This chapter describes all standard,
country-specific and special equip-
ment available for the model series.
It may therefore describe equip-
ment and functions which are not
installed in your vehicle, for exam-
ple on account of the optional
equipment selected or the country
specification. This also applies to
safety-relevant functions and sys-
tems. Please comply with the rele-
vant laws and regulations when
using the corresponding functions
and systems.
A seating position that suitably
reflects the requirements of the
occupants is essential for relaxed
driving with minimum fatigue.
In an accident, the correct seating
position plays an important role.
Comply with the notes in the follow-
ing chapters:
• Seats, see page 95.
• Seat belts, see page 98.
• Head restraints, see page 103.
• Airbags, see page 179.

Safety notes
WARNING
Adjusting the seat during a journey
could cause the seat to move unex-
pectedly. You could lose control of the
vehicle. There is a danger of acci-
dents. Only adjust the seat on the
driver's side when at a standstill.
WARNING
If the backrest is angled back too far,
the protective effect of the seat belt
will no longer be guaranteed. There is
a danger of sliding under the seat belt
in the event of an accident. There is a
danger of injury or even death. Adjust
the seat before starting the journey.
Adjust the backrest to the most
upright position possible, and do not
change it during the journey.
WARNING
There is a risk of entrapment when
the seats are being moved. There is a
danger of injury or damage to prop-
erty. Before making any adjustment,
make sure that the area of movement
of the seat is clear.

pants, the vehicle is equipped with
two seat belts. However, they can
only provide effective protection
when worn correctly.
Before a journey, always make sure
that all occupants have fastened
their seat belts. The airbags sup-
plement the seat belts as an addi-
tional safety device. The airbags
are not a substitute for the seat
belts.
The belt anchorage is suitable for
adults of any stature if the seat is
adjusted correctly.General
Safety notes
WARNING
Never restrain more than one person
with each seat belt, otherwise the pro-
tective effect of the seat belt is no
longer guaranteed. There is a danger
of injury or even death. Only restrain
one person with each seat belt. Do
not allow infants and children to travel
on the lap of another occupant.
Instead, secure the infant or child in a
child restraint system intended for this
purpose.
WARNING
The protective function of the seat
belts may be limited or may even fail
completely if the seat belts are worn
incorrectly. If a seat belt is not worn
correctly, additional 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. Make sure that
all vehicle occupants have fastened
their seat belts correctly.
WARNING
Seat belts are designed to bear upon
the body's skeleton and should be
worn low across the front of the pel-
vis, or lie against pelvis, chest and
shoulders, as applicable. Do not route
the lap section of the belt across the
abdomen.
In order to provide the protection for
which they have been designed, the
seat belts should be adjusted to fit as
snugly as possible without being
uncomfortable. A slack belt will
greatly reduce the protection afforded
to the wearer.
Do not allow the seat belt webbing to
come into contact with polishes, oils
and chemicals and particularly battery
acid. It may be safely cleaned with a
mild soap water solution. Replace the
seat belt if the webbing becomes
frayed, contaminated or damaged.
Seat belts should not be worn with
seat belt straps twisted. Each seat
belt assembly must only be used by
one occupant; carrying infants and
children on the occupant's lap is not
permitted.
It is essential to replace the entire belt
assembly if it was being worn by a
vehicle occupant when a severe
impact occurred, even if damage to
the assembly is not obvious.

100
Supra Owner's Manual3-1. CONTROLS
• Insert the seat belt into the belt
guide.
• Place the seat belt tightly over
the pelvis and shoulder, close to
the body and without twisting.
• Make sure that the seat belt is
positioned low at the hip in the
area of the pelvis. The seat belt
must not press on the abdomen.
• The seat belt must not be rubbed on sharp edges, be routed over
solid or breakable objects or be
trapped.
• Avoid bulky clothing.
• Keep the seat belt taut by occa-
sionally pulling upwards on the
upper section.
Having a correct driving posture is
essential for safe driving. Maintain-
ing a correct driving posture not
only helps reduce fatigue while
driving, but helps ensure that the
occupant protection devices, such
as the seat belts and airbags, will
operate correctly in a collision,
reducing the impact to the occu-
pants.
WARNING
No modifications or additions should
be made by the user that will either
prevent the seat belt adjusting
devices from operating to remove
slack, or prevent the seat belt assem-
bly from being adjusted to remove
slack.
WARNING
The protective function of the seat
belts may be limited or may even fail
completely in the following situations:
• The seat belts or belt buckles are
damaged, dirty or have been modi-
fied in another way.
• Belt tensioners or belt retractors
have been modified.
Seat belts can be damaged in an
accident without the damage neces-
sarily being apparent. There is a dan-
ger of injury or even death. Do not
modify seat belts, belt buckles, belt
tensioners, belt retractors and belt
anchor points and ensure that they
are kept clean. After an accident,
have the seat belts inspected at any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.

Supra Owner's Manual3-1. CONTROLS
Sit so your entire back is in contact with the seatback
Position the shoulder belt so that it does not contact your neck or slide
off your shoulderG
H
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.
