For safe driving
Adjust  the  angle  of  the 
seatback so that you are sitting 
straight  up  and  so  that  you  do 
not  have  to  lean  forward  to 
steer. ( P.   2 6 2 ) 
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. 262, 270) 
Lock the head restraint in place with the center of the head re straint 
closest to the top of your ears. ( P.   2 6 6 ) 
Wear the seat belt correctly. ( P.   3 6 ) 
Make sure that all occupants are wearing their seat belts befor e driv- 
ing the vehicle. ( P.   3 6 ) 
Use  a  child  restraint  system  appropriate  for  the  child  until  th e  child 
becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.  
( P. 59)

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 devices to be used with the se at 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 - 7 5 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  measu red  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 reach ing the ped- 
als comfortably. 
• Slightly  recline  the  back  of  the  seat.  Although  vehicle  design s  vary, 
many  drivers  can  achieve  the  250  mm  (10  in.)  distance,  even  wit h  the 
driver seat all the way forward, simply by reclining  the  back o f the seat 
somewhat.  If  reclining  the  back  of  your  seat  makes  it  hard  to  s ee  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  p oints  the 
airbag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as recommended above, while still m aintain- 
ing control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view o f the instru- 
ment panel controls.

WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
●Do  not  allow  anyone  to  kneel  on  the 
passenger  seat  toward  the  door  or  put 
their head or hands outside the vehicle. 
● Vehicles  without  SRS  driver’s  knee 
airbag: Do not attach anything to or lean 
anything  against  areas  such  as  the
dashboard or steering wheel pad. 
These  items  can  become  projectiles 
when  the  SRS  driver  and  front  passen-
ger airbags deploy. 
Vehicles with SRS driver’s knee airbag: 
Do  not  attach  anything  to  or  lean  any-
thing  against  areas  such  as  the  dash- 
board,  steering  wheel  pad  and  lower 
portion of the instrument panel.
These  items  can  become  projectiles 
when  the  SRS  driver,  front  passenger 
and driver’s knee airbag deploy. 
● Do not attach anything to areas such as 
a  door,  windshield,  side  door  glass, 
front  or  rear  pillar,  roof  side  rail  and
assist  grip.  (Except  for  the  speed  limit 
label:  P. 707)

WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions 
● Vehicles  with  SRS driver’s  knee  airbag:  If a  vinyl  cover  is  put  on the  area 
where the SRS driver’s knee airbag will deploy, be sure to remo ve it. 
● Do  not  use  seat  accessories  which  cover  the  parts  where  the  SRS side 
airbags  inflate  as  they  may  interfere  with  inflation  of  the  SRS   airbags. 
Such  accessories  may  prevent  the  side  airbags  from  activating  c orrectly, 
disable the system or cause the side airbags to inflate acciden tally, result- 
ing in death or serious injury. 
● Do  not  strike  or  apply  significant  levels  of  force  to  the  area of  the  SRS 
airbag components or the front doors.  
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction. 
● Do  not  touch  any  of  the  component  parts  immediately  after  the  SRS 
airbags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot. 
● If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbags have deployed, open a 
door or side window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle  if it is safe to 
do so. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin  irritation.  
● If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel 
pad  and  front  and  rear  pillar  garnishes,  are  damaged  or  cracked ,  have 
them  replaced  by  any  authorized  Toyota  retailer  or  Toyota  autho rized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
