Seat Precautions
When returning a rear seat to its original position, place the seat belt
in its normal position. Verify that the seat belt pulls out and retracts.
WARNING
■ Make sure the adjustable components of a seat are locked in place
Adjustable seats and seatbacks that are not securely locked are dangerous.
In a sudden stop or collision, the seat or seatback could move, causing
injury. Make sure the adjustable components of the seat are locked in place
by attempting to slide the seat forward and backward and rocking the seat-
back.
■ Never allow children to adjust a seat
Allowing children to adjust a seat is dangerous as it could result in serious
injury if a child’s hands or feet become caught in the seat.
■ Do not drive with the seatback unlocked
All of the seatbacks play an important role in your protection in a vehicle.
Leaving the seatback unlocked is dangerous as it can allow passengers to
be ejected or thrown around and baggage to strike occupants in a sudden
stop or collision, resulting in severe injury. After adjusting the seatback at
any time, even when there are no other passengers, rock the seatback to
make sure it is locked in place.
■ Adjust a seat only when the vehicle is stopped
If the seat is adjusted while the vehicle is being driven, the seating posture
may become unstable and the seat could move unexpectedly resulting in
injury.
■ Do not modify or replace the front seats
Modifying or replacing the front seats such as replacing the upholstery or
loosening any bolts is dangerous. The front seats contain air bag compo-
nents essential to the supplemental restraint system. Such modifications
could damage the supplemental restraint system and result in serious injury.
Consult your Toyota dealer if there is any need to remove or reinstall the
front seats.
■ Do not drive with damaged front seats
Driving with damaged front seats, such as seat cushions torn or damaged
down to the urethane, is dangerous. A collision, even one not strong
enough to inflate the air bags, could damage the front seats which contain
essential air bag components. If there was a subsequent collision, an air
bag may not deploy which could lead to injuries. Always have your Toyota
dealer inspect the front seats, front seat belt pretensioners and air bags
after a collision.
