Push the seat belt shoulder
anchor down while pressing the
release button.
Push the seat belt shoulder
anchor up.
Move the height adjuster up and
down as needed until you hear a
click.
The pretensioners help the seat
belts to quickly restrain the occu-
pants by retracting the seat belts
when the vehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe frontal or
side collision or a vehicle rollover.
The pretensioners do not activate
in the event of a minor frontal
impact, a minor side impact or a
rear impact.
■Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on imp act. It may also
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend so that you can move around fully.
■ Automatic locking retractor (ALR)
When a passenger’s shoulder belt is completely extended and the n retracted
even slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be extended. This
feature is used to hold the child restraint system (CRS) firmly . To free the belt
again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once m ore.

■Conditions under which the Blind Spot Monitor function may not func-
tion correctly
● The Blind Spot Monitor function may not detect vehicles correct ly in the fol-
lowing situations:
• When the sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact to the se nsor or its
surrounding area
• When mud, snow, ice, a sticker, etc. is covering the sensor or surround-
ing area on the rear bumper
• When driving on a road surface that is wet with standing water during bad
weather, such as heavy rain, snow, or fog
• When multiple vehicles are approaching with only a small gap b etween
each vehicle
• When the distance between your vehicle and a following vehicle is short
• When there is a significant difference in speed between your v ehicle and
the vehicle that enters the detection area
• When the difference in speed between your vehicle and another vehicle
is changing
• When a vehicle enters a detection area traveling at about the same
speed as your vehicle
• As your vehicle starts from a stop, a vehicle remains in the d etection area
• When driving up and down consecutive steep inclines, such as hills, dips
in the road, etc.
• When driving on roads with sharp bends, consecutive curves, or uneven
surfaces
• When vehicle lanes are wide, or when driving on the edge of a lane, and
the vehicle in an adjacent lane is far away from your vehicle
• When a bicycle carrier or other accessory is installed to the rear of the vehicle
• When there is a significant difference in height between your vehicle and
the vehicle that enters the detection area
• Immediately after the Blind Spot Monitor main switch is turned on
● Instances of the Blind Spot Monitor function unnecessarily dete cting a vehi-
cle and/or object may increase in the following situations:
• When the sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact to the se nsor or its
surrounding area
• When the distance between your vehicle and a guardrail, wall, etc. that
enters the detection area is short
• When driving up and down consecutive steep inclines, such as h ills, dips
in the road, etc.
• When vehicle lanes are narrow, or when driving on the edge of a lane, and a vehicle traveling in a lane other than the adjacent lanes enters the
detection area
• When driving on roads with sharp bends, consecutive curves, or uneven
surfaces
• When the tires are slipping or spinning
• When the distance between your vehicle and a following vehicle is short

●Changes in the vehicle
• The vehicle is tilted a large amount
• The height of the vehicle has drastically changed due to the c arried load
(the nose tilts up or down)
• The direction of the sensor has deviated due to a collision or other impact
■ In the unlikely event that the Intelligent Clearance Sonar func tion mistak-
enly operates at a crossing or elsewhere
Even in the unlikely event that the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function mis-
takenly operates at a crossing or elsewhere, brake control is c anceled after
approximately 2 seconds, allowing you to proceed forward and leave the
area. Furthermore, brake control is also canceled when the brak e pedal is
depressed. Depressing the accelerator pedal again allows you to proceed
forward and leave the area.
■ Situations in which the syst em may not operate normally
In the following situations, the system may not operate normall y.
● Environmental influence
• There is an obstacle that cannot be detected between the vehic le and
another obstacle that can be detected
• An obstacle such as another vehicle, a motorcycle, a bicycle o r a pedes-
trian cuts in front of the vehicle or jumps out from the side.
● Influence from the weather
• Ice, snow, dirt, etc., has adhered to the sensor (if removed, the system
returns to normal)
• Heavy rain or water strikes the vehicle
• In severe weather such as fog, snow or a sand storm • The area around the sensor is extremely hot or cold
• The wind is strong

●Influence from other sonic waves
• An ultrasonic wave source is nearby, such as the horn or parki ng assist
system of another vehicle, a vehicle detector, a motorcycle eng ine or the
air brake of a large vehicle
• Electronic components (such as a backlit license plate (especi ally fluo-
rescent types), fog lights, a fender pole or a wireless antenna ) are
installed near the sensors
● Changes in the vehicle
• The vehicle is tilted a large amount
• The height of the vehicle has drastically changed due to the c arried load
(the nose tilts up or down)
• The direction of the sensor has deviated due to a collision or other impact

■ When removing and instal ling the 12-volt battery
The system needs to be initialized.
The system can be initialized by driving the vehicle straight a head for 5 sec-
onds or more at a speed of approximately 22 mph (35 km/h) or hi gher.
■ When “ICS Unavailable” is displ ayed on the multi-information display
and the ICS OFF indicator flashes
● Ice, snow, dirt, etc., may have adhered to the sensor. If this occurs, remove
the ice, snow, dirt, etc., from the sensor to return the system to normal.
Also, a warning message may be displayed at low temperatures du e to ice
forming on the sensor, and the sensor may not detect obstacles. Once the
ice melts, the system will return to normal.
● If this message is shown even after removing dirt from the sensor, or shown
when the sensor was not dirty to begin with, have the vehicle i nspected at
your Toyota dealer.
● System initialization may not have been performed after removal and instal-
lation of the 12-volt battery. Perform system initialization.
■ When “ICS Malfunction Visit Yo ur Dealer” is displayed on the mu lti-infor-
mation display, the ICS OFF indi cator flashes and the buzzer sounds
The system may not be operating properly. Have the vehicle inspected at

WARNING
■For safe use
Do not rely solely upon the system. Relying solely upon the sys tem may
lead to an unexpected accident.
● Driving safely is the sole responsibility of the driver. Pay ca reful attention
to the surrounding conditions in order to ensure safe driving. The Intelli-
gent Clearance Sonar function can provide support to lessen the severity
of collisions. However, it may not operate depending on the sit uation.
● The Intelligent Clearance Sonar function is not a system designed to com-
pletely stop the vehicle. Furthermore, even if the Intelligent Clearance
Sonar function is able to stop the vehicle, brake control is canceled after
approximately 2 seconds, so depress the brake pedal immediately .
■ In order for the system to operate properly
Make sure to observe the following precautions regarding the se nsors
(  P. 431). Failure to observe these precautions may cause the sensors
not to operate properly, and may result in an unexpected accide nt.
● Do not perform work such as modification, disassembly or painti ng
● Only perform replacements using genuine parts
● Do not subject the area around the sensors to any impacts
● Do not damage the sensors, and always keep them clean
■ Handling the suspension
Do not modify the suspension, as changes to the height or incli ne of the
vehicle may prevent the sensors from correctly detecting obstac les, may
cause the system not operate, or may cause the system to operate unnec-
essarily.

water directly on the sensors. The sensors may not function pro perly if
subjected to an impact from strong water pressure.
● When using steam to wash the vehicle, do not direct steam too c lose to
the sensors. The sensors may not function properly if subjected to steam.
■ Preventing unnecessary operation
In the following situations, turn the Intelligent Clearance Son ar function off.
The system may operate even though there is no possibility of a collision.
● A chassis roller, chassis dynamo, free roller or similar equipm ent is being
used for an inspection, etc.
● The vehicle is being loaded onto a ship, truck or other transpo rt vessel
● The suspension has been lowered or tires that have a different size than
the genuine tires are equipped
● The height of the vehicle has drastically changed due to the ca rried load
(the nose tilts up or down).
