WARNING
■
Using the trunk
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in seri-
ous injury.
●Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the trunk lid before
opening it. Failure to do so may cause the trunk lid to suddenly shut again
after it is opened.
● When opening or closing the trunk lid, thoroughly check to make sure the
surrounding area is safe.
● If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that
the trunk is about to open or close.
● Use caution when opening or closing the trunk lid in windy weather as it
may move abruptly in strong wind.
● Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Toyota parts to the trunk
lid. Such additional weight on the trunk lid may cause the lid to suddenly
shut again after it is opened.
●The trunk lid may suddenly shut if it is
not opened fully. It is more difficult to
open or close the trunk lid on an
incline than on a level surface, so
beware of the trunk lid unexpectedly
opening or closing by itself. Make
sure that the trunk lid is fully open
and secure before using the trunk.
● When closing the trunk lid, take extra
care to prevent your fingers etc. from
being caught.
● When closing the trunk lid, make sure
to press it lightly on its outer surface.

WARNING
■Seat adjustment
●To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not
recline the seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply
restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the
shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of
an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpect-
edly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
● After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in position.
● Take care not to hit passengers with the seat.
When sliding the seat rearward, make sure not to squash the legs of the
rear passengers.
● When returning the seatback upright, perform seatback angle adjustment
while holding down the seatback.
● Do not pull on or use the seat belt guide to adjust or fold the front seat.
● Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid
injury. Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.
■ When driving the vehicle
Never operate the seatback angle adjustment lever or seatback fold strap.
Doing so could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■ Getting in and out of the rear seats
● When getting in or out of the rear seats, make sure not to get your hands,
legs, etc. squashed in the movable or connecting parts.
● When getting in or out of the rear seats, make sure not to trip on the seat
rails.

Front seat belt guide
To enable the seat belt to be
easily extended, pass the seat
belt through the guide.
When getting in or out of the rear
seats, release the seat belt from
the guide.
Seat belt pretensioners (front seats)The pretensioner helps the seat
belt to quickly restrain the occu-
pant by retracting the seat belt
when the vehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe frontal or
side collision or a vehicle roll-
over.
The pretensioner may not acti-
vate in the event of a minor frontal
or side impact or a rear impact.

■Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend so that you can move around fully.
■ Automatic locking retractor (ALR)
When a passenger's shoulder belt is completely extended and then
retracted even slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be
extended. This feature is used to hold the child restraint system (CRS) firmly.
To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once
more. ( →P. 116)
■ Child seat belt usage
The seat belts of your vehicle are principally designed for persons of adult
size.
●Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child
becomes large enough to properly w ear the vehicle's seat belt.
( → P. 11 2 )
● When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat
belt, follow the instructions on P. 42 regarding seat belt usage.
■ Seat belt pretensioners
●Seatbelt pretensioners are not designed to activate in a rear impact or
minor frontal or side impact.
● The following four components operate simultaneously when the vehicle
is involved in a rollover accident.
• Seat belt pretensioner for driver
• Seat belt pretensioner for front passenger
• SRS curtain shield airbag for driver’s seat side
• SRS curtain shield airbag for front passenger’s seat side

is subjected to a severe frontal collision.
• Seat belt pretensioner for driver
• Seat belt pretensioner for front passenger
• SRS front airbag for driver
• SRS front airbag for front passenger*
*: This does not operate while the occupant classification system deter- mines to deactivate the airbag operation. For details, refer to “Front pas-

● The following two components operate simultaneously when the vehicle
is subjected to a severe collision on the driver’s seat side of the vehicle.
• Seat belt pretensioner for driver

● The following two components operate simultaneously when the vehicle
is subjected to a severe collision on the front passenger’s seat side of the
vehicle.
• Seat belt pretensioner for front passenger
• Side airbag for front passenger
● Pretensioners are designed to function on a one-time-only basis. In the
event that a pretensioner is activated, both the driver’s and front passen-
ger’s seat belt retractor assemblies must be replaced only by Toyota
dealer. When replacing seat belt retractor assemblies for the front seat-
ing positions, use only genuine Toyota parts equipped with a force limiter.
● If either front seat belt does not retract or cannot be pulled out due to a
malfunction or activation of the pretensioner, contact your Toyota dealer
as soon as possible.
● If the front seat belt retractor assembly or surrounding area has been
damaged, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
● When you sell your vehicle, we urge you to explain to the buyer that it
has seat belt pretensioners by alerting the buyer to the contents of this
section.
■ Replacing the belt after the pr etensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate
for the first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent colli-
sions.
