Push the handle and push down the
lower side of the back door.
When closing the back door, make sure
it is fully closed.
See “Cargo and luggage” on page 229 for
precautions when loading luggage.
CAUTION
Keep the back door closed while
driving. This not only keeps the
luggage from being thrown out
but also prevents exhaust gases
from entering the vehicle.
If the open back door hides the
stop and tail lights, rear turn sig-
nal lights or rear retro reflectors
while you are parked, other road
users must be warned of the
presence of your vehicle by a
warning triangle or other device.
BACK DOOR CHILDPROTECTOR
Move the lock lever to the “LOCK”
position as shown on the label.
This feature allows you to lock a back
door so it can be opened from the outside
only, not from inside. We recommend us-
ing this feature whenever small children

Roll sensing of curtain shield airbags off
indicator light
The seat belt pretensioners will not oper-
ate in a vehicle rollover if the roll sensing
of curtain shield airbags off indicator light
is on. For details, see “Roll sensing of
curtain shield airbags off switch” on page
69.
CAUTION
Make sure the roll sensing of cur-
tain shield airbags off indicator
light is not on.
When the roll sensing of curtain
shield airbags off switch is turned
on (and the roll sensing of curtain
shield airbags off indicator light is
on), the seat belt pretensioners will
not operate in a vehicle rollover
and turning off the seat belt preten-
sioners can reduce the occupant
protection which your vehicle safety
systems can provide to you in cer-
tain accidents and increase the like-
lihood of death or serious injuries.
The seat belt pretensioner system con-
sists mainly of the following components,
and their locations are shown in the il-
lustration.1. Front airbag sensors
2. SRS warning light
3. Seat belt pretensioner assemblies
4. Airbag sensor assembly
The seat belt pretensioners are controlled
by the airbag sensor assembly. The airbag
sensor assembly consists of a safing sen-
sor and airbag sensor.

sors, side and curtain shield airbag sen-
sors, curtain shield airbag sensors, driv-
er ’s seat position sensor, driver ’s seat belt

semblies, inflators, warning light, roll sens-
ing of curtain shield airbags off indicator
light, interconnecting wiring and power

Fuel gauge
15C004
The gauge indicates the approximate
quantity of fuel remaining in the tank
when the ignition switch is on.
Nearly full—Needle at “F”
Nearly empty—Needle at “E”
It is a good idea to keep the tank over
1/4 full.
If the fuel level approaches “E” or the low
fuel level warning light comes on, fill the
fuel tank as soon as possible.
On inclines or curves, due to the move-
ment of fuel in the tank, the fuel gauge
needle may fluctuate or the low fuel level
warning light may come on earlier than
usual.If the fuel tank is completely empty, the
malfunction indicator lamp comes on. Fill
the fuel tank immediately.
The indicator lamp goes off after driving
several times. If the indicator lamp does
not go off, contact your Toyota dealer as
soon as possible.
It is not a malfunction even if the needle
of the fuel gauge returns to “E” when the
ignition switch is turned to the “START”
position.The gauge indicates the engine coolant
temperature when the ignition switch is
on. The engine operating temperature
will vary with changes in weather and
engine load.
If the needle points to the red zone or
higher, stop your vehicle and allow the
engine to cool.
Your vehicle may overheat during severe
operating conditions, such as:
Driving up a long hill on a hot day.
Reducing speed or stopping after high
speed driving.
Idling for a long period with the air
conditioning on in stop
−and− go traffic.
Towing a trailer.
