WARNING

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause the driver’s floor mat to slip, possibly interfering
with the pedals while driving. An unexpectedly high speed may result or it may
become difficult to stop the vehicle. This could lead to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.

■

When installing the driver’s floor mat

●

Do not use floor mats designed for other models or different model year
vehicles, even if they are Toyota Genuine floor mats.

●

Only use floor mats designed for the driver’s seat.

●

Always install the floor mat securely using the retaining hooks (clips) pro-
vided.

●

Do not use two or more floor mats on top of each other.

●

Do not place the floor mat bottom-side up or upside-down.

■

Before driving

●

Check  that  the  floor  mat  is  securely
fixed  in  the  correct  place  with  all  the
provided  retaining  hooks  (clips).  Be
especially careful to perform this check
after cleaning the floor.

●

With the hybrid system stopped and the
shift lever in P, fully depress each pedal
to the floor to make sure it does not
interfere with the floor mat.

1-1. For safe use

Adjust  the  angle  of  the  seat-
back  so  that  you  are  sitting
straight  up  and  so  that  you  do
not  have  to  lean  forward  to
steer. (

P. 149)

Adjust the seat so that you can
depress the pedals fully and so
that your arms bend slightly at
the elbow when gripping the
steering wheel. (

P. 149)

Lock the head restraint in place with the center of the head restraint
closest to the top of your ears. (

P. 158)

Wear the seat belt correctly. (

P. 28)

Make sure that all occupants are wearing their seat belts before driv-
ing the vehicle. (

P. 28)

Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child
becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
(

P. 54)

Make sure that you can see backward clearly by adjusting the inside
and outside rear view mirrors properly. (

P. 162, 1 64)

WARNING

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

●

Do not adjust the position of the driver’s seat while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

●

Do not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seatback.
A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce
the effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint.

●

Do not place anything under the front seats.
Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the seat
tracks and stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an acci-
dent and the adjustment mechanism may also be damaged.

●

Always observe the legal speed limit when driving on public roads.

●

When driving over long distances, take regular breaks before you start to
feel tired.
Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while driving, do not force yourself to con-
tinue driving and take a break immediately.

1-1. For safe use

● Extend the shoulder belt so that

it comes fully over the shoulder,
but does not come into contact
with the neck or slide off the
shoulder.

● Position the lap belt as low as

possible over the hips.

● Adjust the position of the seat-

back. Sit up straight and well
back in the seat.

● Do not twist the seat belt.

To fasten the seat belt, push the
plate into the buckle until a click
sound is heard.
To release the seat belt, press
the release button.

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 impact. 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 then 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 more. (

P. 58)

■

Child seat belt usage
The seat belts of your vehicle were principally designed for persons of adult
size.

●

Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child
becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt. (

P. 54)

●

When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat
belt, follow the instructions regarding seat belt usage. (

P. 28)

■

Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate for
the first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent collisions.

■

Seat belt extender

■

Rear seat belt

If  your  seat  belts  cannot  be  fastened
securely  because  they  are  not  long
enough,  a  personalized  seat  belt
extender  is  available  from  your  Toyota
dealer free of charge.

Use the seat belt after passing it through
the guide if the seat belt comes free from
the guide.

WARNING

Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of
sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.

■

Wearing a seat belt

●

Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt.

●

Always wear a seat belt properly.

●

Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt
for more than one person at once, including children.

●

Toyota recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and always
use a seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.

●

To achieve a proper seating position, do not recline the seat more than
necessary. The seat belt is most effective when the occupants are sitting
up straight and well back in the seats.

●

Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.

●

Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips.

■

Pregnant women

■

People suffering illness
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way. (

P. 28)

Obtain medical advice and wear the seat
belt in the proper way. (

P. 28)

Women  who  are  pregnant  should  posi-
tion the lap belt as low as possible over
the  hips  in  the  same  manner  as  other
occupants,  extending  the  shoulder  belt
completely over the shoulder and avoid-
ing  belt  contact  with  the  rounding  of  the
abdominal area.
If  the  seat  belt  is  not  worn  properly,  not
only  the  pregnant  woman,  but  also  the
fetus could suffer death or serious injury
as  a  result  of  sudden  braking  or  a  colli-
sion.

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

■

When children are in the vehicle
Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes
twisted around a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries
that could result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used
to cut the belt.

■

Seat belt pretensioners

●

Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger's seat.
Doing so will disperse the passenger's weight, which prevents the sensor
from detecting the passenger's weight properly. As a result, the seat belt
pretensioner for the front passenger's seat may not activate in the event of
a collision.

●

If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will come on. In
that case, the seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced at
your Toyota dealer.

■

Adjustable shoulder anchor
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 death or serious injuries in the event of a sudden stop,
sudden swerve or accident. (

P. 29)

■

Seat belt damage and wear

●

Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be
jammed in the door.

●

Inspect the seat belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose
parts. Do not use a damaged seat belt until it is replaced. Damaged seat
belts cannot protect an occupant from death or serious injury.

●

Ensure that the belt and plate are locked and the belt is not twisted.
If the seat belt does not function correctly, immediately contact your Toyota
dealer.

●

Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been
involved in a serious accident, even if there is no obvious damage.

●

Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of the
seat belts. Have any necessary repairs carried out by your Toyota dealer.
Inappropriate handling may lead to incorrect operation.

●

Always make sure the shoulder belt passes through the guide when using
the seat belt. Failure to properly position the belt may reduce the amount
of protection in an accident and could lead to death or serious injury in a
collision or sudden stop.

●

Always make sure that the seat belt is not twisted, does not get caught in
the guide or the seatback and is arranged in the proper position.
