WARNING
Observe the following precautions.  
Failure to do so may cause the driver’s floor mat to slip, possibly interfering 
with the pedals while driving. An unexpectedly high speed may result or it may
become difficult to stop the vehicle. This could lead to an accident, resulting in 
death or serious injury. 
■ When installing the driver’s floor mat  
● Do not use floor mats designed for other models or different model year 
vehicles, even if they are Toyota Genuine floor mats. 
● Only use floor mats designed for the driver’s seat. 
● Always install the floor mat securely using the retaining hooks (clips) pro- 
vided. 
● Do not use two or more floor mats on top of each other. 
● Do not place the floor mat bottom-side up or upside-down. 
■ Before driving
●Check that the floor mat is securely 
fixed in the correct place with all the 
provided retaining hooks (clips). Be 
especially careful to perform this check
after cleaning the floor. 
● With the engine stopped and the shift 
lever in N, fully depress each pedal to
the floor to make sure it does not inter- 
fere with the floor mat.

For safe driving
Adjust the angle of the seat- 
back so that you are sitting 
straight up and so that you do 
not have to lean forward to 
steer. ( P. 183) 
Adjust the seat so that you can 
depress the pedals fully and so 
that your arms bend slightly at 
the elbow when gripping the
steering wheel. ( P. 183, 189) 
Wear the seat belt correctly. ( P.  3 2 ) 
Make sure that all occupants are wearing their seat belts before driv- 
ing the vehicle. ( P.  3 2 ) 
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child 
becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.  
( P.  5 2 ) 
Make sure that you can see backward clearly by adjusting the inside 
and outside rear view mirrors properly. ( P. 191, 192)
For safe driving, adjust the seat and mirror to an appropriate 
position before driving.

WARNING
Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury. 
● Do not adjust the position of the driver’s seat while driving. 
Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. 
● Do not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seatback. 
A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce
the effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint. 
● Do not place anything under the front seats. 
Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the seat
tracks and stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an acci- 
dent and the adjustment mechanism may also be damaged. 
● Always observe the legal speed limit when driving on public roads. 
● When driving over long distances, take regular breaks before you start to 
feel tired. 
Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while driving, do not force yourself to con-
tinue driving and take a break immediately.

Seat belts
●Extend the shoulder belt so that 
it comes fully over the shoulder, 
but does not come into contact 
with the neck or slide off the
shoulder. 
● Position the lap belt as low as 
possible over the hips. 
● Adjust the position of the seat- 
back. Sit up straight and well
back in the seat. 
● Do not twist the seat belt. 
To fasten the seat belt, push the 
plate into the buckle until a click 
sound is heard.

The pretensioners help the seat 
belts to quickly restrain the occu- 
pants by retracting the seat belts 
when the vehicle is subjected to 
certain types of severe frontal or 
side collision.
The pretensioners do not activate 
in the event of a minor frontal
impact, a minor side impact, a rear 
impact or a vehicle rollover.
■ Emergency locking retractor (ELR) 
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also 
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to 
extend so that you can move around fully.  
■ Child seat belt usage 
The seat belts of your vehicle were principally designed for persons of adult 
size.  
● Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child 
becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt. ( P.  5 2 ) 
● When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat 
belt, follow the instructions regarding seat belt usage. ( P. 32) 
■ Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated 
If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate for 
the first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent collisions. 
■ Seat belt regulations 
If seat belt regulations exist in the country where you reside, please contact 
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable 
repairer for seat belt repl acement or installation.

WARNING
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of 
sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident. 
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury. 
■ Wearing a seat belt 
● Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt. 
● Always wear a seat belt properly. 
● Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt 
for more than one person at once, including children. 
● Toyota recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and always 
use a seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system. 
● To achieve a proper seating position, do not recline the seat more than 
necessary. The seat belt is most effective when the occupants are sitting 
up straight and well back in the seats. 
● Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm. 
● Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips. 
■ Pregnant women
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat 
belt in the proper way. ( P. 32) 
Women who are pregnant should posi- 
tion the lap belt as low as possible over 
the hips in the same manner as other
occupants, extending the shoulder belt 
completely over the shoulder and avoid- 
ing belt contact with the rounding of the
abdominal area. 
If the seat belt is not worn properly, not 
only the pregnant woman, but also the
fetus could suffer death or serious injury 
as a result of sudden braking or a colli- 
sion.

WARNING
■People suffering illness 
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way. ( P. 32) 
■ When children are in the vehicle 
 P.  7 0 
■ Seat belt pretensioners 
If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will come on. In that 
case, the seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced at any 
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable 
repairer. 
■ Seat belt damage and wear 
● Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be 
jammed in the door. 
● Inspect the seat belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose 
parts. Do not use a damaged seat belt until it is replaced. Damaged seat 
belts cannot protect an occupant from death or serious injury. 
● Ensure that the belt and plate are locked and the belt is not twisted. 
If the seat belt does not function correctly, immediately contact any autho- 
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
● Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been 
involved in a serious accident, even if there is no obvious damage. 
● Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of the 
seat belts. Have any necessary repairs carried out by any authorized Toy-
ota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. Inappro-
priate handling of the pretensioner ma y prevent it from operating properly 
resulting in death or serious injury.

senger from impact with interior components

SRS side airbags  
Can help protect the torso and hip of the front seat occupants 
SRS curtain shield airbags (if equipped) 
Can help protect primarily the head of occupants in the outer 
seats

The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The 
SRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. As 
the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the 
airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occu- 
pants.
