Adjust the seat as needed (driver ’s seat
only) and sit up straight and well back
in the seat. To fasten your belt, pull it
out of the retractor and insert the tab
into the buckle.
You will hear a click when the tab locks
into the buckle.
The seat belt length automatically adjusts
to your size and the seat position.
The retractor will lock the belt during a
sudden stop or on impact. It also may
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A
slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend, and you can move around freely.
If the seat belt cannot be pulled out of the
retractor, firmly pull the belt and release
it. You will then be able to smoothly pull
the belt out of the retractor.
CAUTION
DAfter inserting the tab, make sure
the tab and buckle are locked and
the belt is not twisted.
DDo not insert coins, clips, etc. in
the buckle as this may prevent you
from properly latching the tab and
buckle.
DIf the seat belt does not function
normally, immediately contact any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and
equipped professional. Do not use
the seat until the seat belt is fixed,
because it cannot protect an adult
occupant or your child from death
or serious injury.

The driver ’s seat belt pretensioner is
designed to be activated in response to
a severe frontal impact.
When the airbag sensor detects the shock
of a severe frontal impact, the driver ’s
seat belt is quickly drawn back in by the
retractor so that the belt snugly restrains
the driver.
Collisionsoccurring at certain speeds and
angles may cause the seat belt preten-
sioner and SRS airbag not to operate all
together.This indicator comes on when the en-
gine switch is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion. It goes off after about 6 seconds.
This means the driver ’s seat belt pre-
tensioner is operating properly.
This warning light system monitors the
airbag sensor assembly, airbag sensor,
driver ’s seat belt pretensioner assembly,
inflator, interconnecting wiring and power
sources. (For details, see “Service remind-
er indicators and warning buzzer” on page
73 in Section 1−5.)

The driver ’s seat belt pretensionersystem
mainly consists of the following compo-
nents and their locations are shown in the
illustration.
1. SRS warning light
2. Airbag sensor
3. Driver ’s seat belt pretensioner assem-
bly
4. Airbag sensor assembly
The driver ’s seat belt pretensioner is con-
trolled by the airbag sensor assembly. The
airbag sensor assembly consists of a saf-
ing sensor and airbag sensor.
When the driver ’s seat belt pretensioner is
activated, an operating noise may be
heard and a small amount of smoke−like
gas may be released. This gas is harm-
less and does not indicate that a fire is
occurring.
Once the driver ’s seat belt pretensioner
has been activated, the seat belt retractor
remains locked.
If the vehicle is involved in multiple colli-
sions, the pretensioner will activate for the
first collision, but will not activate for the
second or subsequent collisions.
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of injury in the event
of sudden braking or an accident.
Failure to do so may cause death or
serious injury.
DIf the pretensioner has activated,
the SRS warning light will come on.
In that case, the seat belt cannot
be used again and must be re-
placed at any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
DDo not modify, remove, strike or
open the seat belt pretensioner as-
semblies, airbag sensor or sur-
rounding area or wiring. Consult
any authorized Toyota dealer or re-
pairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional about any re-
pair and modification.
