dow, it will lower automatically.
Nonetheless, make sure that nobody puts
their head or hand out of the window when
closing the driver’s door window.

al after a few seconds.
WARNINGl If the battery terminals are disconnected
or the fuse for electric window is replaced,
the safety mechanism will be cancelled. If a hand or head got trapped, a serious injury could result.CAUTIONl The safety mechanism is cancelled just be-
fore the window is fully closed. This allows the window to close completely. Therefore be especially careful that no fingers are trap-
ped in the window.
l The safety mechanism is deactivated while
the switch is pulled up. Therefore be espe-
cially careful that fingers are not trapped in the door window opening.NOTEl The safety mechanism can be activated if the
driving conditions or other circumstancescause the driver’s door window to be subjec- ted to a physical shock similar to that caused
by a trapped hand or head.
l If the safety mechanism is activated five or
more times in a row, the safety mechanism
will be cancelled and the door window will not close correctly.
In such a case, the following procedure
should be implemented to rectify this situa- tion. If the window is open, repeatedly raise
the driver’s door window switch until that window has been fully closed. Following
this, release the switch, raise the switch once
again and hold it in this condition for at least
1 second, then release it. You should now be able to operate in the normal fashion.

driver’s door window switch until the win-
dow has been fully closed. Following this, release the switch, raise the switch once again and hold it in this condition for at least
1 second, then release it. You should now be able to operate the driver’s door window in
the normal fashion.

Seat adjustmentE00400301887
Adjust the driver’s seat so that you are com- fortable and that you can reach the pedals,
steering wheel, switches etc. while retaining a clear field of vision.WARNINGl 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
using 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 ridingunrestrained in these areas are more like- ly to be seriously injured or killed.
l 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.WARNINGl To minimize the risk of personal injury in
the event of a collision or sudden braking,the seatbacks should always be in the al- most upright position while the vehicle is
in motion. The protection provided by the seat belts may be reduced significantly 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.
l Do not place objects under the seats. This
could prevent the seat from locking se-
curely, and it could lead to an accident. It may also cause damage to the seat or oth-
er parts.CAUTIONl Make sure the seat is adjusted by an adult or
with adult supervision for correct and safe operation.
l Do not place a cushion or the like between
your back and the seatback while driving.The effectiveness of the head restraints will
be reduced in the event of an accident.
l The reclining mechanism of the front man-
ual seat’s seatback is spring loaded, causing
it to fold the seatback forward when the lock lever is operated. When using the lever, sit close to the seatback or hold it with yourhand to control its return motion.
l When sliding the seats, be careful not to
catch your hand or foot.CAUTIONl If your vehicle is equipped with the rear
seat, when sliding or reclining the seat rear- ward, pay careful attention to the rear seat
passengers. (Club cab and Double cab)Front seats
