Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause the driver’s floor mat to slip, possibly
interfering with the pedals while driv- ing. An unexpectedly high speed may result or it may become difficult to
stop the vehicle. This could lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
■When installing the driver’s floor mat
●Do not use floor mats designed for other models or different model year vehicles, even if they are
Toyota Genuine floor mats.
●Only use floor mats designed for
the driver’s seat.
●Always install the floor mat securely
using the retaining hooks (clips) provided.
●Do not use two or more floor mats on top of each other.
●Do not place the floor mat bottom-side up or upside-down.
■Before driving
●Check that the floor mat is securely fixed in the correct place with all the
provided retaining hooks (clips). Be especially careful to perform this check after cleaning the floor.

1-1. For safe use
For safety and security
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.258)
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.258)
Lock the head restraint in place
with the center of the head
restraint closest to the top of
your ears. ( P.264)
Wear the seat belt correctly.
( P.36)

●With the hybrid system stopped and the shift lever in P, fully depress
each pedal to the floor to make sure it does not interfere with the floor mat.

341-1. For safe use
Make sure that all occupants are
wearing their seat belts before driv-
ing the vehicle. ( P.36)
Use a child restraint system appro-
priate for the child until the child
becomes large enough to properly
wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
( P.50)
Make sure that you can see back-
ward clearly by adjusting the inside
rear view mirror (if equipped), Digi-
tal Rear-view Mirror (if equipped)
and outside rear view mirrors prop-
erly. ( P.267, 268, 277)
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 seat-back. A cushion may prevent cor-
rect 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 accident 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.
Correct use of the seat belts
