Occupant restraint systems
Toyota encourages you and your family to take the time to read Section 1−3 of this Owner’s Manual carefully. In terms of helping you understand how you can receive the maximum benefit of the occupant restraint systems this vehicle provides, Section 1−3 of this Owner’s Manu- al is the most important section for you and your family to read. Section 1−3 describes the function and operation con- cerning seats, seat belts, SRS airbags and child re- straint systems of this vehicle and some potential haz- ards you should be aware of. These systems work to- gether along with the overall structure of this vehicle in order in the event of a crash. The effect of each system is enhanced when it is used properly and together with other systems. No single occupant restraint system can, by itself, provide you or your restraint which these systems can provide when used together. That for you and your family to understand the purpose and proper use of each of these systems and how they relate to each other.

The purpose of all occupant restraint systems is to help reduce the possibility of death or serious injury in the event of a collision. None of these systems, either indi- vidually or together, can ensure that there is no injury the more you know in the event of collision. However, about these systems and how to use them properly, the greater your chances become of surviving an accident without death or serious injury. Seat belts provide the primary restraint to all occupants of the vehicle, and every occupant of the vehicle should wear seat belts properly at all times. Children should always be secured in child restraint systems that are appropriate for their age and size. SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) airbags are, as their names imply, designed to work with, and be supplemental to, seat belts and are not substitutes for them. SRS airbags can be very effective in reducing the risk of head and chest injuries by preventing contact of the head and chest with interior portions of
the vehicle.
the SRS airbags must deploy In order to be effective, with tremendous speed. The rapid deployment of the SRS airbags makes the SRS airbags themselves poten- tial sources of death or serious injury if an occupant is too close to an airbag, or if an object or some part of his or her body has been placed between the occupant and the airbag at the time of deployment. This is just one example of how the instructions in Section 1−3 of this Owner’s Manual will help ensure proper use of the occupant restraint systems, and increase the safety they can provide to you and your family in the event of an accident. Toyota recommends you to read the provisions in Sec- tion 1−3 carefully and refer to them as needed during your time of ownership of
this vehicle.

injection system/sequential multiport
As the installation of a mobile two−way radio system in your vehicle could affect electronic systems such as multiport fuel injection system, electronic throttle control system, elec- tronically controlled fuel pump, electronic engine control system, cruise control system, anti−lock brake system, SRS airbag system and seat belt pretensioner system, be sure to check with your Toyota dealer for precaution- ary measures or special instructions regarding installa- tion.
A wide variety of non−genuine spare parts and accessories for Toyota vehicles are currently available in the market. Using these spare parts and accessories which are not genuine Toyota products may adversely affect the safety of your vehicle, even though these parts may be approved by certain authorities in your country. Toyota therefore cannot accept any liability or guarantee spare parts and accesso- ries which are not genuine Toyota products, nor for re- placement or installation involving such parts. This vehicle should not be modified with non−genuine Toyota products.

When using a key containing a trans- ponder chip, observe the following precautions: z 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.
z 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.
z Do not bend the key grip. z Do not cover the key grip with any material that cuts off electromagnet- ic waves.
z Do not knock the key hard against
other objects.
z Do not
leave the key exposed to high temperatures for a long period, such as on the dashboard and hood under direct sunlight.
z Do not put
the key in water or

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
D 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 killed or severely injured in the event of emergency braking or a collision. D During driving, do not allow any passengers to stand up or move around between seats. Otherwise, death or severe injuries can occur in the event of emergency 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. 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 (10 in.) away now, you can change your driving position in sever- al ways: D Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the pedals comfortably.D 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.D 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 above, while still maintain- ing control of the foot pedals, steer- ing wheel, and your view of the in- strument panel controls.

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.

D Do not put objects under the seats. Otherwise, the objects may interfere with the seat−lock mechanism or unexpectedly push up the seat posi- tion adjusting lever and the seat may suddenly move, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle. D While adjusting the seat, do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts. Otherwise, your hands or fingers may be caught and injured.

It is essential to replace the entire assembly after it has been worn in a severe impact even if damage to the assembly is not obvious. Belts should not be worn with straps twisted. Each belt assembly must only be used by one occupant; it is danger- ous to put a belt around a child being carried on the occupant’s lap. WARNING: No modifications or additions should be made by the user which will either prevent the seat belt adjusting devices from op- erating to remove slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack.
