This chapter describes all stan-
dard, country-specific and
optional features offered with
the series. It also describes fea-
tures and functions that are not
necessarily available in your
vehicle, e.g., due to the selected
options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related
functions and systems. When
using these functions and sys-
tems, the applicable laws and
regulations must be observed.
An ideal seating position that
meets the needs of the occu-
pants can make a vital contribu-
tion to relaxed, fatigue-free
driving.
In the event of an accident, the
correct seating position plays an
important role. Follow the infor-
mation in the following chapters:
• Seats, refer to page 99.
• Safety belts, refer to page 103.
• Head restraints, refer to page 108.
• Airbags, refer to page 164.

Seats
Safety information
WARNING
Seat adjustments while driving
can lead to unexpected move-
ments of the seat. Vehicle control
could be lost. There is a risk of an
accident. Only adjust the seat on
the driver's side when the vehicle
is stationary.
WARNING
With a backrest inclined too far to
the rear, the efficacy of the safety
belt can no longer be ensured.
There is a risk of sliding under the
safety belt in an accident. There is
a risk of injuries or danger to life.
Adjust the seat prior to starting the
trip. Adjust the backrest so that it
is in the most upright position as
possible and do not adjust again
while driving.
WARNING
There is a risk of jamming when
moving the seats. There is a risk
of injury or risk of damage to prop-
erty. Make sure that the area of
movement of the seat is clear
prior to any adjustment.

The curvature of the seat back-
rest can be adjusted in a way
that it supports the lumbar
region of the spine. The lower
back and the spine are sup-
ported for upright posture.
Adjusting the backrest width
may improve lateral support
when taking corners.
You can change the backrest
width by adjusting the side
wings of the backrest.The vehicle is fitted with two
safety belts to ensure occupant
safety. However the safety belt
can only offer protection when
adjusted correctly.
Always make sure that safety
belts are being worn by the
occupants before driving off.
The airbags supplement the
safety belts as an additional
safety device. The airbags are
not a substitute for safety belts.
All belt fastening points are
designed to achieve the best
possible protective effect of the
safety belts with proper use of
the safety belts and correct seat
setting. Notes on sitting safely,
refer to page P.99.

posture not only helps reduce
fatigue while driving, but helps
ensure that the occupant protec-
tion devices, such as the seat
belts and airbags, will operate
correctly in a collision, reducing
the impact to the occupants.The most basic occupant pro-
tection device is the seat belt.
The airbags are designed to
supplement the seat belts, not
be used in place of them. Wear-
ing the seat belt correctly
ensures that the occupants are
securely held in the seats and
helps prevent them from con-
tacting interior parts or being
thrown from the vehicle in a col-
lision. Therefore, it is necessary
for all occupants to wear their
seat belt. If a seat belt is worn
improperly, its effectiveness as
an occupant protection device
will be severely reduced. Pay
attention to the following to
ensure the correct driving pos-
ture and use of the seat belts.

After using a child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat,
ensure that the front, knee, and
side airbags on the front pas-
senger side are deactivated. For
automatic deactivation of front-
seat passenger airbags, refer to
page 175.Pay attention to the specifica-
tions and the operating and
safety information of the child
restraint system manufacturer
when selecting, installing, and
using child restraint systems.
WARNING
Exposure to intense sunlight can
cause child restraint systems and
their components to become very
hot. Persons may sustain burn
injuries when touching the hot
components. There is a risk of
injury. Do not e
xpose the child
restraint system to direct sunlight
or cover where necessary. If nec-
essary, let the ch ild restraint sys-
tem cool down before transporting
a child. Do not leave children
unattended in the vehicle.
Children on the front pas-
senger seat
General information
Safety information
WARNING
Active front-seat passenger air-
bags can injure a child in a child
restraint system when the airbags
are activated. There is a risk of
injury. Make sure that the
front-seat passenger airbags are
deactivated and that the PAS-
SENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator
light lights up.
The safety bel t cannot be fas-
tened correctly on children shorter
than 5 ft, 150 cm without suitable
additional child restraint systems.
The efficacy of safety gear, includ-
ing safety belts, can be limited or
lost when safety belts are fas-
tened incorrectly. An incorrectly
fastened safety belt can cause
additional injuries, for instance in
the event of an accident or during
braking and evasive maneuvers.
There is a risk of injuries or dan-
ger to life. Secure children shorter
than 5 ft, 150 cm using suitable
child restraint systems.

Before installing a child restraint
system in the front passenger
seat, make sure that the front,
knee and side airbags on the
front passenger side are deacti-
vated.
Deactivate the front-seat pas-
senger airbags automatically,
refer to page 175.
After installing a child restraint
system, move the front passen-
ger seat as far back as it will go
and, if possible, bring it up to
medium height. This seat posi-
tion and height ensure the best
possible position for the belt and
offers optimal protection in the
event of an accident.
If the upper anchor of the safety
belt is located in front of the belt
guide of the child seat, move the
front passenger seat carefully
Safety information
WARNING
The protective effect of child
restraint systems and their fasten-
ing systems which have been
damaged or exposed to an acci-
dent can be limited or lost. A child
cannot be properly restrained in
the event of an a
ccident or brak-
ing and evasive maneuvers.
There is a risk o f injuries or dan-
ger to life. Do not use child
restraint systems which have
been damaged or e xposed to an
accident. If a child restraint sys-
tem and its fastening system has
been damaged or e xposed to an
accident, have these systems
checked and replaced by your
Toyota dealer.
WARNING
The stability of the child restraint
system is limited or compromised
with incorrect seat adjustment or
improper installati on of the child
seat. There is a risk of injuries or
danger to life. Make sure that the
child restraint system fits securely
against the backrest. If possible,
adjust the backr est tilt for all
affected backrests and correctly
adjust the seats. Make sure that
seats and backrests are securely
engaged or locked.

Front airbags help protect the
driver and the front passenger
by responding to frontal impacts
in which safety belts alone
would not provide adequate pro-
tection.
In the event of a side impact, the
side airbag protects the side of
the body in the chest, lap, and
head area. The knee airbag protects the
legs in the event of a frontal
impact.
The curtain shield airbag sup-
ports the head in the event of a
