CAUTION
■When adjusting a rear seat (CrewMax models)
●Be careful that the seat does not hit passengers or luggage.
● Do not recline the seat more than necessary when the vehicle is in motion
to reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt. If the seat is too reclined,
the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply restraint forces directly to the
abdomen or your neck may contact the shoulder belt, increasing the risk of
death or serious injury in the event of an accident.
● Be careful not to get your hands or feet caught in the seat.
■ Before folding down a rear seat
Do not fold down a rear seat when there are passengers sitting in the rear
seats or when there is luggage placed on/under the rear seats.
■ After adjusting a seat (CrewMax models)
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●Make sure that the seat and seatback are securely locked in position by
lightly rocking them back and forth.
● Check that the seat belts are not twisted or caught in the seat.
■ When the seatback is folded/the bo ttom cushion is raised (Double Cab
models)
Do not sit on or place anything on the seatback or storage box while driving.
■ When returning the seats to their original position
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●Be careful not to get your hands or feet pinched in the seat.
● Make sure the seatbacks and bottom cushions are securely locked. Fail-
ure to do so will prevent the seat belt from operating properly.
● Check that the seat belts are not twisted or caught in the seat.
● Arrange the seat belts in the proper positions for ready use.
