CAUTION

■ General precautions while driving

Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ­ence of alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehi­cle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment and
reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in
death or serious injury.

Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other
drivers or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.

Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that dis­tracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or
reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you,
your occupants or others.

■ General precaution regarding children’s safety

Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to
have or use the key.

Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral.
There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with
the windows, the moon roof, or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat
build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to
children.

forces directly to the abdomen or your neck may contact the shoulder belt.

● Be careful not to get your hands or feet pinched in the seat.

● Do not adjust the seat while the vehicle is moving as the seat may unex-

pectedly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

● Be careful that the seat does not hit a passenger or luggage.

● Do not put objects under the seats.

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

● Avoid reclining the seatback any more than needed.

● Adjust both seat cushions to the same position and align all seatbacks at

the same angle when a person sits in the rear center position.

Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of
sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
Failing to do so may cause death or severe injury.

■ Wearing a seat belt

● Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt.

● Always wear a seat belt properly.

● Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt

for more than one person at once, including children.

● Toyota recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and always

use a seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.

● Do not recline the seat any more than necessary to achieve a proper seat-

ing position. 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.

■ Adjustable shoulder anchor

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 death or serious injuries in the event of a sudden stop,
sudden swerve or accident. (→P. 69)
