1
For safety and security
WARNING
■When installing a child 
restraint system
Observe the following precau-
tions. 
Failure to do so m ay result in 
death or serious injury.
●Do not allow children to play 
with the seat belt. If the seat belt 
becomes twisted around a 
child’s neck, it may lead to 
choking or other serious injuries 
that could result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle 
cannot be unfastened, scissors 
should be used to cut the belt.
●Ensure that the belt and plate 
are securely locked and the 
seat belt is not twisted.
●Shake the child restraint system 
left and right,  and forward and 
backward to ensure that it has 
been securely installed.
●After securing a child restraint 
system, never adjust the seat.
●When a booster seat is 
installed, always ensure that the 
shoulder belt is positioned 
across the center of the child’s 
shoulder. The belt should be 
kept away from the child’s neck, 
but not so that it could fall off the 
child’s shoulder.
●Follow all installation instruc-
tions provided by the child 
restraint system manufacturer.
●When securing some types of 
child restraint systems in rear 
seats, it may not be possible to 
properly use the seat belts in 
positions next to the child 
restraint without  interfering with 
it or affecting seat belt effective-
ness. Be sure your seat belt fits 
snugly across your shoulder 
and low on your hips. If it does 
not, or if it interferes with the 
child restraint, move to a differ-
ent position. Fa ilure to do so 
may result in death or serious 
injury.
●When installing a child restraint 
system in the rear center seat, 
adjust both seat cushions to the 
same position and align both 
seatbacks at the same angle. 
Otherwise, the child restraint 
system cannot be securely 
restrained and this may cause 
death or serious injuries in the 
event of sudden braking, sud-
den swerving or an accident.
■When installing a booster 
seat
To prevent the belt from going into 
ALR lock mode, do not fully 
extend the shoulder belt. ALR 
mode causes the belt to tighten 
only. This could cause injury or 
discomfort to the child. ( P. 2 9 )
■Do not use a  seat belt 
extender
If a seat belt extender is used 
when installing a child restraint 
system, the seat belt will not 
securely hold the child restraint 
system, which could cause death 
or serious injury to the child or 
other passengers in the event of 
sudden braking, sudden swerv-
ing or an accident.

tem or wireless remote control. Lock 
or unlock the doors using the 
mechanical key. (P.356)
■Rear seat reminder function
In order to remind you not to forget 
luggage, etc. in the rear seat, when 
the engine switch is turned off after 
any of the following conditions are 
met, a buzzer will  sound and a mes-
sage will be displayed on the 
multi-information di splay for approx-
imately 6 seconds.
●The engine is started within 
approximately 10 minutes after 
opening and closing a rear door.
●A rear door has been opened and 
closed after the engine was 
started.
However, if a rear door is opened 
and then closed  within approxi-
mately 2 seconds , the rear seat 
reminder function may not operate.
The rear seat rem inder function 
determines that luggage, etc. has 
been placed in a rear seat based on 
opening and closing of a rear door. 
Therefore, depending on the situa-
tion, the rear seat  reminder function 
may not operate and you may still 
forget luggage, etc. in the rear seat, 
or it may operate unnecessarily.
■Customization
Some functions can be customized.

WARNING
■To prevent an accident
Observe the following precautions 
while driving t he vehicle.
Failure to do so m ay result in a 
door opening and an occupant

●Set the rear door child-protector 
locks when children are seated 
in the rear seats.
■When opening or closing a 
door
Check the surroundings of the 
vehicle such as wh ether the vehi-
cle is on an incline, whether there 
is enough space for a door to 
open and whether a strong wind 
is blowing. When opening or clos-
ing the door, hold the door handle 
tightly to prepare for any unpre-
dictable movement.
■When using the wireless 
remote control and operating 
the power windows
Operate the power windows after 
checking to make sure that there 
is no possibility of any passenger

not allow children to operate the 
wireless remote control. It is pos-
sible for children and other pas-
sengers to get caught in the 
power windows.

procedures.
WARNING
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may result in 
death or serious injury.
■Caution while driving
●Keep the back door closed 
while driving. If the back door is 
left open, it may hit near-by 
objects while driving or luggage 
may be unexpectedly thrown 
out, causing an accident.
In addition, exhaust gases may 
enter the vehicle, causing death 
or a serious health hazard. 
Make sure to c lose the back 
door before driving.
●Before driving the vehicle, make 
sure that the ba ck door is fully 
closed. If the back door is not 
fully closed, it may open unex-
pectedly while driving, causing 
an accident.
●Never let anyone sit in the lug-
gage compartment. In the event 
of sudden braking  or a collision, 
they are susceptible to death or 
serious injury.
■When children are in the vehi-
cle
●Do not allow child ren to play in 
the luggage compartment.
If a child is accidentally locked 
in the luggage compartment, 
they could have heat exhaus-
tion or other injuries. 

1003-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
WARNING
●Do not allow a child to open or 
close the back door.
Doing so may cause the back 
door to move unexpectedly, or 
cause the child’s hands, head, 
or neck to be caught by the 
closing back door.
■Operating the back door
●Remove any heavy loads, such 
as snow and ice, from the back 
door before opening it. Failure 
to do so may cause the back 
door to suddenly shut again 
after it is opened.
●When opening or closing the 
back door, thoroughly check to 
make sure the surrounding area 
is safe.
●If anyone is in the vicinity, make 
sure they are safe and let them 
know that the back door is 
about to open or close.
●Use caution when opening or 
closing the back door in windy 
weather as it may move 
abruptly in strong wind.
●The back door may suddenly 
shut if it is not opened fully. It is 
more difficult to open or close 
the back door on an incline than 
on a level surface, so beware of 
the back door unexpectedly 
opening or closing by itself. 
Make sure that the back door is 
fully open and secure before 
using the luggage compartment.
●When closing the back door, 
take extra care to prevent your 
fingers etc. from being caught.
●When closing the back door, 
make sure to press it lightly on 
its outer surface. If the back 
door handle is used to fully 
close the back door, it may 
result in hands or arms being 
caught.
●Do not pull on the back door 
damper stay to close the back 
door, and do not hang on the 
back door damper stay. Doing 
so may cause hands to be 
caught or the back door damper 
stay to break, causing an acci-
dent.
●If a bicycle carrier or similar 
heavy object is attached to the 
back door, it may suddenly shut 
again after being opened, caus-
ing someone’s hands, head or 
neck to be caught and injured. 
When installing an accessory 
part to the back door, using a 
genuine Toyota part is recom-
mended.
