Seat belts

Make sure that all occupants are wearing their seat belts before

driving the vehicle.

Correct use of the seat belts

it comes fully over the shoulder,

but does not come into contact

with the neck or slide off the

shoulder.

● Position the lap belt as low as

possible over the hips.

● Adjust the position of the seat-

back. Sit up straight and well

back in the seat.

● Do not twist the seat belt.

Fastening and releasing the seat belt

Seat belt pretensioners (front seats)

The pretensioners help the seat

belts to quickly restrain the occu-

pants by retracting the seat belts

when the vehicle is subjected to

certain types of severe frontal or

side collision.

1

The pretensioners do not activate

in the event of a minor frontal

impact, a minor 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. 52)

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

belt, follow the instructions regarding seat belt usage. (P. 32)

■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 collisions.

■Seat belt regulations

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

any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable

repairer for seat belt replacement or installation.

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. 32)

Women who are pregnant should posi-

tion the lap belt as low as possible over

the hips in the same manner as other

occupants, extending the shoulder belt

completely over the shoulder and avoid-

ing belt contact with 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.

■Seat belt pretensioners

1

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 retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable

repairer.

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

belts 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 retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

●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 retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. Inappro-

priate handling of the pretensioner may prevent it from operating properly

resulting in death or serious injury.
