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.

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.

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

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

WARNING
Do not recline the seatback
excessively while driving.
To reduce the risk of sliding under
the lap belt during a collision, do
not recline the seat more than
necessary. If the seat is too
reclined, the lap belt may slide
past the hips and apply restraint
forces directly to the abdomen, or
your neck may contact the shoul-
der belt, increasing the risk of
death or serious injury in the
event of an accident. Adjustments
should not be made while driving
as the seat may unexpectedly
move and cause the driver to lose
control of the vehicle.
WARNING
Make sure that all passengers
wear their seat belt correctly.
Use of seat belts may be manda-
tory under local laws and regula-
tions. If a seat belt is not worn
properly, an occupant may con-
tact interior parts or be thrown
from the vehicle in the case of
sudden braking or a collision, pos-
sibly resulting in death or serious
injury. Also, if an occupant has an
incorrect riding posture, the air-
bags will be ineffectual as occu-
pant protection devices and may
actually cause injuries when they
deploy.

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.
