contact
over the rounding of the abdominal area.
If the seat belt is not worn properly, not
only a pregnant woman, but also the fetus
could suffer death or serious injury as a
result of sudden braking or a collision.
