CAUTION

Seat adjustment

 Be careful that the seat does not hit passengers or luggage.

1

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

recline the seat more than necessary.

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.

 Never allow anyone to touch seatback angle adjustment levers while vehi-

cle is moving.

 If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are clear of the seat back path

and let them know that the seat is about to move.

After returning the seatback to the upright position

Make sure the seatback is securely locked by pushing it forward and rear-

ward. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

der.

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

collision.

The pretensioner does not acti-

vate in the event of a minor frontal

impact, a side impact, a rear

impact or a vehicle rollover.

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.

Child seat belt usage

The seat belts of your vehicle were 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. 92)

 When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s

seat belt, follow the instructions on P. 59 regarding seat belt usage.

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.

Seat belt regulations

If seat belt regulations exist in the country where you reside, please contact

any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and

equipped professional for seat belt replacement or installation.

CAUTION

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.

1

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. 59)

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.

People suffering illness

Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way. (P. 59)

61

CAUTION

When children are in the vehicle

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

 Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger’s seat.

The seat belt pretensioner for the front passenger’s seat may not activate

in the event of a collision.

 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 any

authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and

equipped professional.

Seat belt damage and wear

 Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt or plate to be jammed in

the door.

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

parts. Do not use a damaged seat belt until it is replaced. Damaged seat

belt cannot 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 any autho-

rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-

fessional.

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

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

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

seat belts. Have any necessary repairs carried out by any authorized Toy-

ota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

Inappropriate handling of the pretensioner may prevent it from operating

properly, resulting in death or serious injury.
