Position the shoulder belt so that it does not contact your neck or slide
off your shoulderG

WARNING
Do not recline the seatback exces-
sively while driving.
If the seatback is reclined excessively,
the seat belt will be completely inef-
fectual as an occupant protection
device in the case of sudden braking
or a collision. Also, in the event of a
collision, the lap belt may slide past
the hips and apply restraint forces
directly to the abdomen, or your neck
may contact the shoulder belt,
increasing the risk of death or serious
injury.
WARNING
Make sure that all passengers wear
their seat belt correctly.
Use of seat belts may be mandatory
under local laws and regulations. If a
seat belt is not worn properly, an
occupant may contact interior parts or
be thrown from the vehicle in the case
of sudden braking or a collision, pos-
sibly resulting in death or serious
injury. Also, if an occupant has an
incorrect riding posture, the airbags
will be ineffectual as occupant protec-
tion devices and may actually cause
injuries when they deploy.
WARNING
Correct use of the seat belts when
pregnant:
Pregnant women must wear a seat
belt. Consult your physician for advice
on correct way to wear a seat belt.
Position the lap belt as low as possi-
ble over the hips and the shoulder
belt completely over the shoulder,
passing the center of the chest, so
that the seat belt does not apply any
pressure to the abdomen.

When using a child restraint system
on the front passenger seat, make
sure that the front and side airbags
on the passenger side are deacti-
vated. Front passenger airbags can
only be deactivated with the key
switch for front passenger airbags,
see page 188.Appropriate child restraint systems
for every age and weight class are
available from any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Please comply with the operating
and safety instructions provided by
the child restraint system manufac-
turer when selecting, attaching and
using child restraint systems.
WARNING
Children less than 150 cm, 5 ft in
height cannot wear the seat belt cor-
rectly without using additional child
restraint systems. The protective
function of the seat belts may be lim-
ited or may even fail completely if the
seat belts are worn incorrectly. If a
seat belt is not worn correctly, addi-
tional injuries can be caused, for
example in the event of an accident or
braking and evasive manoeuvres.
There is a danger of injury or even
death. Children smaller than 150 cm,
5 ft in height must be secured in suita-
ble child restraint systems.

Please note the following warning
because your vehicle has been
equipped with a front airbag for the
front passenger seat that cannot be
deactivated:Before fitting a child restraint on the
front passenger seat, make sure
that the front and side airbags on
the passenger side are disabled.
Deactivating the front passenger
airbags with key switch, see page

WARNING
If child restraint systems and their
attachment systems have been dam-
aged or subjected to stresses in an
accident, their protective function may
be limited or may fail completely. A
child might not be adequately
restrained, for example in the event of
an accident or braking and evasive
manoeuvres. There is a danger of
injury or even death. If child restraint
systems and their attachment sys-
tems have been damaged or sub-
jected to stresses in an accident,
have them checked by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer and
renewed if necessary.
WARNING
If the seat adjustment or child seat
installation is incorrect, the child
restraint system may have limited sta-
bility or may not be stable at all. There
is a danger of injury or even death.
Make sure the child restraint system
is firmly positioned against the back-
rest. Wherever possible, adapt the
backrest angle of all the relevant seat
backrests and adjust the seats cor-
rectly. Make sure that the seats and
their backrests are correctly engaged
or locked.
For Australia/New Zealand:
Installation of child restraints
It is recommended not to
use any kind of child
restraint system on the
front passenger seat.
WARNING
Do not use a rearward-facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an
airbag in front of it.

Active front passenger airbags can

Supra Owner's Manual3-1. CONTROLS
Follow the information on the front
passenger sun visor.
NEVER use a rearward facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it,
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to
the CHILD can occur.
Except for ASEAN countries, South
Africa, Australia and New Zealand
without ISOFIX lower anchorage
and airbag manual on-off switch:
Before installing a universal child
restraint system, move the front
passenger seat as far back as it will
go and adjust it to the upper most
position. This seat position and
height achieves the best possible routing of the belt and protection in
the event of an accident.
If the upper attachment point of the
seat belt is located ahead of the
child seat's belt guide, carefully
move the front passenger seat for-
wards until the best possible belt
guidance is achieved.
With adjustable backrest width:
before fitting a child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat,
fully open the backrest width. Do
not change the backrest width from
this point on and do not call up a
memory position.
Note for Australia: ISOFIX child
seats are not permitted for road use
in Australia at the time of printing.
However, also since a change of
the respective regulations is also
expected in the future, lower
ISOFIX anchorages are supplied in
line with applicable ADRs also for
Australia.
Please comply with the operating
and safety instructions provided by
the child restraint system manufac-
turer when selecting, attaching and
using ISOFIX child restraint sys-
tems. Rearward-facing child restraints
WARNING
Active front passenger airbags can
fatally injure a child in a rearward-fac-
ing child restraint system if they are
triggered. There is a danger of injury
or even death. Make sure that the

vated and the PASSENGER AIRBAG
OFF indicator lamp is illuminated.
