1-1.For safe use
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.
Floor mat
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
fo
 r other models or differen
tm
odel year vehicles, even if
they are Toyota Genuine floor
mats.
●Only use floor mats designedfor  the driver’s seat.
●Always install the floor mat
secur
ely using the retain
ing
ho
oks (clips) provided.
●Do not use two  or more floorm
ats on top of each other.
●Do not place the floor mat bot-
tom-side up or upside-down.

COROLLA H/B_U
Make sure that all occupants are 
wearing their seat belts before 
driving the vehicle. (P.25)
Use a child restraint system 
appropriate for the child until the  child becomes large enough to 
properly wear the vehicle’s seat 
belt. (
P.45)
Make sure that you can see 
backward clearly by adjusting 
the inside and outside rear view 
mirrors properly. ( P.122, 123)
WARNING
■For safe driving
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 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 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.

Before driving
●When the lock op eration is per-
formed using the lock sensor, rec-
ognition signals  will be shown up 
to two consecutive times. After 
this, no recogniti on signals will be 
given.
●If the door handle becomes wet 
while the electronic key is within 
the effective ran ge, the door may 
lock and unlock repeatedly. In that 
case, follow the fo llowing correc-
