■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. 116)

event that a pretensioner is activated, both the driver’s and front passen-

dealer. When replacing seat belt retractor assemblies for the front seat-
ing positions, use only genuine Toyota parts equipped with a force limiter.
● If either front seat belt does not retract or cannot be pulled out due to a
malfunction or activation of the pretensioner, contact your Toyota dealer
as soon as possible.
● If the front seat belt retractor assembly or surrounding area has been
damaged, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
● When you sell your vehicle, we urge you to explain to the buyer that it
has seat belt pretensioners by alerting the buyer to the contents of this
section.
■ Replacing the belt after the pr etensioner 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.
