Seat Belt Extender  
If your seat belt is not long enough, even when fully extended, a  
seat belt extender may be available to you at no charge from  
your Toyota dealer.  
This extender will be only for you and for the particular vehicle and  
seat. Even if it plugs into other seat belts, it may not hold in the critical  
moment of a crash.  
When ordering an extender, only order one that provides the neces-  
sary additional length to fasten the seat belt properly.  
Please contact your Toyota dealer for more information.  
When not in use, remove the seat belt extender and store it in the vehicle. If  
the seat belt extender is left connected, the seat belt extender might get dam-  
aged as it will not retract with the rest of the seat belt and can easily fall out of  
the door when not in use and be damaged. In addition, the seat belt warning  
light will not illuminate and function properly.  
WARNING  
Do not use a seat belt extender unless it is necessary  
Using a seat belt extender when not necessary is dangerous. The seat belt  
will be too long and not fit properly. In an accident, the seat belt will not pro-  
vide adequate protection and you could be seriously injured. Only use the  
extender when it is required to fasten the seat belt properly.  
Do not use an improper extender  
Using a seat belt extender that is for another person or a different vehicle or  
seat is dangerous. The seat belt will not provide adequate protection and  
the user could be seriously injured in an accident. Only use the extender  
provided for you and for the particular vehicle and seat. NEVER use the  
extender in a different vehicle or seat. If you sell your Toyota, do not leave  
your seat belt extender in the vehicle. It could be used accidentally by the  
new owner of the vehicle. After removing the seat belt extender, discard it.  
Never use the seat belt extender in any other vehicle you may own in the  
future.

WARNING  
Do not use an extender that is too long  
Using an extender that is too long is dangerous. The seat belt will not fit  
properly. In an accident, the seat belt will not provide adequate protection  
and you could be seriously injured. Do not use the extender or choose one  
shorter in length if the distance between the extender’s buckle and the cen-  
ter of the user’s body is less than 6 in. (150 mm).

Do not leave a seat belt extender connected to the buckle  
Leaving a seat belt extender connected to the buckle without using the seat  
belt is dangerous. When the seat belt extender is connected to the driver’s  
seat belt buckle (or front passenger’s seat belt buckle), the SRS driver’s (or  
front passenger’s) air bag system will determine that the driver (or front pas-  
senger) is wearing the seat belt even if the driver (or front passenger) is not  
wearing it. This condition could cause the driver’s (or front passenger’s) air  
bag to not activate correctly and result in death or serious injury in the event  
of collision. Always wear the seat belt with the seat belt extender.  
Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child-restraint sys-  
tem on the front or rear passenger seat  
Using a seat belt extender to fasten a child-restraint system on any seat is  
dangerous. Always follow the child-restraint system manufacturer’s installa-  
tion instructions and never use a seat belt extender.
