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.

1-1. For safe use

For safety drive

For safe driving, adjust the seat and mirror to an appropriate

position before driving.

Correct driving posture

Adjust the angle of the seat-

1

back so that you are sitting

straight up and so that you do

not have to lean forward to

steer. (P. 178)

Adjust the seat so that you can

2

depress the pedals fully and so

that your arms bend slightly at

the elbow when gripping the

steering wheel. (P. 178, 186)

Lock the head restraint in place with the center of the head restraint

3

closest to the top of your ears. (P. 182)

Wear the seat belt correctly. (P. 38)

4

Correct use of the seat belts

Make sure that all occupants are wearing their seat belts before driv-

ing the vehicle. (P. 38)

Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child

becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.

(P. 61)

37

Adjusting the mirrors

Make sure that you can see the rear of the vehicle clearly by adjusting

the inside and outside rear view mirrors properly. (P. 188, 190)

WARNING

Observe the following precautions.

1

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.

Seat belts

Make sure that all occupants are wearing their seat belts before

driving the vehicle.

Correct use of the seat belts

● Extend the shoulder belt so that

it comes fully over the shoulder,

but does not come into contact

with the neck or slide off the

shoulder.

● Position the lap belt as low as

possible over the hips.

● Adjust the position of the seat-

back. Sit up straight and well

back in the seat.

● Do not twist the seat belt.

Fastening and releasing the seat belt

To fasten the seat belt, push the

1

plate into the buckle until a click

sound is heard.

2

To release the seat belt, press

the release button.

39

Adjusting the seat belt shoulder anchor height (front seats)

Push the seat belt shoulder

1

anchor down while pressing the

release button.

2

Push the seat belt shoulder

anchor up.

1

Move the height adjuster up and

down as needed until you hear a

click.

Seat belt pretensioners

 Vehicles without knee airbag

 Vehicles with knee airbag

The pretensioners help the seat belts to quickly restrain the occupants

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.

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.

1

● 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. 38)

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.

SRS airbags

The SRS airbags inflate when the vehicle is subjected to certain

types of severe impacts that may cause significant injury to the

occupants. They work together with the seat belts to help reduce

the risk of death or serious injury.

seats) (if equipped)

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.

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 air-

bag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits

upright.

1

●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. 61)

●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.

WARNING

■ SRS airbag precautions

●Do not allow anyone to kneel on the

passenger seat toward the door or put

their head or hands outside the vehicle.

● Vehicles without SRS driver’s knee air-

bag: Do not attach anything to or lean

anything against areas such as the

dashboard or steering wheel pad.

These items can become projectiles

when the SRS driver and front passen-

ger airbags deploy.

Vehicles with SRS driver’s knee airbag:

Do not attach anything to or lean any-

thing against areas such as the dash-

board, steering wheel pad, lower

portion of the instrument panel.

These items can become projectiles

when the SRS driver, front passenger

and driver’s knee airbag deploy.

●Do not attach anything to areas such as

a door, windshield, side door glass,

front or rear pillar, roof side rail and

assist grip. (Except for the speed limit

label P. 617)
