ÿ Instructions for
the use of seat belts
Arm rest
Toyota strongly recommends that the driver and all
passengers in the vehicle wear seat belts at all times
while driving.
Failure to do so may increase the possibility and/or
severity of personal injury in the event of an accident.
Your vehicle is equipped with seat belts for adults, large
enough to use.
Child. Use an appropriate child restraint system to
restrain the child until the child is old enough to use seat
belts in the vehicle. Toyota recommends using a child
restraint system that complies with "EEC No. 44". Details
- see "Seating in children" on page 101 in this chapter.
To use the armrest, pull out the armrest as shown.
If a child is too large for a child restraint system, they
should sit in the back seat and must be properly
restrained by the vehicle's seat belt. According to
accident statistics, it is safer to seat and buckle a child in
the back seat than in the front.
If the child must sit in the front seat, he should be
properly fastened with a seat belt. If the seat belts are
not used correctly in an accident, the child could be killed
or seriously injured by the force of the rapid inflation of
the airbag.
Do not allow any child to stand or kneel anywhere in the
back or front seat.
An unrestrained child is at risk of death or serious injury
in the event of emergency braking or an accident. Also,
don't let the baby sit on your lap. Holding the baby in
your arms will not provide sufficient protection.
Pregnant woman. Toyota recommends using a seat
belt. Contact your doctor for special recommendations.
The lap belt should be fastened securely, and should be
placed as low as possible over the hips, not across the
abdomen.
Injured person. Toyota recommends using a seat belt.
Depending on the type of injury, ask your doctor about
special recommendations.
