that your arms bend slightly at 
the elbow when gripping the

Vehicles without SRS side and curtain shield airbags 
The pretensioners help the seat 
belts to quickly restrain the occu- 
pants by retracting the seat belts 
when the vehicle is subjected to 
certain types of severe frontal col- 
lision.
The pretensioners do not activate 
in the event of a minor frontal 
impact, a side impact, a rear
impact or a vehicle rollover.
Vehicles with SRS side and curtain shield airbags 
The pretensioners help the seat belts to quickly restrain the occupants 
by retracting the seat belts when the vehicle is subjected to certain 
types of severe frontal or side collision.
The pretensioners do not activate in t he event of a minor frontal impact, a 
minor side impact, a rear impact or a vehicle rollover.
■ Emergency locking retractor (ELR) (3-point type seat belt) 
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.  
■ Child seat belt usage 
The seat belts of your vehicle were principally designed for persons of adult 
size.  
● Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child 
becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt. (  P.  6 5 ) 
● When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat 
belt, follow the instructions regarding seat belt usage. ( P. 40) 
■ Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated (if 
equipped) 
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 collisions. 
■ Seat belt regulations 
If seat belt regulations exist in the country where you reside, please contact 
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable 
repairer for seat belt repl acement or installation.

WARNING
■When children are in the vehicle 
 P.  8 3 
■ Seat belt pretensioners (if equipped) 
If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will come on. In that 
case, the seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced at any 
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable 
repairer. 
■ Adjustable shoulder anchor (if equipped) 
Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of your 
shoulder. The belt should be kept away from your neck, but not falling off 
your shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce the amount of protection in an 
accident and cause death or serious injuries in the event of a sudden stop,
sudden swerve or accident. ( P. 41) 
■ 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 
belts cannot protect an occupant from death or serious injury. 
● Ensure that the belt and plate are locked and the belt is not twisted. 
If the seat belt does not function correctly, immediately contact any autho- 
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
● 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 any authorized 
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. Inap-
propriate handling may lead to incorrect operation.

Riding with children
●It is recommended that children sit in the rear seats (if equipped) to 
avoid accidental contact with the shift lever, wiper switch etc. 
● Use the rear door child-protector lock (double-cab models only) or 
the window lock switch (vehicles with power windows) to avoid chil- 
dren opening the door while driving or operating the power window 
accidentally. 
● Do not let small children operate equipment which may catch or 
pinch body parts, such as the power window (if equipped), hood,
tailgate (if equipped), seats etc.
Observe the following precautions when children are in the vehi-
cle. 
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the 
child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat
belt.
WARNING
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to 
have or use the key. 
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral. 
There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with
the windows or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or 
extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

If your child restraint system 
is not equipped with a lock- 
off (a seat belt locking fea- 
ture), secure the child 
restraint system using a lock- 
ing clip. 
After installing the child restraint system, rock it back and forth to 
ensure that it is installed securely. ( P.  8 3 )
◆Removing a child restraint system installed with a seat belt 
Press the buckle release button and fully retract the seat belt.
When releasing the buckle, the chil d restraint system may spring up due 
to the rebound of the seat cushion. Release the buckle while holding
down the child restraint system. 
Since the seat belt automatically reels itself, slowly return it to the stow- 
ing position.
■ When installing a child restraint system 
You may need a locking clip to install the child restraint system. Follow the 
instructions provided by the manufacturer of the system. If your child restraint 
system does not provide a locking clip, you can purchase the following item 
from any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer: Locking clip for child restraint system  
(Part No. 73119-22010) 
■ When removing the head restraint to install a child restraint system 
After removing the child restraint system, make sure to reinstall the head 
restraint.

WARNING
■When installing a child restraint system 
Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury. 
● Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes 
twisted around a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious inju-
ries that could result in death. If this occurs and the buckle cannot be 
unfastened, scissors should be used to cut the belt. 
● Ensure that the belt and plate are securely locked and the seat belt is not 
twisted. 
● Shake the child restraint system left and right, and forward and backward 
to ensure that it has been securely installed. 
● After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat. 
● When a junior seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is 
positioned across the center of the child’s shoulder. The belt should be
kept away from the child’s neck, but not so that it could fall off the child’s 
shoulder. 
● Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system 
manufacturer.

Key of letters inserted in the above table: 
X: Not suitable seat position for ISOFIX child restraint systems in 
this mass group and/or size class. 
IUF: Suitable for ISOFIX forward-facing child restraint systems of “uni- 
versal” category approved for use in this mass group. 
IL: Suitable for ISOFIX child restraint systems of the categories for 
“specific vehicles”, “restricted”, or “semi-universal” approved for 
use in this mass group.
*: If the head restraint interferes with your child restraint system, and the 
head restraint can be removed, remove the head restraint. Otherwise, put
the head restraint in the upper most position.
When securing some types of child restraint systems in rear seat, it 
may not be possible to properly use the seat belts in positions next to 
the child restraint without interfering with it or affecting seat belt effec- 
tiveness. Be sure your seat belt fits snugly across your shoulder and 
low on your hips. If it does not, or if it interferes with the child restraint, 
move to a different position. Failure to do so may result in death or 
serious injury. 
The child restraint systems mentioned in the table may not be avail- 
able outside the EU area.  
● When installing a child restraint in the rear seats, adjust the front 
seat so that it does not interfere with the child or child restraint sys- 
tem. 
● When using a “TOYOTA MINI” or “TOYOTA MIDI”, adjust the sup- 
port leg and ISOFIX connectors as follows: 
Lock the ISOFIX connectors 
where number 3 can be 
seen. 
Lock the support leg where 6 
holes can be seen.
