1-1. Seats
The front seats are electrically heated. The ignition must be switched
ON.
Press the seat warmer switch to
illuminate the indicator light while
the ignition is switched ON. The
mode changes as follows each
time the seat warmer switch is

OFF
High
Mid
Low
●If the ignition is switched off while the seat warmer is operating (High, Mid or
Low) and then switched ON again, the seat warmer will automatically oper-
ate at the temperature set before switching off the ignition.
● Use the seat warmer when the engine is running. Leaving the seat warmer
on for long periods with the engine not running could cause the battery
power to be depleted.
● The temperature of the seat warmer cannot be adjusted beyond High, Mid
and Low because the seat warmer is controlled by a thermostat.

cated below, and could cause a low-temperature burn.
● Infants, small babies, elderly people, and physically challenged people
● People with delicate skin
● People who are excessively fatigued
● People who are intoxicated
● People who have taken sleep-inducing medicine such as sleeping pills or
cold medicine
■ Do not use the seat warm er with anything having high moisture-reten-
tion ability such as a blanket or cushion on the seat

311-2. Seat Belt Systems
1
Essential Safety Equipment
WARNING
■Do not wear twisted seat belts
Twisted seat belts are dangerous. In a collision, the full width of the belt is
not available to absorb the impact. This puts more force on the bones
beneath the belt, which could cause serious injury or death. So, if your seat
belt is twisted, you must straighten the seat belt to remove any twists and to
allow the full width of the belt to be used.
■ Never use one seat belt on more than one person at a time
Using one seat belt for more than one person at a time is dangerous. A seat
belt used in this way cannot spread the impact forces properly and the two
passengers could be crushed together and seriously injured or even killed.
Never use one belt for more than one person at a time and always operate
the vehicle with each occupant properly restrained.
■ Do not operate a vehicle with a damaged seat belt
Using a damaged seat belt is dangerous. An accident could damage the
belt webbing of the seat belt in use. A damaged seat belt cannot provide
adequate protection in a collision. Have your Toyota dealer inspect all seat
belt systems in use during an accident before they are used again.
■ Have your seat belts changed immediately if the pretensioner or load
limiter has been expended
Always have your Toyota dealer immediately inspect the seat belt preten-
sioners and air bags after any collision. Like the air bags, the seat belt pre-
tensioners and load limiters will only function once and must be replaced
after any collision that caused them to deploy. A seat belt with an expended
pretensioner or load limiter is still better than wearing no seat belt at all;
however, if the seat belt pretensioners and load limiters are not replaced,
the risk of injury in a collision will increase.
■ Positioning the Shoulder Po rtion of the Seat Belt
Improper positioning of the shoulder portion of the seat belt is dangerous.
Always make sure the shoulder portion of the seat belt is positioned across
your shoulder and near your neck, but never under your arm, on your neck,
or on your upper arm.
■ Positioning the Lap Portion of the Seat Belt
The lap portion of the seat belt worn too high is dangerous. In a collision,
this would concentrate the impact force directly on the abdominal area,
causing serious injury. Wear the lap portion of the belt snugly and as low as
possible.

Before Driving
Immobilizer System
If someone attempts to start the engine with an unrecognized key, the
engine will not start, thereby helping to prevent vehicle theft.
If you have a problem with the immobilizer system or the key, consult
your Toyota dealer.
● The keys carry a unique electronic code. For this reason, and to assure your
safety, obtaining a replacement key requires some waiting time. They are
only available through your Toyota dealer.
● Always keep a spare key in case one is lost. If a key is lost, consult your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
● If you lose a key, your Toyota dealer will reset the electronic codes of your
remaining keys and immobilizer system. Bring all the remaining keys to your
Toyota dealer to reset.
Starting the vehicle with a key that has not been reset is not possible.
The immobilizer system allows the engine to start only with a
key the system recognizes.
NOTICE
●Radio equipment like this is governed by laws in the United States.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
● To avoid damage to the key, do not:
• Drop the key.
• Get the key wet.
• Expose the key to any kind of magnetic field.
• Expose the key to high temperatures on places such as the dashboard
or hood, under direct sunlight.
● If the engine does not start with the correct key, and the security indicator
light keeps illuminating or flashing, the system may have a malfunction.
Consult your Toyota dealer.

When Driving
■Current fuel economy mode
Current fuel economy will be calculated and displayed every 2 sec-
onds.
When you’ve slowed to about 3 mph (5 km/h), - - - mpg (- - - L/100
km) will be displayed.
■Average vehicle speed mode
Average vehicle speed will be calculated and displayed every 10
seconds.
To clear the data being displayed, press the INFO button for more
than 1.5 seconds.
After pressing the INFO button, - - - mph (- - - km/h) will be dis-
played for about 1 minute before the vehicle speed is recalculated
and displayed.
■ Distance-to-empty mode
●Even though the distance-to-empty display may indicate a sufficient amount
of remaining driving distance before refueling is required, refuel as soon as
possible if the fuel level is very low or the low fuel warning light illuminates.
● The display may not change unless you add more than approximately 2.3
gal. (9 L, 1.9 Imp.gal.) of fuel.
● The distance-to-empty is the approximate remaining distance the vehicle
can be driven until all the graduation marks in the fuel gauge (indicating the
remaining fuel supply) disappear.
● If there is no past fuel economy information such as after first purchasing
your vehicle or the information is deleted when the battery cables are dis-
connected, the actual distance-to empty/range may differ from the amount
indicated.
This mode displays the current fuel economy
by calculating the amount of fuel consumption
and the distance traveled.
This mode displays th e average vehicle speed
by calculating the distance and the time trav-
eled since connecting the battery or resetting
the data.
