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


Slide the belt past the slot of the guide.


The elastic cord must be behind the seat belt.


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 or a vehicle rollover.


The pretensioner may not acti- vate in the event of a minor frontal impact, a side impact or a rear impact.


73


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. 133)


■Pregnant women


Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way. (P. 69) 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.

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


seat belt, follow the instructions on P. 69 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 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, 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.


75


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.


■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 unfas- tened, scissors should be used to cut the belt.


■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. 70)


■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.


■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.


76


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


CAUTION


■Seat belt damage and wear


●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.


■When using the third center seat belt


Do not use the third center seat belt with 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 comfort guide (third center seat)


●Make sure the belt is not twisted and that it lies flat. The elastic cord must


be behind the belt and the guide must be on the front.


●To reduce the chance of injury in case of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident while driving, remove and store the comfort guide in its pocket when it is not in use.


●Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of the shoulder. The belt should be kept away from the neck, and should not slide off the shoulder. Failure to observe these precautions could reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt in an accident, causing death or serious injury.


77


1-3. 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.

1-7. Safety information


CAUTION


■While driving


●Do not adjust the position of the driver’s seat while driving.


Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.


●Do not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seatback. A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint, increasing the risk of death or serious injury to the driver or passenger.


●Do not place anything under the front seats except for putting them in the


auxiliary box. Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the seat tracks and stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an acci- dent. The adjustment mechanism may also be damaged.


■Adjusting the seat position


●Do not recline the seat more than necessary when the vehicle is in motion,


to reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt. If the seat is too reclined during an accident, 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.


●Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passen-


gers are not injured by the moving seat.


●Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid


injury. Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.


111


1-7. Safety information SRS airbags


The SRS airbags inflate when the vehicle is subjected to certain types of severe impacts that may cause significant injury to the occupants. They work together with the seat belts to help reduce the risk of death or serious injury.


SRS front airbags SRS driver airbag/front passenger airbag Can help protect the head and chest of the driver and front pas- senger from impact with interior components. SRS knee airbags Can help provide driver and front passenger protection. SRS side and curtain shield airbags SRS side airbags Can help protect the torso of the front seat occupants. SRS curtain shield airbags ● Can help protect primarily the head of occupants in the outer


seats.


● Can prevent the occupants from being thrown from the vehi-


cle in the event of vehicle rollover.

1-7. 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 non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occupants.


■SRS warning light


This warning light system monitors the airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sensors, side and curtain shield airbag sensor assemblies, curtain shield air- bag sensor assemblies, driver’s seat position sensor, driver’s seat belt buckle switch, front passenger occupant classification system (ECU and sensors), AIR BAG ON and AIR BAG OFF indicator lights, front passenger’s seat belt buckle switch, front seat belt pretensioner assemblies, airbags, interconnecting wiring and power sources. (P. 470)


■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)


●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may be sustained from SRS air- bags, due to the extremely high speed deployment (inflation) by hot gases.


●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, and parts of the front and rear pillars and roof side rail, may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.


●The front windshield may crack.

1-7. Safety information


■Operating conditions (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 if the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which can move or deform on impact, or if the vehicle is involved in an underride collision (e.g. a collision in which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under the bed of a truck, etc.).


●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. 124)


■Operating conditions (side airbags & curtain shield airbags)


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


■Operating conditions (curtain shield airbags)


The SRS curtain shield airbags are designed to inflate when the passenger compartment is subjected to a severe impact from the side or vehicle roll- over. Depending on the conditions and type of accident, there are times when the curtain shield airbags may deploy (inflate) in a front impact.


115


1-7. 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 vehicle falling


The SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy under the situation shown in the illustration.


●The angle of vehicle tip-up is marginal. ●The vehicle skids and hits a curb stone.


■Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbag (front airbags) The SRS front airbags are generally not designed to 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 suffi- cient forward deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front air- bags may occur.


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


116


1-7. Safety information


■Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbag


(side airbags and curtain shield airbags) The SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag system may not activate if the vehicle is subjected to a collision from the side at certain angles, or a colli- sion 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 airbags are not generally designed to inflate if the vehicle 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


The SRS curtain shield airbags are not generally designed to inflate if the vehicle is involved in a rear collision, if it pitches end over end, or if it is involved in a low-speed side collision.


●Collision from the front* ●Collision from the rear ●Pitching end over end *: Depending on the conditions and type of accident, the curtain shield airbags may deploy frontal impact.

■When to contact your Toyota dealer


In the following cases, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. ●Any of the SRS airbags have 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.


●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 airbags and curtain shield airbags to inflate.


●The pad section of the steering wheel, dashboard near the front passenger air- bag or lower portion of the instrument panel is scratched, cracked, or other- wise 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 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 now sit less than 10
in. (250 mm) away, 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 and steering wheel, and your view of the instrument panel controls.


119


1-7. Safety information


CAUTION


■SRS airbag precautions


●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 the safest for infants and children. (P. 129)


120


1-7. Safety information


CAUTION


■SRS airbag precautions


●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 drive the vehicle while the driver or passenger has items resting 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.


121


1-7. Safety information


CAUTION


■SRS airbag precautions


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


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


●Do not hang coat hangers or other hard objects on the coat hooks. All of these items could become projectiles and seriously injure or kill you, should the SRS curtain shield airbag deploy.


●Do not attach any heavy, sharp or hard objects such as keys or accessories to the key. The objects may restrict the SRS knee airbag inflation or be thrust into the driver’s seat area by the force of the deploying airbag, thus causing a danger.


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


deploy, be sure to remove it.


●Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side


airbags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the SRS airbags.


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


bag components (P. 113). 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.


122


1-7. Safety information


CAUTION


■SRS airbag precautions


●If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbag has 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.


■Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components


Do not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modifications without consulting your Toyota dealer. The SRS airbags may malfunction or deploy (inflate) accidentally, causing death or serious injury. ●Installation, removal, disassembly and repair of the SRS airbags. ●Repairs, modifications, removal or replacement of the steering wheel, instrument panel, dashboard, seats or seat upholstery, front, side and rear pillars or roof side rails.


●Repairs or modifications of the front fender, front bumper, or side of the


occupant compartment.


●Installation of a grille guard (bull bars, kangaroo bar, etc.), snow plows,


winches or roof luggage carrier.


●Modifications to the vehicle’s suspension system. ●Installation of electronic devices such as mobile two-way radios or CD


players.


●Modifications to your vehicle for a person with a physical disability.
