Seat beltsE00404802089
To protect you and your passengers in the event of an accident, it is most important thatthe seat belts are worn correctly while driv-ing.
The front seat belts each have a pretensioner system. (Single cab and Club cab)
The front seat belts and the rear outer seat belts each have a pretensioner system. (Dou-
ble cab)
These belts are used the same way as a con- ventional seat belt.
Refer to “Seat belt pretensioner system and force limiter system*” on page 4-10.WARNINGl Seat belts should always be worn by every
adult who drives or rides in this vehicle,
and by all children who are tall enough to wear seat belts properly.
Other children should always use proper child restraint systems.
l Always place the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never put
it behind you or under your arm.
l One seat belt should be used by only one
person. Doing otherwise can be danger-
ous.WARNINGl The seat belt will provide its wearer with
maximum protection if the recliner seat-
back is placed in fully upright position.
When the seatback is reclined, there is greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the belt, especially in a forward im-
pact accident, and may be injured by the
belt or by striking the instrument panel or seatbacks.
l Remove any twists when using the belt.
l No modifications or additions should be
made by the user which will either pre- vent the seat belt adjusting devices fromoperating to remove slack, or prevent the
seat belt assembly from being adjusted to
remove slack.
l Never hold a child in your arms or on
your lap when riding in this vehicle, even if you are wearing your seat belt. To do so
risks severe or fatal injury to the child in
a collision or sudden stop.
l Always adjust the seat belt to a snug fit.
l Always wear the lap portion of the belt
over your hips.3-point type seat belt (with
emergency locking mechanism)
E00404902888

hicles equipped with SRS side airbags and SRS curtain airbags) severe enough to injure
the driver and/or front passenger or when a rollover or overturning of the vehicle is de-
tected (if so equipped), the pretensioner sys- tem will retract the respective seat belts in-
stantaneously, thus maximizing the seat belt’s effectiveness.
