Seat Precautions
When returning a rear seat to its original position, place the seat belt
in its normal position. Verify that the seat belt pulls out and retracts.
WARNING
■Make sure the adjustable componen ts of a seat are locked in place
Adjustable seats and seatbacks that are not securely locked are dangerous.
In a sudden stop or collision, the seat or seatback could move, causing
injury. Make sure the adjustable components of the seat are locked in place
by attempting to slide the seat forward and backward and rocking the seat-
back.
■ Do not drive with the seatback unlocked
All of the seatbacks play an important role in your protection in a vehicle.
Leaving the seatback unlocked is dangerous as it can allow passengers to
be ejected or thrown around and baggage to strike occupants in a sudden
stop or collision, resulting in severe injury. After adjusting the seatback at
any time, even when there are no other passengers, rock the seatback to
make sure it is locked in place.
■ Adjust the driver’s seat only when the vehicle is stopped
Adjusting the driver’s seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. The
driver could lose control of the vehicle and have an accident.
■ Do not modify or replace the front seats
Modifying or replacing the front seat s such as replacing the upholstery or
loosening any bolts is dangerous. The front seats contain air bag compo-
nents essential to the supplemental re straint system. Such modifications
could damage the supplemental restraint system and result in serious injury.
Consult your Toyota dealer if there is any need to remove or reinstall the
front seats.
■ Do not drive with damaged front seats
Driving with damaged front seats is dangerous. A collision, even one not
strong enough to inflate the air bags, could damage the front seats which
contain essential air bag components. If there was a subsequent collision,
an air bag may not deploy which could lead to injuries. Always have your
Toyota dealer inspect the front seats, front seat belt pretensioners and air
bags after a collision.

Essential Safety Equipment
WARNING
■Do not drive with either front seats reclined
Sitting in a reclined position while the vehicle is moving is dangerous
because you do not get the full protection from seat belts. During sudden
braking or a collision, you can slide under the lap belt and suffer serious
internal injuries. For maximum protection, sit well back and upright.
■ Do not place an object such as a cushion between the seatback and
your back
Putting an object such as a cushion between the seatback and your back is
dangerous because you will be unable to maintain a safe driving posture
and the seat belt cannot function at its full capacity in a collision, which
could result in a serious accident, injury or death.
■ Do not place objects under the seat
The object could get stuck and cause the seat to not be fixed securely, and
result in an accident.
■ Do not stack cargo higher than the seatbacks
Stacking luggage or other cargo higher than the seatbacks is dangerous.
During sudden braking or a collision, objects can fly around and become
projectiles that may hit and injure passengers.
■ Make sure luggage and cargo is secured before driving
Not securing cargo while driving is dangerous as it could move or be
crushed during sudden braking or a collision and cause injury.
■ Never allow a passenger to sit or stand on the folded seatback while
the vehicle is moving
Driving with a passenger on the folded seatback is dangerous. Allowing a
child to sit up on the folded seatback while the vehicle is moving is particu-
larly dangerous. In a sudden stop or even a minor collision, a child not in a
proper seat or child-restraint system and seat belt could be thrown forward,
back or even out of the vehicle resulting in serious injuries or death. The
child in the baggage area could be thrown into other occupants and cause
serious injury.
■ Never give the car keys to children and do not allow them to play in the
vehicle
Playing with the folding rear seats is dangerous. Once the seatbacks are
back up, a child in the trunk would not be able to get out the way they had
entered. If you have small children, keep the seatbacks locked.

WARNING
■Always leave your car locked and keep the car keys safely away from
children
Leaving your car unlocked or the keys in reach of children is dangerous.
Children who find their way into the trunk through an unlocked rear seat-
back or an open trunk can become accidentally locked in the trunk. This
could result in death or brain damage fr om heat prostration, particularly in
the summer. Always lock the doors and the trunk, and as an added mea-
sure, keep the rear seatbacks locked, whether you have children in your
home or not.
■ When operating a seat
When operating a seat, be careful not to put your hands or fingers near the
moving parts of the seat or on the side trim to prevent injury.
■ When adjusting a seatback of a front seat
When returning a rear-reclined seatback of a front seat to its upright posi-
tion, make sure you hold onto the seatback with your other hand while oper-
ating the lever. If the seatback is not supported, it will flip forward suddenly
and could cause injury.
NOTICE
When moving the seats, make sure there is no cargo in the surrounding
area. If the cargo gets caught it could damage the cargo.
