WARNINGlIn order to reduce the risk of serious or fa-
tal  injury  in  an  accident,  always  wear
your  own  seat  belt.  Do  not  allow  anyone
to  ride  in  your  vehicle  unless  he  or  she  is
also  seated  and  wearing  a  seat  belt.  Chil-
dren  should  additionally  be  restrained  in
a secure child restraint system.
NOTE
l When  luggage  is  placed  on  the  front  passen-
ger seat, a sensor in the seat cushion may, de-
pending on the weight and position of the lug-
gage,  cause  the  warning  tone  to  sound  and
the warning lamp to come on (Double cab).

WARNINGl When  adjusting  the  seat  belt  anchor,  set
it  at  a  position  that  is  sufficiently  high  so
that  the  belt  will  make  full  contact  with
your shoulder but will not touch your neck.Lap belts* E00405100128
The lap belts should be adjusted by holding the belt
and  latch  plate  at  right  angles  to  each  other,  and
then  pulling  the  belt  as  shown  in  the  illustration  to
a snug fit around the occupant.

While  holding  the  latch  plate,  insert  the  latch  plate
into the buckle until a “click” is heard.
Pregnant women restraint E00405600064WARNINGlSeat  belts  work  for  everyone,  including
pregnant  women.  Pregnant  women
should  use  the  available  seat  belts.  This
will  reduce  the  likelihood  of  injury  to
both  the  woman  and  the  unborn  child.
The  lap  belt  should  be  worn  across  the
thighs and as snug against the hips as pos-
sible,  but  not  across  the  waist.  Consult
your  doctor  if  you  have  any  additional
questions or concerns.

The  airbags  will  operate  only  when  the  ignition
switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.
When the airbag control unit detect an impact of suf-
ficient frontal or side force, it sends an ignition sig-
nal  to  the  airbag  modules  to  ignite  materials  in  the
inflator and generate gas and inflate the airbags.
The  airbags  deployment  produces  a  sudden,  loud
noise,  and  releases  some  smoke  and  powder,  but
these  conditions  are  not  injurious,  and  do  not  indi-
cate  a  fire  in  the  vehicle.  People  with  respiratory
problems  may  feel  some  temporary  irritation  from
chemicals  used  to  produce  the  deployment;  open
the  windows  after  airbag  deployment,  if  safe  to  do
so.
The  airbags  deflate  very  rapidly  after  deployment,
so there is little danger of obscured vision.
The time required from the sensors detecting an im-
pact  to  deflation  of  the  airbags  after  deployment  is
shorter than a blink of an eye.CAUTIONl Airbags  inflate  at  an  extremely  rapid
speed.  In  certain  situations,  contact  with
inflating  airbags  can  result  in  abrasions,
light cuts, bruises, and the like.Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch E00410100184
The  front  passenger’s  airbag  ON-OFF  switch  can
be  used  to  disable  the  front  passenger’s  airbag.  If
you  have  a  rearward  facing  child  restraint  system
that cannot be fitted to any seat other than the front
passenger seat, be sure to turn OFF the front passen-
ger’s airbag ON-OFF switch before using it. (Refer
to “To turn an airbag off” on page 2-30.)
The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is lo-
cated in the glove box.WARNINGl To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:
•Always  remove  the  key  from  the  igni-
tion  switch  before  operating  a  front
passenger’s  airbag  ON-OFF  switch.
Failure to do so could adversely affect
the airbag performance.
• Wait at least 60 seconds to operate the
front  passenger’s  airbag  ON-OFF
switch  after  turning  the  ignition
switch  from  “ON”  position  to
“LOCK” position.
The  SRS  airbag  system  is  designed  to
retain enough voltage to deploy the air-
bag.WARNING• Always remove the key from the front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch af-
ter  operating  that  switch.  Failure  to
do  so  could  lead  to  improper  position
of  the  front  passenger’s  airbag  ON-
OFF switch.To turn an airbag off  E00410600219
To turn an airbag off, follow these steps:
1.Insert the key into the key opening of the ap-
propriate  front  passenger’s  airbag  ON-OFF
switch,  and  turn  that  airbag  ON-OFF  switch
to the “OFF” position.
2. Remove the key from the key opening of the
front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch.
3. Insert  the  key  into  the  ignition  switch,  and
turn the ignition to the “ON” position.
The  front  passenger’s  airbag  OFF  indication  lamp
will  stay  on  to  show  that  the  front  passenger’s  air-
bag  is  not  operational.  ( “Front  passenger’s  airbag
OFF indication lamp” on page 2-31)

AF (Alternative Frequencies) functionE00720900061
The  AF  function  finds  a  station  broadcasting  the
same program and selects the station with the stron-
gest signal of AF lists.
The  AF  function  is  turned  on  (with  the  AF  indica-
tor  (12)  shown  on  the  display)  at  all  times  unless
you manually switch it off.
 
The AF function can be turned ON and OFF.
Refer to “Function setup mode” on page 5-21.CT (Clock Time) function E00721000131
The clock can be set automatically by using the sig-
nal  from  the  local  RDS  stations.  Refer  to  “Adjust-
ing the time” on page 3-12.
REG (Regional) function E00721100057
REG  function  limits  to  receive  the  stations  broad-
casting regional programs.
Regional  programming  and  regional  networks  are
organized  differently  depending  on  the  country  or
area  (they  may  be  changed  according  to  the  hour,
state, or broadcast area), so if you don’t want to re-
ceive the regional programs automatically, you can
set up REG ON not to receive regional programs.
 
The REG function can be turned ON and OFF.
Refer to “Function setup mode” on page 5-21.
PI (Program Identification) search function E00721200188
When travelling long distance and the recalled pre-
set  station  is  weak,  the  radio  searches  another  fre-
quency  broadcasting  the  same  programming  with
the same PI code in AF list.
If  there  are  no  frequencies  broadcasting  the  same
programming, the radio searches a frequency broad-
casting  the  regional  programming.  The  radio  suc-
ceeds  in  searching  the  regional  programming,  then
the display shows the REG indicator (11).
If  the  radio  does  not  succeed  in  searching  the  re-
gional  programming,  the  radio  returns  to  the  recal-
led preset station.PTY (Program Type) E00721300293
