For safety and security
Make sure that you can see backward clearly by adjusting the inside 
and outside rear view mirrors properly. ( P. 178, 180)
Adjusting the mirrors
WARNING
Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury. 
● Do not adjust the position of the driver’s seat while driving. 
Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. 
● Do not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seatback. 
A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce 
the effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint. 
● Do not place anything under the front seats. 
Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the seat 
tracks and stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an acci-
dent and the adjustment mechanism may also be damaged. 
● Always observe the legal speed limit when driving on public roads. 
● When driving over long distances, take regular breaks before you start to 
feel tired. 
Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while driving, do not force yourself to con- 
tinue driving and take a break immediately.

For safety and security
WARNING
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of 
sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident. 
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury. 
■ Wearing a seat belt 
● Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt. 
● Always wear a seat belt properly. 
● Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt 
for more than one person at once, including children. 
● Toyota recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and always 
use a seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system. 
● To achieve a proper seating position, do not recline the seat more than 
necessary. The seat belt is most effective when the occupants are sitting 
up straight and well back in the seats. 
● Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm. 
● Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips. 
■ Pregnant women 
■ People suffering illness 
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way. ( P. 40)
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat 
belt in the proper way. ( P. 40) 
Women who are pregnant should posi- 
tion the lap belt as low as possible over 
the hips in the same manner as other
occupants, extending the shoulder belt 
completely over the shoulder and avoid- 
ing belt contact with the rounding of the
abdominal area. 
If the seat belt is not worn properly, not 
only the pregnant woman, but also the
fetus could suffer death or serious injury 
as a result of sudden braking or a colli- 
sion.

SRS airbags
◆SRS front airbags 
SRS driver airbag/front passenger airbag 
Can help protect the head and chest of the driver and front pas-
senger from impact with interior components 
SRS driver’s knee airbag 
Can help provide driver protection
◆SRS side and curtain shield airbags 
SRS side airbags (if equipped) 
Can help protect the torso of the front seat occupants 
SRS curtain shield airbags (if equipped) 
Can help protect primarily the head of occupants in the outer 
seats
The SRS airbags inflate when the vehicle is subjected to certain 
types of severe impacts that may cause significant injury to the 
occupants. They work together with the seat belts to help reduce 
the risk of death or serious injury.

WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions 
● The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and 
can cause death or serious injury especially if the front passenger is very 
close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far from the air- 
bag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits
upright. 
● Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or 
seriously injured by a deploying airbag. An infant or child who is too small
to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint sys- 
tem. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in 
the rear seats (if equipped) of the vehi cle and properly restrained. The rear 
seats (if equipped) are safer for infants and children than the front passen- 
ger seat. ( P. 65)
●Do not sit on the edge of the seat or 
lean against the dashboard. 
● Do not allow a child to stand in front of 
the SRS front passenger airbag unit or 
sit on the knees of a front passenger. 
● Do not allow the front seat occupants to 
hold items on their knees.
