CAUTION
When the seatback is folded
Do not sit on or place anything on the seatback while driving.
When returning the seats to their original position
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
Be careful not to get your hands or feet pinched in the seat.
Make sure the seatbacks and bottom cushions are securely locked. Fail−
ure to do so will prevent the
seat belt from operating properly.
Check that the seat belts are not twisted or caught under the seat.
Arrange the seat belts in the proper positions for ready use.
When removing or reinstalling the bottom cushion
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
Do not get in the vehicle with the bottom cushions uninstalled.
Do not leave the removed bottom cushion unsecured in the vehicle.
Do not try to sit on or place anything on the removed bottom cushion.
Do not drop the bottom cushion.
Have the hexagon head bolts tightened with a torque wrench to 12.5 ft⋅lbf
(17 N⋅m, 1.7 kgf⋅m), or have them tightened by your Toyota dealer.
Failure to do so may cause the dials to be loosened and the bottom cush−
ions to be removed.

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.
Seat belt extender
CAUTION
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.
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.
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.
If your seat belts cannot be fastened
securely because they are not long
enough, a personalized seat belt
extender is available from your Toyota
dealer free of charge.

Before driving
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.
