Head restraints

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM 34477U)
Rear center head restraint and front cen-
ter head restraint (bench seats)—When an
occupant sits on the center position of the
rear seats (Double cab and Crew Max
models) or the front seats (bench seats),
always pull up the center 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 in the illustrations.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the armrest,
avoid putting heavy loads on it.
XS13100c
To turn on the seat heater, move the
dial upward (“L” dial for the left front
seat or “R” dial for the right front
seat). At this time, the indicator light
will illuminate to indicate the seat heat-
er is operating.
Move the dial upward or downward to ad-
just to the desired temperature.
To turn it off, move the dial downward
until it stops.
When the seat heater is not in use, move
the dial fully downward.
The engine switch must be in the “ON”
position to operate seat heaters.

CAUTION
Occupants must use caution when op-
erating the seat heater because it
may make them feel too hot or cause
burns at low temperatures (erythema,
varicella). Use extra caution for;
Babies, small children, elderly per-
sons, sick persons or persons with
physical disabilities
Persons who have sensitive skin
Persons who are exhausted
Persons who have taken alcohol or
drugs which induce sleep (sleeping
drug, cold remedy, etc.)
To prevent the seat from overheating,
do not use the seat heater with a
blanket, cushion, or other insulating
objects which cover the seat.
NOTICE
 Do not put unevenly weighted ob-
jects on the seat and do not stick
sharp objects (needles, nails, etc.)
into the seat.
 When cleaning the seats, do not
use organic substances (paint thin-
ner, benzine, alcohol, gasoline,
etc.). They may damage the heater
and seat surface.
 To prevent the battery from being
discharged, turn the switch off
when the engine is not running.
Toyota strongly urges that the driver and
passengers in the vehicle be properly re-
strained at all times with the seat belts
provided. Failure to do so could increase
the chance of injury and/or the severity of
injury in accidents.
The seat belts provided for your vehicle
are designed for people of adult size,
large enough to properly wear them.
Child. Use a child restraint system ap-
propriate for the child until the child be-
comes large enough to properly wear the
vehicle’s seat belts. See “Child restraint”
on page 115 in this Section for details.
REGULAR CAB MODELS—
If a child is too large for a child restraint
system, the child s hould sit in the seat
and must be restrained using the vehicle’s
seat belt.
DOUBLE CAB AND CREW MAX
MODELS—
If a child is too large for a child restraint
system, the child s hould sit in the rear
seat and must be restrained using the
vehicle’s seat belt. According to accident
statistics, the child is safer when properly
restrained in the rear seat than in the
front seat.

CAUTION
Do not adjust the steering column
while the vehicle is moving. Doing so
may cause the driver to mishandle
the vehicle and an accident may oc-
cur resulting in death or serious inju-
ries.
XS14005
Normal type
XS14021
Extend type
Adjust the mirror so that you can just
see the side of your vehicle in the mir-
ror.
Extend type only—Each mirror is divided
into two and has two different curvatures.
The lower part of the mirror offers a wider
field of vision than the upper part. Dis-
tances will therefore appear to be different
in the lower and upper part of the mirrors.
Be careful when judging the size or dis-
tance of any object seen in the outside
rear view mirror on the passenger ’s side
because it is a convex mirror. Any object
seen in a convex mirror will look smaller
and farther away than when seen in a flat
mirror.
On some models, when you push the
outside rear view mirror defogger switch,
the heater panels in the outside rear view
mirrors will quickly clear the mirror
surface. (See “Outside rear view mirror
defogger” on page 177 in Section 1 −5.)
Outside rear view mirrors—

178
2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM 34477U)
To defog or defrost the outside rear
view mirrors, push the switch.
The engine switch must be in the “ON”
position.
The heater panels in the outside rear view
mirrors will quickly clear the mirror sur-
faces. An indicator light will illuminate to
indicate the defoggers are operating.
On some models, the front windshield wip-
er de−icer also operates simultaneously by
this switch. On vehicles with the front
windshield wiper de −icer, the front wind-
shield wiper blades will be de −iced.
Push the switch once again to turn the
defoggers off.
The system will automatically shut off af-
ter the defoggers have operated about 15
minutes.
CAUTION
Since the mirror surfaces can get hot,
do not touch them when the switch
is on.
Make sure you turn the defoggers off
when the mirror surfaces are clear or the
wiper blades have de −iced. Leaving the
defoggers on for a long time could cause
the battery to discharge, especially during
stop −and− go driving. The defoggers are
not designed for drying rain water or for
melting snow.
If the outside rear view mirrors are heavi-
ly coated with ice, use a spray de −icer
before operating the switch.

To defog or defrost the back window,
push the switch with the back window
closed.
The engine switch must be in the “ON”
position.
The thin heater wires on the inside of the
back window will quickly clear the window
surface. An indicator light will illuminate to
indicate the defogger is operating.
On some models, the outside rear view
mirror defoggers and/or the front wind-
shield wiper de−icer also operate simulta-
neously by this switch. On vehicles with
the outside rear view mirror defoggers, the
heater panel in the outside rear view mir-
rors will quickly clear the mirror surfaces.
On vehicles with the front windshield wip-
er de −icer, the front windshield wiper
blades will be de− iced.
Push the switch once again to turn the
defoggers off.
The system will automatically shut off af-
ter the defoggers have operated about 15
minutes.CAUTION
On vehicles with outside rear view
mirror defoggers, since the mirror
surfaces can get hot, do not touch
them when the defogger switch is on.
Make sure you turn the defoggers off
when the surfaces are clear or the wiper
blades have de −iced. Leaving the defog-
gers on for a long time could cause the
battery to discharge, especially during
stop −and− go driving. The defoggers are
not designed for drying rain water or for
melting snow.
On vehicles with outside rear view mirror
defoggers, if the outside rear view mirrors
are heavily coated with ice, use a spray
de− icer before operating the switch.
NOTICE
When cleaning the inside of the back
window, be careful not to scratch or
damage the heater wires or connec-
tors.
