Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel) 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. n 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. n 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. 98) 53 1-3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel) n Pregnant women Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way. (→P. 48) 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. n People suffering illness Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way. n Child seat belt usage The seat belts of your vehicle were principally designed for persons of adult size. l Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child become large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat belt. (→P. 94) l When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat belt, follow the instructions on P. 48 regarding seat belt usage. n Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated The seat belts cannot be used after a pretensioner has been activated. After an accident, have the pretensioners inspected by your Toyota dealer. Make sure the pretensioners are replaced if they have been activated. 54 1-3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel) n 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. they are not CAUTION n Wearing a seat belt 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. l Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt. l Always wear a seat belt properly. l 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. l Toyota recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and always use a seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system. l 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. l Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm. l Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips. n 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. 55 1-3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel) CAUTION n Seat belt damage and wear l 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. l 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. l Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been involved in a serious accident, even if there is no obvious damage. l 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. n When using the rear center seat belt Do not use the rear 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. n Using a seat belt comfort guide l 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. l To reduce the chance of injury in case of an accident or a sudden stop while driving, remove and store the comfort guide in its pocket when it is not in use. 56 1 1-3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel) CAUTION n Using a seat belt comfort guide l 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 fall off the shoulder. Failure to observe these precautions could reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt in an accident, causing death or serious injury. n Using a seat belt extender l Do not wear the seat belt extender, if you can fasten the seat belt without the extender. l 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. l 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 n 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. 57 1-3.

Theft deterrent system Theft prevention labels (except Canada) Drive in a good posture as follows: These labels are attached to the vehicle to reduce vehicle theft by facilitating the tracing and recovery of parts from sto- len vehicles. Do not remove under penalty of law. 74 1-7. Safety information Correct driving posture Drive in a good posture as follows: and to Sit upright and well back in the seat. (→P. 37) Adjust the position of the seat forward or backward to ensure the pedals can be easily reached depressed the extent required. (→P. 37) Adjust the seatback so that the controls are easily oper- able. Adjust the tilt positions of the steering wheel down- ward so the airbag is facing your chest. (→P. 58) Lock the head restraint in place with the center of the head restraint closest to the top of your ears. (→P. 45) Wear the seat belt correctly. (→P. 48) 75 1-7. Safety information CAUTION n While driving l Do not adjust the position of the driver's seat while driving. Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. l 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. l Do not place anything under the front seats. 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. n Adjusting the seat position l Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passen- gers are not injured by the moving seat. l 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. 76 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. Front airbags Driver airbag/front passenger airbag Can help protect the head and chest of the driver and front pas- senger from impact with interior components. Side and curtain shield airbags Side airbags (if equipped) Can help protect the torso of the front seat occupants. Curtain shield airbags (if equipped) Can help protect primarily the head of outside occupants. 77 1-7.

Safety information Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed based on US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The airbag sys- tem controls airbag deployment power for the driver and front pas- senger. The driver airbag system consists of the driver seat’s position sensor etc. The front passenger’s airbag system consists of the front passenger occupant classification sensor etc. The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The SRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. The airbag sensor assembly consists of a safing sensor and an airbag sensor. In certain types of severe frontal or side impacts, the SRS airbag sys- tem triggers the airbag inflators. A chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occupants. n SRS warning light This warning light system monitors the airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sensors, side and curtain shield airbag sensors, curtain shield airbag sen- sors, driver’s seat position sensor, driver’s seat belt buckle switch, front pas- senger occupant classification system, AIR BAG ON indicator light, AIR BAG OFF indicator light, front passenger’s seat belt buckle switch, seat belt pretensioner assemblies, interconnecting wiring and power sources. (→P. 301) inflators, n If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate) l Bruising and slight abrasions may result from contact with a deploying (inflating) SRS airbag. l A loud noise and white powder will be emitted. l Vehicles with side and curtain shield airbags: 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. l Vehicles without side and curtain shield airbags: Parts of the airbag mod- ule (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot. 79 1-7. Safety information n If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate) l The front windshield may crack. n Operating conditions (front airbags)
