WARNING
■Caution regarding interfer ence with electronic devices
● People  with  implantable  cardiac  pacemakers,  cardiac  resynchroni zation
therapy-pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators should keep
away from the smart key system antennas. ( P. 131)
The  radio  waves  may  affect  the  operation  of  such  devices.  If  ne cessary,
the entry function can be disabled. Ask your Toyota dealer for details, such
as  the  frequency  of  radio  waves  and  timing  of  the  emitted  radio  waves.
Then, consult your doctor to see if you should disable the entry function.
● User of any electrical medical device other than implantable cardiac pace-
makers,  cardiac  resynchronization  therapy-pacemakers  or  implantable
cardioverter defibrillators should consult the manufacturer of the device for
information about its operation under the influence of radio waves.
Radio  waves  could  have  unexpected  effects  on  the  operation  of  such
medical devices.
Ask your Toyota dealer for details for disabling the entry function.

1403-3. Adjusting the seats
When  the  occupant’s  back
presses  against  the  seatback
during  a  rear-end  collision,  the
head  restraint  moves  slightly  for-
ward  to  help  reduce  the  risk  of
whiplash on the seat occupant.
■Active head restraints
Even  small  forces  applied  to  the  seatback  may  cause  the  head  re straint  to
move.  Pushing  up  a  locked  head  restraint  forcibly  may  show  the  head
restraint inner structure. These do not indicate problems.

WARNING
■When adjusting the seat position
● Take  care  when  adjusting  the  seat  position  to  ensure  that  other  passen-
gers are not injured by the moving seat.
● Do  not  put  your  hands  under  the  seat  or  near  the  moving  parts  to  avoid
injury.
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.
■ Seat adjustment
● To  reduce  the  risk  of  sliding  under  the  lap  belt  during  a  collision,  do  not
recline the seat more than necessary.
If  the  seat  is  too  reclined,  the  lap  belt  may  slide  past  the  hips  and  apply
restraint  forces  directly  to  the  abdomen,  or  your  neck  may  contact  the
shoulder belt, increasing  the risk of death  or  serious  injury in the  event of
an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may un expect-
edly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
● After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in position.
■ When adjusting the seat positions
Make sure to leave enough space around the feet so they do not  get stuck.

This prevents the seat belt buckles
from  interfering  with  raising  the
bottom cushion.

When returning the bottom cushion
to  its  original  position,  push  the
bottom  cushion  down  while  pulling
the  lever  until  the  bottom  cushion
locks into the seat position.

Before folding down the rear seats
Pass  the seat  belts  through  the
seat belt hangers.

Make  sure  that  the  seat  belts  are
removed  from  the  hangers  before
using them.
