CAUTION
 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.
 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.
 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.

72 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.
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
 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.
