From front
From rear1. SEAT POSITION ADJUSTING LEVER
From front—
Hold the center of the lever and pull it
up. Then slide the seat to the desired
position with slight body pressure and
release the lever.
From rear—
Pull the lever up. Then slide the seat
to the desired position and release the
lever.
When a person sits in the third seat
center position, adjust both seat cush-
ions to the same position.
Do not place anything under the seats. It
might interfere with the seatlock mecha-
nism.
2. SEATBACK ANGLE ADJUSTING LEVER
From front—
Lean forward and pull the lever toward
you. Then lean back to the desired
angle and release the lever.
From rear—
Push down the lever. Push the seatback
forward or pull it backward to the de-
sired angle and release the lever. When a person sits in the third seat
center position, align both seatbacks at
the same angle.
CAUTION
Adjust both seat cushions to the
same position and align both seat-
backs at the same angle when a
person sits in the third seat center
position. Otherwise, the person can-
not wear the seat belt properly and
this may cause serious injuries in
a collision.
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 maximum protection in a
frontal or rear collision when the
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 directly to the abdomen.
Therefore, in the event of a frontal
collision, the risk of personal injury
may increase with increasing recline
of the seatback.

If the seat belt cannot be pulled out of the
retractor, firmly pull the belt and release
it. You will then be able to smoothly pull
the belt out of the retractor.
When a passenger ’s shoulder belt is com-
pletely extended and is then retracted
even slightly, the belt is locked in that
position and cannot be extended. This fea-
ture is used to hold the child restraint
system securely. (For details, see “Child
restraint” on page 82 in this section.) To
free the belt again, fully retract the belt
and then pull the belt out once more.
CAUTION
After inserting the tab, make sure
the tab and buckle are locked and
that the belt is not twisted.
Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in
the buckle as this may prevent you
from properly latching the tab and
buckle.
If the seat belt does not function
normally, immediately contact your
Toyota dealer. Do not use the seat
until the seat belt is fixed. It cannot
protect an adult occupant or your
child from injury.
Seat belts with an adjustable shoulder
anchor—
Adjust the shoulder anchor position to
your size.
To raise: Slide the anchor up.
To lower: Push in the lock release button
and slide the anchor down.
After adjustment make sure the anchor is
locked in position.
CAUTION
Always make sure the shoulder belt
is positioned across the center of
your shoulder. The belt should be
kept away from your neck, but not
falling off your shoulder. Failure to
do so could reduce the amount of
protection in an accident and cause
serious injuries in a collision.

CENTER SEAT BELT OF THE THIRD
SEATS
The center seat belt of the third seats is
a 3point type restraint with 2 buckles.
Both seat belt buckles must be correctly
located and securely latched for proper
operation.
Make sure that buckle 1 (with light gray
bucklerelease button) is securely latched
for ready use of the center seat belt.Two buckles and tabs for rear center
seat belt
The two buckles for the rear center seat
belt of the third seats are distinguished
with colors of the buckle release button.
Also the two tabs have different shape for
its end so that the belt is not buckled in
the wrong place.Buckle 1 (with red bucklerelease but-
ton)—Properly matches with concave
end tab
Buckle 2 (with light gray bucklere-
lease button)—Properly matches with
round end tab
CAUTION
Make sure the both buckles are cor-
rectly located and securely latched.
Failure to properly match the buckle
and tab may cause severe injury in
case of an accident or a co llision.

This indicator comes on when the igni-
tion key is turned to the “ON” position.
It goes off after about 6 seconds. This
means the front seat belt pretensioners
are operating properly.
This warning light system monitors the
airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sen-
sors, side and curtain shield airbag sen-
sors, front seat belt pretensioner assem-
blies, inflators, warning light,
interconnecting wiring and power sources.
(For details, see “Service reminder indica-
tors and warning buzzers” on page 125 in
Section 15.)The front seat belt pretensioner system
mainly consists of the following compo-
nents and their locations are shown in the
illustration.1. Front airbag sensors
2. SRS warning light
3. Front seat belt pretensioner assemblies
4. Airbag sensor assembly
The front seat belt pretensioners are con-
trolled by the airbag sensor assembly. The
airbag sensor assembly consists of a saf-
ing sensor and airbag sensor. When the front seat belt pretensioners are
activated, an operating noise may be
heard and a small amount of smokelike
gas may be released. This gas is harm-
less and does not indicate that a fire is
occurring.
Once the front seat belt pretensioners
have been activated, the seat belt retrac-
tors remain locked.
CAUTION
Do not modify, remove, strike or open
the front seat belt pretensioner as-
semblies, airbag sensor or surround-
ing area or wiring. Doing any of
these may cause sudden operation of
the front seat belt pretensioners or
disable the system, which could re-
sult in death or serious injury.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death or serious inju-
ries.

The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) front airbags are designed to pro-
vide further protection for the driver
and front passenger in addition to the
primary safety protection provided by
the seat belts.
In response to a severe frontal impact,
the SRS front airbags work together with
the seat belts to help reduce injury by
inflating. The SRS front airbags help to
reduce injuries mainly to the driver ’s or
front passenger ’s head or chest caused by
directly hitting the steering wheel or dash-
board. The front passenger airbag is acti-
vated even with no passenger in the front
seat.
Be sure to wear your seat belt properly.Your vehicle is equipped with a crash
sensing and diagnostic module, which will
record the use of the seat belt restraint
system by the driver and front pass
enger
when the SRS front airbags are inflated.
CAUTION
The driver or front passenger who is
too close to the steering wheel or
dashboard during airbag deployment
can be killed or seriously injured. To-
yota strongly recommends that:
The driver sit as far back as pos-
sible from the steering wheel while
still maintaining control of the ve-
hicle.
The front passenger sit as far back
as possible from the dashboard.
All vehicle occupants be properly
restrained using the available seat
belts.
This indicator comes on when the igni-
tion key is turned to the “ON” position.
It goes off after about 6 seconds. This
means the SRS front airbags are oper-
ating properly.
This warning light system monitors the
airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sen-
sors, side and curtain shield airbag sen-
sors, front seat belt pretensioner assem-
blies, inflators, warning light,
interconnecting wiring and power sources.
