WARNING

Observe the following precau-

tions.

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 vehi-

cle. This could lead to an acci-

dent, 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) provided.

●

Do not use two or more floor 

mats on top of each other.

For safety and secu

rity

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.118)
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.25)

WARNING

■

Before driving

●

Check that the floor mat is 

securely fixed in the correct 

place with all the provided 

retaining hooks (clips). Be espe-

cially careful to perform this 

check after cleaning the floor.

●

With the engine stopped and 

the shift lever in P (continuously 

variable transmission) or N 

(manual transmission), fully 

depress each pedal to the floor 

to make sure it does not inter-

fere with the floor mat.

For safe driving

For safe driving, adjust the 
seat and mirror to an appro-
priate position before driv-
ing.

Correct driving posture

24

1-1. For safe use

Make sure that all occupants are 
wearing their seat belts before 
driving the vehicle. (P.25)
Use a child restraint system 
appropriate for the child until the 
child becomes large enough to 
properly wear the vehicle’s seat 
belt. (P.46)

Make sure that you can see 
backward clearly by adjusting 
the inside and outside rear view 
mirrors properly. (P.124, 125)

WARNING

■

For safe driving

Observe the following precau-

tions.

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 accident and the 

adjustment mechanism may 

also be damaged.

●

Always observe the legal speed 

limit when driving on public 

roads.

●

When driving over long dis-

tances, take regular breaks 

before you start to feel tired.

Also, if you feel tired or sleepy 

while driving, do not force your-

self to continue driving and take 

a break immediately.

●

Take care when adjusting the 

seat position to ensure that 

other passengers are not 

injured by the moving seat.

●

When adjusting the seat posi-

tion, do not put your hands 

under the seat or near the mov-

ing parts to avoid injury. Fingers 

or hands may become jammed 

in the seat mechanism.

Seat belts

Make sure that all occu-
pants are wearing their seat 
belts before driving the 
vehicle. 

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 prop-

erly.

●

Each seat belt should be used 

by one person only. Do not use 

a seat belt for more than one 

person at once, including chil-

dren.

●

Toyota recommends that chil-

dren 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.26)

Women who are pregnant should 

position the lap belt as low as 

possible over the hips in the same 

manner as other occupants, 

extending the shoulder belt com-

pletely over the shoulder and 

avoiding belt contact with the 

rounding of the abdominal area.
If the seat belt is not worn prop-

erly, 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.

by allowing the belt, plate, or 

buckle to be jammed in the 

door.

26

1-1. For safe use



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 
seatback. Sit up straight and 
well back in the seat.



Do not twist the seat belt.

■

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.46)

●

When the child becomes large 

enough to properly wear the vehi-

cle’s seat belt, follow the instruc-

tions regarding seat belt usage. 

(P.25)

■

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 Toy-

ota dealer free of charge.

WARNING

●

Inspect the seat belt system 

periodically. Check for cuts, 

fraying, and loose parts. Do not 

use a damaged seat belt until it 

is replaced. Damaged seat belts 

cannot protect an occupant 

from death or serious injury.

●

Ensure that the belt and plate 

are locked and the belt is not 

twisted.

If the seat belt does not function 

correctly, immediately contact 

your Toyota dealer.

●

Replace the seat assembly, 

including the belts, if your vehi-

cle has been involved in a seri-

ous accident, even if there is no 

obvious damage.

●

Do not attempt to install, 

remove, modify, disassemble or 

dispose of the seat belts. Have 

any necessary repairs carried 

out by your Toyota dealer. Inap-

propriate handling may lead to 

incorrect operation.

To fasten the seat belt, push 
the plate into the buckle until 
a click sound is heard. 

2

To release the seat belt, 
press the release button  .

■

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.46)

■

Rear seat belt

Use the seat belt after passing it 

through the guide if the seat belt 

comes free from the guide.

1

Push the seat belt shoulder 

WARNING

●

Do not use the seat belt 

extender when installing a child 

restraint system because the 

belt will not securely hold the 

child restraint system, increas-

ing the risk of death or serious 

injury in the event of an acci-

dent.

●

The personalized extender may 

not be safe on another vehicle, 

when used by another person, 

or at a different seating position 

other than the one originally 

intended.

NOTICE

■

When using a seat belt 

extender

When releasing the seat belt, 

press on the buckle release but-

ton on the extender, not on the 

seat belt.

This helps prevent damage to the 

vehicle interior and the extender 

itself.

Push the seat belt shoulder 
anchor up.

Move the height adjuster up and 
down as needed until you hear a 
click.

The pretensioners help the seat 
belts to quickly restrain the 
occupants by retracting the seat 
belts when the vehicle is sub-
jected to certain types of severe 
frontal or side collision or a vehi-
cle rollover.

The pretensioners do not activate 
in the event of a minor frontal 

impact, a minor side impact or a 
rear impact.

■

Replacing the belt after the pre-

tensioner has been activated

If the vehicle is involved in multiple 

collisions, the pretensioner will acti-

vate for the first collision, but will not 

activate for the second or subse-

quent collisions.

WARNING

■

Adjustable shoulder anchor

Always make sure the shoulder 

belt is positioned across the cen-

ter of your shoulder. The belt 

should be kept away from your 

neck, but not falling off your shoul-

der. Failure to do so could reduce 

the amount of protection in an 

accident and cause death or seri-

ous injuries in the event of a sud-

den stop, sudden swerve or 

accident.

Seat belt pretensioners 
(front seats)

WARNING

■

Seat belt pretensioners

●

Do not place anything, such as 

a cushion, on the front passen-

ger’s seat. Doing so will 

disperse the passenger’s 

weight, which prevents the sen-

sor from detecting the passen-

ger’s weight properly. As a 

result, the seat belt pretensioner 

for the front passenger’s seat 

may not activate in the event of 

a collision.

●

If the pretensioner has acti-

vated, the SRS warning light will 

come on. In that case, the seat 

belt cannot be used again and 

must be replaced at your Toyota 

dealer.

Airbag sensor assembly

Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed 
based on the US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The 
airbag sensor assembly (ECU) controls airbag deployment based on 
information obtained from the sensors etc. shown in the system 
components diagram above. This information includes crash sever-
ity and occupant information. 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 occupants.

■

If the SRS airbags deploy 

(inflate)

●

Slight abrasions, burns, bruising 

etc., may be sustained from SRS 

airbags, due to the extremely high 

speed deployment (inflation) by 

hot gases.

●

A loud noise and white powder will 

be emitted.

●

Parts of the airbag module (steer-

ing wheel hub, airbag cover and 

inflator) as well as the front seats, 

parts of the front and rear pillars, 

and roof side rails, may be hot for 

several minutes. The airbag itself 

may also be hot.

●

The windshield may crack.

●

The brakes and stop lights will be 

controlled automatically. (P.251)

●

The interior lights will turn on auto-

matically. (P.399)

●

The emergency flashers will be 

turned on automatically. (P.472)

●

Fuel supply to the engine will be 

stopped. (P.480)

●

For Safety Connect subscribers, if 

any of the following situations 

occur, the system is designed to 

send an emergency call to the 

response center, notifying them of 

the vehicle’s location (without 

needing to push the “SOS” button) 

and an agent will attempt to speak 

with the occupants to ascertain 

the level of emergency and assis-

tance required. If the occupants 

are unable to communicate, the 

agent automatically treats the call 

as an emergency and helps to dis-

patch the necessary emergency 

services. (P.61)

• An SRS airbag is deployed.

• A seat belt pretensioner is acti-

vated.

• The vehicle is involved in a severe 

rear-end collision.

■

SRS airbag deployment condi-

tions (SRS front airbags)

●

The SRS front airbags will deploy 

in the event of an impact that 

exceeds the set threshold level 

(the level of force corresponding 

to an approximately 12 - 18 mph 

[20 - 30 km/h] frontal collision with 

a fixed wall that does not move or 

deform).

However, this threshold velocity will 

be considerably higher in the follow-

ing situations:

• If the vehicle strikes an object, 

such as a parked vehicle or sign 

pole, which can move or deform 

on impact

• If the vehicle is involved in an 

underride collision, such as a colli-

sion in which the front of the vehi-

cle “underrides”, or goes under, 

the bed of a truck

●

Depending on the type of collision, 

it is possible that only the seat belt 

pretensioners will activate.

●

The SRS front airbags for the front 

passenger will not activate if there 

is no passenger sitting in the front 

passenger seat. However, the 

32

1-1. For safe use

SRS front airbags for the front 

passenger may deploy if luggage 

is put in the seat, even if the seat 

is unoccupied.

●

The SRS seat cushion airbag on 

the front passenger seat will not 

operate if the occupant is not 

wearing a seat belt.

■

SRS airbag deployment condi-

tions (SRS side and curtain 

shield airbags)

●

The SRS side and curtain shield 

airbags will deploy in the event of 

an impact that exceeds the set 

threshold level (the level of force 

corresponding to the impact force 

produced by an approximately 

3300 lb. [1500 kg] vehicle colliding 

with the vehicle cabin from a 

direction perpendicular to the 

vehicle orientation at an approxi-

mate speed of 12 - 18 mph [20 - 

30 km/h]).

●

Both SRS curtain shield airbags 

may deploy in the event of a 

severe side collision.

●

Both SRS curtain shield airbags 

will deploy in the event of vehicle 

rollover.

●

Both SRS curtain shield airbags 

may also deploy in the event of a 

severe frontal collision.

■

Conditions under which the 

SRS airbags may deploy 

(inflate), other than a collision 

The SRS front airbags and SRS 

side and curtain shield airbags may 

also deploy if a serious impact 

occurs to the underside of your vehi-

cle. Some examples are shown in 

the illustration.

●

Hitting a curb, edge of pavement 

or hard surface

●

Falling into or jumping over a deep 

hole

●

Landing hard or falling

The SRS curtain shield airbags may 

also deploy under the situations 

shown in the illustration.

●

The angle of vehicle tip-up is mar-

ginal.

●

The vehicle skids and hits a curb 

stone.

■

Types of collisions that may not 

deploy the SRS airbags (SRS 

front airbags)

The SRS front airbags do not gener-

ally inflate if the vehicle is involved 

in a side or rear collision, if it rolls 

over, or if it is involved in a 

low-speed frontal collision. But, 

whenever a collision of any type 

causes sufficient forward decelera-

tion of the vehicle, deployment of 

the SRS front airbags may occur.

Types of collisions that may not 

deploy the SRS airbags (SRS 

side and curtain shield airbags)

The SRS side and curtain shield air-

bags may not activate if the vehicle 

is subjected to a collision from the 

side at certain angles, or a collision 

to the side of the vehicle body other 

than the passenger compartment.

●

Collision from the side to the vehi-

cle body other than the passenger 

compartment

●

Collision from the side at an angle

The SRS side airbags do not gener-

in a frontal or rear collision, if it rolls 

over, or if it is involved in a 

low-speed side collision.

●

Collision from the front

●

Collision from the rear

●

Vehicle rollover

The SRS curtain shield airbags do 

not generally inflate if the vehicle is 

involved in a rear collision, if it

WARNING

■

SRS airbag precautions

Observe the following precautions 

regarding the SRS airbags.

Failure to do so may cause death 

or serious injury.

●

The driver and all passengers in 

the vehicle must wear their seat 

belts properly.

The SRS airbags are supple-

mental devices to be used with 

the seat belts.

●

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 the driver’s 

airbag is the first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75 

mm) of inflation, placing yourself 

10 in. (250 mm) from your driver 

airbag provides you with a margin 

of safety. This distance is mea-

sured from the center of the steer-

ing wheel to your breastbone. If 

you sit less than 10 in. (250 mm) 

away now, you can change your 

driving position in several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as 

far as you can while still reach-

ing the pedals comfortably.

• Slightly recline the back of the 

seat.

Although vehicle designs vary, 

many drivers can achieve the 

10 in. (250 mm) distance, even 

with the driver seat all the way 

forward, simply 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.

• If your steering wheel is adjust-

able, tilt it downward. This 

points the airbag toward your 

chest instead of your head and 

neck.

The seat should be adjusted as 

recommended by NHTSA above, 

while still maintaining control of 

the foot pedals, steering wheel, 

and your view of the instrument 

panel controls.

●

If the seat belt extender has 

been connected to the front 

seat belt buckles but the seat 

belt extender has not also been 

fastened to the latch plate of the 

seat belt, the SRS front airbags 

will judge that the driver and 

front passenger are wearing the 

seat belt even though the seat 

belt has not been connected. In 

this case, the SRS front airbags 

may not activate correctly in a 

collision, resulting in death or 

serious injury in the event of a 

collision. Be sure to wear the 

seat belt with the seat belt 

extender.

●

The SRS front passenger air-

bag also deploys with consider-

able 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 

airbag as possible with the seat-

back adjusted, so the front pas-

senger sits upright.

●

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 

system. Toyota strongly recom-

mends that all infants and chil-

dren 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.

●

Do not sit on the edge of the 

seat or lean against the dash-

board.

●

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 occu-

pants to hold items on their 

knees.

WARNING

●

Do not lean against the door, 

the roof side rail or the front, 

side and rear pillars.

●

Do not allow anyone to kneel on 

the passenger seat toward the 

door or put their head or hands 

outside the vehicle.

●

Do not attach anything to or 

lean anything against areas 

such as the dashboard, steering 

wheel pad and lower portion of 

the instrument panel.

These items can become pro-

jectiles when the SRS driver, 

front passenger and knee air-

bags deploy.

●

Do not attach anything to areas 

such as a door, windshield, side 

windows, front or rear pillar, roof 

side rail and assist grip. (Except 

for the speed limit label

P.494)

●

Vehicles without a smart key 

system: Do not attach any 

heavy, sharp or hard objects 

such as keys and accessories 

to the key. The objects may 

restrict the SRS knee airbag 

inflation or be thrust into the 

driver’s seat area by the force of 

the deploying airbag, thus caus-

ing a danger.

●

Do not hang hangers or other 

hard objects on the coat hooks. 

All of these items could become 

projectiles and may cause 

death or serious injury, should 

the SRS curtain shield airbags 

deploy.

●

If a vinyl cover is put on the area 

where the SRS driver’s knee 

airbag will deploy, be sure to 

remove it.

WARNING

●

Do not use seat accessories 

which cover the parts where the 

SRS side airbags and SRS seat 

cushion airbag inflate as they 

may interfere with inflation of 

the SRS airbags. Such acces-

sories may prevent the side air-

bags and seat cushion airbag 

from activating correctly, disable 

the system or cause the side 

airbags and seat cushion airbag 

to inflate accidentally, resulting 

in death or serious injury.

●

Do not strike or apply significant 

levels of force to the area of the 

SRS airbag components or the 

front doors.

Doing so can cause the SRS 

airbags to malfunction.

●

Do not touch any of the compo-

nent parts immediately after the 

SRS airbags have deployed 

(inflated) as they may be hot.

●

If breathing becomes difficult 

after the SRS airbags have 

deployed, open a door or win-

dow to allow fresh air in, or 

leave the vehicle if it is safe to 

do so. Wash off any residue as 

soon as possible to prevent skin 

irritation. 

●

If the areas where the SRS air-

bags are stored, such as the 

steering wheel pad and front 

and rear pillar garnishes, are 

damaged or cracked, have 

them replaced by your Toyota 

dealer.

●

Do not place anything, such as 

a cushion, on the front passen-

ger’s seat. Doing so will 

disperse the passenger’s 

weight, which prevents the sen-

sor from detecting the passen-

ger’s weight properly. As a 

result, the SRS front airbags for 

the front passenger may not 

deploy in the event of a colli-

sion.

SRS airbag system compo-

nents

Do not dispose of your vehicle or 

perform any of the following modi-

fications without consulting your 

Toyota dealer. The SRS airbags 

may malfunction or deploy 

(inflate) accidentally, causing 

death or serious injury.
