Power windows
MS12016a
The windows can be operated with the
switch on each side door.
The engine switch must be in the “ON”
position.
OPERATING THE WINDOWS
Use the switches on the driver ’s and
front passenger ’s doors.
The window moves as long as you hold
the switch.
To open: Push down the switch.
To close: Pull up the switch.
CAUTION
To avoid death or serious injury, you
must do the following.
DBefore you close the power win-
dows, always make sure there is
nobody around the power windows.
You must also make sure the
heads, hands and other parts of the
bodies of all occupants are kept
completely inside the vehicle. If
someone’s neck, head, hands or
other parts of the body get caught
in a closing window, it could result
in death or serious injury. When
anyone closes the power windows,
make sure he or she operates the
windows safely.
DWhen small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the power
window switches without supervi-
sion.
DBe sure to remove the key or turn
the engine switch to the “LOCK”
position when you leave your ve-
hicle.
DNever leave anyone (particularly a
small child) alone in your vehicle,
especially with the key still in-
serted. Otherwise, he/she could use
the power window switches and get
trapped in a window. Unattended
people (particularly small children)
could be involved in serious acci-
dent.

Seats
While the vehicle is being driven, all ve-
hicle occupants should have the seatback
upright, sit well back in the seat and prop-
erly wear the seat belts provided.
CAUTION
DDo not drive the vehicle unless the
occupants are properly seated. Do
not allow any occupants to sit on
top of a folded−down seatback, or
in the luggage compartment or car-
go area. If the occupants are im-
properly seated or restrained by
seat belts, death or serious injury
could result in the event of emer-
gency braking, sudden swerving or
an accident.
DDuring driving, do not allow any
passengers to stand up or move
around between seats. Otherwise,
death or serious injuries can occur
in the event of emergency braking,
sudden swerving or an accident.
Driver seat
CAUTION
The SRS driver airbag deploys with
considerable force, and can cause
death or serious injury especially if
the driver is very close to the airbag.
Since the risk zone for driver airbag
is the first 50—75 mm (2—3 in.) of
inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10
in.) from your driver airbag provides
you with a clear margin of safety.
This distance is measured from the
center of the steering wheel to your
breastbone. If you sit less than 250
mm (10 in.) away now, you can
change your driving position in sever-
al ways:
DMove your seat to the rear as far
as you can while still reaching the
pedals comfortably.
DSlightly recline the back of the
seat. Although vehicle designs vary,
many drivers can achieve the 250
mm (10 in.) distance, even with the
driver seat all the way forward, sim-
ply by reclining the back of the
seat somewhat. If reclining the back
of your seat makes it hard to see
the road, raise yourself by using a
firm, non−slippery cushion, or raise
the seat if your vehicle has that
feature.
DIf your steering wheel is adjustable,
tilt it downward. This points the air-
bag toward your chest instead of
your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as rec-
ommended above, while still maintain-
ing control of the foot pedals, steer-
ing wheel, and your view of the in-
strument panel controls.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS47
CAUTION
DDo not allow sitting on top of a
folded−down seatback, in the lug-
gage compartment or cargo area.
DWhen returning seats to their origi-
nal position make sure the seat is
securely locked by pushing forward
and rearward on the top of the
seatback. Failure to do so will pre-
vent seat belt from operating prop-
erly.
DMake sure the seat belts are not
twisted or caught in the seatback or
under the bottom cushion, and are
arranged in their proper position
and are ready to use.
MS13014
Rear seats
For your safety and comfort, adjust the
head restraint before driving.
To raise: Pull it up.
To lower: Push it down while pressing the
lock release button.
Rear head restraints—
When an occupant sits on the rear seat,
always pull up the rear head restraint to
the lock position.
The head restraint is most effective when
it is close to your head. Therefore, using
a cushion on the seatback is not recom-
mended.
CAUTION
DAdjust the center of the head re-
straint so that it is closest to the
top of your ears.
DUse the head restraint designed for
each respective seat.
DAfter adjusting the head restraint,
make sure it is locked in position.
DDo not drive with the head re-
straints removed.

To release the belt, press the red
buckle release button and allow the belt
to retract.
If the belt does not retract smoothly, pull
it out and check for kinks or twists. Then
make sure it remains untwisted as it re-
tracts.
MS13017a
The driver and front passenger seat
belt pretensioners are designed to be
activated in response to a severe fron-
tal impact.
When the sensor detects a severe frontal
impact, the front seat belts are quickly
drawn back by the retractors so that the
belts snugly restrain the occupants.
The seat belt pretensioners are activated
even with no passenger in the front seat.
The seat belt pretensioners and SRS air-
bags may not operate together in all colli-
sions.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS55
MS13024a
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) front airbags are designed to pro-
vide further protection for the driver
and front passenger in addition to the
primary safety protection provided by
the seat belts.
In response to a severe frontal impact,
the SRS front airbags work with the seat
belts to help reduce injury by inflating.
The SRS front airbags help reduce injuries
mainly to the driver ’s or front passenger ’s
head or chest caused by hitting the ve-
hicle interior.
The front passenger airbag is activated
even with no passenger in the front seat.
Always wear your seat belt properly.
CAUTION
DThe SRS front airbag system is de-
signed only as a supplement to the
primary protection of the driver and
front passenger seat belt systems.
The driver and front passenger can
be killed or seriously injured by the
inflating airbags if they do not wear
the available seat belts properly.
During sudden braking just before
a collision, an unrestrained driver
or front passenger can move for-
ward into direct contact with or
close proximity to the airbag which
may then deploy during the colli-
sion. To ensure maximum protection
in an accident, the driver and all
passengers in the vehicle must
wear their seat belts properly. Wear-
ing a seat belt properly during an
accident reduces the chances of
death or serious injury or being
thrown out of the vehicle. For
instructions and precautions con-
cerning the seat belt system, see
“Seat belts” on page 48 in this Sec-
tion.
DImproperly seated and/or restrained
infants and children can be killed
or seriously injured by the deploy-
ing airbags. An infant or child who
is too small to use a seat belt
should be properly secured using a
child restraint system. Toyota
strongly recommends that all in-
fants and children be placed in the
rear seat of the vehicle and proper-
ly restrained. The rear seat is the
safest for infants and children. For
instructions concerning the installa-
tion of a child restraint system, see
“Child restraint” on page 80 in this
Section.

58OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
When the airbags inflate, they produce a
loud noise and release some smoke and
residue along with non−toxic gas. This
does not indicate a fire. This smoke may
remain inside the vehicle for some time,
and may cause some minor irritation to
the eyes, skin or breathing. Be sure to
wash off any residue as soon as possible
to prevent any potential skin irritation with
soap and water. If you can safely exit
from the vehicle, you should do so imme-
diately.
Deployment of the airbags happens in a
fraction of a second, so the airbags must
inflate with considerable force. While the
system is designed to reduce serious inju-
ries, primarily to the head and chest, it
may also cause other, less severe injuries
to the face, chest, arms and hands. These
are usually in the nature of minor burns
or abrasions and swelling, but the force of
a deploying airbag can cause more seri-
ous injuries, especially if an occupant’s
hands, arms, chest or head is in close
proximity to the airbag module at the time
of deployment. This is why it is important
for the occupant to: avoid placing any
object or part of the body between the
occupant and the airbag module; sit
straight and well back into the seat; wear
the available seat belt properly; and sit as
far as possible from the airbag module,
while still maintaining control of the ve-
hicle.
Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel
hub, airbag cover and inflator) may be hot
for several minutes after deployment, so
do not touch! The airbags inflate only
once. The windshield may be damaged by
absorbing some of the force of the inflat-
ing airbag.
CAUTION
The driver or front passenger who is
too close to the steering wheel or
dashboard during airbag deployment
can be killed or seriously injured.
Toyota strongly recommends that:
DThe driver sit as far back as pos-
sible from the steering wheel while
still maintaining control of the ve-
hicle.
DThe front passenger sit as far back
as possible from the dashboard.
DAll vehicle occupants must be prop-
erly restrained using the available
seat belts.
For instructions and precautions con-
cerning the seating position, see
“—Front seat precautions” on page
42 in this Section.

The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) side airbags are designed to pro-
vide further protection for the driver
and front passenger in addition to the
primary safety protection provided by
the seat belts.
In response to a severe side impact, the
SRS side airbags work with the seat belts
to help reduce injury by inflating. The SRS
side airbags help reduce injuries mainly to
the driver ’s or front passenger ’s chest.
The SRS side airbag on the passenger
seat is activated even with no passenger
in the front seat.
Always wear your seat belt properly.

When the airbags inflate, they produce a
fairly loud noise and release some smoke
and residue along with non−toxic gas. This
does not indicate a fire. This smoke may
remain inside the vehicle for some time,
and may cause some minor irritation to
the eyes, skin or breathing. Be sure to

inflate with considerable force. While the
system is designed to reduce serious inju-
ries, it may also cause minor burns or
abrasions and swelling.
Front seats may be hot for several min-
utes, but the airbags themselves will not
be hot. The airbags are designed to inflate
only once.
CAUTION
SRS side airbags inflate with consid-
erable force. To reduce the possibility
of death or serious injury when they
inflate, the driver and front passenger
must:
DWear their seat belts properly.
DRemain properly seated with their
backs upright and against the seats
at all times.
MS13034
DDo not allow anyone to lean against
the front door when the vehicle is
in use, since the side airbag could
inflate with considerable speed and
force. Otherwise, he/she may be
killed or be seriously injured. Spe-
cial care should be taken especially
when you have a small child in the
vehicle.
DSit up straight and well back in the
seat, distributing your weight evenly
in the seat. Do not apply excessive
weight to the outer side of the front
seats on vehicles with side airbags.

The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) side airbags and curtain shield air-
bags are designed to provide further
protection for the driver, front passen-
ger and rear passengers in addition to
the primary safety protection provided
by the seat belts.
In response to a severe side impact, the
SRS side airbags and curtain shield air-
bags work with the seat belts to help
reduce injury by inflating. The SRS side
airbags help reduce injuries mainly to the
driver ’s or front passenger ’s chest and the
SRS curtain shield airbags help reduce
injuries mainly to the driver’s, front pas-
senger ’s or rear passenger ’s head.
The SRS side airbag and curtain shield
airbag on the passenger side are activated
even with no passenger in the front seat
or rear seat.
The curtain shield airbags may activate
even when the side airbags are no acti-
vated.
Always wear your seat belt properly.

The SRS side airbag and curtain shield
airbag system may not activate if the
vehicle is subjected to a collision from
the side at certain angles, or a collision
to the side of the vehicle body other
than the passenger compartment as
shown in the illustration.
The SRS side airbags and curtain shield
airbags will deploy in the event of an
impact that exceeds the set threshold lev-
el (the level of force corresponding to the
impact force produced by an approximate-
ly 1500 kg [3307 lb.] vehicle colliding with
the vehicle cabin from a direction perpen-
dicular to the vehicle orientation at an
approximate speed of 20−30 km/h [12
