WARNING

■Seat adjustment

●To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not

recline the seat more than necessary.

1

If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply

restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the

shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of

an accident.

Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpect-

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

●After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in position.

●Take care not to hit passengers with the seat.

When sliding the seat rearward, make sure not to squash the legs of the

rear passengers.

●When returning the seatback upright, perform seatback angle adjustment

while holding down the seatback.

●Do not pull on or use the seat belt guide to adjust or fold the front seat.

●Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid

injury. Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.

■When driving the vehicle

Never operate the seatback angle adjustment lever or seatback fold strap.

Doing so could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

■Getting in and out of the rear seats

●When getting in or out of the rear seats, make sure not to get your hands,

easily extended, pass the seat

belt through the guide.

Seat belt pretensioners (front seats)

The pretensioner helps the seat

belt to quickly restrain the occu-

pant by retracting the seat belt

when the vehicle is subjected to

certain types of severe frontal or

side collision or a vehicle roll-

over.

The pretensioner may not acti-

vate in the event of a minor frontal

or side impact or a rear impact.

61

1-3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)

■Emergency locking retractor (ELR)

The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also

lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to

extend so that you can move around fully.

■Automatic locking retractor (ALR)

When a passenger's shoulder belt is completely extended and 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 (CRS) firmly.

To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once

more. (P. 141)

■Child seat belt usage

The seat belts of your vehicle are principally designed for persons of adult

size.

●Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child

becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat belt.

(P. 137)

●When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat

belt, follow the instructions on P. 60 regarding seat belt usage.

■Seat belt pretensioners

●Seatbelt pretensioners are not designed to activate in a rear impact or

minor frontal or side impact.

●The following four components operate simultaneously when the vehicle

is involved in a rollover accident.

• Seat belt pretensioner for driver

• Seat belt pretensioner for front passenger

• SRS curtain shield airbag for driver’s seat side

• SRS curtain shield airbag for front passenger’s seat side

62

1-3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)

●The following four components operate simultaneously when the vehicle

is subjected to a severe frontal collision.

• Seat belt pretensioner for driver

• Seat belt pretensioner for front passenger

• SRS front airbag for driver

1

• SRS front airbag for front passenger*

*: This does not operate while the occupant classification system deter-

mines to deactivate the airbag operation. For details, refer to “Front pas-

senger’s SRS frontal airbag” (P. 97)

●The following two components operate simultaneously when the vehicle

is subjected to a severe collision on the driver’s seat side of the vehicle.

• Seat belt pretensioner for driver

• Side airbag for driver

●The following two components operate simultaneously when the vehicle

is subjected to a severe collision on the front passenger’s seat side of the

vehicle.

• Seat belt pretensioner for front passenger

• Side airbag for front passenger

●Pretensioners are designed to function on a one-time-only basis. In the

event that a pretensioner is activated, both the driver’s and front passen-

ger’s seat belt retractor assemblies must be replaced only by Toyota

dealer. When replacing seat belt retractor assemblies for the front seat-

ing positions, use only genuine Toyota parts equipped with a force limiter.

●If either front seat belt does not retract or cannot be pulled out due to a

malfunction or activation of the pretensioner, contact your Toyota dealer

as soon as possible.

●If the front seat belt retractor assembly or surrounding area has been

damaged, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

●When you sell your vehicle, we urge you to explain to the buyer that it

has seat belt pretensioners by alerting the buyer to the contents of this

section.

■Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated

If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate

for the first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent colli-

sions.

WARNING

Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of

sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

Failure to do so may cause death or serious 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.

●To achieve a proper seating position, do not recline the seat more than

necessary. 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.

■Pregnant women

Obtain medical advice and wear the seat

belt in the proper way. (P. 60)

Women who are pregnant should position

the lap belt as low as possible over the

hips in the same manner as other occu-

pants. Extend the shoulder belt com-

pletely over the shoulder and position the

belt across the chest. Avoid belt contact

over the rounding of the abdominal area.

If the seat belt is not worn properly, not

only the pregnant woman, but also the

fetus could suffer death or serious injury

as a result of sudden braking or a colli-

sion.

WARNING

■People with a medical condition

Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way.

■When children are in the vehicle

1

Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes

twisted around a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries

that could result in death.

If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used

to cut the belt.

■Seat belt pretensioners

If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will come on. In that

case, the seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced at your

Toyota dealer.

65

WARNING

■Seat belt damage and wear

●Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be

jammed in the door.

●Inspect the seat belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose

parts. Replace a damaged seat belt immediately. Damaged seat belts can-

not protect an occupant from death or serious injury.

●Ensure that the belt and plate are locked and the belt is not twisted.

If the seat belt does not function correctly, immediately contact your Toyota

dealer.

●Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been

involved in a serious accident, even if there's no obvious damage.

●Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of the

seat belts. Have any necessary repairs carried out by your Toyota dealer.

Inappropriate handling of the pretensioner may prevent it from operating

properly, resulting in death or serious injury.

■When using the seat belt guide

●Always make sure that the belt is not twisted, and runs freely through the

guide.

●Regardless of whether the guide is used or not, always secure the seat

belt guide button.

●Do not hang from or pull the guide forcefully.

■Before using the rear seat belts

Always make sure that the seat belt is not

caught in the seatback or twisted in one

of the hooks that secure the seatback.

Failure to do so may cause the seat belt

ineffective in a collision, resulting in death

or serious injury.
