The indicator lamp will go off after driving the vehicle several times. If the indicator lamp does not go off, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

If you leave the fuel filler door open and the hybrid system, a message start “CLOSE FUEL LID” will appear on the multi−information display. Make sure the fuel filler door is closed.

To operate the moon roof, use switches on the overhead console. The moon roof works when the “POWER” switch is set at ON. The sun shade can be opened or closed by hand. Sliding operation— To open: Push and hold the switch for 1
second toward the vehicle’s rear. The roof will open and stop partway 90
mm (3.6 in.) from the fully opened posi- tion. When you push the switch again, the moon roof will open fully. To stop the roof partway, push one of roof switches briefly. As driving with the moon roof opened fully will cause wind throbs, we recommend you to drive with the moon roof partway 90 mm (3.6 in.) from the fully opened position. The sun shade will be opened together with the roof. To close: Push and hold the switch for 1
second toward the vehicle’s front. The roof will fully close automatically. To stop the roof partway, push one of the moon roof switches briefly.

If someone’s neck, head or hands get caught in the closing roof, it could result injury. When anyone closes the moon roof, first make sure it is safe to do so. D Never leave anyone (particularly a small child) alone in your vehicle, especially with the “POWER” switch set at ON. Otherwise, he/she could use the moon roof switch and get trapped in the roof opening. Unat- tended person (particularly a small child) can be involved in a serious accident.

Seats While the vehicle is being driven, all ve- hicle occupants should have the seatback upright, sit well back in the seat and prop- erly wear the seat belts provided.

CAUTION

D Do not drive the vehicle unless the occupants are properly seated. Do not allow any passengers to sit on top of a folded−down seatback, or in the luggage compartment or car- go area. Persons not properly seated and/or not properly re- strained by seat belts can be killed or severely injured in the event of emergency braking or a collision.

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

Front seats— —Front seat precautions 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 driver 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 in.) away now, you can change your driving position in sever- al 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, sim- ply 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 air- bag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.

The seat should be adjusted as rec- ommended by NHTSA above, while still maintaining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instrument panel controls.

Front passenger seat

Front seats

CAUTION

CAUTION

The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or serious injury es- pecially if the front passenger is very close to the airbag. The front passen- ger seat should be as far from the airbag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits upright.

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 consid- erable speed and force. Otherwise, you may be killed or seriously in- jured.

D Do not use seat accessories which cover the area where the side air- bags inflate. Such accessories may prevent the side airbags from acti- vating correctly, causing death or serious injury.

D Do not modify or replace the seats or upholstery of the seats. 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 precautions

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 in position.

Seat belts— —Seat belt precautions Toyota strongly urges that the driver and passengers in the vehicle be properly re- strained 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 ap- propriate for the child until the child be- comes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belts. See “Child restraint” on page 96 in this Section 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 infla- tion of the airbag may cause death or serious injury to the child.
