PRIUS +_OM_OM47D30E_(EE)
For safe driving
Adjust the angle of the seat- 
back so that you are sitting 
straight up and so that you do 
not have to lean forward to 
steer. ( P. 187) 
Adjust the seat so that you can 
depress the pedals fully and so 
that your arms bend slightly at 
the elbow when gripping the
steering wheel. ( P. 187) 
Lock the head restraint in place with the center of the head restraint 
closest to the top of your ears. ( P. 199) 
Wear the seat belt correctly. ( P.  3 8 ) 
Make sure that all occupants are wearing their seat belts before driv- 
ing the vehicle. ( P.  3 8 ) 
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child 
becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.  
( P.  5 9 ) 
Make sure that you can see backward clearly by adjusting the inside 
and outside rear view mirrors properly. ( P. 204, 206)
For safe driving, adjust the seat and mirror to an appropriate 
position before driving.

WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions 
Observe the following precautions regarding the SRS airbags.  
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury. 
● The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts 
properly.
The SRS airbags are supplemental devic es to be used with the seat belts. 
● The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause 
death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag. 
Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 50 - 75 mm (2 - 3 in.) 
of inflation, placing yourself 250 mm ( 10 in.) from your driver airbag pro- 
vides you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured from
the center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than 
250 mm (10 in.) away now, you can change your driving position in sev- 
eral ways: 
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the ped- 
als comfortably. 
• Slightly recline the back of the seat. 
Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 250 mm 
(10 in.) distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward, simply by 
reclining the back of the seat somewhat. If reclining the back of your
seat makes it hard to see the road, raise yourself by using a firm, non- 
slippery cushion, or raise the seat if your vehicle has that feature. 
• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the air-
bag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as recommended above, while still maintaining 
control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instrument 
panel controls. 
● The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and 
can cause death or serious injury especially if the front passenger is very 
close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far from the air-
bag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits 
upright. 
● Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or 
seriously injured by a deploying airbag. An infant or child who is too small 
to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint sys- 
tem. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in
the rear seats of the vehicle and proper ly restrained. The rear seats are 
safer for infants and children than the front passenger seat. ( P. 59)
