Use only floor mats designed
specifically for vehicles of the
same model and model year as
your vehicle. Fix them securely
in place onto the carpet.
1Insert the retaining hooks
(clips) into the floor mat eye-
lets.
2 Turn the upper knob of each
retaining hook (clip) to secure
the floor mats in place.
Always align the marks . The shape of the retaining hooks
(clips) may differ from that shown in
the illustration.
Before driving
Observe the following
before starting off in the
vehicle to ensure safety of
driving.
Installing floor mats
WARNING
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may cause the
driver’s floor mat to slip, possibly
interfering with t
he pedals while
driving. An unexpectedly high
speed may result or it may
become difficult to stop the vehi-
cle. This could lead to an acci-
dent, 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) provided.

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

and so that your arms bend
slightly at the elbow when
gripping the steering wheel.
( P.192)
Lock the head restraint in
place with the center of the
head restraint closest to the
top of your ears. ( P.196)
Wear the seat belt correctly.

cially careful to perform this
check after cleaning the floor.

Owners Manual_USA_M42C01_en
Make sure that all occupants are
wearing their seat belts before
driving the vehicle. (P.30)

belt. (
P.50)
Make sure that you can see the
rear of the vehicle clearly by
adjusting the inside rear view
mirror (if equipped), Digital

properly. ( P.200, 201, 210)
WARNING
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so m ay 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 pre-
vent correct pos ture from being
achieved, and reduce the effec-
tiveness 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 accident and the
adjustment mechanism may
also be damaged.
●Always observe the legal speed
limit when driving on public
roads.
●When driving over long dis-
tances, take regular breaks
before you start to feel tired.
Also, if you feel tired or sleepy
while driving, do not force your-
self to continue driving and take
a break immediately.

Seat belts
Make sure that all occu-
pants are wearing their seat
belts before driving the
vehicle.
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 prop-
erly.
●Each seat belt should be used
by one person only. Do not use
a seat belt for more than one
person at once, including chil-
dren.
●Toyota recommends that chil-
dren be seated in the rear seat
and always use a seat belt
and/or an appropriate child
restraint system.
●To achieve a p roper 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. 3 0 )
Women who are pregnant should
position the lap belt as low as
possible over the hips in the same
manner as other occupants,
extending the shoulder belt com-
pletely over the shoulder and
avoiding belt contact with the
rounding of the abdominal area.
If the seat belt is not worn prop-
erly, 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.
■People suffering illness
Obtain medical advice and wear
the seat belt in the proper way.
(  P. 3 0 )
■When children are in the vehi-
cle
 P. 5 8
■Seat belt damage and wear
●Do not damage the seat belts
by allowing the belt, plate, or
buckle to be jammed in the
door.

301-1. For safe use
Owners Manual_USA_M42C01_en
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
seatback.
Sit up straight and well back
in the seat.
 Do not twist the seat belt.
■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 0 )
●When the child becomes large
enough to properl y wear the vehi-
cle’s seat belt, follow the instruc-
tions regarding seat belt usage.
(  P. 2 9 )
■Seat belt extender
If your seat belts cannot be fastened
securely because they are not long
enough, a personalized seat belt
extender is available from your Toy-
ota dealer free of charge.
WARNING
●Inspect the seat belt system
periodically. Check for cuts,
fraying, and loose parts. Do not
use a damaged sea t 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
your Toyota dealer.
●Replace the seat assembly,
including the belts, if your vehi-
cle has been involved in a seri-
ous 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 your Toyota dealer. Inap-
propriate handling may lead to
incorrect operation.
