3. Hold the hood open by inserting the
support rod into the slot.
To insert the support rod into the slot,
move it as shown in the illustration. If it
is moved to the side or toward the outside
of the vehicle, it may become detached.
Before closing the hood, check to see that
you have not forgotten any tools, rags,
etc. and return the support rod to its
clip—this prevents rattles. Then lower the
hood and make sure it locks into place.
If necessary, press down gently on the
front edge to lock it.
CAUTION
After inserting the support rod into
the slot, make sure the rod supports
the hood securely from falling down
on to your head or body.
NOTICE
Be sure to return the support rod to
its clip before closing the hood.
Otherwise, it may cause a damage to
the support rod or hood.

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.

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.

CAUTION
DAdjustments should not be made
while the vehicle is moving.
DAvoid reclining the seatback any
more than needed. The seat belts
provide maximum protection in a
frontal or rear collision when the
driver and the front passenger are
sitting up straight and well back in
the seats. If you are reclined, the
lap belt may slide past your hips
and apply restraint forces directly
to the abdomen or your neck may
contact the shoulder belt. In the
event of a frontal collision, the
more the seat is reclined, the great-
er the risk of death or serious inju-
ry.
DAfter adjusting the seatback, push
back your body to make sure it is
locked in position.
MS13010a
For easy access to the rear seat:
1. Pull the seatback angle adjusting lever.
2. Move the seat to the front−most posi-
tion with pushing the seatback.
Once the passengers are in, lift up the
seatback and return the seat to its locked
position.
CAUTION
DAfter putting back the seat, try
pushing the seat forward and rear-
ward to make sure it is secured in
place.
DNever allow anyone to pull the seat-
back angle adjusting lever while the
vehicle is moving.

Also take care due to avoid catching the
shoulder belt in the rear seatback when
returning it to the upright position.
CAUTION
The seat belt must be removed from
the hole when the seat belt is in use.

CAUTION
DDo not allow sitting on top of a
folded−down seatback, in the lug-
gage compartment or cargo area.
DWhen returning seats to their origi-
nal position make sure the seat is
securely locked by pushing forward
and rearward on the top of the
seatback. Failure to do so will pre-
vent seat belt from operating prop-
erly.
DMake sure the seat belts are not
twisted or caught in the seatback or
under the bottom cushion, and are
arranged in their proper position
and are ready to use.

Rear seats
For your safety and comfort, adjust the
head restraint before driving.
To raise: Pull it up.
To lower: Push it down while pressing the
lock release button.
Rear head restraints—
When an occupant sits on the rear seat,
always pull up the rear head restraint to
the lock position.
The head restraint is most effective when
it is close to your head. Therefore, using
a cushion on the seatback is not recom-
mended.
CAUTION
DAdjust the center of the head re-
straint so that it is closest to the
top of your ears.
DUse the head restraint designed for
each respective seat.
DAfter adjusting the head restraint,
make sure it is locked in position.
DDo not drive with the head re-
straints removed.

DInspect the belt system periodically.
Check for cuts, fraying, and loose
parts. Damaged parts should be re-
placed. Do not disassemble or mo-
dify the system.
DKeep the belts clean and dry. If
they need cleaning, use a mild soap
solution or lukewarm water. Never
use bleach, dye, or abrasive clean-
ers, or allow them to come into
contact with the belts—they may
severely weaken the belts. (See
“Cleaning the interior” on page 250
in Section 5.)
DReplace the belt assembly (includ-
ing bolts) if it has been used in a
severe impact. The entire assembly
should be replaced even if damage
is not obvious.
DDo not allow children to play with
the seat belt. If the seat belt be-
comes twisted around a child’s
neck, it may lead to choking or oth-
er serious injuries that could result
in death. If this occurs and the
buckle cannot be unfastened, scis-
sors should be used to cut the belt.
MS13090
Ta b
Buckle
Adjust the seat as needed and sit up
straight and well back in the seat. To
fasten your belt, pull it out of the re-
tractor and insert the tab into the
buckle.
You will hear a click when the tab locks
into the buckle.
The seat belt length automatically adjusts
to your size and the seat position.
The retractor will lock the belt during a
sudden stop or on impact. It also may
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A
slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend, and you can move around freely.
If the seat belt cannot be pulled out of the
retractor, firmly pull the belt and release
it. You will then be able to smoothly pull
the belt out of the retractor.
CAUTION
DAfter inserting the tab, make sure
the tab and buckle are locked and
that the belt is not twisted.
DDo not insert coins, clips, etc. in
the buckle as this may prevent you
from properly latching the tab and
buckle.
