For safety and security
WARNING
●Vehicles without a smart key
system: Do not attach any
heavy, sharp or hard objects to
the key.
●Do not hang coat hangers or
other hard objects on the coat
hooks. These items could
become projectiles if the SRS
curtain shield airbags deploy,
possibly leading to death or
serious injury.
●If a vinyl cover is attached to the
area where the SRS knee air-
bag deploys, be sure to remove
it.
●Do not use seat accessories
which cover the parts from
which the SRS airbags deploy,
as they may interfere with infla-
tion of the SRS airbags. Such
accessories may prevent the
SRS airbags from deploying
correctly, may disable the sys-
tem or cause the SRS airbags
to inflate unintentionally, possi-
bly resulting in death or serious
injury.
●Do not strike or apply significant
force to the SRS airbag system
components, front doors or their
surrounding area.
Doing so may cause the SRS
airbags to malfunction.
●Do not touch any components
of the SRS airbags 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 win-
dow 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 a part where an SRS airbag is
stored is damaged or cracked,
have it replaced by your Toyota
dealer.
●Do not place anything, such as
a cushion, on the front passen-
ger's seat. Doing so will
disperse the passenger’s
weight, which prevents the sen-
sor from detecting the passen-
ger’s weight properly. As a
result, the SRS front airbags for
the front passenger’s seat may
not deploy in the event of a colli-
sion.
■Modification and disposal of
SRS airbag system compo-
nents
Do not dispose of your vehicle or
perform any of the following modi-
fications without consulting your
Toyota dealer. The SRS airbags
may malfunction or deploy unin-
tentionally, possi bly leading to
death or serious injury.
●Removal, installation, disas-
sembly or repair of the SRS air-
bags
●Repair, removal or modification
of the following parts or their
surrounding
• Steering wheel
• Instrument panel
• Dashboard
• Seats
• Seat upholstery

401-1. For safe use
WARNING
●Do not put weight on the front
passenger seat by putting your
hands or feet on the front pas-
senger seat seatback from the
rear passenger seat.
●Do not let a rear passenger lift
the front passenger seat with
their feet or press on the seat-
back with their legs.
●Do not put objects under the
front passenger seat.
●Do not recline the front passen-
ger seatback so far that it
touches a rear seat. This may
cause the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-
cator light to be illuminated,
which indicates that the SRS
airbags for the front passenger
will not activate in the event of a
severe accident. If the seatback
touches the rear seat, return the
seatback to a pos ition where it
does not touch the rear seat.
Keep the front passenger seat-
back as upright as possible
when the vehicle is moving.
Reclining the seatback exces-
sively may less en the effective-
ness of the seat belt system.
●If an adult sits in the front pas-
senger seat, the “AIR BAG ON”
indicator light is illuminated. If
the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator is
illuminated, ask the passenger
to sit up straig ht, well back in
the seat, feet on the floor, and
with the seat belt worn correctly.
If the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator
still remains illuminated, either
ask the passenger to move to
the rear seat, or if that is not
possible, move the front pas-
senger seat fully rearward.
●When it is unavoidable to install
a forward-facing child restraint
system on the front passenger
seat, install the child restraint
system on the front passenger
seat in the proper order.
(
P. 4 5 )
●Do not modify or remove the
front seats.
●Do not kick the front passenger
seat or subject it to severe
impact. Otherwise, the SRS
warning light m ay come on to
indicate a malfu nction of the
front passenger occupant clas-
sification system. In this case,
contact your Toyota dealer
immediately.
●Child restraint systems installed
on the rear seat should not con-
tact the front seatbacks.
●Do not use a seat accessory,
such as a cushion and seat
cover, that covers the seat
cushion surface.
●Do not modify or replace the
upholstery of the front seat.

Maintenance and care
Remove dirt and dust using a
vacuum cleaner. Wipe dirty
surfaces with a cloth damp-
ened with lukewarm water.
 If dirt cannot be removed,
wipe it off with a soft cloth
dampened with neutral deter-
gent diluted to approximately
1%.
Wring out any excess water
from the cloth and thoroughly
wipe off remaining traces of
detergent and water.
■Shampooing the carpets

ing-type cleaners available. Use a
sponge or brush to apply the foam.
Rub in overlapping circles. Do not
use water. Wipe dirty surfaces and
let them dry. Excellent results are
obtained by keeping the carpet as
