LOCKING THE DOORS WITH SMART
FUNCTION
The smart entry and start system will
lock the doors without being inserted
into the door keyhole.
When you exit the vehicle carrying the
smart key and push the lock button on the
outside front door handle or back door
with all the doors closed, all the doors will
be locked provided that the electronic
code in the key corresponds to the regis-
tered ID code for the vehicle.
At this time, you will hear one beep and
the turn signal lights flash once. However,
when you push the lock button on the
outside front door handle or back door
with any door not closed securely, a beep
sounds for 10 seconds.
NOTICE
If the key is in the vehicle, do not
perform door locking operation, or
you might lock your keys inside the
vehicle.
INFORMATION
The rear doors are not equipped
with smart function.
When locking the doors, be sure to
push the lock button on the outside
front door handle or back door
slowly and surely. If you push the
button quickly, the doors may not
lock.
When opening or closing a door, do
not touch the lock button on the
outside door handle or back door. If
you push the button, an alarm
sounds 10 seconds.
When a wireless remote control is
used to lock the doors and a smart
key is left in the effective range of
the smart function in the vehicle,
the doors cannot be unlocked using
the smart function. In this case, use
the wireless remote function to un-
lock the doors.
You cannot activate smart unlocking
functions within 3 seconds after the
smart locking function is activated.

31
INFORMATION
When changing the mode, be sure
to push both “ ” (lock) and “ ”
(panic) buttons firmly, or panic
alarm may be activated.
 This operation will not change the
wireless remote control unlocking
function.
 In the single or driver’s door un-
locking mode, if you get into the
vehicle from the driver’s door carry-
ing the smart key, all the smart un-
locking controls activated by the
smart key will be stopped for secu-
rity. If you get out of the vehicle
from the driver’s door carrying the
smart key and get out of the effec-
tive range of the smart function,
unlocking control by the smart key
will be possible. However, unlocking
control may not be carried out for
5 seconds after you get out from
the vehicle. In this case, operate
unlock control again after 5 sec-
onds.
BATTERY POWER SAVING
When doors are locked, the smart entry
and start system transmits electromagnetic
waves to the outside of the vehicle at
regular intervals. For this reason, the ve-
hicle battery will be discharged if the ve-
hicle is left for a long time. If the key is
left within the effective range of the smart
function outside of the vehicle, the key
and the vehicle transmit electromagnetic
waves periodically. If these conditions con-
tinue for a long time, the battery in the
key and vehicle will be discharged.
To prevent the batteries from being dis-
charged, the smart function is automatical-
ly deactivated in the following conditions:
If there is no response from the key
for more than 14 days
If the key is left within the effective
range of the smart function outside of
the vehicle for more than 10 minutes To reactivate the smart function, perform
any of the following:
(a) Press the lock button on the outside front door handle or back door while
carrying the smart key.
(b) Perform a wireless remote control op- eration.
(c) Insert and turn the mechanical key in the keyhole of the driver’s door.

34
The wireless remote control system is
designed to lock or unlock all the side
doors and back door, or activate the
theft deterrent system from a distance
within approximately 1 m (3 ft.) of the
vehicle.

precautions to observe when loading lug-
gage.
To close the back door, lower it and press
down on it. After closing the back door,
try pulling it up to make sure it is secure-
ly closed.

vents exhaust gases from entering
the vehicle.
If the auxiliary battery is disconnected
or run down, the back door will be auto-
matically locked and the back door system
may not work after you reconnect, replace
or recharge the auxiliary battery. In any of
these cases, normalize the back door sys-
tem by following procedure.

The indicator lamp goes off after driving
several times. If the indicator lamp does
not go off, contact your Toyota dealer as
soon as possible.
CAUTION
Make sure the cap is installed se-
curely to prevent fuel sp illage in
the event of an accident.
Use only a genuine Toyota fuel tank
cap for replacement. It is designed
to regulate fuel tank pressure.

position, be certain to replace the head
restraint.
CAUTION
Do not allow passengers to ride on
the flattened seat while driving; use
the seat in the normal position.
After putting back the seat, try
pushing the seat and seatback for-
ward and rearward to make sure it
is secured in place. Be certain to
replace head restraint.
—Flattening seatbacks

55
CAUTION
When returning the seatback to the
upright position, observe the follow-
ing precautions in order to prevent
personal injury in a collision or sud-
den stop:
Make sure seatback is securely
locked by pushing forward and rear-
ward on the top of the seatback.
Failure to do so will prevent the
seat belt from operating properly.
Make sure the seat belts are not
twisted or caught in the seatback
and are arranged in the proper
position and are ready to use.

Rear
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 center head restraint—When an oc-
cupant sits on the rear center seat, al-
ways pull up the rear center head re-
straint 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
Adjust the center of the head re-
straint so that it is closest to the
top of your ears.
After adjusting the head restraint,
make sure it is locked in position.
Do not drive with the head re-
straints removed.
Head restraints

56
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. For details, see “Child
restraint” on page 78.
If a child is too large for a child restraint
system, the child s hould sit in the rear
seat and must be restrained using the
vehicle’s seat belt. According to accident
statistics, the child is safer when properly
restrained in the rear seat than in the
front seat.
If a child must sit in the front seat, the
seat belts should be worn properly. If an
accident occurs and the seat belts are not
worn properly, the force of the rapid infla-
tion of the airbag may cause death or
serious injury to the child. Do not allow any children 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. Holding a child in your arms
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.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:
Use the belt for only one person at
a time. Do not use a single belt for
two or more people—even children.
To reduce the risk of sliding under
the lap belt during a collision,
avoid 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. In the event of a
frontal collision, the more the seat
is reclined, the greater the risk of
personal injury.
Seat belts—
—Seat belt precautions

57
Be careful not to damage the belt
webbing or hardware. Take care that
they do not get caught or pinched
in the seat or doors.
Inspect the belt system periodically.
Check for cuts, fraying, and loose
parts. Damaged parts should be re-
placed. Do not disassemble or
modify the system.
Keep 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 belt—they may se-
verely weaken the belts. (See
“Cleaning the interior” on page
263.)
Replace 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.
22p007
Ta bBuckle
Adjust the seat as needed and sit up
straight and well back in the seat. To
fasten your belt, pull it out of the re-
tractor 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. When a passenger ’s shoulder belt is com-
pletely extended and is then retracted
even slightly, the belt is locked in that
position and cannot be extended. This fea-
ture is used to hold the child restraint
system securely. (For details, see “Child
restraint” on page 78.) To free the belt
again, fully retract the belt and then pull
the belt out once more.
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
After inserting the tab, make sure
the tab and buckle are locked and
that the belt is not twisted.
Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in
the buckle as this may prevent you
from properly latching the tab and
buckle.
If the seat belt does not function
normally, immediately contact your
Toyota dealer. Do not use the seat
until the seat belt is fixed, because
it cannot protect an adult occupant
or your child from injury.
