3. SEATBACK ANGLE ADJUSTING
SWITCH
Move the control switch in the de-
sired direction.
Releasing the switch will stop the seat-
back at that position.
CAUTION
Avoid reclining the seatback any
more than needed. The seat belts pro-
vide maximum protection in a frontal
or rear collision when the driver and
the front passenger are sitting up
straight and well back in the seats. If
you are reclined, the lap belt may
slide past your hips and apply re-
straint forces directly to the abdomen
or your neck may contact the shoul-
der belt. In the event of a frontal
collision, the more the seat is re-
clined, the greater the risk of death
or serious injury.
4. SEAT LUMBER SUPPORT ADJUSTINGSWITCH
Push the switch on either side.
The amount of lumbar support will
change while the switch is pushed.

ter head restraint (bench seats)—When an
occupant sits on the center position of the
rear seats (Double cab and Crew Max

The head restraint is most effective when
it is close to your head. Therefore, using
a cushion on the seatback is not recom-
mended.

straint so that it is closest to the
top of your ears.
After adjusting the head restraint,
make sure it is locked in position.

below are activated or deactivated:
Front passenger airbag
Side airbag on the right front passen-
ger seat
Front passenger ’s seat belt pretension-
er
The system monitors the weight and
load on the right front passenger seat,
and the seat belt buckle switch to de-
termine conditions 1—4.

the conditions correctly:
Do not place a heavy load on the right
front passenger seat or the seatback
table, etc.

when the engine switch is turned to the
“ON” position. After about four sec-
onds, it will go off. After that, the front
passenger occupant classification sys-
tem operates and judges whether to in-
dicate “ON” or “OFF”.
