DWhen closing the back door, take
extra care to prevent your fingers

surface. If the back door strap is
used to fully close the back door,
it may result in hands or arms be-
ing caught.
DDo not pull on the back door damp-
er stay to close the back door, and

DIf a bicycle carrier or similar heavy
object is attached to the back door,
it may fall closed again after being
opened, causing someone’s hands,
head or neck to be caught and in-
jured. When installing anaccessory
part to the back door, using a gen-
uine Toyota part is recommended.

Failure to do so may cause damage
to the back door damper stay,
resulting in malfunction.

3. Turn the cap slowly counterclock-
wise, then pause slightly before re-
moving it. After removing the cap,
hang it on the cap hanger.
It is not unusual to hear a slight swoosh
when the cap is opened. When installing,
turn the cap clockwise till you hear a
click. (No key is required.)
CAUTION
DMake sure the cap is installed se-
curely to prevent fuel spillage in
the event of an accident.
DDue to the regulation of fuel tank
pressure that these caps provide,
Toyota recommends the use of a
genuine Toyota fuel tank cap.
Another fuel tank cap of matching
quality can also be used.
DWhen opening the cap, do not re-
move the cap quickly. In hot weath-
er, fuel under pressure could cause
injury by spraying out of the filler
neck if the cap is suddenly re-
moved.

42OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
Seats
While the vehicle is being driven, all ve-
hicle occupants should have the seatback
upright, sit well back in the seat and prop-
erly wear the seat belts provided.
CAUTION
DDo not drive the vehicle unless the
occupants are properly seated. Do
not allow any occupants to sit on
top of a folded−down seatback, or
in the luggage compartment or car-
go area. If the occupants are im-
properly seated or restrained by
seat belts, death or serious injury
could result in the event of emer-
gency braking, sudden swerving or
an accident.
DDuring driving, do not allow any
passengers to stand up or move
around between seats. Otherwise,
death or serious injuries can occur
in the event of emergency braking,
sudden swerving or an accident.
Driver seat
CAUTION
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.
Since the risk zone for driver airbag
is the first 50—75 mm (2—3 in.) of
inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10
in.) from your driver airbag provides
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 250
mm (10 in.) away now, you can
change your driving position in sever-
al ways:
DMove your seat to the rear as far
as you can while still reaching the
pedals comfortably.
DSlightly recline the back of the
seat. Although vehicle designs vary,
many drivers can achieve the 250
mm (10 in.) 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 by using a
firm, non−slippery cushion, or raise
the seat if your vehicle has that
feature.
DIf 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 rec-
ommended above, while still maintain-
ing control of the foot pedals, steer-
ing wheel, and your view of the in-
strument panel controls.

44OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
CAUTION
DDo not adjust the seat while the
vehicle is moving as the seat may
unexpectedly move and cause the
driver to lose control of the vehicle.
DBe careful that the seat does not
hit a passenger, luggage or the rear
seat.
DAfter adjusting the seat position, re-
lease the lever and try sliding the
seat forward and backward to make
sure it is locked in position.
DMake sure the seatback is securely
locked by pushing forward and rear-
ward on the top of the seatback.
Failure to do so will prevent the
seat belt from operating properly.
DDo not put objects under the seats.
Otherwise, the objects may interfere
with the seat−lock mechanism or
unexpectedly push up the seat posi-
tion adjusting lever and the seat
may suddenly move, causing the
driver to lose control of the vehicle.
DWhile adjusting the seat, do not put
your hands under the seat or near
the moving parts. Otherwise, your
hands or fingers may be caught and
injured.

The seat belt pretensionersystem con-
sists mainly of the following components
and their locations are shown in the il-
lustration.
1. SRS warning light
2. Airbag sensor assembly
3. Seat belt pretensioner assemblies
The seat belt pretensioners are controlled
by the airbag sensor assembly. The airbag
sensor assembly consists of a safing sen-
sor and airbag sensor.
When the seat belt pretensioners are acti-
vated, an operating noise may be heard
and a small amount of non−toxic gas may
be released. This does not indicate that
a fire is occurring. This gas is normally
harmless.
Once the seat belt pretensioners have
been activated, the seat belt retractors
remain locked.
If the vehicle is involved in multiple colli-
sions, the pretensioner will activate for the
first collision, but will not activate for the
second or subsequent collisions.
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of injury in the event
of sudden braking or an accident.
Failure to do so may cause death or
severe injury.
DIf the pretensioner has activated,
the SRS warning light will come on.
In that case, the seat belt cannot
be used again and must be re-
placed at any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
DDo not modify, remove, strike or
open the seat belt pretensioner as-
semblies, airbag sensor or sur-
rounding area or wiring. Consult
any authorized Toyota dealer or re-
pairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional about any re-
pair and modification.
