Seat Precautions
When  returning a rear  seat  to its original  position,  place the seat belt
in its normal position. Verify t hat the seat belt pulls out and  retracts.
WARNING
■Make sure the adjustable components of a seat are locked in place
Adjustable seats and seatbacks that are not securely locked are  dangerous.
In  a  sudden  stop  or  collision,  the  seat  or  seatback  could  move,  causing
injury. Make sure the adjustable components of the seat are loc ked in place
by attempting to slide the seat forward and backward and rocking the seat-
back.
■ Never allow children to adjust a seat
Allowing  children  to  adjust  a  seat  is  dangerous  as  it  could  res ult  in  serious
injury if a child’s hands or feet become caught in the seat.
■ Do not drive with t he seatback unlocked
All  of  the  seatbacks  play  an  important  role  in  your  protection  in  a  vehicle.
Leaving the seatback unlocked is dangerous as it can allow passengers to
be  ejected  or  thrown  around  and  baggage  to  strike  occupants  in  a  sudden
stop  or  collision,  resulting  in  severe  injury. After  adjusting  the  seatback  at
any  time,  even  when  there  are  no  other  passengers,  rock  the  seatback  to
make sure it is locked in place.
■ Adjust a seat only when the vehicle is stopped
If the seat is adjusted while the vehicle is being driven, the  seating posture
may  become  unstable  and  the  seat  could  move  unexpectedly  result ing  in
injury.
■ Do not modify or replace the front seats
Modifying  or  replacing  the  front  seats  such  as  replacing  the  up holstery  or
loosening  any  bolts  is  dangerous.  The  front  seats  contain  air  b ag  compo-
nents  essential  to  the  supplemental  restraint  system.  Such  modi fications
could damage the supplemental restraint system and result in serious injury.
Consult  your  Toyota  dealer  if  there  is  any  need  to  remove  or  re install  the
front seats.
■ Do not drive with d amaged front seats
Driving  with  damaged  front  seats,  such  as  seat  cushions  torn  or   damaged
down  to  the  urethane,  is  dangerous.  A  collision,  even  one  not  strong
enough  to  inflate  the  air  bags,  could  damage  the  front  seats  wh ich  contain
essential  air  bag  components.  If  there  was  a  subsequent  collision,  an  air
bag  may  not  deploy  which  could  lead  to  injuries. Always  have  yo ur  Toyota
dealer  inspect  the  front  seats,  front  seat  belt  pretensioners  a nd  air  bags
after a collision.

Essential Safety Equipment
WARNING
■Do not drive with either front seats reclined
Sitting  in  a  reclined  position  while  the  vehicle  is  moving  is  d angerous
because  you  do  not  get  the  full  protection  from  seat  belts.  During  sudden
braking  or  a  collision,  you  can  slide  under  the  lap  belt  and  su ffer  serious
injuries. For maximum protection, sit well back and upright.
■ Do  not  place  an  object  such  as  a  cushion  between  the  seatback  a nd
your back
Putting an object such as a cushion between the seatback and yo ur back is
dangerous  because  you  will  be  unable  to  maintain  a  safe  driving   posture
and  the  seat  belt  cannot  function  at  its  full  capacity  in  a  collision,  which
could result in a serious accident, injury or death.
■ Do not place objects under the seat
The object could get stuck and cause the seat to not be fixed s ecurely, and
result in an accident.
■ Do not stack cargo hig her than the seatbacks
Stacking  luggage  or  other  cargo  higher  than  the  seatbacks  is  da ngerous.
During  sudden  braking  or  a  collision,  objects  can  fly  around  an d  become
projectiles that may hit and injure passengers.
■ Make sure luggage and cargo is secured before driving
Not  securing  cargo  while  driving  is  dangerous  as  it  could  move  or  be
crushed during sudden braking or a collision and cause injury.
■ Never  allow  a  passenger  to  sit  o r  stand  on  the  folded  seatback while
the vehicle is moving
Driving  with  a  passenger  on  the  folded  seatback  is  dangerous. A llowing  a
child to sit up on the folded seatback while the vehicle is mov ing is particu-
larly dangerous. In a sudden stop or even a minor collision, a  child not in a
proper seat or child-restraint system and seat belt could be th rown forward,
back  or  even  out  of  the  vehicle  resulting  in  serious  injuries  o r  death.  The
child in  the  baggage  area could  be  thrown into  other  occupants  and  cause
serious injury.
■ Never give the car keys to children and do not allow them to pl ay in the
vehicle
Playing  with  the  folding  rear  seats  is  dangerous.  Once  the  seat backs  are
back up, a child in the trunk would not be able to get out the  way they had
entered. If you have small children, keep the seatbacks locked.

WARNING
■Always  leave  your  car  locked  and   keep  the  car  keys  safely  away from
children
Leaving  your  car  unlocked  or  the  keys  in  reach  of  children  is  d angerous.
Children  who  find  their  way  into  the  trunk  through  an  unlocked  rear  seat-
back  or  an  open  trunk  can  become  accidentally  locked  in  the  tru nk.  This
could  result  in  death  or  brain  damage  from  heat  prostration,  pa rticularly  in
the  summer. Always  lock  the  doors  and  the  trunk,  and  as  an  added  mea-
sure,  keep  the  rear  seatbacks  locked,  whether  you  have  children   in  your
home or not.
■ When operating a seat
● When operating a seat, be careful not to put your hands or fingers near the
moving parts of the seat or on the side trim to prevent injury.
● When moving the seats forward and rearward or returning a rear-reclined
seatback to its upright position, make sure you hold onto the seatback with
your  hand  while  operating.  If  the  seatback  is  not  held,  the  sea t  will  move
suddenly and could cause injury.
● When  inserting  your  hand  under  the  seat  to  clean  the  cabin  or  p ick  up
something  you  dropped  under  the  seat,  be  careful  not  to  hurt  yo urself.  If
you contact the moving parts of the seat rail or seat frame, it  could result in
injury.
NOTICE
When  moving  the  seats,  make  sure  there  is  no  cargo  in  the  surrounding
area. If the cargo gets caught it could damage the cargo.
