CAUTION


■Seat adjustment


●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.

■ Adjusting the seat belt shoulder anchor height (front seats) Push the seat belt shoulder anchor down while pressing the release button. Push the seat belt shoulder anchor up. Move the height adjuster up and down as needed until you hear a click.


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.


110


1-4. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)


Pre-collision seat belts (front seats of vehicles with pre-collision system)


If the system determines that a collision is unavoidable, the front seat belts will retract before the collision. (→P. 303)


■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. 165)


■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. 160) ●When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s


seat belt, follow the instructions on P. 109 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.

CAUTION


Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident. Failing 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. ●When using the rear outside seat belts, make sure that the belt pass


through the guide.

CAUTION


■Pregnant women


Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way. (→P. 109) 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. 109)


113


1-4. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)


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. 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 SRS warning light will come on. In that case, the seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced at your Toyota dealer.


■Adjustable shoulder anchor


Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of your shoulder. The belt should be kept away from your neck, but not falling off your shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce the amount of protection in an accident and cause death or serious injuries in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident. (→P. 110)


114


1-4. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)


CAUTION


■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 your Toyota dealer.


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


involved in a serious accident, even if there’s 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.


115


1-4. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)


CAUTION


■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 an accident.


●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.

1-8. Safety information


Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed based on the US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The airbag sensor assembly (ECU) controls airbag deployment based on infor- mation obtained from the sensors etc. shown in the system compo- nents diagram above. This information includes crash severity and occupant information. As the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with nontoxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occupants.


■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)


●Bruising and slight abrasions may result from contact with a deploying


(inflating) SRS airbag.


●A loud noise and white powder will be emitted. ●Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats, parts of the front and rear pillars, and roof side rails, may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.


●The windshield may crack. ●For Safety Connect subscribers, if the SRS airbags deploy or in the event of a severe rear-end collision, the system is designed to send an emer- gency call to the response center, notifying them of the vehicle’s location (without needing to push the “SOS” button) and an agent will attempt to speak with the occupants to ascertain the level of emergency and assis- tance required. If the occupants are unable to communicate, the agent automatically treats the call as an emergency and helps to dispatch the necessary emergency services. (→P. 388)

■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags)


●The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approxi- mately 12 - 18 mph [20 - 30 km/h] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or deform). However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher in the following situations: • If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole,


which can move or deform on impact


• If the vehicle is involved in an underride collision such as a collision in which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a truck


●Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt


pretensioners will activate.


●The SRS front airbags for the front passenger will not activate if there is no passenger sitting in the front passenger seat. However, the SRS front airbags for the front passenger may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, even if the seat is unoccupied. (→P. 154)


■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield air-


bags) The SRS side and curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to the impact force produced by an approximately 3300 lb. [1500 kg] vehicle collid- ing with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orien- tation at an approximate speed of 12 - 18 mph [20 - 30 km/h]).

1-8. Safety information


■Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other


than a collision The SRS front airbags may also deploy if a serious impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some examples are shown in the illustration.


●Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or


hard surface


●Falling into or jumping over a deep hole ●Landing hard or falling


■Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS front air-


bags) The SRS front airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle is involved in a side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed frontal collision. But, whenever a collision of any type causes sufficient forward deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front airbags may occur.


●Collision from the side ●Collision from the rear ●Vehicle rollover


145


1-8. Safety information


■Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags


(SRS side and curtain shield airbags) The SRS side and curtain shield airbags may not activate if the vehicle is subjected to a collision from the side at certain angles, or a collision to the side of the vehicle body other than the passenger compartment.


●Collision from the side to the vehicle body other than the passenger com- partment


●Collision from the side at an angle


The SRS side and curtain shield airbags do not generally inflate if the vehi- cle is involved in a frontal or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed side collision.


●Collision from the front ●Collision from the rear ●Vehicle rollover


■When to contact your Toyota dealer


In the following cases, the vehicle will require inspection and/or repair. Con- tact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. ●Any of the SRS airbags has been inflated.


●The front of the vehicle is damaged or deformed, or was involved in an acci- dent that was not severe enough to cause the SRS airbags to inflate.


146


1-8. Safety information


●A portion of a door is damaged or deformed, or the vehicle was involved in an accident that was not severe enough to cause the SRS side and cur- tain shield airbags to inflate.


●The pad section of the steering wheel, dashboard near the front passenger air- bag or lower portion of the driver’s side instrument panel is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged.


●The surface of the seats with the side airbag is scratched, cracked, or other- wise damaged.


●The portion of the front pillars, rear pil- lars or roof side rail garnishes (padding) containing the curtain shield airbags inside is scratched, cracked, or other- wise damaged.

■SRS airbag precautions


Observe the following precautions regarding the SRS airbags. Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury. ●The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts


properly. The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts. ●The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) advises: Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75 mm) of inflation, placing yourself 10 in. (250 mm) from your driver airbag pro- vides you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured from the center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than 10 in. (250 mm) away now, you can change your driving position in several ways: • Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the


pedals comfortably.


• Slightly recline the back of the seat.


Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 10 in. (250 mm) distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward, sim- ply by reclining the back of the seat somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to see the road, raise yourself by using a firm, non-slippery cushion, or raise the seat if your vehicle has that feature. • If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the air-


bag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.


The seat should be adjusted as recommended by NHTSA above, while still maintaining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instrument panel controls.

■SRS airbag precautions


1-8. Safety information


●If the seat belt extender has been con- nected to the front seat belt buckles but the seat belt extender has not also been fastened to the latch plate of the seat belt, the SRS front airbags will judge that the driver and front passen- ger are wearing the seat belt even though the seat belt has not been con- nected. In this case, the SRS front air- bags may not activate correctly in a collision, resulting in death or serious injury in the event of a collision. Be sure to wear the seat belt with the seat belt extender.


●The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or serious injury especially if the front passenger is very close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far from the air- bag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits upright.


●Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or seriously injured by a deploying airbag. An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint sys- tem. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats are safer for infants and children than the front passenger seat. (→P. 160)


149


●Do not sit on the edge of the seat or


lean against the dashboard.


●Do not allow a child to stand in front of the SRS front passenger airbag unit or sit on the knees of a front passenger.


●Do not allow the front seat occupants to


hold items on their knees.


●Do not lean against the door, the roof side rail or the front, side and rear pil- lars.


●Do not allow anyone to kneel on the passenger seat toward the door or put their head or hands outside the vehicle.

●Do not attach anything to or lean any- thing against areas such as the dash- board, steering wheel pad and lower portion of the instrument panel. These items can become projectiles when the SRS driver, front passenger and knee airbags deploy.


●Do not attach anything to areas such as a door, windshield glass, side door glass, front or rear pillar, roof side rail, and assist grip.


●Do not hang coat hangers or hard objects on the coat hooks. All of these items could become projectiles and may cause death or serious injury, should the SRS curtain shield airbags deploy.


●If a vinyl cover is put on the area where the SRS knee airbags will deploy,


be sure to remove it.


151


1-8. Safety information


CAUTION


■SRS airbag precautions


●Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side airbags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the airbags. Such accessories may prevent the side airbags from activating correctly, disable the system or cause the side airbags to inflate accidentally, resulting in death or serious injury.


●Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS air-


bag components. Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.


●Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS air-


bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.


●If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbags have deployed, open a door or window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to do so. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation.


●If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel pad and front and rear pillar garnishes, are damaged or cracked, have them replaced by your Toyota dealer.


●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 SRS front airbags for the front passenger may not deploy in the event of a collision.
