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.
