Toyota hybrid system

Toyota hybrid system combines a gasoline engine and electric motor power to improve the fuel economy and minimize the emissions as well as to provide better power performance than the ordinary gasoline−powered vehicles.

Depending on the driving condition, the vehicle runs on the best combination of;

D Gasoline engine power D Electric motor power generated by

the gasoline engine

D Electric motor power of the hybrid

vehicle battery

Furthermore, the energy is efficiently used in the following ways:

D When stopping the vehicle, the gaso-

line engine is automatically stopped.

D When applying the brakes or decelerat-

ing, electricity is converted from the turning force of the wheels and stored in the hybrid vehicle battery. (This is called regenerative brake.)

Since the battery is charged by the gasoline engine as needed, it does not require charging from an outside source like an electric vehicle.

If you do not use the vehicle for a long time (2 weeks or more), the hy-

brid vehicle battery and auxiliary battery will discharge and their condition is liable to decline. Therefore, in order to make up for discharging, charge them once in every 2 weeks for about 30 minutes by starting the hybrid system with all electrical components turned off.

Toyota hybrid system operating condition

Basic operations are described below. Besides, Toyota hybrid system performs various controls depending on the operating condition: The “Energy Monitor” screen tells you which power is used currently.

12p016c

12p017c

12p018c

Electric power in use

When starting or backing up, etc., the vehicle runs on electric power from hybrid vehicle battery, because the gasoline engine efficiency is low.

Gasoline power in use

During normal driving, the vehicle runs mainly on gasoline power. However, the electric motor, using electric power generated by the gasoline engine, can supplement the gasoline engine power.

The vehicle controls the optimum ratio of the gasoline and electric power to help use energy more efficiently.

Electric and gasoline power in use

When driving at full throttle, additional electric power is applied from the hybrid vehicle battery. Vehicle performance improves.

12p019c

12p020c

12p030b

Storing electric power

When decreasing speed or applying the brakes, the turning force of the wheels

makes the electric motor operate as a generator and additional electricity is stored in the hybrid vehicle battery (regenerative brake).

Not in use

When stopping, the gasoline engine automatically shuts off.

Charging hybrid vehicle battery

When the hybrid vehicle battery power is insufficient, the gasoline engine charges the hybrid vehicle battery. The system always supplies electricity at a constant level.

Starting your vehicle

Your vehicle is equipped with push button start system. The hybrid system will start automatically by pressing the “POWER” switch briefly with the brake pedal depressed.

With smart function

1. Carry the key with you.

2. Press the “POWER” switch briefly with the brake pedal depressed.

Without smart function

1. Insert the key.

2. Press the “POWER” switch briefly with the brake pedal depressed.

The “READY” light flashes and stays on. Two beeps sound after a few seconds, and the hybrid system will start. (If the ambient temperature is low such as during winter, it may take time until the “READY” light comes on.) You cannot start your vehicle when the brake pedal is not depressed. (For details, see “How to start the hybrid system—” on page 234.)

The engine may not start even with the “READY” light on.

For efficient use of your vehicle

Drive your vehicle with a smooth acceleration and deceleration.

D While driving, energy is recovered

through the regenerative brake as the vehicle decelerates. However, for more efficient use, do not accelerate or decelerate your vehicle more than necessary.

D Avoid abrupt acceleration and decelera-

tion.

D The remaining capacity of the hybrid

vehicle battery can be confirmed on the energy monitor screen of the multi− information display. See “Information” on page 150 for details. Gradual or non−abrupt acceleration or deceleration will more effectively use the benefits of an electric motor without having to use gasoline engine power.

When parking, be sure to put the hybrid transaxle in “P”. While driving, use the hybrid transaxle in “D”.

D In “N”, the gasoline engine operates

but electricity cannot be generated. The battery will be discharged requiring unnecessary engine power to recharge.

D The hybrid system automatically re-

charges the hybrid vehicle battery when the remaining battery power is reduced. However, the charging is not available if the hybrid transaxle is “N”.

INFORMATION: The gasoline engine starts and stops

automatically. (It stops during a low load driving, deceleration or when the vehicle is stopped.)

If the “READY” light remains on, you can start your vehicle using the electric motor even with the gasoline engine stopped.

The gasoline engine may not stop automatically in the following conditions:

z During gasoline engine warm−up z During hybrid vehicle battery charg-

ing

z During low or high hybrid vehicle

battery temperature

Precautions for use

The vehicle runs in combination with the gasoline and electric power. Pay special attention to the following items.

Be careful of high voltage and high temperat ure.

Your vehicle is equipped with the orange colored cables connected to the hybrid vehicle battery (about 200 V) and to other components that are all high voltage.

CAUTION

Do not touch or come in contact with orange cables or battery terminals. Electric shock may cause serious injury or death. Read all caution labels.

An electric motor, coolant radiator and some other parts reach high temperature while driving. Caution labels are applied to these parts. Carefully observe the instructions on these caution labels.

Hybrid vehicle battery

Service plug

High voltage cables

Do not touch the service plug.

The service plug is installed in the left side trim of the luggage compartment. It is provided to disable high voltage current from the hybrid vehicle battery when the vehicle is in need of repairs at your Toyota dealer.

12p007d

Air conditioning compressor

High voltage cables

Inverter unit

CAUTION

Never remove or disassemble any high voltage part, high voltage cables (orange color) and their connectors. It may cause death or serious injury.

D The shaded parts in the illustration

are subjected to high voltage.

D Inappropriate handling may cause

an electric shock resulting in serious injury or death. Never touch any item in shaded area.

These high voltage parts or cables consisting of an electromagnetic shielding structure produce relatively the same amount of electromagnetic waves as conventional gasoline− fueled vehicles or home electric appliances.

As unwanted noise may occur in the reception of mobile radios, contact your Toyota dealer for installation or removal.

Always keep your hybrid vehicle’s driving characteristics in mind.

CAUTION

The driver should pay full attention around the vehicle especially when it is driven only by the electric motor (with the gasoline engine stopped). People in the immediate area might misjudge the hybrid vehicle movement based on the absence of the regular engine noise.

D As the vehicle runs with both the gaso-

line engine and electric motor, you may hear a motor sound coming from the engine compartment.

D When the hybrid system is started or

stopped, you may hear a sound coming from the hybrid vehicle battery in the luggage compartment. However, this does not indicate any trouble.

D If the “READY” light is on, you can

start even though the gasoline engine may be off.

D When you shift the shift lever to “B”

and release it to its original position and your foot from the accelerator pedal, engine braking will be applied. However, during high speed driving you may feel that deceleration by engine braking is less than that of ordinary vehicle.

Be sure to put the hybrid transaxle in “P” when parking.

In “N”, the hybrid vehicle battery assembly is not charged, even if the gasoline engine is operating. You cannot run your vehicle if the hybrid transaxle is left in “N” for a long time because the hybrid vehicle battery assembly will be discharged.

When you leave your vehicle, apply the parking brake to put the hybrid transaxle in “P” and be sure to carry the key with you and lock all the doors.

If you leave the hybrid system in “ACC” or “IG−ON”, the hybrid system may not start because the auxiliary battery will be discharged.

CAUTION

D When you leave your vehicle, be

sure to shut off the hybrid system.

D Be sure to put the hybrid transaxle

in “P” because the vehicle can start with the “READY” light on and the engine stopped (no engine sound and vibration). When the “READY” light is on, if you leave your vehicle in shift position other than “P” and “N”, the vehicle will creep and start abruptly with the accelerator pedal being depressed by mistake. This may cause death or serious injury.

12p008d

When the multi−information display shows this message, the master warn-

ing light ment cluster. Read the message and follow the instruction.

D When you leave your vehicle, or stop

D Charging is necessary. In “N”, charging

or park for a while, put the hybrid transaxle in “P”.

will not be applied. The electric generator operates in “P”, “D” or “B”. If you continue driving, put the hybrid transaxle in “D” or “B” and depress the accelerator pedal. Do not leave the hybrid transaxle in “N”. When driving in traffic jam, operate in “D”.

12P009c

Do not allow anyone to lean against the side of the rear right seatback, nor put any luggage or other obstructions on it.

D An air vent is provided on the side of

the rear right seatback to cool the hybrid vehicle battery. If this vent is covered, the hybrid vehicle battery will overheat resulting in a reduction of the output performance of the hybrid system.

D The seat belt not properly set in the

guide on the top of the rear seat may block the air vent. Be sure to pass the seat belt through the guide properly.

D Do not wet or put foreign objects over

the air vent. Otherwise, the hybrid vehicle battery may be adversely affected and be damaged.

D You may hear a cooling fan noise from

the air vent.

For vehicle repairs or maintenance, be sure to consult your Toyota dealer.

If your vehicle is beyond repair because of accident or something, be sure to consult your Toyota dealer.

As sealed Nickel−Metal hydride batteries are used, be sure to consult your Toyota dealer when disposing of your vehicle.

CAUTION

If you are involved in an accident, follow these precautions.

D Move the vehicle to a safe place

and perform the followings to reduce the risk of high voltage electricity leakage.

D Depress the brake pedal and apply

the parking brake.

D Press the “P” position switch and

stop the hybrid system.

D If the key is inserted into key slot,

remove it.

D If your vehicle has experienced ma-

jor damage, you may get an electric shock. To prevent this, never touch the high voltage parts (hybrid vehicle battery assembly, etc.) or cables (orange color) connecting these parts. If some exposed electric wires are protruding inside or outside of the vehicle, an electric shock may also occur. Never touch them.

D If the fluid leaks or gets in some

part of the vehicle, never touch it because it may be electrolyte (strong alkali) from the hybrid vehicle battery. If it gets on your skin or eyes, wash off immediately with a large amount of water, if possible, with boric acid solution, and get immediate medical attention in order to help avoid serious injury.

D If a vehicle fire occurs, extinguish

it using a fire extinguisher for the exclusive use on electric fires. As a small amount of water may be dangerous, use a large amount of water, for example from a fire hydrant, or wait for a fire−fighting team arrival.

D If your vehicle needs to be towed,

do it with the front wheels or all four wheels raised. If the front wheels are on the ground when towing, the electric motor may continue to generate electricity which could leak electricity. A fire could occur depending on the degree of damage. See “If your vehicle needs to be towed” on page 258.

UNLOCKING THE DOOR(S) WITH SMART FUNCTION

The smart entry and start system can be used to unlock the door(s) without being inserted into the door keyhole.

When you get close to your vehicle (about 1 m (3 ft.) from each outside front door handle), and are carrying the smart key, the electronic code emitted from the key is automatically checked to determine if it corresponds to the registered ID code for the vehicle. When you take hold of the side back of the outside door handle surface, it will unlock. At this time, two beeps sound and the turn signal lights flash twice.

When you push and hold down the back door opener switch, carrying the smart key, the ID code is checked in the same way as in the front door case. And all the doors will unlock. At this time, two beeps sound and the turn signal lights flash twice.

When you get close to your vehicle (about 1 m or 3 ft. from either front door), carrying the smart key or unlock the back door using smart key function, the interior light comes on for 15 seconds if the interior light switch is in the “DOOR” position. However, the interior lights go out when you push the power door lock switch in the lock position or press the “POWER” switch once or twice from the off setting to select the “ACC” or “IG−ON” mode without depressing the brake pedal. For further information, see “Interior lights” on page 107.

You have 30 seconds to open a door after operating the smart unlocking function. If a door is not opened by then, all the doors will be automatically locked again.

INFORMATION

D The rear doors are not equipped

with smart function.

D When unlocking the door(s), be sure

to take hold of the back side of the outside door handle firmly as shown in the illustration. Taking hold of the handle with a gloved hand might cause a delay in unlocking.

D When you take hold of the handle

or push the back door opener to unlock the door(s), be sure to confirm that the door(s) have been unlocked. If the two beeps and the turn signal lights flash twice, the doors are unlocked. At this time, you can pull the outside door handle or push the back door opener to open the door. If you quickly move closer to the vehicle or pull the outside door handle or push the back door opener quickly, the doors might not unlock. If you cannot open the door by pulling the outside door handle or pushing the back door at this time, push back the outside door handle to the original position or release your hand from the back door and then try again.

D If you bring the smart key very

close to the outside door handle or the back door opener, the doors might not lock.

D If another person who is not carry-

ing a smart key takes hold of an outside door handle or push the back door opener when you are within the effective range of the smart function, the door(s) may not unlock.

D If a large amount of water is ap-

plied to the outside door handle or the back door during heavy rain or a car wash, and someone carrying a smart key is near the vehicle, the door(s) might be unlocked. However, if the outside front door handle is not pulled out or back door opener not pushed, the doors will lock automatically after about 30 seconds.

D To ensure the unlocking door(s),

perform unlocking operation within 3 seconds after getting close to the vehicle (about 1 m or 3 ft. from the front doors or back door). If it takes longer than that, unlocking function may not be enabled.

CHANGING THE DOORS TO BE UNLOCKED

Each time you push the lock button together with the panic button on the smart key for about 5 seconds with the hybrid system off, the setting for door unlocking will change as follows:

1. Driver’s door unlocking mode: If you

perform smart unlocking operation on the driver’s door, it will unlock. Performing unlocking operation on the front passenger’s door or back door will unlock all the doors. When the system switches to this mode, one beep sounds inside the vehicle and two beeps sound three times.

2. All doors unlocking mode: Performing

smart unlocking operation on either front door or back door will unlock all the doors. When the system switches to this mode, one beep sounds inside the vehicle and two beeps sound twice.

3. Single door unlocking mode: The

driver ’s door or back door on which you perform smart unlocking operation will unlock. However, performing unlocking operation on the front passenger’s door will unlock all the doors. When the system switches to this mode, one beep sounds inside the vehicle and two beeps sound once.

INFORMATION

z When changing the mode, be sure

to push both lock and panic buttons firmly, or panic alarm may be activated.

z This operation will not change the

wireless remote control unlocking function.

z In the single or driver’s door un-

locking mode, if you get into the vehicle from the driver’s door carrying the smart key, all the smart unlocking controls activated by the smart key will be stopped for security. If you get out of the vehicle from the driver’s door carrying the smart key and get out of the effective range of the smart function, unlocking control by the smart key will be possible. However, unlocking control may not be carried out for 5 seconds after you get out from the vehicle. In this case, operate unlock control again after 5 seconds.

BATTERY POWER SAVING

When doors are locked, the smart entry and start system transmits electromagnetic waves to the outside of the vehicle at regular intervals. For this reason, the vehicle battery will be discharged if the vehicle is left for a long time. If the key is left within the effective range of the smart function outside of the vehicle, the key and the vehicle transmit electromagnetic waves periodically. If these conditions continue for a long time, the battery in the key and vehicle will be discharged.

To prevent the batteries from being discharged, the smart function is automatically deactivated in the following conditions:

D If there is no response from the key

for more than 14 days

D If the key is left within the effective

range of the smart function outside of the vehicle for more than 10 minutes

To reactivate the smart function, perform any of the following:

(a) Press the lock button on the outside

front door handle or back door while carrying the smart key.

(b) Perform a wireless remote control op-

eration.

the keyhole of the driver’s door.

INFORMATION

D To maintain communication with the

vehicle, smart keys use built−in battery power. The battery service life is about 1 to 3 years on average. If battery power becomes insufficient, replace the battery with a new one.

D The smart key continually receives

electromagnetic waves, and if it receives strong electromagnetic waves over a period of time, the battery can be drastically run down. Therefore, avoid storing smart keys near any electrical appliances.

Here is a list of electrical appliances which may have adverse effects on the smart key performance: TVs, personal computers, cellular phone or cordless phone recharger units, electric light stands and fluorescent desk lights

Note that you should always keep such electrical appliances at least 1 m (3 ft.) away from the smart key.

Driver seat

CAUTION

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 driver airbag is the first 50−75 mm (2−3 in.) of inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10 in.) from your diver airbag provides you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured from the center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than 250 mm (10 in.) away now, you can change your driving position in several ways:

D Move your seat to the rear as far

as you can while still reaching the pedals comfortably.

D Slightly recline the back of the

seat. Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 250 mm (10 in.) 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.

D If your steering wheel is adjustable,

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.

Front passenger seat

CAUTION

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 airbag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits upright.

Front seats (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, since the side airbag inflates with considerable speed and force. Otherwise, you may be killed or seriously injured.

D Do not use seat accessories which

cover the area where the side airbags inflate. Such accessories may prevent the side airbags from activating correctly, causing death or serious injury.

D Do not modify or replace the seats

or upholstery of the seats equipped with side airbags. Such change may prevent the side airbag system from activating correctly, disable the system or cause the side airbags to inflate accidentally, resulting in death or serious injury.

—Seat adjustment precau tio ns

CAUTION

D Do not adjust the seat while the

vehicle is moving as the seat may unexpectedly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

D Be careful that the seat does not

hit a passenger or luggage.

D After adjusting the seat position, re-

lease the lever and try sliding the seat forward and backward to make sure it is locked in position.

D After adjusting the seatback, push

your body back against the seat to make sure the seat is locked in position.

D Do not put objects under the seats.

Otherwise, the objects may interfere with the seat−lock mechanism or unexpectedly push up the seat position adjusting lever and the seat may suddenly move, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

D While adjusting the seat, do not put

your hands under the seat or near the moving parts. Otherwise, your hands or fingers may be caught and injured.

—Adjusting front seats

1. SEAT POSITION ADJUSTING LEVER

Hold the center of the lever and pull it 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

22p001d

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 front 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 or your neck may contact the shoulder belt. In the event of a frontal collision, the more the seat is reclined, the greater the risk of death or personal injury.

—Flattening seatbacks

22p226

22p227

CAUTION

D Do not allow passengers to ride on

the flattened seat while driving; use the seat in the normal position.

D After putting back the seat, try

pushing the seat and seatback forward and rearward to make sure it is secured in place. Be certain to replace head restraint.

1. Remove the head restraint. Hold the center of the lever and pull it up. Then slide the seat further forward than the front−most lock position.

2. Pull the seatback angle adjusting lever to unlock and push down the seatback.

When returning the seatback upright, be careful not to make yourself hit by the seatback which will bound with considerable spring force.

After returning the seat to its original position, be certain to replace the head restraint.

Fold−down rear seat

CAUTION

When only rear left seat is folded down, rear seat alone can be used. Never sit on the center seat because the rear center seat belt cannot be fastened correctly when the rear left seat is folded down.

22p203

Lower the head restraints to the lowest position. Push down the lock release button and fold the seatback down.

Each seatback can be folded separately.

This will enlarge the luggage compartment as far as the seatbacks. See “Cargo and luggage” on page 228 for precautions when loading luggage.

BEFORE RETURNING REAR SEAT Make sure the shoulder belt pass

through the guide when returning the seatback up.

If the shoulder belt on the rear right seat is off the guide, the air vent for cooling the hybrid vehicle battery may be blocked by the belt. If the hybrid vehicle battery cannot be cooled, the output performance is limited, reducing the driving performance.

CAUTION

When returning the seatback to the upright position, observe the following precautions in order to prevent personal injury in a collision or sudden stop:

D Make sure seatback is securely

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

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.

Head restraints

22p002b

Front

22p101b

For your safety and comfort, adjust the head restraint before driving,

To raise: Pull it up. To lower: Push it down while pressing the lock release button.

Rear center head restraint—When an occupant sits on the rear center seat, always pull up the rear center head restraint to the lock position.

The head restraint is most effective when it is close to your head. Therefore, using a cushion on the seatback is not recommended.

CAUTION

D Adjust the center of the head re-

straint so that it is closest to the top of your ears.

D After adjusting the head restraint,

make sure it is locked in position.

D Do not drive with the head re-

straints removed.

Rear

Seat belts— —Seat belt precautions

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 injury in accidents.

The seat belts provided for your vehicle are designed for people of adult size, large enough to properly wear them.

Child. Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belts. For details, see “Child restraint” on page 79.

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 death or serious injury to the child.

Do not allow any children to stand up or kneel on either rear or front seats. An unrestrained child could suffer serious injury or death during emergency braking or a collision. Also, do not let the child sit on your lap. Holding a child in your arms does not provide sufficient restraint.

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 or death in the event of sudden braking or a collision.

When using the seat belts, observe the following:

D Use the belt for only one person at

a time. Do not use a single belt for two or more people—even children.

D 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 front 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 or your neck may contact the shoulder belt. In the event of a frontal collision, the more the seat is reclined, the greater the risk of death or personal injury.

D 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.

D Inspect the belt system periodically.

Check for cuts, fraying, and loose parts. Damaged parts should be replaced. Do not disassemble or modify the system.

D 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, or allow them to come into contact with the belt—they may severely weaken the belts. (See “Cleaning the interior” on page

267.)

D Replace the belt assembly (includ-

ing bolts) if it has been used in a severe impact. The entire assembly should be replaced even if damage is not obvious.

—Fastening front and rear seat belts

22p007

Ta b

Buckle

Adjust the seat as needed 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.

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. (For details, see “Child restraint” on page 79.) To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once more.

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.

CAUTION

D After inserting the tab, make sure

the tab and buckle are locked and that the belt is not twisted.

D Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in

the buckle as this may prevent you from properly latching the tab and buckle.

D If the seat belt does not function

normally, immediately contact your Toyota dealer. Do not use the seat until the seat belt is fixed, because it cannot protect an adult occupant or your child from injury.

22p006a

Keep as low on hips as possible

Take up slack

Too high

CAUTION

D Both high−positioned lap belts and

loose−fitting belts could cause serious injuries due to sliding under the lap belt during a collision or other unintended event. Keep the lap belt positioned as low on hips as possible.

D Do not place the shoulder belt un-

der your arm.

22p005b

Adjust the position of the lap and shoulder belts.

Position the lap belt as low as possible on your hips—not on your waist, then adjust it to a snug fit by pulling the shoulder portion upward through the latch plate.

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.

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 serious injuries in a collision.

22p004a

—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.

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 your Toyota dealer.

To release the belt, press the buckle release 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.

CAUTION

When using the seat belt extender, observe the following precautions. Failure to follow these instructions could reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt restraint system in case of an accident, increasing the chance of personal injury.

D Remember that the extender pro-

vided for you may not be safe when used on a different vehicle, for another person, or at a different seating position than the one originally intended.

22p205

D If the seat belt extender has been

connected to the driver’s seat belt buckle without wearing the seat belt when using the extender in the driver’s seat, the SRS driver’s airbag system will judge that the driver wears the seat belt even if not wearing it. In this case, the driver’s airbag may not activate correctly, causing death or serious injury in the event of collision. Be sure to wear the seat belt with the seat belt extender.

D Be sure to wear the seat belt with-

out the seat belt extender if you can fasten the seat belt without the extender.

D Do not use the seat belt extender

when installing a child restraint system on the front or rear passenger seat. If installing a child restraint system with the seat belt extender connected to the seat belt, the seat belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in the event of collision.

22p008

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 seat belt, 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

D After inserting the tab, make sure

the tab and buckle are locked and that the lap and shoulder portions of the belt and the seat belt extender are not twisted.

D Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in

the buckle as this may prevent you from properly latching the tab and buckle.

D If the seat belt does not function

normally, immediately contact your Toyota dealer. Do not use the seat until the seat belt is fixed, because it cannot protect an adult occupant or your child from injury.

—Seat belt pretensioners

22p009a

There are seat belt pretensioners for both front seats. They are designed to be activated in response to a severe frontal impact.

When the sensor detects a severe frontal impact, the front seat belts are quickly drawn back by the retractor so that the belts snugly restrain the occupants.

The seat belt pretensioners are activated even with no passenger in the front seat.

The seat belt pretensioner and SRS airbags may not operate together in all collisions.

22p011a

The seat belt pretensioner system consists mainly of the following components and their locations are shown in the illustration.

1. Front airbag sensors

2. SRS warning light

3. Seat belt pretensioner assemblies

4. Airbag sensor assembly

The seat belt pretensioners are controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. The airbag sensor assembly consists of a safing sensor and airbag sensor.

When the seat belt pretensioners are activated, an operating noise may be heard and a small amount of non−toxic gas may be released. This does not indicate that a fire is occurring. This gas is normally harmless.

Once the seat belt pretensioners have been activated, the seat belt retractors remain locked.

CAUTION

Do not modify, remove, strike or open the seat belt pretensioner assemblies, airbag sensor or surrounding area or wiring. Failure to follow these instructions may prevent the seat belt pretensioners from activating correctly, cause sudden operation of the system or disable the system, which could result in death or serious injury. Consult your Toyota dealer about any repair and modification.

NOTICE

Do not perform any of the following changes without consulting your Toyota dealer. Such changes can interfere with proper operation of the seat belt pretensioners in some cases.

z Installation of electronic devices

such as a mobile two−way radio, cassette tape player or compact disc player

z Repairs on or near the front seat

belt retractor assemblies

z Modification of the suspension sys-

tem

z Modification of the front end struc-

ture

z Attachment of a grille guard (bull

bar, kangaroo bar, etc.), snowplow, winches or any other equipment to the front end

z Repairs made on or near the front

fenders, front end structure or console

22p010a

This indicator comes on when the “IG− ON” mode is enabled. It goes off after about 6 seconds. This means the seat belt pretensioners are operating properly.

The warning light system monitors the airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sensors, side and curtain shield airbag sensors, curtain shield airbag sensors, driver ’s seat position sensor, driver’s seat belt buckle switch, front passenger ’s seat belt buckle switch, seat belt pretensioner assemblies, warning light, interconnecting wiring and power sources. (For details, see “Service reminder indicators and warning buzzers” on page 117.)

If any of the following conditions occurs, this indicates a malfunction of the airbags or seat belt pretensioners. Contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

D The light does not come on when the

“IG−ON” mode is enabled or remains on for more than 6 seconds.

D The light comes on while driving. D If either front seat belt does not retract

or can not be pulled out due to a malfunction or activation of the relevant seat belt pretensioner.

SRS driver and front passenger airbags

22p012a

22p013a

In the following cases, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible:

D The front part of the vehicle (shaded

in the illustration) was involved in an accident that was not severe enough to cause the seat belt pretensioners to operate.

D The seat belt pretensioner assembly or

surrounding area is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged.

The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) front airbags are designed to provide further protection for the driver and front passenger in addition to the primary safety protection provided by the seat belts.

In response to a severe frontal impact, the SRS front airbags work together with the seat belts to help reduce injury by inflating. The SRS front airbags help reduce injuries mainly to the driver’s or front passenger’s head or chest caused by hitting the vehicle interior.

The front passenger airbag is activated even with no passenger in the front seat.

Always wear your seat belt properly.

CAUTION

D The SRS front airbag system is de-

signed only as a supplement to the primary protection of the driver and front passenger seat belt systems. The driver and front passenger can be killed or seriously injured by the inflating airbags if they do not wear the available seat belts properly. During sudden braking just before a collision, an unrestrained driver or front passenger can move forward into direct contact with or close proximity to the airbag which may then deploy during the collision. To ensure maximum protection in an accident, the driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts properly. Wearing a seat belt properly during an accident reduces the chances of death or serious injury or being thrown out of the vehicle. For instructions and precautions concerning the seat belt system, see “Seat belts” on page 58.

D Improperly seated and/or restrained

infants and children can be killed or seriously injured by the deploying airbags. An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint system. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seat of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seat is the safest for infants and children. For instructions concerning the installation of a child restraint system, see “Child restraint” on page 79.

The SRS front airbags are designed to deploy in severe (usually frontal) collisions where the magnitude and duration of the forward deceleration of the vehicle exceeds the designed threshold level.

The SRS front airbags will deploy if the severity of the impact is above the designed threshold level, comparable to an approximate 25 km/h (15 mph) collision when the vehicle has the impact straight into a fixed barrier that does not move or deform.

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 the vehicle is involved in an underride collision (e.g. a collision in which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a truck, etc.).

It is possible that in some collisions where the forward deceleration of the vehicle is very close to the designed threshold level, the SRS front airbags and the seat belt pretensioners may not activate together.

Always wear your seat belts properly.

Collision from

22p015c

the rear

Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard surface

22p016c

Falling into or jumping over a deep hole

22p206

Collision from the side

The SRS front airbags are generally not designed to 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 deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front airbags may occur.

Vehicle rollover

Landing hard or vehicle falling

The SRS front airbags may also deploy if a serious impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some examples are shown in the illustration.

The SRS front airbag system consists mainly of the following components and their locations are shown in the illustration.

1. Front airbag sensors

2. SRS warning light

3. Airbag module for front passenger (airbag and inflator)

4. Driver’s seat belt buckle switch

5. Driver’s seat position sensor

6. Airbag sensor assembly

7. Airbag module for driver (airbag and inflator)

The airbag sensor assembly consists of a safing sensor and airbag sensor.

The front airbag sensors constantly monitor the forward deceleration of the vehicle. If an impact results in a forward deceleration beyond the designed threshold level, the system triggers the airbag inflators. At this time a chemical reaction in the inflators very quickly fills the airbags with non− toxic gas to help restrain the froward motion of the occupants. The front airbags then quickly deflate, so that there is no obstruction of the driver’s vision should it be necessary to continue driving.

When the airbags inflate, they produce a loud noise and release some smoke and residue along with non−toxic gas. This does not indicate a fire. This smoke may remain inside the vehicle for some time, and may cause some minor irritation to the eyes, skin or breathing. Be sure to wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent any potential skin irritation with soap and water. If you can safely exit from the vehicle, you should do so immediately.

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, primarily to the head and chest, it may also cause other, less severe injuries to the face, chest, arms and hands. These are usually in the nature of minor burns or abrasions and swelling, but the force of a deploying airbag can cause more serious injuries, especially if an occupant’s hands, arms, chest or head is in close proximity to the airbag module at the time of deployment. This is why it is important for the occupant to: avoid placing any object or part of the body between the occupant and the airbag module; sit straight and well back into the seat; wear the available seat belt properly; and sit as far as possible from the airbag module, while still maintaining control of the vehicle.

Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) may be hot for several minutes after deployment, so do not touch! The airbags inflate only once. The windshield may be damaged by absorbing some of the force of the inflating airbag.

CAUTION

The driver or front passenger who is too close to the steering wheel or dashboard during airbag deployment can be killed or seriously injured. Toyota strongly recommends that:

D The driver sit as far back as pos-

sible from the steering wheel while still maintaining control of the vehicle.

D The front passenger sit as far back

as possible from the dashboard.

D All vehicle occupants be properly

restrained using the available seat belts.

D If the seat belt extender has been

22p020a

D Do not sit on the edge of the seat

or lean against the dashboard when the vehicle is in use, since the front passenger airbag could inflate with considerable speed and force. Anyone who is up against, or very close to, an airbag when it inflates, can be killed or seriously injured. Sit up straight and well back in the seat, and always use your seat belt properly.

22p021b

D Toyota strongly recommends that

all infants and children be placed in the rear seat of the vehicle and be properly restrained.

D Do not allow a child to stand up or

kneel on the front passenger seat, since the front passenger airbag could inflate with considerable speed and force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously injured.

D 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” on page 79.

22p022c

D Do not put anything or any part of

your body on or in front of the dashboard or steering wheel pad that houses the front airbag system. They might restrict inflation or cause death or serious injury as they are projected rearward by the force of the deploying airbags. Likewise, the driver and front passenger should not hold objects in their arms or on their knees.

D Do not modify or remove any wir-

ing. Do not modify, remove, strike or open any components, such as the steering wheel pad, steering wheel, column cover, dashboard near the front passenger airbag, front passenger airbag cover, front passenger airbag or airbag sensor assembly. Doing so may prevent the front airbag system from activating correctly, cause sudden front airbags activation of the system or disable the system, which could result in death or serious injury.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury. Consult your Toyota dealer about any repair and modification.

NOTICE

Do not perform any of the following changes without consulting your Toyota dealer. Such changes can interfere with proper operation of the SRS front airbag system in some cases.

flated.

D The front of the vehicle (shaded in the

illustration) was involved in an accident that was not severe enough to cause the SRS front airbags to inflate.

D The pad section of the steering wheel

or front passenger airbag cover (shaded in the illustration) is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged.

NOTICE

Do not disconnect the battery cables before contacting your Toyota dealer.

SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags

22p024b

The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) side airbags and curtain shield airbags are designed to provide further protection for the driver, front passenger and rear outside passengers in addition to the primary safety protection provided by the seat belts.

In response to a severe side impact, the SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags work with the seat belts to help reduce injury by inflating. The SRS side airbags help reduce injuries mainly to the driver ’s or front passenger’s chest and the SRS curtain shield airbags help reduce injuries mainly to the driver’s, front passenger’s or rear outside passenger’s head.

The SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag on the passenger side are activated even with no passenger in the front seat or rear seat.

The SRS curtain shield airbags may activate even when the side airbags are not activated.

Always wear your seat belt properly.

CAUTION

D The SRS side airbag and curtain

shield airbag system is designed only as a supplement to the primary protection of the driver, front passenger and rear outside passenger seat belt systems. To ensure maximum protection in an accident, the driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts properly. Wearing a seat belt properly during an accident reduces the chances of death or serious injury or being thrown out of the vehicle. For instructions and precautions concerning the seat belt system, see “Seat belts” on page 58.

D Do not allow anyone to lean his/her

head or any part of his/her body against the door or the area of the seat, front pillar, rear pillar or roof side rail from which the SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag deploy even if he/she is a child seated in the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag inflate, and the impact of the deploying airbag could cause death or serious injury to the occupant.

D Improperly seated and/or restrained

infants and children can be killed or seriously injured by the deploying airbags. An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint system. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats are the safest for infants and children. For instructions concerning the installation of a child restraint system, see “Child restraint” on page

79.

22p025a

The SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag system 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 as shown in the illustration.

The SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags are designed to inflate when the passenger compartment area suffers a severe impact from the side.

Always wear your seat belts properly.

Vehicle rollover

The SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags are not generally designed to inflate if the vehicle is involved in a front or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low−speed side collision.

22p027a

The SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag system consists mainly of the following components, and their locations are shown in the illustration.

1. SRS warning light

2. Curtain shield airbag modules (airbag and inflator)

3. Side airbag modules (airbag and inflator)

4. Curtain shield airbag sensors

5. Side and curtain shield airbag sensors

6. Airbag sensor assembly

The SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. The airbag sensor assembly consists of a safing sensor and airbag sensor.

In a severe side impact, the side and curtain shield airbag sensor and/or the curtain shield airbag sensor trigger(s) the side airbag inflators and/or the curtain shield airbag inflators. At this time a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non−toxic gas to help restrain the lateral motion of the occupants.

When the airbags inflate, they produce a fairly loud noise and release some smoke and residue along with non−toxic gas. This does not indicate a fire. This smoke may remain inside the vehicle for some time, and may cause some minor irritation to the eyes, skin or breathing. Be sure to wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent any potential skin irritation with soap and water. If you can safely exit from the vehicle, you should do so immediately.

Deployment of the airbags happen 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 swelling.

D Do not hook a hanger, heavy or

sharp pointed objects on the coat hook. If the curtain shield airbag inflates, those items will be thrown away with great force or the curtain shield airbag may not activate correctly, resulting in death or serious injury. When you hang clothes, hang them on the coat hook directly.

D Do not use seat accessories which

cover the parts where the side airbags inflate. Such accessories may prevent the side airbags from activating correctly, causing death or serious injury.

D Do not modify or replace the seats

or upholstery of the seats with side airbags. Such changes may prevent the side airbag system from activating correctly, disable the system or cause the side airbags to inflate accidentally, resulting in death or serious injury.

D Do not disassemble or repair the

front and rear pillars and roof side rails containing the curtain shield airbags. Such changes may disable the system or cause the curtain shield airbags to inflate accidentally, resulting in death or serious injury.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury. Consult your Toyota dealer about any repair and modification.

Child restraint— —Child restraint precautions

Toyota strongly urges the use of appropriate child restraint systems for children.

The laws of all 50 states in the U.S.A. and Canada now require the use of a child restraint system.

Your vehicle conforms to SAEJ1819.

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. See “Seat belts” on page 58 for details.

CAUTION

D For effective protection in automo-

bile accidents and sudden stops, a child must be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system depending on the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle’s interior.

D Toyota strongly urges use of a

proper child restraint system which conforms to the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.

D Never install a rear−facing child re-

straint system on the front passenger seat. In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child if the rear−facing child restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat.

D A forward−facing child restraint

system should be allowed to be installed on the front passenger seat only when it is unavoidable. Always move the seat as far back as possible, because the front passenger airbag could inflate with considerable speed and force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously injured.

D On vehicles with side airbags and

curtain shield airbags, do not allow the child to lean his/her head or any part of his/her body against the door or the area of the seat, front or rear pillar or roof side rail from which the side airbags or curtain shield airbags deploy even if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the side airbag and curtain shield airbag inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.

D Do not use the seat belt extender

D Make sure you have complied with

all installation instructions provided by the child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If it is not secured properly, it may cause death or serious injury to the child in the event of a sudden stop or accident.

—Child restraint system

A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be properly restrained on the seat with the lap portion of the lap/shoulder belt. You must carefully consult the manufacturer’s instructions which accompany child restraint system.

To provide proper restraint, use a child restraint system following the manufacturer’s instructions about the appropriate age and size of the child for the child restraint system.

Install the child restraint system correctly following the instructions provided by its manufacturer. General directions are also provided under the following instructions.

The child restraint system should be installed on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.

When not using the child restraint system, keep it secured with the seat belt or place it somewhere other than the passenger compartment. This will prevent it from injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop or accident.

—Types of child restraint system

Child restraint systems are classified into the following 3 types depending on the child’s age and size.

(A) Infant seat (B) Convertible seat (C) Booster seat

Install the child restraint system following the instructions provided by its manufacturer.

Your vehicle has anchor brackets for securing the top strap of a child restraint system.

For instructions about how to use the anchor bracket, see “—Using top strap” on page 91.

The child restraint lower anchorages approved for your vehicle may also be used. See “—Installation with child restraint lower anchorages” on page 93.
