A transponder chip for engine immobilizer system has been placed in the head of the master and sub keys. These chips are needed to enable the system to function correctly, so be careful not to lose these keys. If you make your own duplicate key, you will not be able to cancel the system or start the engine.
Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds of keys. 1. Master keys (black)—
These keys work in every lock. Your Toyota dealer will need one of them to make a new key with a built−in trans- ponder chip. Since the doors and trunk lid can be locked without a key, you should al- ways carry a spare master key in case you accidentally lock your keys inside the vehicle.
10
NOTICE
When using a key containing a trans- ponder chip, observe the following precautions: (cid:1) When starting the engine, do not use the key with a key ring resting on the key grip and do not press the key ring against the key grip. Otherwise the engine may not start, or may stop soon after it starts.
2007MY COROLLA from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM12B32U)

(cid:1) Do not bend the key grip.
(cid:1) When starting the engine, do not use the key with other transponder keys around (including keys of oth- er vehicles) and do not press other key plates against the key grip. Otherwise the engine may not start, or may stop soon after it starts. If this happens, remove the key once and then insert it again after remov- ing other transponder keys (includ- ing keys of other vehicles) from the ring or while gripping or covering them with your hand to start the engine.
(cid:1) Do not cover the key grip with any material that cuts off electromagnet- ic waves.
(cid:1) Do not knock the key hard against
other objects.
(cid:1) Do not leave the key exposed to high temperatures for a long period, such as on the dashboard and hood under direct sunlight.
(cid:1) Do not put the key in water or
wash it in an ultrasonic washer.
(cid:1) Do not use the key with electromag-
netic materials.

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
(cid:1) Do not drive the vehicle unless the occupants are properly seated. Do not allow any passengers to sit on top of a folded−down seatback, or in the luggage compartment or car- go area. Persons not properly seated and/or not properly re- strained by seat belts can be se- verely injured in the event of emer- gency braking or a collision.

Front seats— —Front seat precautions Driver seat
CAUTION
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.
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (“NHTSA”) advises:
Since the risk zone for driver airbag
is the first 50—75 mm (2—3 in.) of
inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10
in.) from your driver airbag provides
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
in.) away now, you can
change your driving position in sever-
al ways:
(cid:1) Move your seat to the rear as far
as you can while still reaching the
pedals comfortably.
(10
34
(cid:1) 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, sim-
ply 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.
(cid:1) If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the air- bag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as rec- ommended by NHTSA above, while still maintaining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instrument panel controls.

Front passenger seat
Front seats (with SRS side airbags)
CAUTION
CAUTION
The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or serious injury es- pecially if the front passenger is very close to the airbag. The front passen- ger seat should be as far from the airbag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits upright.
The SRS side airbags are installed in the driver and front passenger seats. Observe the following precautions. (cid:1) Do not lean against the front door when the vehicle is in use, since the side airbag inflates with consid- erable speed and force. Otherwise, you may be killed or seriously in- jured.
(cid:1) Do not use seat accessories which cover the area where the side air- bags inflate. Such accessories may prevent the side airbags from acti- vating correctly, causing death or serious injury.
(cid:1) Do not modify or replace the seats or upholstery of the seats with side airbags. Such change may prevent the side airbag system from activat- ing correctly, disable the system or cause the side airbags to inflate ac- cidentally, resulting in death or seri- ous injury.
—Seat adjustment precautions
CAUTION
(cid:1) Do not adjust the seat while the vehicle is moving as the seat may unexpectedly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. (cid:1) Be careful that the seat does not
hit a passenger or luggage.

Avoid the seatback any more than needed. The seat belts pro- vide maximum protection in a frontal or rear collision when the driver and the front passenger are sitting up straight and well back in the seats. If you are reclined, the lap belt may slide past your hips and apply re- straint forces directly to the abdomen or your neck may contact the shoul- der belt. In the event of a frontal collision, the more the seat is re- clined, the greater the risk of death or personal injury.
FOLDING DOWN REAR SEAT 1. To unlock the seatback, pull the le-
ver in the trunk.
2. Fold down the seatback. Each seatback can be folded separately. This will enlarge the trunk as far as the seatbacks. See “—Stowage precautions” on page 194 in Section 2 for precautions when loading luggage.
NOTICE
Make sure the luggage loaded in the enlarged trunk will not damage the webbing of the rear center seat belt when the right seatback is folded down.

Seat belts— —Seat belt precautions Toyota strongly urges that the driver and passengers in the vehicle be properly re- strained at all times with the seat belts provided. Failure to do so could increase the chance of injury and/or the severity of injury in accidents. The seat belts provided for your vehicle are designed for people of adult size, large enough to properly wear them. Child. Use a child restraint system ap- propriate for the child until the child be- comes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belts. See “Child restraint” on page 66 in this Section for details. If a child is too large for a child restraint system, the child should sit in the rear seat and must be restrained using the vehicle’s seat belt. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. If a child must sit in the front seat, the seat belts should be worn properly. If an accident occurs and the seat belts are not worn properly, the force of the rapid infla- tion of the airbag may cause death or serious injury to the child.
Do not allow any children to stand up or kneel on either rear or front seats. An unrestrained child could suffer serious in- jury or death during emergency braking or a collision. Also, do not let the child sit on your lap. Holding a child in your arms does not provide sufficient restraint. Pregnant woman. Toyota recommends the use of a seat belt.

the extender
(cid:1) If the seat belt extender has been connected to the driver’s seat belt buckle without wearing the seat belt when using the driver’s seat, the SRS driver’s air- bag system will judge that the driv- er wears the seat belt even if not wearing it. In this case, the driver’s airbag may not activate correctly, causing death or serious injury in the event of collision. Be sure to wear the seat belt with the seat belt extender.
(cid:1) Make sure the front passenger oc- cupant classification indicator light indicates “ON” when using the seat belt extender for the front passen- ger seat. If the indicator light indi- cates “OFF”, disconnect the extend- er tongue from the seat belt buckle, then reconnect the seat belt. Recon- nect the seat belt extender after making sure the indicator light indi- cates “ON”. If you use the seat belt extender while the light indicates “OFF”, the front passen- ger airbag and side airbag on the front passenger side may not acti- vate correctly, which could cause death or serious injury in the event of collision.
