1-1. For safe use

Before driving

Floor mat

Use only floor mats designed specifically for vehicles of the same

model and model year as your vehicle. Fix them securely in place

onto the carpet.

Insert the retaining hooks (clips)

into the floor mat eyelets.

Turn the upper knob of each

retaining hook (clip) to secure

the floor mats in place.

*: Always align the

marks.

The shape of the retaining hooks (clips) may differ from that shown in the

illustration.

1-1. For safe use

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 engine stopped and the shift

lever in P, fully depress each pedal to

the floor to make sure it does not inter-

fere with the floor mat.

1-1. For safe use

For safe driving

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

position before driving.

Correct driving posture

Adjust the angle of the seat-

back so that you are sitting

straight up and so that you do

not have to lean forward to

steer. (→P. 139)

Adjust the seat so that you can

depress the pedals fully and so

that your arms bend slightly at

the elbow when gripping the

steering wheel. (→P. 139)

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

closest to the top of your ears. (→P. 146)

Wear the seat belt correctly. (→P. 28)

Correct use of the seat belts

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

ing the vehicle. (→P. 28)

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

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

(→P. 57)

RAV4_OM_OM0R012U_(U)

1-1. For safe use

Adjusting the mirrors

Make sure that you can see backward clearly by adjusting the inside

and outside rear view mirrors properly. (→P. 151, 153)

WARNING

Observe the following precautions.

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.

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.

anchor down while pressing the

release button.

Push the seat belt shoulder

anchor up.

Move the height adjuster up and

down as needed until you hear a

Seat belt pretensioners (front seats)

The pretensioners help the seat

belts to quickly restrain the occu-

pants by retracting the seat belts

when the vehicle is subjected to

certain types of severe frontal or

side collision or a vehicle rollover.

The pretensioners do not activate

in the event of a minor frontal

impact, a minor side impact or a

rear impact.

RAV4_OM_OM0R012U_(U)

1-1. For safe use

■ Emergency locking retractor (ELR)

The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also

lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to

extend so that you can move around fully.

■ Automatic locking retractor (ALR)

When a passenger’s shoulder belt is completely extended and then retracted

even slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be extended. This

feature is used to hold the child restraint system (CRS) firmly. To free the belt

again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once more. (→P. 61)

■ Child seat belt usage

The seat belts of your vehicle were principally designed for persons of adult

size.

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

becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt. (→P. 57)

● When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat

belt, follow the instructions regarding seat belt usage. (→P. 28)

■ Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated

If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate for

the first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent collisions.

■ Seat belt extender

If your seat belts cannot be fastened

securely because they are not long

enough, a personalized seat belt extender

is available from your Toyota dealer free

of charge.

1-1. For safe use

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.

● 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 one time, 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. 28)

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.

■ People suffering illness

Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way. (→P. 28)
