Caution Caution Caution
4 • The seat switch function prevents traveling and
load handling operations when the operator is
not seated in the seat. Be sure to remain seated
in the seat while in operation. Do not operate the
vehicle with any objects placed on the seat. This
will cause the OPS system to operate abnor-
mally.
• Sitting incorrectly in the seat will make the
steering heavy.
• The seat switch should be activated only by sit-
ting in the seat.
Suspension seat
The seat suspension mechanism provides a comforta-
ble seating position based on the weight of the driver.
The optimum driving position can be set using the fol-
lowing knob and levers.

Pull the slide lever up to move the seat back and
forth. The seat is locked in position when the
lever is released.

Press the knob at the rear left to adjust the angle
of the seat back.
(3) Weight adjust knob
Turn the knob on the front right of the seat clock-
wise to adjust for a heavier body weight. Turn the

on the rear side of the seat back. Push down the clip
and pull the pocket to open it. If the manual is missing,
be sure to ask a Toyota dealer for a copy.
Note:
Make sure the pocket is closed securely.
Swivel seat (OPT)
This option can improve posture and the view during
backward driving. Also it supports getting off, because
it rotate to the left and it expands space wider between
pillar and seat back.

Seat can returned to neutral position by pulling it.
Warning
While rotating the seat, do not put hands etc. in
range of rotation.
Seat belt
To fasten the seat 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. Pull the belt to make sure the buckle is
securely latched.
The seat belt length automatically adjusts to your size.
To release, push the release button and allow the belt to
retract.
Caution Caution Caution
Always fasten the seat belt during operation. Your
seat and seat belt will reduce the risk of serious
injury or death in case of a vehicle tipover. In a
tipover, danger of serious injury or death is reduced
if you stay with the vehicle in the operator's com-
partment.
Note:
If the seat belt is locked and cannot be drawn out any
further, pull on the belt strongly once, then loosen it,
then draw it back out slowly.
Warning
Always wear the seat belt when driving the vehicle.
Vehicles can tip over if operated improperly. In
order to be protected from the risk of serious injury
or death in the event of a tipover, the operator must
be held securely in the seat. The seat and seat belt
will help maintain vehicle safety and safety in the
operator's compartment. In the event of a tipover,
do not jump off, but, grip the steering wheel, brace
your feet, lean away from the direction of tipover,
and stay in the vehicle.
Please always fasten your seat belt when operating
the vehicle.
