WARNING
43)All adjustments must only be carried
out with the vehicle stationary and the
engine off. Head restraints must be
adjusted so that the head, rather than the
neck, rests on them. Only in this case can
they protect your head correctly. To take
best advantage of the protection provided
by the head restraint, adjust the seat back
so that you are sitting up straight and your
head is as close to the head restraint as
possible.
44)Driving without the head restraints in
place can cause you and your passengers
serious injury or death in an accident. To
reduce the risk of injury in an accident,
always make sure the head restraints are
installed and properly positioned when the
seat is occupied.45)Never place a cushion or similar device
on the seatback. This can adversely affect
head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your head and the
restraint.
46)When a person sits in the middle
seating position of the rear seat, pull up the
head restraint to a height at which it locks
in position. Be sure to make this
adjustment before starting to drive. Serious
injuries could otherwise be suffered in the
result of an impact (Double cab).
47)Make sure that the height adjusting
knob (A) is correctly adjusted as shown in
the illustration, and also lift the head
restraints to ensure that they do not come
out of the seatback.
48)The shape and size of the head
restraint differs according to the seat.
Always use the correct head restraint
provided for the seat and do not install the
head restraint in the wrong direction.

WARNING
49)Do not attempt to adjust the steering
wheel while you are driving the vehicle.
50)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device). This could badly affect
performance and safety, invalidate the
warranty and also result in the
non-compliance of the vehicle with
approval requirements.
IMPORTANT
11)Remove the key when leaving the
vehicle. In some countries, it is prohibited
to leave the key on the vehicle when
parked.
12)When the following operation is
performed with the operation mode in OFF,
the steering wheel is locked: 1 – open or
close the driver’s door. 2 – Close all the
doors. 3 – Open one of the doors when all
the doors are closed. 4 – Lock all the doors
with the keyless entry system or the keyless
operation function. 5 – The selector lever is
the “P” (PARK) position (A/T).
13)When the door is opened while the
steering wheel does not lock, the buzzer
sounds to alert the steering wheel is
unlocked.14)If the engine is stopped while driving,
do not open a door or press the LOCK
switch on the key until the vehicle stops in
a safe place. This could cause the steering
wheel to lock, making it impossible to
operate the vehicle.
15)Carry the key with you when leaving the
vehicle. If your vehicle needs to be towed,
perform the following operation to unlock
the steering wheel: on vehicles with M/T,
put the operation mode in ACC or ON, on

position. [Vehicles equipped with the
keyless operation system] Put the
operation mode in ON or ACC.
NOTE Automatically retract when the
ignition switch is turned to the “LOCK”
position or the operation mode is put in
OFF, and the driver’s door is then
opened.
NOTE Automatically extend when the
vehicle speed reaches 30 km/h.
(vehicles equipped with the keyless
entry key or the keyless operation key)
NOTE Deactivate the automatic
extension function.
WARNING
51)As the driver's exterior mirror is curved,
it may slightly alter the perception of
distance of the reflected image. Further, the
reflective surface of the lower part of the
exterior mirrors is parabolic to increase the
field of view. The reflected image size is
thus reduced and gives the impression that
the reflected item is further away than it
actually is.
52)Do not attempt to adjust the rear-view
mirror while driving. This can be
dangerous. Always adjust the mirror before
driving.53)Your vehicle is equipped with convex
type mirrors. Remind that objects that you
see in the mirror will look smaller and
farther away compared to a normal flat
mirror. Do not use this mirror to estimate
distance of following vehicles when
changing lanes.
54)Do not drive the vehicle with the mirror
folded in. The lack of rearward visibility
normally provided by the mirror could lead
to an accident.
IMPORTANT
16)It is possible to retract and extend the
mirrors by hand. After retracting a mirror
using the mirror retractor switch, however,
you should extend it by using the switch
again, not by hand. If you extended the
mirror by hand after retracting it using the
switch, it would not properly lock in
position. As a result, it could move because
of the wind or vibration while you are
driving, taking away your rearward visibility.

headlamps’ glare does not distract the
drivers of approaching vehicles. Set the
switch (referring to the following table)
to the appropriate position according to
the number of people and the load in
the vehicle.
NOTE When adjusting the beam
position, first put the dial in the “0”
