Keys				Side doors

Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds of keys.

1.Master key This key works in every lock.

2.Sub key This key will not work in the trunk.

To protect things locked in the trunk when you have your vehicle parked, leave the sub key with the attendant.

Since the doors and trunk lid 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.

We recommend you to write down the key number and keep it in safe place.

LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WITH KEY

Insert the key into the keyhole and turn it.

To lock: Turn the key forward.

To unlock: Turn the key backward.

Vehicles with power door lock system All the doors lock and unlock simultaneously with either front door. In the driver’s door lock, turning the key once will unlock the driver’s door and twice in succession will unlock all the doors simultaneously.

’01 Corolla U (L/O 0005)

Seats

While the vehicle is being driven, all vehicle occupants should have the seatback upright, sit well back in the seat and properly wear the seat belts provided.

CAUTION

D Do not drive the vehicle unless the occupants are properly seated. Do not allow sitting on top of a folded−down seatback, or in the luggage compartment. Persons not properly seated and/or properly restrained by seat belts can be severely injured in the event of emergency braking or a collision.

D During driving, do not allow passengers to stand up or move around between seats. Severe injuries can occur in the event of emergency braking or a collision.

Front seats

Front seat precautions (with SRS side airbags)

CAUTION

The SRS side airbags are installed in the driver and front passenger seats. Observe the following precautions.

D Do not lean against the front door when the vehicle is in use. The side airbag inflates with considerable speed and force; you may be killed or seriously injured.

D Do not modify or replace the seats or surface of the front seats with the side airbags. Such changes may disable the system or cause the side airbags to inflate, resulting in


death		or	serious	injury.	Consult
your		Toyota dealer.
D Do	not		use accessories		for the
seats which cover the parts where
the	side		airbags	should	inflate.
Such accessories may prevent the
side airbags from activating correct-
ly,	causing death or			serious injury.

Seat adjustment precautions

Adjust the driver’s seat so that the foot pedals, steering wheel and instrument panel controls are within easy reach of the driver.

CAUTION

D Adjustments should not be made while the vehicle is moving, as the seat may unexpectedly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

D When adjusting the seat, be careful not to hit the seat against a passenger or luggage.

D After adjusting the seat position, try sliding it forward and backward to make sure it is locked in position.

D After adjusting the seatback, exert body pressure to make sure it is locked in position.

D Do not put objects under the seats. The objects may interfere with the seat−lock mechanism or unexpectedly push up the seat position adjusting lever; the seat may suddenly move, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

22	2001MY_COROLLA_U (OM12720U)

’01 Corolla U (L/O 0005)

Adjusting front seats

D While adjusting the seat, do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts. You may catch and injure your hands or fingers.

1. SEAT POSITION ADJUSTING LEVER

Pull the lever up. Then slide the seat to the desired position with slight body pressure and release the lever.

2.SEATBACK ANGLE ADJUSTING LEVER

Lean forward and pull the lever up. Then lean back to the desired angle and release the lever.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, avoid reclining the seatback any more than needed. The seat belts provide maximum protection in a frontal or rear collision when the driver and the passenger are sitting up straight and well back in the seats. If you are reclined, the lap belt may slide past your hips and apply restraint forces directly to the abdomen. Therefore, in the event of a frontal collision, the risk of personal injury may increase with increasing recline of the seatback.

2001MY_COROLLA_U (OM12720U)

’01 Corolla U (L/O 0005)

Fold−down rear seat

(A) FOLDING DOWN REAR SEAT

1.To unlock the seatback, pull the lever in the trunk.

2. Fold down the seatback.

Each seatback may be folded separately. On vehicles with built−in child restraint system, only the left seatback can be folded down.

This will enlarge the trunk as far as the seatbacks. See Luggage stowage precautions" in Section 2 for precautions in loading luggage.

NOTICE

Make sure the luggage loaded in the enlarged trunk will not damage the webbing of the rear center seat belt when the left seatback is folded down.

CAUTION

When returning the seatback to the upright position:

D Make sure the seat belts are not twisted or caught in the seatback and are arranged in the proper position and are ready to use.

D Make sure the seatback is securely locked by pushing forward and rearward on the top of the seatback. Failure to do so will prevent seat belt from operating properly.

24	2001MY_COROLLA_U (OM12720U)

’01 Corolla U (L/O 0005)

CAUTION

Disconnect the rear center seat belt only under the above mentioned circumstances; do not disconnect it in other circumstances.

(B)PREVENTING DAMAGE TO REAR CENTER SEAT BELT WEBBING

When folding down the left seatback, if the luggage loaded in the enlarged trunk will damage the webbing of the rear center seat belt, disconnect the rear center seat belt to prevent damage.

Insert the key into the hole (light gray) on the buckle to release tab 1 (light gray), and allow the belt to retract.

Make sure the shoulder belt pass through the guide when returning the seatback up.

2001MY_COROLLA_U (OM12720U)

’01 Corolla U (L/O 0005)

Before returning the seatback to the upright position, make sure to correctly connect the center seat belt for ready use.

Insert tab 1 (light gray) into the buckle with light gray buckle−release button.

You will hear a click when the tab locks into the buckle.

CAUTION

D Be careful not to mix up the proper match of tab and buckle. Do not insert tab 1 (light gray) into other buckle than the one with light gray buckle release button. (See Seat belts" in this section for proper matching of the buckles and tabs.)

D After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle are locked.

D Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in the buckle as this may prevent you from properly latching the tab and buckle.

D Make sure the belt is not twisted or caught in the seatback and that it is arranged in the proper position for ready use.

D If the seat belt does not function normally, immediately contact your Toyota dealer.
