CAUTION
■
Operating the back door
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in death
or serious injury.
●When opening or closing the back door, thoroughly check to make sure
the surrounding area is safe.
● If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that
the back door is about to open or close.
● Use caution when opening or closing the back door in windy weather as it
may move abruptly in strong wind.
● Do not pull on the back door damper stay to close the back door, and do
not hang on the back door damper stay.
Doing so may cause hands to be caught or the back door damper stay to
break, causing an accident.
●The back door may close if the back
door damper is not opened fully. It is
more difficult to open or close the back
door on an incline than on a level sur-
face, so beware of the back door unex-
pectedly opening or closing by itself.
Make sure that the back door is fully
open and secure before using the lug-
gage compartment.
● When closing the back door, take extra
care to prevent your fingers etc. from
being caught.
● When closing the back door, make sure
to press it lightly on its outer surface.

The wiper restarts its working about 3 seconds after the glass hatch is
closed.
■ Closing the glass hatch
●Make sure that the glass hatch is securely closed after closing it.
If the glass hatch is not securely closed, the rear window wiper and
washer will not work.

CAUTION
■
Operating the glass hatch
●Use caution when opening or closing the glass hatch in windy weather as
it may move abruptly in strong wind.
● Do not pull on the glass hatch damper stay to close the glass hatch, and
do not hang on the glass hatch damper stay.
Doing so may cause hands to be caught or the glass hatch damper stay to
break, causing an accident.
● Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Toyota parts to the
glass hatch. Such additional weight on the glass hatch may cause the
glass hatch to fall closed again after it is opened.
■ Before you close the glass hatch
To avoid death or serious injury, you must do the following.
●Always make sure there is nobody around the glass hatch.
● Make sure all occupants are safe and let them know that the glass hatch is
about to close.
●The glass hatch may fall if it is not
opened fully. It is more difficult to open
or close the glass hatch on an incline
than on a level surface, so beware of
the glass hatch unexpectedly opening
or closing by itself. Make sure that the
glass hatch is fully open and secure
before using the luggage compartment.
● When closing the glass hatch take extra
care to prevent your fingers etc. from
being caught.
● When closing the glass hatch, make
sure to press it lightly on its outer sur-
face.

CAUTION
■When the seatback is folded
Do not sit on or place anything on the seatback while the vehicle is in

■ When returning the seats to their original position
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●Do not return the seatback while the vehicle is in motion.
● Be careful not to get your hands or feet pinched in the seat.
● Make sure the seatbacks and bottom cushions are securely locked. Fail-
ure to do so will prevent the seat belt from operating properly.
● Check that the seat belts are not twisted or caught under the seat.
● Arrange the seat belts in the proper positions for ready use.
■ When removing or reinstalling the bottom cushion
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●Do not remove or reinstall the bottom cushion while the vehicle is in
motion.
● Do not get in the vehicle with the bottom cushions uninstalled.
● Do not leave the removed bottom cushion unsecured in the vehicle.
● Do not try to sit on or place anything on the removed bottom cushion.
● Do not drop the bottom cushion.
● Have the hexagon head bolts tightened with a torque wrench to 12.5 ft·lbf
(17 N·m, 1.7 kgf·m), or have them tightened by your Toyota dealer.
Failure to do so may cause the dials to be loosened and the bottom cush-
ions to be removed.

Before driving
■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 colli-
sions.
■ Seat belt extender
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of
sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
Failing 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.
● Do not recline the seat any more than necessary to achieve a proper seat-
ing position. 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.
If your seat belts cannot be fastened
securely because they are not long
enough, a personalized seat belt
extender is available from your Toyota
dealer free of charge.

CAUTION
■Seat belt damage and wear
●Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of the
seat belts. Have any necessary repairs carried out by your Toyota dealer.
Inappropriate handling of the pretensioner may prevent it from operating
properly resulting in death or serious injury.
■ Using a seat belt extender
●Do not wear the seat belt extender, if you can fasten the seat belt without
the extender.
● Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system,
because the belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, increas-
ing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.
● The personalized extender may not be safe on another vehicle, when
used by another person, or at a different seating position other than the
one originally intended.
NOTICE
■When using a seat belt extender
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 the extender itself.
