Important information about your Toyota
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 restraint systems
this vehicle provides, Section 1 −3 of this Owner’s Manu-
al is the most important section for you and your family
to read.
Section 1 −3 describes the function and operation con-
cerning seats, seat belts, SRS airbags and child re-
straint systems of this vehicle and some potential haz-
ards you should be aware of. These systems work to-
gether 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 is enhanced when it is
used properly and together with other systems. No
single occupant restraint system 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 these
systems and how they relate to each other.
The purpose of all occupant restraint systems is to help
reduce the possibility of death or serious injury in the
event of a collision. None of these systems, either indi-
vidually or together, can ensure that there is no injury
in the event of collision. However, the more you know
about these systems and how to use them properly, the
greater your chances become of surviving an accident
without death or serious injury.
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 are
appropriate for their age and size. SRS (Supplemental
Restraint System) airbags are, as their names imply,
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.

Installation of a mobiletwoway radio system
As the installation of a mobile two −way radio system in
your vehicle could affect electronic systems such as
multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel
injection system, electronic throttle control system,
cruise control system, anti −lock brake system, active
traction control system, vehicle stability control system,
SRS airbag system and seat belt pretensioner system,
be sure to check with your Toyota dealer for precaution-
ary measures or special instructions regarding installa-
tion.
Tires and loading on your Toyota
Underinflated or overinflated tire inflation pressure
and the excess load may result in the deterioration
of steering ability and braking ability, leading to
an accident. Check the tire inflation pressure peri-
odically and be sure to keep the load limits given
in this Owner ’s Manual. For details about tire infla-
tion pressure and load limits, see pages 299 and
229.
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 the systems of the SRS airbag and seat
belt pretensioner removed and disposed of by a qualified
service shop or by your Toyota dealer before you dis-
pose of your vehicle.

REAR DOOR CHILDPROTECTORS
Move the lock lever to the “LOCK”
position as shown on the label.
This feature allows you to lock a rear
door so it can be opened from the outside
only, not from inside. We recommend us-
ing this feature whenever small children
are in the vehicle.
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the doors
are closed and locked, especially
when small children are in the ve-
hicle. Along with the proper use of
seat belts, locking the doors helps
prevent the driver and passengers
from being thrown out from the ve-
hicle during an accident. It also helps
prevent the doors from being opened
unintentionally.
You can select the following modes of
the automatic locking and unlocking
functions. The initial mode is mode 1.
Mode 1—Automatic locking operation
linked to shift lever position
All doors are automatically locked when
the shift lever is moved out of “P”
position after the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position and all the
doors are closed.
Mode 2—Automatic locking operation
linked to vehicle speed
All doors are automatically locked when
the vehicle speed goes above about 20
km/h (12 mph).
Mode 3—Automatic unlocking opera-
tion linked to the ignition switch
All doors are automatically unlocked
when the driver ’s door is opened within
10 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned to the “ACC” or “LOCK” posi-
tion, or the key is removed.
Mode 4—Automatic unlocking opera-
tion linked to shift lever position
All doors are automatically unlocked
when the selector lever is moved to
“P” position after the ignition switch is
turned to “ON” position.

CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the back
door is closed and locked, especially
when small children are in the ve-
hicle. Along with the proper use of
seat belts, locking the doors helps
prevent the driver and passengers
from being thrown out from the ve-
hicle during an accident. It also helps
prevent the doors from being opened
unintentionally.
Hood
To open the hood:1. Pull the hood lock release lever. The hood will spring up slightly.
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the hood
is closed and securely locked. Other-
wise, the hood may open unexpected-
ly while driving and an accident may
occur.
2. In front of the vehicle, pull up theauxiliary catch l ever and lift the
hood.
Before closing the hood, check to see that
you have not forgotten any tools, rags,
etc. Then lower the hood and make sure
it locks into place. If necessary, press
down gently on the front edge to lock it.

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
Do not drive the vehicle unless
the occupants are properly
seated. Do not allow any passen-
gers to sit on top of a folded
down seatback, or in the lug-
gage compartment or cargo area.
Persons not properly seated and/
or not properly restrained by
seat belts can be severely in-
jured in the event of emergency
braking or a collision.
During driving, do not allow any
passengers to stand up or move
around between seats. Otherwise,
severe injuries can occur in the
event of emergency braking or a
collision.
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.
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (“NHTSA”) advises:
Since the risk zone for driver airbag
is the first 5075 mm (23 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:
Move your seat to the rear as far
as you can while still reaching the
pedals comfortably.
Slightly 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, nonslippery cushion, or raise
the seat if your vehicle has that
feature.
If 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 by NHTSA above, while
still maintaining control of the foot
pedals, steering wheel, and your view
of the instrument panel controls.

2004 L/C100 from Aug ’03 Prod. (OM60A04U)
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of sliding under
the lap belt during a collision, avoid
reclining the seatback any more than
needed. The seat belts provide maxi-
mum 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. In the event
of a frontal collision, the more the
seat is reclined, the greater the risk
of personal injury.
3. SEAT LUMBAR SUPPORT ADJUST-ING SWITCH
Push the control switch on either side.
The amount of lumbar support will change
while the switch is pushed.
Armrest
To use the armrest, pull it down as
shown above.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the armrest,
avoid putting heavy loads on it.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the seat while the
vehicle is moving.
Be careful that the seat does not
hit a passenger or luggage.
After adjusting the seatback,
push your body back against the
seat to make sure the seat is
locked in position.
When returning seats to their
original position, observe the fol-
lowing in order to prevent per-
sonal injury in a collision or
sudden stop:
Make sure the seat is securely
locked by pushing forward and rear-
ward on the top of the seatback
and by trying to pull up the edge
of the bottom cushion. Failure to
do so will prevent seat belt from
operating properly.
Make sure the seat belts are not
twisted or caught under the seat
and are arranged in their proper
position and are ready to use.
Rear seats—

2004 L/C100 from Aug ’03 Prod. (OM60A04U)
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of sliding un-
der the lap belt during a colli-
sion, avoid reclining the seat-
back any more than needed. The
seat belts provide maximum
protection in a frontal or rear
collision when the second seat
passengers 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 direct-
ly to the abdomen. Therefore, in
the event of a frontal collision,
the more the seat is reclined, the
greater the risk of personal inju-
ry.
Do not adjust the seat while the
vehicle is moving.
After adjusting the seatback,
push your body back against the
seat to make sure the seat is
locked in position.
For easy access to the third seat, do
this;1. Lower the head restraint to the low- est position.
2. Push the seatback angle adjusting lever and pull the seat cushion lock
release lever or pull the strap.
After passengers are in, return the seat
until it locks.
CAUTION
After returning the seat, make sure
the seat is securely locked by push-
ing forward and rearward on the top
of the seatback and by trying to pull
up the edge of the bottom cushion.
