This system can memorize the position
of the driver’s seat and outside rear
view mirrors, and recall them at the
touch of a button.
Buttons “1” and “2” can memorize two
separate positions.
SETTING THE DRIVING POSITION
The key must be in the “ON” position and
the shift lever is in the “P” position.1. Adjust the driver ’s seat and outside rear view mirrors to the desired
position.
2. While pushing the “SET” button, push button “1” or “2” until a beep
is heard.
The system can memorize up to 2 posi-
tions by repeating the above steps.  If step
2 is performed when both buttons  “1” and
“2” are memorized, the previous position
will be erased and a new position will be
set. To make only slight changes to an already
memorized position, the easiest way is to
first activate the memorized position, then
make the desired changes and perform
step 2 above.

To connect the extender to the seat
belt, insert the tab into the seat belt
buckle so that  the “PRESS” signs on
the buckle release buttons of the ex-
tender and the seat belt are both facing
outward as shown.
You will hear a click when the tab locks
into the buckle.
When releasing the seat belt, press on
the buckle release button on  the extender,
not on the seat belt. This helps prevent
damage to the vehicle interior and extend-
er itself.As far as the seat belt extender on the
front passenger side is concerned, do not
fail to disconnect the extender  from the
seat belt  after the above operation  in or-
der to activate the front passenger airbag
correctly when getting into the vehicle
next time.
When not in use, remove the extender
and store in the vehicle for future use.
CAUTION
After inserting the tab, make sure
the tab and buckle are  locked and
that the lap and shoulder portions
of the belt and the seat belt extend-
er are 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.
The driver and front passenger seat
belt pretensioners are designed to be
activated in response to a severe fron-
tal impact. On vehicles equipped with
curtain shield airbags, the pretensioners
are also activated during vehicle rol-
lover.
When the sensor detects a severe frontal
impact or a vehicle rollover, the front seat
belts are quickly drawn back by  the re-
tractors so that the belts snugly restrain
the occupants.
