■Returning the third seats
Push and hold the returning
switch until the seat cushion is
locked.
A beep sounds twice to indicate
the start of the operation. The
beep sounds again twice when
operation is completed.
■When returning the tumbled second seat
Once the seat is moved from the tumbled position to the folded-down posi-
tion, it cannot be directly returned to the tumbled position again. Raise the
seatback once if it is folded.
■ Power third seat
●If the indicator light above the switches flashes three times when the fold-
ing/returning switch is pushed, the folding operation will not start. Make
sure the engine switch is in the “LOCK” or “ACC” position and/or the
automatic transmission shift lever is in P.
● If any of the following conditions occur while the seat is operating, the
seat operation will stop. The indicator light above the switches will flash
three times and a beep will sound for about 10 seconds:
• An object is caught between the seatback and seat cushion.
• The stowing switch is released.
• Other power third seat switch is pushed while operating the stowing
switch.
• The shift lever is moved from P when the engine switch is in the “ON” position.
• The engine switch is turned to the “ON” position when the shift lever is in N.
If the engine is started during operating, the seat operation may also be
stopped.
To continue the folding operation, the seatback must be returned to its
original position first.

CAUTION
■Tumbling the second seats
●In order to prevent personal injury in a collision or sudden stop, do not
allow passengers to sit in the third seats when a second seat is tumbled.
● When tumbling the second seats, fix the seats securely by adjusting the
length of the seat's holding strap.
● Do not attach the holding strap to anything other than the assist grip to
hold the second seat.
● The holding strap must be stowed into the pocket when it is not in use.
■ Removing the second seats
●Do not leave a seat in the vehicle if it has been disengaged from the floor.
● Do not sit on or place anything on a seat that has been removed from the\
vehicle.
■ Stowing the third seats
●Make sure that the seat path is clear before moving the seat. Otherwise,
injury may result from contact with, or by being pinched by parts of the
seat.
● Manual third seats: Do not sit on the third seat when it is in the stowed
position with the seatback upright.
● Power third seats: Do not continue the stowing operation when the indica-
tor above the stowing switch and returning switch comes on or flashes. An
object or a person may be caught in the seat.
● Power third seats: During the stowing operation, to prevent the vehicle
from moving, do not shift the shift lever out of P with the engine switch in
the “ON” position.

NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the seat
●Avoid putting heavy loads on a folded seat that is being used as a tempo-
rary table.
● Before folding a second seat as preparation for removal or tumbling the
seat, the seat belt buckles must be stowed.
● Do not sit on or put heavy loads on a second seat that has been removed
from the vehicle. The metal tips of the seat leg may be damaged, prevent-
ing reinstallation of the seat.
● The second seats must be reinstalled in their original positions. If they are
installed in the wrong position, the seat locks or bezels will be damaged.
● When installing a second seat, make sure to align the front leg hooks with
the rearmost of the two bars in each of the front strikers in the floor. If you
align the legs with the front strikers, the bezel in the floor will be damaged.
● Do not use the seat position adjustment lever to lift or carry a seat that has
been disengaged from the floor or removed from the vehicle. Otherwise,
during reinstallation, part of the seat may slide preventing proper reinstal-
lation of the seat. If this happens, return the seat to the rearmost position
before reinstalling it.
● Make sure that the path the seat will move through is clear before stowing
or returning the third seat.

CAUTION
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of
sudden braking or an accident.
Failing to do so may cause death or severe injury.
■Wearing a seat belt
●Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt.
● Always wear a seat belt properly.
● Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt
for more than one person at once, including children.
● Toyota recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and always
use a seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.
● Do not recline the seat any more than necessary to achieve a proper seat-
ing position. The seat belt is most effective when the occupants are sitting
up straight and well back in the seats.
● Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.
● Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips.
● Always wear the belt with the shoulder portion over the outside armrest
and the lap portion under the outside armrest.
■ Adjustable shoulder anchor
Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of your
shoulder. The belt should be kept away from your neck, but not falling off
your shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce the amount of protection in an
accident and cause death or serious injuries in a collision. ( P. 86)
■ Seat belt pretensioners
●Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger's seat.
Doing so will disperse the passenger's weight, which prevents the sensor
from detecting the passenger's weight properly. As a result, the seat belt
pretensioner for the front passenger's seat may not activate in the event of
a collision.
● If the pretensioner has activated, the seat belt becomes locked: it cannot
be further extended, nor will it return to the stowed position. The seat belt
cannot be used again and must be replaced at your Toyota dealer.

SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions regarding the airbags.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
●The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts
properly.
The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts.
● The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause
death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) advises:
Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75 mm)
of inflation, placing yourself 10 in. (250 mm) from your driver airbag pro-
vides you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured from the
center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than 10 in.
(250 mm) away now, you can change your driving position in several
ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the pedals comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 10 in.
(250 mm) distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward, sim-
ply by reclining the back of the seat somewhat. If reclining the back of
your seat makes it hard to see the road, raise yourself using a firm,
non-slippery cushion, or raise the seat if your vehicle has that feature\
.
• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the air- bag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as recommended by NHTSA above, while
still maintaining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of
the instrument panel controls.
