This data includes, for example:
• Status messages of the vehicle 
and its individual components, 
for example wheel rotation 
speed, wheel speed, decelera-
tion, lateral acceleration, fas-
tened seat belt indicator.
• Ambient conditions, for example 
temperature, rain sensor signals.
The data is only processed within 
the vehicle itself and is usually tran-
sient. The data is not saved after 
the vehicle is switched off.
Electronic parts, for example con-
trol devices and vehicle keys, con-
tain components for saving 
technical information. Information 
on vehicle condition, component 
load, maintenance requirements, 
events or errors can be saved tem-
porarily or permanently.
This information generally docu-
ments the condition of a compo-
nent, a module, a system or its 
environment, for example:
• Operating states of system com-
ponents, for example, fill levels, 
tyre inflation pressure, battery 
status.
• Malfunctions and faults of impor-
tant system components, for 
example, lights and brakes.
• Responses of the vehicle to par-
ticular driving situations, for 
example triggering of an airbag, 
activation of the drive stability 
control systems.
• Information on vehicle-damag-ing events.
The data is required so that the 
control units can perform their func-
tions. It is also used for detecting 
and rectifying malfunctions, and 
helps the vehicle manufacturer to 
optimise vehicle functions.
The majority of this data is transient 
and is only processed within the 
vehicle itself. Only a small propor-
tion of the data is stored in event or 
error memories in response to spe-
cific circumstances.
When service work is being carried 
out, for example repairs, service 
operations, warranty work and 
quality assurance measures, this 
technical information can be read 
out from the vehicle together with 
the vehicle identification number.
Any authorized Toyota retailer or 
Toyota authorized repairer, or any 
reliable repairer can read out the 
information. The legally required 
on-board diagnostics (OBD) socket 
in the vehicle is used to read out 
the data.
The data is collected, processed 
and used by the relevant organisa-
tions in the service network. The 
data documents the technical con-
ditions of the vehicle and helps in 
locating errors, complying with war-
ranty obligations and improving 
quality.
Furthermore, the manufacturer has 
product monitoring obligations to 
meet in line with product liability

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:

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.

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.

The most basic occupant protection 
device is the seat belt. The airbags 
are designed to supplement the 
seat belts, not be used in place of 
them. Wearing the seat belt cor-
rectly ensures that the occupants 
are securely held in the seats and 
helps prevent them from contacting 
interior parts or being thrown from the vehicle in a collision. Therefore, 
it is necessary for all occupants to 
wear their seat belt. If a seat belt is 
worn improperly, its effectiveness 
as an occupant protection device 
will be severely reduced. Pay atten-
tion to the following to ensure the 
correct driving posture and use of 
the seat belts.
Position the head restraint so that the center of it is at the same height 
as the top of your ears
Make sure that the seat belt is not twisted
Adjust the seat so that your arms bend slightly at the elbow when grip-
ping the upper part of the steering wheel
Make sure that the seat belt is snug and not loose at any point
Position the lap belt as low as possible over the hips
