Before driving
Use only floor mats designed specifically for vehicles of the same 
model and model year as your vehicle. Fix them securely in place 
onto the carpet. 
Insert the retaining hooks (clips) 
into the floor mat eyelets. 
Turn the upper knob of each 
retaining hook (clip) to secure 
the floor mats in place.
*: Always align the   marks. 
The shape of the retaining hooks (clips) may differ from that shown in the 
illustration.

WARNING
Observe the following precautions.  
Failure to do so may cause the driver’s floor mat to slip, possibly interfering 
with the pedals while driving. An unexpectedly high speed may result or it may
become difficult to stop the vehicle. This could lead to an accident, resulting in 
death or serious injury. 
■ When installing the driver’s floor mat  
● Do not use floor mats designed for other models or different model year 
vehicles, even if they are Toyota Genuine floor mats. 
● Only use floor mats designed for the driver’s seat. 
● Always install the floor mat securely using the retaining hooks (clips) pro- 
vided. 
● Do not use two or more floor mats on top of each other. 
● Do not place the floor mat bottom-side up or upside-down. 
■ Before driving
●Check that the floor mat is securely 
fixed in the correct place with all the 
provided retaining hooks (clips). Be 
especially careful to perform this check
after cleaning the floor. 
● With the hybrid system stopped and the 
shift position in P, fully depress each
pedal to the floor to make sure it does 
not interfere with the floor mat.

WARNING
Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury. 
● Do not adjust the position of the driver’s seat while driving. 
Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. 
● Do not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seatback. 
A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce
the effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint. 
● Do not place anything under the front seats. 
Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the seat
tracks and stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an acci- 
dent and the adjustment mechanism may also be damaged. 
● Always observe the legal speed limit when driving on public roads. 
● When driving over long distances, take regular breaks before you start to 
feel tired. 
Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while driving, do not force yourself to con-
tinue driving and take a break immediately.

pants by retracting the seat belts 
when the vehicle is subjected to 
certain types of severe frontal or 
side collision.
The pretensioners do not activate 
in the event of a minor frontal
impact, a minor side impact, a rear 
impact or a vehicle rollover.
