Safety mechanism
E00303800029
If
a hand or head is trapped in the closing sunroof,
it will reopen automatically.
Nonetheless, make sure that nobody puts their head
or hand out of the sunroof when opening or closing.
The opened sunroof will become operational after
a few seconds.

If the safety mechanism is activated 5 or more
times consecutively or the switch (1) is kept press-
ed for 10 seconds or longer with the sunroof station-
ary in the fully tilted up position, normal closing of
the sunroof will be aborted. In such an event, you
should take the following steps: 1. Press the switch (1) repeatedly until the sun-roof has been fully tilt up.
2. Once the fully tilt up position has been reached, press again and hold the switch (1)
for at least 3 seconds.
3. After pressing the switch (3) to perform full opening, press the switch (2) to fully close
the sunroof.
NOTE l The safety mechanism can be activated if the
driving conditions or other circumstances
cause the sunroof to be subjected to a physi-
cal shock similar to that caused by a trapped
hand or head.
l Avoid stopping the sunroof before it reaches
the opening or closing end during operations.
If this should accidentally happen, repeat the
process from step 1. CAUTION
l
The
safety mechanism is cancelled just be-
fore the sunroof is fully closed. This al-
lows the sunroof to close completely.
Therefore be especially careful that no fin-
gers are trapped in the sunroof.
4. Following
this action, it should be possible
to operate the sunroof in the normal manner.
Sunshade E00307900044
Slide the sunshade manually to open and close it. CAUTION
l
Be
careful that hands are not trapped
when closing the sunshade.
NOTE l The

sunshade will operate together with the
sunroof when the sunroof is opened. l
Be
sure to tilt down the sunroof before clos-
ing the sunshade.
l The sunshade cannot be closed with the sun-
roof opened. Do not attempt to close the sun-
shade when the sunroof is opened. WARNING
l Do
not put head, hands or anything else
out of the sunroof opening while driving
the vehicle.
l Never leave a child (or other person who
might not be capable of safe operation of
the sunroof switch) in the vehicle alone.
l Before operating the sunroof, make sure
that nothing is capable of being trapped
(head, hand, finger, etc.).
NOTE l The

sunroof stops just before reaching the
fully open position.
If the vehicle is driven with the sunroof in
this position, wind throb is lower than with
the sunroof fully open.
l When leaving the vehicle unattended, make
sure you close the sunroof and remove the ig-
nition key.
l Do not try to operate the sunroof if it is fro-
zen closed (after snow fall or during extreme
cold).

roof or roof opening edge.
l Release the switch as soon as the sunroof rea-
ches the fully open or fully closed position. Locking and unlocking

Seat adjustment
E00400300200
Adjust
the driver’s seat so that you are comfortable
and that you can reach the pedals, steering wheel,
switches etc. while retaining a clear field of vision. WARNING
l Do
not attempt to adjust the seat while
driving. This can cause loss of vehicle con-
trol and result in an accident. After ad-
justments are made, ensure the seating is
locked in position by attempting to move
the seat forward and rearward without us-
ing the adjusting mechanism.
l It is extremely dangerous to ride in the
cargo area (inside or outside) of a vehicle.
Also, the cargo area and rear seats should
never be used as a play area by children.
In a collision, people or children riding un-
restrained in these areas are more likely
to be seriously injured or killed.
Do not allow people or children to ride in
any area of your vehicle that is not equip-
ped with seats and seat belts, and make
sure that everyone travelling in your vehi-
cle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt, or
in the case of a child is strapped in a child
restraint. WARNING
l To
minimize the risk of personal injury
in the event of a collision or sudden brak-
ing, the seatbacks should always be in the
almost upright position while the vehicle
is in motion. The protection provided by
the seat belts may be reduced significant-
ly when the seatback is reclined. There is
greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the seat belt, resulting in serious in-
jury, when the seatback is reclined. CAUTION
l
Make
sure the seat is adjusted by an
adult or with adult supervision for cor-
rect and safe operation.
l Do not place a cushion or the like be-
tween your back and the seatback while
driving. The effectiveness of the head re-
straints will be reduced in the event of an
accident.
l When sliding the seats, be careful not to
catch your hand or foot.
l When sliding or reclining the seat rear-
ward, pay careful attention to the rear
seat passengers. (Double cab and Club
cab) Front seat

When the lever or pedal is used, the seatback will
tilt
forward and at the same time the entire seat will
move forward. To return the seat, slide the entire
seat rearward and then raise the seatback rearward
to lock the seat in position. WARNING
l Do not drive the vehicle with the seatback
folded

forward. The seat is not retained
position if it is not kept in an upright posi-
tion, so serious injuries could be suffered
in the event of hard braking or a collision. CAUTION
l
The
reclining mechanism of the seatback
is spring loaded, causing it to return to
the vertical position when the lock lever
is operated. When using the lever, sit
close to the seatback or hold it with your
hand.
l Use a foot to operate the pedal (2).
Folding the seatback forward (Single
cab, passenger’s seat)* E00410400031
To access the onboard tool kit, fold forward the seat-
back of the passenger’s seat.

Heated seats*
E00401100784
The heated seats can be operated with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position. 1 (HI)- Heater high (for quick heating).
2- Heater off.
3 (LO)- Heater low (to keep the seat warm).
The indication lamp (A) will illuminate while the
heater is on. CAUTION
l
Switch off seat heaters when not in use.
l Operate

in the high position for quick heat-
ing. Once the seat is warm, set the heater
to low to keep it warm. Slight variations
in seat temperature may be felt while us-
ing the heated seats. This is caused by the
operation of the heater’s internal thermo-
stat and does not indicate a malfunction.
l If the following types of persons use the
heated seats, they might become too hot
or receive minor burns (red skin, heat blis-
ters, etc.):
• Children, elderly or ill people
• People with sensitive skin
• Excessively tired people
• People under the influence of alcoholor sleep inducing medication (cold
medicine, etc.)
l Do not place heavy objects on the seat or
stick pins, needles, or other pointed ob-
jects into it.
l Do not use a blanket, cushion, or other ma-
terial with high heat insulation properties
on the seat while using the heater; this
might cause the heater element to overheat
l When cleaning the seat, do not use ben-
zene, kerosene, petrol, alcohol, or other or-
ganic solvents; these might damage the
surface of the seat and also the heater ele-
ment.
l If water or any other liquid is spilled on
the seat, allow it to dry thoroughly before
attempting to use the heater.
l Turn the heater off immediately if it ap-
pears to be malfunctioning during use. Seat and seat belts

CAUTION
l
If your vehicle is equipped with the rear
seat head restraint, the head restraints
for the front and rear seats differ in size.
When installing head restraints, make
sure the front and rear head restraints
are fitted in their respective seats. Seat belts
E00404800825
To

protect you and your passengers in the event of
an accident, it is most important that the seat belts
are worn correctly while driving.
A seat belt for a front seat equipped with an airbag
has a pretensioner system. These belts are used the
same way as a conventional seat belt.
Refer to “Seat belt pretensioner system and force
limiter system” on page 2-12 . WARNING
l Always
place the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never
put it behind you or under your arm.
l One seat belt should be used by only one
person. Doing otherwise can be dangerous.
l The seat belt will provide its wearer with
maximum protection if the recliner seat-
back is placed in fully upright position.
When the seatback is reclined, there is
greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the belt, especially in a forward im-
pact accident, and may be injured by the
belt or by striking the instrument panel
or seatbacks.
l Seat belts should always be worn by ev-
ery adult who drives or rides in this vehi-
cle, and by all children who are tall
enough to wear seat belts properly.
l Remove any twists when using the belt.
l No modifications or additions should be
made by the user which will either pre-
vent the seat belt adjusting devices from
operating to remove slack, or prevent the
seat belt assembly from being adjusted to
remove slack. WARNING
l To
reduce risk of serious or fatal injury
in an accident, including the deploying
driver’s airbag, adjust the driver’s seat
as far back as possible while maintaining
a position that still allows good visibility
and good control of the steering wheel,
the brake and accelerator, and vehicle con-
trols.
l Never hold a child in your arms or on
your lap when riding in this vehicle, even
if you are wearing your seat belt. To do
so risks severe or fatal injury to the child
in a collision or sudden stop.
l Always adjust the seat belt to a snug fit. 3-point type seat belt (with emergency
locking mechanism)
E00404901126
This type of belt requires no length adjustment.
Once

worn, the belt adjusts itself to the movement
of the wearer, but in the event of a sudden or strong
shock, the belt automatically locks to hold the wear-
er’s body. Seat and seat belts
