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.

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.



Vehicles with knee airbag and Greenland

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.

The pretensioners do not activate
in the event of a minor frontal
impact, a minor side impact, a rear
impact or a vehicle rollover.



Vehicles without knee airbag (except for Greenland)

The pretensioners do not activate
in the event of a minor frontal
impact, a minor side impact, a rear
impact or a vehicle rollover.

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.

■

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. 59)

●

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

■

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 regulations

If seat belt regulations exist in the country where you reside, please contact
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer for seat belt replacement or installation.

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

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



P. 36)

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.

Seat belt pretensioners

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 any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.

■

Adjustable shoulder anchor (front seats)

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. 37)

■

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 any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

●

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

●

Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of the
seat belts. Have any necessary repairs carried out by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. Inap-
propriate handling may lead to incorrect operation.

The  main  SRS  airbag  system  components  are  shown  above.  The
SRS  airbag  system  is  controlled  by  the  airbag  sensor  assembly. As
the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the
airbags  with  non-toxic  gas  to  help  restrain  the  motion  of  the  occu-
pants.

SRS airbag precautions

Observe the following precautions regarding the SRS airbags.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.

●

The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts
properly.
The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts.

●

The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause
death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag.
Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 50 - 75 mm (2 - 3 in.)
of inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10 in.) from your driver airbag pro-
vides you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured from
the center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than
250 mm (10 in.) away now, you can change your driving position in sev-
eral ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the ped-

als comfortably.

• Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle designs vary,

many drivers can achieve the 250 mm (10 in.) distance, even with the
driver seat all the way forward, simply by reclining the back of the seat
somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to see the
road, raise yourself by using a firm, non-slippery cushion, or raise the
seat if your vehicle has that feature.

• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the

airbag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.

The seat should be adjusted as recommended above, while still maintain-
ing control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instru-
ment panel controls.

WARNING

SRS airbag precautions

●

The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and
can cause death or serious injury especially if the front passenger is very
close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far from the
airbag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits
upright.

●

Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or
seriously injured by a deploying airbag. An infant or child who is too small
to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint sys-
tem. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in
the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats are
safer for infants and children than the front passenger seat. (



P. 59)

●

Do not sit on the edge of the seat or
lean against the dashboard.

●

Do not allow a child to stand in front of
the SRS front passenger airbag unit or
sit on the knees of a front passenger.

●

Do not allow the front seat occupants to
hold items on their knees.

●

Do not lean against the door, the roof
side rail or the front, side and rear pil-
lars.
