Keys
Your vehicle is supplied with two
kinds of key.
1. Master key—This key works in every
lock.
2. Subkey—This key will not work in the
glovebox.
To protect things locked in the glovebox
when you have your vehicle parked, leave
the subkey with the attendant.
Since the doors can be locked without a
key, you should always carry a spare
master key in case you accidentally lock
your keys inside the vehicle.
KEY NUMBER PLATE
Your key number is shown on the
plate. Keep the plate in a safe place
such as your wallet, not in the vehicle.
If you should lose your keys or 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.

CAUTION
!
Before driving, be sure that the
doors are closed and locked, especially 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 vehicle during an accident. It also
helps prevent the doors from being
opened unintentionally.
Power windows
The windows can be operated with the
switch on each door.
The power windows work when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. However, if both doors are closed, they work for
60 seconds even after the ignition switch
is turned off. They stop working when either front 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 push down the switch.
To close: Pull up the switch.

Always make sure the head, hands
and other parts of the body of all occupants are kept completely 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 operate the windows safely.
When small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the power
window switches without supervision. Use the window lock button
to prevent them from making unexpected use of the switches.
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 window. Unattended children can become involved in serious accidents.

a closing window, it could result in
a serious injury. When anyone
closes the power windows, be sure
that they operate the windows safely.
When small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the power
window switches without supervision. Use the window lock button
to prevent them from making unexpected use of the switches.
Never leave small children alone in
the vehicle, especially with the ignition key still inserted. They could
use the power window switches

soon as possible.
CAUTION
!
Make sure the cap is tightened se-
curely to prevent fuel spillage in
case of an accident.
Use only a genuine Toyota fuel
tank cap for replacement. It has a
built in check valve to reduce fuel
tank vacuum.
Electric moon roof
Sliding operation
Tilting operation
To operate the moon roof, use the
switches beside the interior light.
The moon roof works when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position. However, if
all the doors are closed, it works for 60
seconds even after the ignition switch is
turned off. It stops working when any of
the doors is opened.

You may stop the moon roof at any desired position. The roof will move while the
switch is being pushed and stop when released.
CAUTION
!
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following.
While the vehicle is moving, always
keep the head, hands and other
parts of the body of all occupants
away from the roof opening.
Otherwise, you could be seriously
injured if the vehicle stops suddenly or if the vehicle is involve in an
accident.
Always make sure nobody places
his/her head, hands and other parts
of the body in the roof opening before you close the roof. If someone’s neck, head or hands get
caught in the closing roof, it could
result in a se r i ous injury. When anyone closes the roof, first make sure
it is safe to do so.
Never leave small children alone in
the vehicle, especially with the
ignition key still inserted. They
could use the moon roof switches
and get trapped in the roof opening. Unattended children can become involved in serious accidents.
Never sit on top of the vehicle
around the roof opening.
18
Front
For your safety, adjust the restraint before driving.
To raise: Pull it up.
To lower: Push it down while pressing the
lock release button.
On some models, you can also move the
head restraint forward or backward. If
such adjustment is desired, pull or push
the head restraint.
The head restraint is most effective when
it is close to your head. Therefore, using
a cushion on the seatback is not recommended.
CAUTION
!
Adjust the top o f t h e head restraint
so that it is closest to the top of
your ears.
After adjusting the head restraint,
make sure it is locked in position.
Do not drive with the head re-
straints removed.
Seat belts—
—Seat belt precautionsHead restraints
Toyota strongly urges that the driver and
passengers in the vehicle be properly restrained at all times with the seat belts
provided. Failure to do so could increase
the chance of injury and/or the severity of
the injury in accidents.
Child. Use the child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child becomes 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 accident occurs and the seat belts are not
worn properly, the force of the rapid inflation 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 unrestrained 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.
Rear
24
If the shoulder belt falls across the child’s
neck or face, move the child to the center
position and use the center lap belt.
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 likely to suffer serious bodily injury in
the event of sudden braking or a collision.
When using the seat belts, observe
the following:
Use the belt for only one person at
a time. Do not use a single belt for
two or more people—even children.
Avoid reclining the seatbacks too
much. The seat belts provide maximum protection when the seatbacks are in the upright position.
(Refer to the seat adjustment instructions.)
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.
Inspect the belt system periodical-
ly. Check for cuts, fraying, and
loose parts. Damaged parts should
be replaced. Do not desassemble
or modify the system.
Keep the belts clean and dry. If they
need cleaning, use a mild soap
solution or lukewarm water. Never
use bleach, dye, or abrasive cleaners—they may severely weaken the
belts.
Replace the belt assembly
(including bolts) If it has been used
in a severe impact. The entire
assembly should be replaced even
if damage is not obvious.
25
—Front and rear outside seat
belts
Adjust the seat as needed (front seats
only) and sit up straight and well back
in the 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 your 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.
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 completely extended and is 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
securely . (F o r d e t a i l s , see “Child restraint”
in this chapter.) To free the belt again, fully
retract the belt and then pull the belt out
once more.
CAUTION
!
After inserting the tab, make sure
the tab and buckle are locked and
that the belt is not twisted.
Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in
the buckle as this may prevent you
from properly latching the tab and
buckle.
If the seat belt does not function
normally, immediately contact
your Toyota dealer. Do not use the
seat until the seat belt is fixed. It
cannot protect an adult occupant
or your child from injury.
Seat belts with an adjustable shoulder
anchor—
Adjust the shoulder anchor position
to your size.
To raise: Slide the anchor up.
To lower: Push in the lock release button
and slide the anchor down.
After adjustment make sure the anchor is
locked in position.
26
CAUTION
!
Always make sure the shoulder belt
is positioned across the center of
your shoulder. The belt should be
kept away from your neck, but not
falling off your shoulder. Failure to
do so could reduce the amount of
protection in an accident and cause
severe injures in a collision
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.
CAUTION
!
High-positioned lap belts and
loose-fitting belts both could increase the chance of injury due to
sliding under the lap belt during
collision. Keep the lap belt as low
on your hip bone as possible.
For your safety, do not place the
shoulder belt under your arm.
27
To release the belt, press the bucklerelease button and allow the belt to retract.
If the belt does not retract smoothly, pull
it out and check for kinks or twists. Then
make sure it remains untwisted as it retracts.
—Rear center seat belt
Sit up straight and well back in the
seat. To fasten your belt, insert the tab
into the buckle.
You will hear a click when the tab locks
into the buckle.
If the belt is not long enough for you, hold
the tab at a right angle to the belt and pull
on the tab.
CAUTION
!
After inserting the tab, make sure
the tab and buckle are locked and
that the belt is not twisted.
Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in
the buckle as this may prevent you
from properly latching the tab and
buckle.
If the seat belt does not function
normally, immediately contact
your Toyota dealer. Do not use the
seat until the seat belt is fixed. It
cannot protect an adult occupant
or your child from injury.
28
—Stowing rear seat belts
Remove excess length of the belt and
adjust the belt position.
To shorten the belt, pull the free end of the
belt.
Position the lap belt as low as possible on
your hips—not on your waist, thn adjust it
to a snug fit.
CAUTION
!
High-positioned and loose-fitting
lap belts could cause severe injuries
due to sliding under the lap belt
during a collision. Keep the lap belt
positioned as low on hips as
possible.
To release the belt, press the bucklerelease button.
The rear seat belts can be stowed
when not in use.
Seat belts must be stowed before you fold
the seat back. (See “Rear seats—Fold
down rear seat” in this chapter.)
29
—Seat belt extender
If your seat belt cannot be fastened securely because it is not long enough, a
personalized seat belt extender is available from your Toyota dealer free of
charge.
Please contact your local Toyota dealer
so that the dealer can order the proper required length for the extender. Bring the
heaviest coat you expect to wear for proper measurement and selection of length.
Additional ordering information is available at yout Toyota dealer.
CAUTION
!
When using the seat belt extender,
observe the following. Failure to follow these instructions could result
in less effectiveness of the seat belt
restraint system in case of vehicle
accident, increasing the chance of
personal injury.
Never use the seat belt extender if
you can fasten the seat belt without it.
Remember that the extender pro-
vided for you may not be safe when
used on a different vehicle, or for
another person or at a different
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 extender 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 seatbelt, press on the
buckle-release button on the extender,
not on the seat belt. This helps prevent
damage to the vehicle interior and extender itself.
When not in use, remove the extender
and store in the vehicle for future use.
CAUTION
!
After inserting the tab, make sure
the tab and buckle are locked and
that the seat belt extender is not
twisted.
Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in
the buckle as this may prevent you
from properly latching the tab and
buckle.
If the seat belt does not function
normally, immediately contact
your Toyota dealer. Do not use the
seat until the seat belt is fixed. It
cannot protect an adult occupant
or your child from injury.
30
SRS airbag
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) airbags are designed to provide
further protection to the driver and
front passenger when added to the primary protection provided by the seat
belts.
In response to a severe frontal impact, the
SRS airbags work together with the seat
belt to help preventing or reduce injury by
inflating, in order to decrease the likelihood of the driver’s or front passenger’s
head or chest directly hitting the steering
wheel or dashboard. The passenger airbag is activated even with no passenger
in the front seat.
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 airbag
is operating properly.
The SRS airbag warning light system
monitors the airbag sensor assembly, inflators, warning light, interconnecting wiring and power sources.
The SRS airbag system is designed to
activate in response to a severe frontal
impact within the shaded area between 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 approximate 20 km/h (14 mph) collision when impacting 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.
31
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 impact, or if i t i s involved in an underride collision (e.g. a collision in which the noise 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 vehicle’s two airbags will deploy.
For your safety of all occupants, be sure
to always wear seat belts.
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 SRS airbag system mainly consists
of the following components and their
locations are shown in the illustration.
1 SRS airbag warning light.
2 Steering wheel pad (airbag and inflat-
or)
3 Passenger airbag module (airbag and
inflator)
4 Airbag sensor assembly.
The airbag sensor assembly consists of a
safing sensor and airbag sensor.
32
In a severe frontal impact, sensor detects
deceleration and the system triggers the
airbag inflator. Then a chemical reaction
in the inflator momentarily fills the airbags
with non-toxic nitrogen gas to help restrain the forward motion of the occupants.
When the airbag inflates, they produce a
fairly loud noise and release some smoke
along with the nitrogen 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 happens in a
fraction of a second, so the airbags must
inflate with considerable force. While the
system is designed to reduce serious injuries, 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 themselves will not be hot. The airbags are designed to inflate only once.
A crash severe enough to inflate the airbags may break the windshield as the vehicle buckles. In vehicles with a passenger airbag the windshield may also be
damaged by absorbing some of the force
of the inflating airbag.
CAUTION
!
The SRS airbag system is de-
signed only as a supplement to
the primary protection of the driver side aseat belt systems. The
driver is particularly susceptible
to death or serious injury if they
does not wear their seat belt;
when sudden braking or a collision occurs, they may be thrown
forward into the deploying SRS
aribag. To obtain a maximum
protection in an accident, the driver and all passengers in the vehicle should always wear their
seat belts when driving because
serious injuries can result to unrestrained occupants. For instructions and precautions concerning
the seat belt system, see “Seat
belts” in this chapter.
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.
Never use rear-facing child re-
straint system in the front seat because the force of the rapid inflation of the passenger airbag can
cause severe injury to the child.
33
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 restratint system, see “Child
restraint” in this chapter.
34
Do not sit on the edge of the seat
or lean over the dashboard when
the vehicle is in use. The airbags
inflate 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.
Do not allow a child to stand up, or
to kneel on the front passenger
seat. The airbag inflates with considerable speed and force; the
child may be severely injured.
Do not hold a child on your lap or
in your arms. Use a child restraint
system in the rear seat. For instructions concerning the installation of a child restraint system, see
“Child restraint” in this chapter.
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 personal injury as they
are projected rearward.
Do not modify, remove or open
any component or wiring, such as
the steering wheel, column cover,
front passenger airbag, airbag
sensor assembly. Doing any of
these may cause sudden SRS airbag inflation or disable the system, which could result in personal injury.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in severe injuries.
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.
Installation of electronic items
such as a mobile two-way radio,
cassette tape player or compact
disc player
Modification of the suspension
system
Modification of the front end
structure
Attachment of a grille guard (bull
bar, kangaroo bar, etc.), snowplow winches or any other equipment to the front end
Repairs made on or near the front
end structure, console, steering
column, steering wheel or dashboard near the front passenger
airbag.
This SRS airbag system has a service reminder indi c a t o r t o i n f orm the driver of operating problems. If either of the following
conditions occurs, this indicates a malfunction of the airbags. Contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible to service
the vehicle.
The light does not come on when the
ignition key is turned to the “ACC” or
“ON” position, or remains on.
The light comes on while driving.
