Seats
While the vehicle is being driven, all ve-
hicle occupants should have the seatback
upright, sit well back in the seat and prop-
erly wear the seat belts provided.
CAUTION
!
Do not drive the vehicle unless the
occupants are properly seated. Do
not allow sitting on top of a
folded − down seatback, or in the
luggage compartment. Persons not
properly seated and/or properly re-
strained by seat belts can be se-
verely injured in the event of emer-
gency braking or a collision.
!
During driving, do not allow pas-
sengers to stand up or move
around between seats. Severe inju-
ries can occur in the event of emer-
gency braking or a collision.
CAUTION
The SRS side airbags are installed in
the driver and front passenger seats,
observe the following precautions.
!
Do not lean against the front door
when the vehicle is in use. The side
airbag inflates with considerable
speed and force; you may be killed
or seriously injured.
!
Do not modify or replace the seats
or surface of the front seats with
the side airbags. Such changes may
disable the system or cause the
side airbags to inflate, resulting in
death or serious injury. Consult
your Toyota dealer.
!
Do not use accessories for the
seats which cover the parts where
the side airbags should inflate.
Such accessories may prevent the
side airbags from activating correct-
ly, causing death or serious injury.
—Seat adjustment precautions
Adjust the driver’s seat so that the foot
pedals, steering wheel and instrument
panel controls are within easy reach of
the driver.
CAUTION
!
Adjustments should not be made
while the vehicle is moving, as the
seat may unexpectedly move and
cause the driver to lose control of
the vehicle.
!
When adjusting the seat, be careful
not to hit the seat against a pas-
senger or luggage.
!
After adjusting the seat position,
try sliding it forward and backward
to make sure it is locked in posi-
tion.
!
After adjusting the seatback, exert
body pressure to make sure it is
locked in position.
!
Do not put objects under the seats
as they may interfere with the seat −
lock mechanism or unexpectedly
push up the seat position adjusting

causing the driver to lose control of
the vehicle.
