1-1.For safe use

Use only floor mats designed
specifically for vehicles of the
same model and model year as
your vehicle. Fix them securely
in place onto the carpet.

Insert the retaining hooks
(clips) into the floor mat eye-
lets.

Turn the upper knob of each
retaining hook (clip) to secure
the floor mats in place.

Always align the

marks

The shape of the retaining hooks
(clips) may differ from that shown in
the illustration.

Before driving

Observe the following
before starting off in the
vehicle to ensure safety of
driving.

Floor mat

WARNING

Observe the following precau-

tions.

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 vehi-

cle. This could lead to an acci-

dent, 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) provided.

●

Do not use two or more floor

mats on top of each other.

●

Do not place the floor mat bot-

tom-side up or upside-down.

1-1. For safe use

For safety and secu

rity

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.141)

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.141)

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



Wear the seat belt correctly.
(



P.27)

WARNING

■

Before driving

●

Check that the floor mat is

securely fixed in the correct

place with all the provided

retaining hooks (clips). Be espe-

cially 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 inter-

fere with the floor mat.

For safe driving

For safe driving, adjust the
seat and mirror to an appro-
priate position before driv-
ing.

Correct driving posture

1-1. For safe use

Make sure that all occupants are
wearing their seat belts before
driving the vehicle. (



P.27)

properly wear the vehicle’s seat
belt. (



backward clearly by adjusting
the inside and outside rear view
mirrors properly. (



P.147, 148)

WARNING

■

For safe driving

Observe the following precau-

tions.

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 accident and the

adjustment mechanism may

also be damaged.

●

Always observe the legal speed

limit when driving on public

roads.

●

When driving over long dis-

tances, take regular breaks

before you start to feel tired.

Also, if you feel tired or sleepy

while driving, do not force your-

self to continue driving and take

a break immediately.

●

Take care when adjusting the

seat position to ensure that

other passengers are not

injured by the moving seat.

●

When adjusting the seat posi-

tion, do not put your hands

under the seat or near the mov-

ing parts to avoid injury. Fingers

or hands may become jammed

in the seat mechanism.

For safety and secu

rity

Seat belts

Make sure that all occu-
pants are wearing their seat
belts before driving the
vehicle.

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 prop-

erly.

●

Each seat belt should be used

by one person only. Do not use

a seat belt for more than one

person at once, including chil-

dren.

●

Toyota recommends that chil-

dren 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

Obtain medical advice and wear

the seat belt in the proper way.

(



P.28)

Women who are pregnant should

position the lap belt as low as

possible over the hips in the same

manner as other occupants,

extending the shoulder belt com-

pletely over the shoulder and

avoiding belt contact with the

rounding of the abdominal area.
If the seat belt is not worn prop-

erly, 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.

■

People suffering illness

Obtain medical advice and wear

the seat belt in the proper way.

(



P.28)

■

When children are in the vehi-

cle



P.64

■

Seat belt damage and wear

●

Do not damage the seat belts

by allowing the belt, plate, or

buckle to be jammed in the

door.

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



Do not twist the seat belt.

■

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.48)

●

When the child becomes large

enough to properly wear the vehi-

cle’s seat belt, follow the instruc-

tions regarding seat belt usage.

(



P.27)

■

Seat belt extender

If your seat belts cannot be fastened

securely because they are not long

enough, a personalized seat belt

extender is available from your Toy-

ota dealer free of charge.

WARNING

●

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 vehi-

cle has been involved in a seri-

ous 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. Inap-

propriate handling may lead to

incorrect operation.

Correct use of the seat
belts

WARNING

■

Using a seat belt extender

●

Do not wear the seat belt

extender if you can fasten the

seat belt without the extender.

1-1. For safe use

For safety and secu

rity

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 .

■

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.48)

■

Rear seat belt

Use the seat belt after passing it

through the guide if the seat belt

comes free from the guide.

Push the seat belt shoulder

WARNING

●

Do not use the seat belt

extender when installing a child

restraint system because the

belt will not securely hold the

child restraint system, increas-

ing the risk of death or serious

injury in the event of an acci-

dent.

●

The personalized extender may

not be safe on another vehicle,

when used by another person,

or at a different seating position

other than the one originally

intended.

NOTICE

■

When using a seat belt

extender

When releasing the seat belt,

press on the buckle release but-

ton on the extender, not on the

seat belt.

This helps prevent damage to the

vehicle interior and the extender

itself.
