Important information about your
To y o t a
Occupant restraint systems
Toyota encourages you and your family to take the time to read
Section 1−3 of this Owner ’s Manual carefully. In terms of helping
you understand how you can receive the maximum benefit of the
occupant restraintsystems this vehicle provides, Section 1−3of
this Owner ’s Manual is the most important Section for you and
your family to read.
Section 1−3 describes the function and operation concerning seats,
seat belts, SRS airbags and child restraintsystems of this vehicle
and some potential hazards you should be aware of. These sys-
tems work together along with the overall structure of this vehicle
in order to provide occupant restraint in the event of a crash. The
effect of each system isenhanced when it is used properly and
together with othersystems. No single occupant restraintsystem
can, by itself, provide you or your family with the equal level of
restraint which these systems can provide when used together.
That is why it is important for you and your family to understand
the purpose and proper use of each of thesesystems and how
they relate to each other.
The purpose of all occupant restraintsystems is to help reduce
the possibility of death or serious injury in the event of a colli-
sion. None of these systems, either individually or together, can
ensure that there is no injury in the event of collision. However,
the more you know about thesesystems and how to use them
properly, the greater your chances become of surviving an acci-
dent without death or serious injury.

iv
Seat belts provide the primary restraint to all occupants of the
vehicle, and every occupant of the vehicle should wear seat belts
properly at all times. Children should always be secured in child
restraint systems that areappropriate for their age and size. SRS
(Supplemental Restraint System) airbags are, as their names im-
ply, designed to work with, and be supplemental to, seat belts and
are not substitutes for them. SRS airbags can be very effective in
reducing the risk of head and chest injuries by preventing contact
of the head and chest with interior portions of the vehicle.
In order to be effective, the SRS airbags must deploy with tre-
mendous speed. The rapid deployment of the SRS airbags makes
the SRS airbags themselves potential sources of death or serious
injury if an occupant is too close to an airbag, or if an object or
some part of his or her body has been placed between the
occupant and the airbag at the time of deployment. This is just
one example of how the instructions in Section 1−3ofthisOwn-
er ’s Manual will help ensure proper use of the occupant restraint
systems, and increase the safety they can provide to you and
your family in the event of an accident.
Toyota recommends you to read the provisions in Section 1−3
carefully and refer to them as needed during your time of owner-
ship of this vehicle.

Scrapping of your Toyota
The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Toyota
contain explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the
airbags and pretensioners left as they are, this may cause an
accident such as fire. Be sure to have thesystems of the SRS
airbag and seat belt pretensioner removed and disposed of by a

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.

CAUTION
DDo not adjust the seat while the
vehicle is moving as the seat may
unexpectedly move and cause the
driver to lose control of the vehicle.
DBe careful that the seat does not
hit a passenger, luggage or the rear
seat.
DAfter adjusting the seat position, re-
lease the lever and try sliding the
seat forward and backward to make
sure it is locked in position.
DMake sure the 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.
DDo not put objects under the seats.
Otherwise, the objects may interfere
with the seat−lock mechanism or
unexpectedly push up the seat posi-
tion adjusting lever and the seat
may suddenly move, causing the
driver to lose control of the vehicle.
DWhile adjusting the seat, do not put
your hands under the seat or near
the moving parts. Otherwise, your
hands or fingers may be caught and
injured.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS45
CAUTION
DAdjustments should not be made
while the vehicle is moving.
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.
DAfter adjusting the seatback, push
back your body to make sure it is
locked in position.
MS13010a
For easy access to the rear seat:
1. Pull the seatback angle adjusting lever.
2. Move the seat to the front−most posi-
tion with pushing the seatback.
Once the passengers are in, lift up the
seatback and return the seat to its locked
position.
CAUTION
DAfter putting back the seat, try
pushing the seat forward and rear-
ward to make sure it is secured in
place.
DNever allow anyone to pull the seat-
back angle adjusting lever while the
vehicle is moving.
