to the desired position with slight body
pressure and release the lever.
2. SEATBACK ANGLE ADJUSTING
LEVER
Lean forward and pull the lever up.
Then lean back to the desired angle
and release the lever.
CAUTION
Avoid reclining the seatback any
more than needed. The seat belt pro-
vides maximum protection in a frontal
or rear collision when the driver is
sitting up straight and well back in
the seat. If you are reclined, the lap
belt may slide past your hips and
apply restraint forces directly to the
abdomen or your neck may contact
the shoulder belt. In the event of a
frontal collision, the more theseat is
reclined, the greater the risk of death
or serious injury.

When returning the bottom cushion to its
original position, hang the strap on the
hook.
CAUTION
DAny operations should not be made
while the vehicle is moving.
DAfter raising the bottom cushion,
make sure to secure it with the
holding strap.
DWhen returning the bottom cushion
to its original position, observe the
following precautions in order to
prevent death or serious injury in a
collision or sudden stop:
Make sure the bottom cushion is
securely locked by trying to pull up
the edge of the bottom cushion.
Failure to do so will prevent the
seat belt from operating properly.
Make sure the seat belts are not
twisted or caught under the bottom
cushion and are arranged in their
proper position and are ready to
use.
The head restraints can be removed.
For your safety, always use the head
restraints in the locked position.
To remove: Pull it up while pressing the
lock release button.
When an occupant sits on the rear seat,
always pull up the 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
DUse the head restraint designed for
each respective seat.
DMake sure the head restraint is
locked in position.
DDo not drive with the head re-
straints removed.

Toyota strongly urges that the driver and
passengers in the vehicle be properly re-
strained at all times with the seat belts
provided. Failure to do so could increase
the chance of injury and/or the severity of
injury in accidents.
The seat belts provided for your vehicle
are designed for people of adult size,
large enough to properly wear them.
Child.Use a child restraint system ap-
propriate for the child until the child be-
comes large enough to properly wear the
vehicle’s seat belts. Toyota recommends
you use a child restraint system which
conforms to the regulation “ECE No.44”.
See “Child restraint” on page 44 for de-
tails.
Single cab models
:
DIf a child is too large for a child re-
straint system, the child should sit in
the seat and must be restrained using
the vehicle’s seat belt.
DWithout passengers’ seat belts—We
recommend installing thepassengers’
seat belts on your vehicle. Ask any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped
professional, if passengers’ seat belts
can be installed on your vehicle. If
installation is possible, put the child in
the passenger ’s seat and use the seat
belt.
Double cab models
:
DWith rear seat belts—If a child is too
large for a child restraint system, the
child should sit in the rear seat and
must be restrained using the vehicle’s
seat belt. According to accident statis-
tics, the child is safer when properly
restrained in the rear seat than in the
front seat.
: See “Model code” on page vi in the
beginning of this manual if you are not
sure of your vehicle model.
DWithout rear seat belts—We recom-
mend installing the rear seat belts on
your vehicle. Ask any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped profession-
al, if rear seat belts can be installed
on your vehicle. If installation is
possible, put the child in the rear seat
and use the seat belts. If installation is
not possible, let the child sit in the
front seat and use the seat belt.
If a child must sit in the front seat, the
seat belts should be worn properly.
Do not allow the child to stand up or
kneel on either rear or front seats. An
unrestrained child could suffer serious in-
jury or death during emergency braking or
a collision. Also, do not let the child sit
on your lap. It does not provide sufficient
restraint.
Pregnant woman.Toyota recommends the
use of a seat belt. Ask your doctor for
specific recommendations. The lap belt
should be worn securely and as low as
possible over the hips and not on the
waist.
Injured person.Toyota recommends the
use of a seat belt. Depending on the inju-
ry, first check with your doctor for specific
recommendations.
If seat belt regulations exist in the country
where you reside, please contact any au-
thorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional, for seat belt replacement or
installation.

Seat belts—
—Seat belt precautions
Page 35 of 240
SEATS, SEAT BELTS, STEERING WHEEL AND MIRRORS29
CAUTION
Persons should ride in their seats
properly wearing their seat belts
whenever the vehicle is moving.
Otherwise, they are much more likely
to suffer serious bodily injury or
death in the event of sudden braking
or a collision.
When using the seat belts, observe
the following:
DUse the belt for only one person at
a time. Do not use a single belt for
two or more people—even children.
DAvoid reclining the seatback any
more than needed. The seat belts
provide maximum protection in a
frontal or rear collision when the
driver and the front passenger are
sitting up straight and well back in
the seats. If you are reclined, the
lap belt may slide past your hips
and apply restraint forces directly
to the abdomen or your neck may
contact the shoulder belt. In the
event of a frontal collision, the
more the seat is reclined, the great-
er the risk of death or serious inju-
ry.
DBe careful not to damage the belt
webbing or hardware. Take care that
they do not get caught or pinched
in the seat or doors.
DInspect the belt system periodically.
Check for cuts, fraying, and loose
parts. Damaged parts should be re-
placed. Do not disassemble or
modify the system.
DKeep the belts clean and dry. If
they need cleaning, use a mild soap
solution or lukewarm water. Never
use bleach, dye, or abrasive clean-
ers, or allow them to come into
contact with the belts—they may
severely weaken the belts. (See
“Cleaning the interior” on page 181
in Section 5.)
DReplace the belt assembly (includ-
ing bolts) if it has been used in a
severe impact. The entire assembly
should be replaced even if damage
is not obvious.

Adjust the seat as needed (driver ’s seat
only) and sit up straight and well back
in the seat. To fasten your belt, pull it
out of the retractor and insert the tab
into the buckle.
You will hear a click when the tab locks
into the buckle.
The seat belt length automatically adjusts
to your size and the seat position.
The retractor will lock the belt during a
sudden stop or on impact. It also may
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A
slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend, and you can move around freely.
If the seat belt cannot be pulled out of the
retractor, firmly pull the belt and release
it. You will then be able to smoothly pull
the belt out of the retractor.
CAUTION
DAfter inserting the tab, make sure
the tab and buckle are locked and
the belt is not twisted.
DDo not insert coins, clips, etc. in
the buckle as this may prevent you
from properly latching the tab and
buckle.
DIf the seat belt does not function
normally, immediately contact any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and
equipped professional. Do not use
the seat until the seat belt is fixed,
because it cannot protect an adult
occupant or your child from death
or serious injury.
