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.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS43
Front passenger seat
CAUTION
The SRS front passenger airbag also
deploys with considerable force, and
can cause death or serious injury es-
pecially if the front passenger is very
close to the airbag. The front passen-
ger seat should be as far from the
airbag as possible with the seatback
adjusted, so the front passenger sits
upright.
Front seats (with SRS side airbags)
CAUTION
The SRS side airbags are installed in
the driver and front passenger seats.
Observe the following precautions.
DDo not lean against the front door
when the vehicle is in use, since
the side airbag inflates with consid-
erable speed and force. Otherwise,
you may be killed or seriously in-
jured.
DDo not use seat accessories which
cover the area where the side air-
bags inflate. Such accessories may
prevent the side airbags from acti-
vating correctly, causing death or
serious injury.
DDo not modify or replace the seats
or upholstery of the seats with side
airbags. Such change may prevent
the side airbag system from
activating correctly, disable the
system or cause the side airbags to
inflate accidentally, resulting in
death or serious injury.
Adjust the driver ’s seat so that the foot
pedals, steering wheel and instrument
panel controls are within easy reach of
the driver.

DDo not put anything or any part of
your body on or in front of the
dashboard or steering wheel pad
that houses the front airbag sys-
tem. They might restrict inflation or
cause death or serious injury as
they are projected rearward by the
force of the deploying airbags. Like-
wise, the driver and front passenger
should not hold objects in their
arms or on their knees.
DDo not modify or remove any wir-
ing. Do not modify, remove, strike
or open any components such as
the steering wheel pad, steering
wheel, column cover, front passen-
ger airbag cover, front passenger
airbag or airbag sensor assembly.
Doing so may prevent the front air-
bag system from activating correct-
ly, cause sudden activation of the
system or disable the system,
which could result in death or seri-
ous injury.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death or serious injury.
Consult any authorized Toyota dealer
or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional, about any
repair and modification.
NOTICE
Do not perform any of the following
changes without consulting any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped
professional. Such changes can inter-
fere with proper operation of the SRS
front airbag system in some cases.

MS13019
To change the steering wheel angle,
hold the steering wheel, push down the
lock release lever, tilt the steering
wheel to the desired angle and return
the lever to its original position.
CAUTION
DDo not adjust the steering wheel
while the vehicle is moving. Doing
so may cause the driver to mishan-
dle the vehicle and an accident may
occur resulting in death or serious
injuries.
DAfter adjusting the steering wheel,
try moving it up and down to make
sure it is locked in position.
INFORMATION
Vehicles with electric power steering
system:
When the steering wheel is turned, a
motor operating sound (whining
sound) may be heard. This occurs
when the power steering motor works
and is not defective.
MS13020
Adjust the mirror so that you can just
see the side of your vehicle in the mir-
ror.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the mirror while the
vehicle is moving. Doing so may
cause the driver to mishandle the ve-
hicle and an accident may occur re-
sulting in death or serious injuries.

4. If the coolant is leaking, stop the en-
gine immediately. Call any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped profession-
al, for assistance.
5. If there are no obvious leaks, check
the coolant reservoir. If it is dry, add
coolant to the reservoir while the
engine is running. Fill it about half full.
For the coolant type see “Coolant type
selection” on page 267 in Section 7−2.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap when the engine and radiator are
hot. Serious injury could result from
scalding hot fluid and steam blown
out under pressure.
6. After the engine coolant temperature
has cooled to normal, again check the
coolant level in the reservoir. If
necessary, bring it up to half full again.
Serious coolant loss indicates a leak in
the system. You should have it
checked as soon as possible at any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped
professional.1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping
a straight line. Move cautiously off the
road to a safe place well away from
the traffic. Avoid stopping on the center
divider of a highway. Park on a level
spot with firm ground.
2. Stop the engine and turn on your
emergency flashers.
3.Manual transmission:
Firmly set the parking brake and put
the transmission in reverse.
Multi−mode manual transmission:
Securely apply the parking brake and
turn the engine switch “ON”. After the
operation, shift the shift lever to “M(1)”,
“E(1)” or “R”.
4. Have everyone get out of the vehicle

5. Read the following instructions thor-
oughly.
CAUTION
When jacking, be sure to observe the
following to help reduce the possibil-
ity of death or serious injury:
DFollow jacking instructions.
DDo not put any part of your body
under a vehicle supported by a
jack. Otherwise, death or serious
injury may occur.
DDo not start or run the engine while
your vehicle is supported by the
jack.
DStop the vehicle on a level firm
ground, firmly set the parking brake
and put the transmission in reverse.
Block the wheel diagonally opposite
to the one being changed if neces-
sary.

DMake sure to set the jack properly
in the jack point. Raising the ve-
hicle with the jack improperly posi-
tioned will damage the vehicle or
may allow the vehicle to fall off the

jury.
DNever get under the vehicle when
the vehicle is supported by the jack
alone.
DUse the jack only for lifting your
vehicle during wheel changing.
DDo not raise the vehicle with any-
one in the vehicle.
DWhen raising the vehicle, do not
place any objects on top of or un-
derneath the jack.
DRaise the vehicle only high enough
to remove and change the tire.
NOTICE
Do not continue driving with a de-
flated tire. Driving even a short dis-
tance can damage the tire and wheel
beyond repair.

cause personal injury.
DNever get under the vehicle when
the vehicle is supported by the
floor jack alone; use vehicle sup-
port stands.
DDo not raise the vehicle with any-
one in the vehicle.
DWhen raising the vehicle, do not
place any objects on top of or un-
derneath the floor jack.
NOTICE
