Safety mechanism E00302500537
Door’s window
If

a hand or head is trapped in the closing power
window, it will lower automatically.
Nonetheless, make sure that nobody puts their head
or hand out of the power window when closing a
power window.
The lowered window will become operational after
a few seconds. WARNING
l If
the safety mechanism is activated three
or more times successively, the safety
mechanism will be temporarily cancelled.
If a hand or head got trapped, a serious
injury could result. CAUTION
l
The
safety mechanism is cancelled just be-
fore the power window is fully closed.
This allows the power window to close
completely. Therefore be especially care-
ful that no fingers are trapped in the pow-
er window.
NOTE l The

safety mechanism can be activated if the
driving conditions or other circumstances
cause the power window to be subjected to a
physical shock similar to that caused by a trap-
ped hand or head.
l If the safety mechanism is activated three or
more times in a row, the safety mechanism
will be cancelled and the power window will
not close correctly.
In such a case, the following procedure
should be implemented to rectify this situa-
tion. Repeatedly raise the appropriate power
window switch until that power window has
been fully closed. Following this, release the
switch, raise the switch once again and hold
it in this condition for at least one second,
then release it. You should now be able to op-
erate the power window in the normal fashion.
Rear retractable power window
If

a hand or head is trapped in the closing rear re-
tractable power window, it will lower automatically.
Nonetheless, make sure that nobody puts their head
or hand out of the rear retractable power window
when closing a rear retractable power window.
The lowered window will become operational after
a few seconds. WARNING
l If
the safety mechanism is activated three
or more times successively, the safety
mechanism will be temporarily cancelled.
If a hand or head got trapped, a serious
injury could result. CAUTION
l
The
safety mechanism is cancelled just be-
fore the rear retractable power window is
fully closed. This allows the rear retracta-
ble power window to close completely.
Therefore be especially careful that no fin-
gers are trapped in the rear retractable
power window.
NOTE l The

safety mechanism can be activated if the
driving conditions or other circumstances
cause the rear retractable power window to
be subjected to a physical shock similar to
that caused by a trapped hand or head. Locking and unlocking

If
a hand or head is trapped in the closing sunroof,
it will reopen automatically.
Nonetheless, make sure that nobody puts their head
or hand out of the sunroof when opening or closing.
The opened sunroof will become operational after
a few seconds.

If the safety mechanism is activated 5 or more
times consecutively or the switch (1) is kept press-
ed for 10 seconds or longer with the sunroof station-
ary in the fully tilted up position, normal closing of
the sunroof will be aborted. In such an event, you
should take the following steps: 1. Press the switch (1) repeatedly until the sun-roof has been fully tilt up.
2. Once the fully tilt up position has been reached, press again and hold the switch (1)
for at least 3 seconds.
3. After pressing the switch (3) to perform full opening, press the switch (2) to fully close
the sunroof.

cause the sunroof to be subjected to a physi-
cal shock similar to that caused by a trapped
hand or head.
l Avoid stopping the sunroof before it reaches
the opening or closing end during operations.
If this should accidentally happen, repeat the
process from step 1. CAUTION
l
The
safety mechanism is cancelled just be-
fore the sunroof is fully closed. This al-
lows the sunroof to close completely.

Seat adjustment
E00400300200
Adjust
the driver’s seat so that you are comfortable
and that you can reach the pedals, steering wheel,
switches etc. while retaining a clear field of vision. WARNING
l Do
not attempt to adjust the seat while
driving. This can cause loss of vehicle con-
trol and result in an accident. After ad-
justments are made, ensure the seating is
locked in position by attempting to move
the seat forward and rearward without us-
ing the adjusting mechanism.
l It is extremely dangerous to ride in the
cargo area (inside or outside) of a vehicle.
Also, the cargo area and rear seats should
never be used as a play area by children.
In a collision, people or children riding un-
restrained in these areas are more likely
to be seriously injured or killed.
Do not allow people or children to ride in
any area of your vehicle that is not equip-
ped with seats and seat belts, and make
sure that everyone travelling in your vehi-
cle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt, or
in the case of a child is strapped in a child
restraint. WARNING
l To
minimize the risk of personal injury
in the event of a collision or sudden brak-
ing, the seatbacks should always be in the
almost upright position while the vehicle
is in motion. The protection provided by
the seat belts may be reduced significant-
ly when the seatback is reclined. There is
greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the seat belt, resulting in serious in-
jury, when the seatback is reclined. CAUTION
l
Make
sure the seat is adjusted by an
adult or with adult supervision for cor-
rect and safe operation.
l Do not place a cushion or the like be-
tween your back and the seatback while
driving. The effectiveness of the head re-
straints will be reduced in the event of an
accident.
l When sliding the seats, be careful not to
catch your hand or foot.
l When sliding or reclining the seat rear-
ward, pay careful attention to the rear
seat passengers. (Double cab and Club
cab) Front seat

When the lever or pedal is used, the seatback will
tilt
forward and at the same time the entire seat will
move forward. To return the seat, slide the entire
seat rearward and then raise the seatback rearward
to lock the seat in position. WARNING
l Do not drive the vehicle with the seatback
folded

forward. The seat is not retained
position if it is not kept in an upright posi-
tion, so serious injuries could be suffered
in the event of hard braking or a collision. CAUTION
l
The
reclining mechanism of the seatback
is spring loaded, causing it to return to
the vertical position when the lock lever
is operated. When using the lever, sit
close to the seatback or hold it with your
hand.
l Use a foot to operate the pedal (2).
Folding the seatback forward (Single
cab, passenger’s seat)* E00410400031

to “Tools, jack and jack handle” on page
6-07. Pull the band and fold the seatback forward.
Heated seats*
E00401100784
The heated seats can be operated with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position. 1 (HI)- Heater high (for quick heating).
2- Heater off.
3 (LO)- Heater low (to keep the seat warm).
The indication lamp (A) will illuminate while the
heater is on. CAUTION
l
Switch off seat heaters when not in use.
l Operate

in the high position for quick heat-
ing. Once the seat is warm, set the heater
to low to keep it warm. Slight variations
in seat temperature may be felt while us-
ing the heated seats. This is caused by the
operation of the heater’s internal thermo-
stat and does not indicate a malfunction.
l If the following types of persons use the
heated seats, they might become too hot
or receive minor burns (red skin, heat blis-
ters, etc.):
• Children, elderly or ill people
• People with sensitive skin
• Excessively tired people
• People under the influence of alcoholor sleep inducing medication (cold
medicine, etc.)
l Do not place heavy objects on the seat or
stick pins, needles, or other pointed ob-
jects into it.
l Do not use a blanket, cushion, or other ma-
terial with high heat insulation properties
on the seat while using the heater; this
might cause the heater element to overheat
l When cleaning the seat, do not use ben-
zene, kerosene, petrol, alcohol, or other or-
ganic solvents; these might damage the
surface of the seat and also the heater ele-
ment.
l If water or any other liquid is spilled on
the seat, allow it to dry thoroughly before
attempting to use the heater.
l Turn the heater off immediately if it ap-
pears to be malfunctioning during use. Seat and seat belts

Head restraints
E00403300995WARNING
l Driving without the head restraints in
place can cause you and your passengers
serious injury or death in an accident. To
reduce the risk of injury in an accident, al-
ways make sure the head restraints are in-
stalled and properly positioned when the
seat is occupied.
l Never place a cushion or similar device
on the seatback. This can adversely affect
head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your head and the
restraint.
To adjust height
Adjust
the head restraint height so that the centre
of the restraint is as close as possible to eye level to
reduce the chances of injury in the event of colli-
sion. Any person too tall for the restraint to reach
their seated eye level, should adjust the restraint as
high as possible. To raise the head restraint, move it upward. To low-
er

the restraint, move it downward while pushing
the height adjusting knob (A) in the direction of the
arrow. After adjustment, push the head restraint
downward and make sure that it is locked. To remove
Lift

the head restraint with the height adjusting
knob (A) pushed in. To install
Confirm

that the head restraint is facing the correct
direction, and then insert it into the seatback while
pressing the height adjusting knob (A) in the direc-
tion indicated by the arrow. CAUTION
l
Confirm
that the height adjusting knob
(A) is correctly adjusted as shown in the
illustration, and also lift the head re-
straints to ensure that they do not come
out of the seatback. Seat and seat belts

CAUTION
l
If your vehicle is equipped with the rear
seat head restraint, the head restraints
for the front and rear seats differ in size.
When installing head restraints, make
sure the front and rear head restraints
are fitted in their respective seats. Seat belts
E00404800825
To

protect you and your passengers in the event of
an accident, it is most important that the seat belts
are worn correctly while driving.
A seat belt for a front seat equipped with an airbag
has a pretensioner system. These belts are used the
same way as a conventional seat belt.
Refer to “Seat belt pretensioner system and force
limiter system” on page 2-12 . WARNING
l Always
place the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never
put it behind you or under your arm.
l One seat belt should be used by only one
person. Doing otherwise can be dangerous.
l The seat belt will provide its wearer with
maximum protection if the recliner seat-
back is placed in fully upright position.
When the seatback is reclined, there is
greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the belt, especially in a forward im-
pact accident, and may be injured by the
belt or by striking the instrument panel
or seatbacks.
l Seat belts should always be worn by ev-
ery adult who drives or rides in this vehi-
cle, and by all children who are tall
enough to wear seat belts properly.
l Remove any twists when using the belt.
l No modifications or additions should be
made by the user which will either pre-
vent the seat belt adjusting devices from
operating to remove slack, or prevent the
seat belt assembly from being adjusted to
remove slack. WARNING
l To
reduce risk of serious or fatal injury
in an accident, including the deploying
driver’s airbag, adjust the driver’s seat
as far back as possible while maintaining
a position that still allows good visibility
and good control of the steering wheel,
the brake and accelerator, and vehicle con-
trols.
l Never hold a child in your arms or on
your lap when riding in this vehicle, even
if you are wearing your seat belt. To do
so risks severe or fatal injury to the child
in a collision or sudden stop.
l Always adjust the seat belt to a snug fit. 3-point type seat belt (with emergency
locking mechanism)
E00404901126
This type of belt requires no length adjustment.
Once

worn, the belt adjusts itself to the movement
of the wearer, but in the event of a sudden or strong
shock, the belt automatically locks to hold the wear-
er’s body. Seat and seat belts
