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.

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

come into contact with the

neck or slide off the shoul-

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 may not acti-

vate in the event of a minor frontal

impact, a side impact or a rear

impact.

43

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. 87)

■Pregnant women

Obtain medical advice and wear the seat

belt in the proper way. (P. 41)

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 a pregnant woman, but also the fetus

could suffer death or serious injury as a

result of sudden braking or a collision.

■People suffering illness

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

44

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

■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

become large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat belt. (P. 83)

1

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

belt, follow the instructions on P. 41 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 extender

If your seat belts cannot be fastened

securely because they are not long

enough,

a

personalized seat belt

extender is available from your Toyota

dealer free of charge.

CAUTION

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

sudden braking or an accident.

Failing to do so may cause death or severe 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.

45

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

CAUTION

■Wearing a seat belt

●Do not recline the seat any more than necessary to achieve a proper seat-

ing position. 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.

■Seat belt pretensioners

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

Doing so will disperse the passenger’s weight, which prevents the sensor

from detecting the passenger’s weight properly. As a result, 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 seat belt becomes locked: it cannot

be further extended, nor will it return to the stowed position. The seatbelt

cannot be used again and must be replaced at your Toyota dealer.

■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

belt cannot protect an occupant from death or serious injury.

●Ensure that the belt and tab 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 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 your Toyota dealer.

Inappropriate handling of the pretensioner may prevent it from operating

properly resulting in death or serious injury.

46

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

CAUTION

■When using the rear center seat belt (split rear seats only)

Do not use the rear center seat belt with

1

either buckle released. Fastening only

one of the buckles may result in death or

serious injury in case of sudden braking

or a collision.

■Using a seat belt extender

●Do not wear the seat belt extender, if you can fasten the seat belt without

the extender.

●Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system,

because the belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, increas-

ing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of a collision.

●The personalized extender may not be safe on another vehicle, when

used by another person, or at a different seating position other than the

one originally intended.

NOTICE

■When using a seat belt extender

When releasing the seat belt, press on the buckle release button on the

extender, not on the seat belt.

This helps prevent damage to the vehicle interior and the extender itself.

CAUTION

■Refueling the vehicle

Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle.

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

1

●Touch the vehicle or some other metal surface to discharge any static

electricity.

Sparks resulting from discharging static electricity may cause the fuel

vapors to ignite.

●Always hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it.

A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened.

Wait until the sound cannot be heard before fully removing the cap.

In hot weather, pressurized fuel may spray out of the filler neck and cause

injury.

●Do not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their

bodies to come close to an open fuel tank.

●Do not inhale vaporized fuel.

Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.

●Do not smoke while refueling the vehicle.

Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.

●Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically

charged.

This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible ignition

hazard.

■When replacing the fuel tank cap

Do not use anything but a genuine Toyota fuel tank cap designed for your

vehicle. Doing so may cause a fire or other incident which may result in

death or serious injury.

57

1-5. Refueling

NOTICE

■Refueling

Do not spill fuel during refueling.
