OPERATION OF INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS—Keys
Chapter 1–2
Keys and Doors(cid:1) Keys (cid:1) Side doors (cid:1) Power windows (cid:1) Back door (cid:1) Hood (cid:1) Theft deterrent system (cid:1) Fuel tank cap (cid:1) Sport roof
The master key works in every lock. The subkey will not work in the glove- box. To protect things locked in the glovebox when you have your vehicle parked, leave the subkey with the attendant. Since the side doors and back door can be locked without a key, you should always carry a spare master key in case you acci- dentally lock your keys inside the vehicle.
Keep the key number plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle. If you should lose your keys of if you need additional keys, duplicates can be made by a Toyota dealer using the key number. You should also put a copy of the key number with your important papers.

Power windows
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the doors are closed and locked, espe- cially when small children are in the vehicle. Along with the proper use of seat belts, locking the doors helps prevent the driver and passengers from being thrown out from the ve- hicle during an accident. It also helps prevent the doors from being opened unintentionally.
The windows can be operated with the switch on each side door. The power windows work when the igni- tion switch is in the “‘ON‘‘ position. Howev- er, if both side doors are closed, they work for 60 seconds even after the ignition- switchh is turned off. They stop working when either side door is opened. OPERATING THE DRIVER’S WINDOW Use the switch on the driver’s door. Normal operation: The window moves as long as you hold the switch. To open: Lightly pull down the switch. To close: Push up the switch.
Automatic operation (to open only): Pull the switch completely down and then release it. The window will fully open.To stop the window partway, lightly push the switch up and then release it.
OPERATING THE PASSENGER’S WIN- DOW Use the switch on the passenger’s door. The driver’s door also has a switch that controls the passenger’s window. The window moves as long as you hold the switch. To open: Pull down the switch. To close: Push up the switch. If you push in the window lock button on the driver’s door, the passenger’s window cannot be operated.
CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you must do the following. (cid:1) Always make sure the head, hands and other parts of the body of all occupants are kept com- pletely inside the vehicle before you close the power windows. If someone’s neck, head or hands gets caught in a closing window, it could result in a serious injury. When anyone closes the power windows, be sure that they oper- ate the windows safely.
(cid:1) When small children are in the ve- hicle, never let them use the pow- er window switches without su- pervision. Use the window lock button to prevent them from mak- ing unexpected use of the switches.
(cid:1) Never leave small children alone in the vehicle, especially with the ignition key still inserted. They could use the power window switches and get trapped in a win- dow. Unattended children can be- come involved in serious acci- dents.

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. 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” 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 acci- dent occurs and the seat belts are not worn properly, the force of the rapid infla- tion of the airbag may cause serious injury to the child. Do not allow the child to stand up or kneel on either rear or front seats. An unre- strained child could suffer serious injury during emergency braking or a collision. Also, do not let the child sit on your lap. It does not provide sufficient restraint.
CAUTION
Use control for persons who are mentioned below in the use of the seat heater because it may make them feel too hot or cause burns at low temperatures (erythema, vari- cella). (cid:1) Baby, small child, elderly person, sick person or handicapped per- son
(cid:1) Persons who have delicate skin (cid:1) Persons who are exhausted (cid:1) Drunk person or those who have taken drugs which induce sleep (sleeping drug, cold remedy, etc.) To prevent the seat overheating, do not use the seat heater with a blan- ket, cushion, or other insulating ob- jects which cover the seat.

If the shoulder belt falls across the child’s neck or face, have the child sit slightly closer to the buckle side to the seat so that the belt lays across the shoulder. Pregnant woman. Toyota recommends the use of a seat belt. Ask your doctor for specific recommendations. The lap belt should be worn securely and as low as possible over the hips and not on the waist. Injured person. Toyota recommends the use of a seat belt. Depending on the injury, first check with your doctor for specific recommendations.
CAUTION
Persons should ride in their seats properly wearing their seat belts whenever the vehicle is moving. Otherwise, they are much more like- ly to suffer serious bodily injury in the event of sudden braking or a col- lision. When using the seat belts, observe the following: (cid:1) Use the belt for only one person at a time. Do not use a single belt for two or more people—even chil- dren.
(cid:1) Avoid reclining the seatbacks too much. The seat belts provide maxi- mum protection when the seat- backs are in the upright position. (See the seat adjustment instruc- tions.)
(cid:1) Be careful not to damage the belt webbing or hardware. Take care that they do not get caught or pinched in the seat or doors.
(cid:1) Inspect the belt system periodical- ly. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose parts. Damaged parts should be replaced. Do not disassemble or modify the system
(cid:1) Keep the belts clean and dry. If they need cleaning, use a mild soap solution or lukewarm water. Never use bleach, dye, or abrasive clean- ers—they may severely weaken the belts.
(cid:1) Replace the belt assembly (includ- ing bolts) If it has been used in a se- vere impact. The entire assembly should be replaced even if damage is not obvious.
—Seat belts
Adjust the seat as needed (front seats only) and sit up straight and well back int eh seat. To fasten your belt, pull it out of the retractor and insert the tab into the buckle. You will hear a click when the tab locks into the buckle. The seat belt length automatically adjusts to you size and the seat position. The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It also may lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to extend, and you can move around freely.
29
CAUTION
(cid:1) High–positioned
lap belts and loose–fitting belts both could in- crease the chance of injury due to sliding under the lap belt during an accident or other unintended re- sult. Keep the lap belts as low on your hip bone as possible.
(cid:1) For your safety, do not place the
shoulder belt under your arm.
If the seat belt cannot be pulled out of the retractor, firmly pull the belt and release it. You will then be able to smoothly pull the belt out of the retractor. When a passenger’s shoulder belt is com- pletely extended and is then retracted even slightly, the belt is locked in that posi- tion and cannot be extended. This feature is used to hold the child restraint system securely. (For details, see “Child restraint” in this chapter.) To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once more.
CAUTION
(cid:1) After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle are locked and that the belt is not twisted.
(cid:1) Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in the buckle as this may prevent you from properly latching the tab and buckle.
(cid:1) If the seat belt does not function immediately contact
normally, your Toyota dealer.
30
Adjust the position of the lap and shoulder belts Position the lap belt as low as possible on your hips—not your waist, then adjust it to a snug fit by pulling the shoulder portion upward through the latch plate.
To release the belt, press the buckle– release button and allow the belt to re- tract. If the belt does not retract smoothly, pull it out and check for kinks or twists. Then make sure it remains untwisted as it re- tracts.
CAUTION
For your safety, do not use the rear seat belts with the buckle in the rear seats.
—Seat belt extender If your seat belt cannot be fastened se- curely because it is not long enough, a personalized seatbelt extender is avail- able from your Toyota dealer free of charge. Please contact your local Toyota dealer so that the dealer can order the proper re- quired length for the extender. Bring the heaviest coat you expect to wear for prop- er measurement and selection of length. Additional ordering information is avail- able at your Toyota dealer.
CAUTION
When using the seat belt extender, observe the following. Failure to fol- low these instructions could result in less effectiveness of the seat belt restraint system in case of vehicle accident, increasing the chance of personal injury. (cid:1) Never use the seat belt extender if you can fasten the seat belt with- out it.
31
CAUTION
(cid:1) After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle are locked and that the seat belt extender is not twisted.
(cid:1) Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in the buckle as this may prevent you from properly latching the tab and buckle.
(cid:1) If the seat belt does not function normally, immediately contact your Toyota dealer.
(cid:1) Remember that the extender pro- vided for your may not be safe when used on a different vehicle, or for another person or at a differ- ent seating position than the one originally intended for.
To connect the extender to the seat belt, insert the tab into the seat belt buckle so that the “PRESS” signs on the buckle–release buttons of the ex- tender and the seat belt are both facing outward as shown. You will hear a click when the tab locks into the buckle. When releasing the seat belt, press on the buckle–release button on the extender, not on the seat belt. This helps prevent damage to the vehicle interior and extend- er itself. When not in use, remove the extender and store in the vehicle for future use.

SRS airbags
This indicator comes on when the ignition key is turned to the “ACC” or “ON” position. It goes off after about 6
seconds. This means the SRS airbags are operating properly. The SRS airbag warning light system monitors the airbag sensor assembly, in- flators, warning light, interconnecting wir- ing and power sources.The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys- tem) airbags are designed to provide further protection to the driver and front passenger when added to the pri- mary protection provided by the seat belts. In response to a severe frontal impact, the SRS airbags work together with the seat belts to help preventing or reduce injury by inflating, in order to decrease the likeli- hood of the driver’s or front passenger’s head or chest directly hitting the steering wheel or dashboard. The passenger air- bag is activated even with no passenger in the front seat.
The SRS airbag system is designed to activate in response to a severe frontal impact within the shaded area be- tween the arrows in the illustration. The SRS airbags will deploy if the severity of the impact is above the designed threshold level, comparable to an approxi- mate 20 km/h (14 mph) collision when im- pacting straight into a fixed barrier that does not move or deform. If the severity of the impact is below the above threshold level, the SRS airbags may not deploy.
33
However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher if the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which can move or deform on im- pact, or if it is involved in an underride col- lision (e.g. a collision in which the nose of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a truck. It is possible with collision severity at the marginal level of airbag sensor detection and activation that only one of your ve- hicle’s two airbags will deploy. For the safety of all occupants, be sure to always wear seat belts.
34
The SRS airbags are not designed to inflate if the vehicle is subjected to a side or rear impact, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low–speed frontal collision.
The airbag sensor assembly consists of a safing sensor and airbag sensor. In a severe frontal impact, sensors detect deceleration and the system triggers the airbag inflators. Then a chemical reaction in the inflators momentarily fills the air- bags with non–toxic nitrogen gas to help restrain the forward motion of the occu- pants.
When the airbags inflate, they produce a fairly loud noise and release some smoke along with the nitrogen or argon gas. This is not harmful and does not indicate a fire. Be sure to wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent minor skin irritation. Deployment of the airbags happen in a fraction of a second, so the airbags must inflate with considerable force. While the system is designed to reduce serious inju- ries, it may also cause minor burns or abrasions and swellings. Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, dashboard) may be hot for several minutes, but the airbags them- selves will not be hot. The airbags are de- signed to inflate only once. A crash severe enough to inflate the air- bags may break the windshield as the ve- hicle buckles. In vehicles with a passen- ger airbag the windshield may also be damaged by absorbing some of the force of the inflating airbag.
CAUTION
(cid:1) The SRS airbag system is de- signed only as a supplement to the primary protection of the driv- er side and front passenger side seat belt systems. The front seat occupants are particularly sus- ceptible to injury if they do not wear their seat belts; when sudden braking or a collision occurs, they may be thrown forward. To obtain maximum protection in an acci- dent, the driver and all passen- gers in the vehicle should always wear their seat belts when driving because serious injuries can re- sult to unrestrained occupants. For instructions and precautions concerning the seat belt systems, see “Seat belts” in this chapter. (cid:1) A baby or small child who is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured in a rear seat using a child restraint system.
(cid:1) Never put a rear–facing child re- straint system in the front seat be- cause the force of the rapid infla- tion of the passenger airbag can cause severe injury to the child. Vehicles with a passenger airbag display a caution label on the pas- senger side instrument panel as shown above to remind you not to install a rear–facing child re- straint system on the front seat.
35
(cid:1) If you must use a forward–facing child restraint system in the front seat, the seat must be moved as far back as possible. For instructions concerning the installation of a child restraint system, see “Child restraint” in this chapter.
(cid:1) Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean over the dashboard when the vehicle is in use. The airbags in- flate with considerable speed and force; you may be severely injured. Sit up straight and well back in the seat, and always use your seat belt.
(cid:1) Do not allow a child to stand up, or to kneel on the front passenger seat. The airbag inflates with con- siderable speed and force; the child may be severely injured.
(cid:1) Do not hold a child on your lap or in your arms. Use a child restraint system in the rear seat. For instruc- tions concerning the installation of a child restraint system, see “Child restraint” in this chapter.
36
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious inju- ries.
NOTICE
Do not perform any of the following changes without consulting your Toyota dealer. Such changes can interfere with proper operation of the SRS airbag system in some cases. (cid:2)Installation of electronic items such as a mobile two–way radio, cassette tape player or compact disc player
(cid:2)Modification of the suspension
system
structure
(cid:2)Modification of the front end
(cid:2)Attachment of a grille guard (bull bar, kangaroo bar, etc.), snow- plow, winches or any other equip- ment to the front end
(cid:2)Repairs made on or near the front end structure, console, steering column, steering wheel or dash- board near the front passenger airbag
(cid:1) Do not put objects on or in front of the dashboard or steering wheel pad that houses the airbag system. They might restrict inflation or cause pesonal injury as they are projected rearward.
(cid:1) Do not modify, remove or open any components or wiring, such as the steering wheel column cover, front passenger airbag cover, front pas- senger airbag, airbag sensor as- sembly. Doing any of these may cause sudden SRS airbag inflation or disable the system, which could result in personal injury.
This SRS airbag system has a service re- minder indicator to inform the driver of op- erating problems. If either of the following conditions occurs, this indicates a mal- function of the airbags. Contact your To- yota dealer as soon as possible to service the vehicle. (cid:1) The light does not come on when the ignition key is turned to the “ACC” or “ON” position, or remains on.
(cid:1) The light comes on while driving.

Child restraint— —Child restraint precautions Toyota strongly urges the use of child restraint systems for children small enough to use them. The laws of all fifty states in the U.S.A. and Canada now require the use of a child restraint system. Your vehicle conforms to SAEJ1819. 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. See “Seat belts” for details.
CAUTION
(cid:1) For effective protection in automo- bile accidents and sudden stops, children must be properly re- strained using a seat belt or child restraint system depending on the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is not a substi- tute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle’s in- terior.
In the following cases, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible: (cid:1) The SRS airbags have been inflated. (cid:1) The front part of the vehicle (shaded in the illustration) was involved in an ac- cident not of the extent to cause the SRS airbags to inflate
(cid:1) The pad section of the steering wheel front passenger airbag cover or (shaded is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged.

(cid:1) Toyota strongly urges use of a proper child restraint system which conforms to the size of the child and is put on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly re- strained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
(cid:1) Never install a rear–facing child re- straint system on the front seat. In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the airbag can cause severe if a rear–facing child restraint system is put on the front seat.
(cid:1) Unless it is unavoidable, do not put a forward–facing child restraint system on the front seat.
(cid:1) If you must install a forward–facing child restraint system on the front seat, move the seat as far back as possible.
(cid:1) Make sure that you have complied with all installation instructions provided by the child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured.
—Child restraint system A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be properly restrained on the seat with either the lap belt or the lap portion of the lap/ shoulder belt. You must carefully con- sult the manufacturer’s instructions which accompany your child restraint system. To provide proper restraint, use a child re- straint system following the manufactur- er’s instructions about the appropriate age and size of the child for the child re- straint system. Install the child restraint system correctly following the instructions provided by its manufacturer of the system. Toyota recommends installing the child restraint system on the rear seat. Accord- ing to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
CAUTION
(cid:1) Never install a rear–facing child re- straint system on the front seat. In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the airbag can cause death or serious injury if a rear–facing child restraint sys- tem is installed on the front seat. (cid:1) Unless it is unavoidable, do not install a forward–facing child re- straint system on the front seat.
(cid:1) If you must install a forward–fac- ing child restraint system on the front seat, move the seat as far back as possible.
(cid:1) After installing the child restraint system, make sure it is secured in place following the manufactur- er’s instructions. If it is not re- strained securely, it may cause in- jury to the child in the event of a sudden stop or accident.
When not using the child restraint system, keep it secured with the seat belt. This will prevent it injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop or accident. Your vehicle has anchors for securing the top strap of a child restraint system. The anchor nuts are welded beneath the sheet metal to permit installation of an anchor bracket for a child restraint system. To install an anchor bracket, use an 8 mm X 30 mm X 1.25 mm coarse thread metric bolt and 15mm (0.6 in.) spacer. Note that the bolts accompanying many child re- straint systems are not metric. You can damage the anchor nuts on our vehicle if you force bolts with different thread into the anchor nuts. For instructions about how to install the anchor bracket, see “Top strap anchors and locations.” If your child restraint system does not pro- vide any of the necessary parts, you can purchase the following items from your Toyota dealer. * CRS installation kit
(Part No. 04731–22012)—contains 1
bolt, 3 types of spacers and 1 locking clip.* Bolt (Part No. 91511–60830)

CAUTION
(cid:1) After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle are locked and that the lap and shoulder portions of the belt is not twisted.
(cid:1) Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in the buckle as this may prevent you from properly latching the tab and buckle.
(cid:1) If the seat belt does not function normally, it cannot protect your child from injury. Contact your To- yota dealer immediately. Do not use the seat until the seat belt is fixed.
2. Fully extend the shoulder belt to put it in the lock mode. When the belt is then retracted even slightly, it cannot be ex- tended.
To hold the infant seat securely, make sure the belt is in the lock mode before let- ting the before letting the belt to retract.
1. Run the lap and shoulder belt through or around the infant seat following the instructions provided by its manufac- turer and insert the tab into the buckle taking care not to twist the belt. Keep the lap portion of the belt tight.
42
3. While pressing the infant seat firmly against the seat cushion and seat- back, let the shoulder belt retract as far as it will go to hold the infant seat se- curely.
CAUTION
Make sure the seat belt is securely locked. Also make sure the child re- straint system is secure by pushing and pulling it in different directions. Follow all the installation instruc- tions provided by its manufacturer.
4. To remove the infant seat, press the buckle–release button and allow the belt to retract completely. The belt will move freely again and be ready to work for an adult or older child passen- ger.
43
(B)CONVERTIBLE SEAT INSTALLA-
TION
A convertible seats is used in forward– facing and rear–facing depending on the child’s age and size. When instal- ling, follow the manufacturer’s in- struction about the applicable child’s age and size.
CAUTION
(cid:1) Never use a rear–facing child re- straint system in the front seat be- cause the force of the rapid infla- tion of the passenger airbag can cause severe injury to the child. Ve- hicles with a passenger airbag dis- play a caution label on the passen- ger side instrument panel as shown above to remind you not to install a rear–facing child restraint system on the front seat.
44
(cid:1) Only when it is unavoidable should a forward–facing child restraint system be used on the front seat. Always move the seat as far back as possible because the force of de- ploying airbag would cause seri- ous injury to the child.
(cid:1) Do not use a rear–facing child re- straint system in the rear seat if it interferes with the lock mecha- nism of the front seats. This can cause severe injury to the child and front passenger in case of sudden braking or a collision.
1. Run the lap and shoulder belt through or around the convertible seat follow- ing the instructions provided by its manufacturer and insert the tab into the buckle taking care not to twist the belt. Keep the lap portion of the belt tight.

46
4. To remove the convertible seat, press the buckle–release button and allow the belt to retract completely. The belt will move freely again and be ready to work for an adult or older child passen- ger.
(C)BOOSTER SEAT INSTALLATION A booster seat is used in forward–fac- ing only.
CAUTION
Only when it is unavoidable should a forward–facing child restraint sys- tem be used on the front seat. Al- ways move the seat as far back as possible because the force of de- ploying airbag would cause serious injury to the child.
47
(cid:1) If the seat belt does not function normally, it cannot protect your child from injury. Contact your Toyota dealer immediately. Do not use the seat until the seat belt is fixed.
CAUTION
(cid:1) Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of child’s shoulder. The belt should be kept away from child’s neck, but not falling off child’s shoulder. Fail- ure to do so could reduce the amount of protection in an accident and increase the chance of injury. lap belts and loose–fitting belts both could in- crease the chance of injury due to sliding under the lap belt during an accident. Keep the lap belt as low on your hip bone as possible.
(cid:1) High–positioned
(cid:1) For the safety, do not place the
shoulder belt under child’s arm.
(cid:1) After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle are locked and that the lap and shoulder portions of the belt is not twisted.
(cid:1) Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in the buckle as this may prevent you from properly latching the tab and buckle.
