Seat Belt Pretensioner and Load Limiting
Systems
◆Pretensioners
When a collision is detected, the pretensioners deploy simultan e-
ously with the air bags.
The pretensioners deploy simult aneously with the air bags when a
roll-over is also detected.
For deployment details, refer to the SRS Air Bag Deployment Cri te-
ria ( P. 78).
The front seat belt retractors remove slack quickly as the air bags
are expanding. Any time the air bags and seat belt pretensioners
have fired they must be replaced.
A system malfunction or operation conditions are indicated by a
warning.
Refer to Warning/Indi cator Lights on P. 173.
Refer to Air Bag/Front Seat Belt Pretensioner System Warning
Beep on P. 503.
In addition, the pretensioner system for the front passenger, l ike the
front and side passenger air bag, is designed to only deploy wh en
the front passenger occupant class ification sensor detects a pas-
senger sitting on the front passenger’s seat.
For details, refer to the front passenger occupant classificati on sen-
sor ( P. 8 2 ) .
For optimum protection, the d river and front passenger seat
belts are equipped with pretensi oner and load limiting systems.
For both these systems to work properly you must wear the seat
belt properly.

Seat Belt Extender
This extender will be only for you and for the particular vehicle and
seat. Even if it plugs into other seat belts, it may not hold in the critical
moment of a crash.
When ordering an extender, only order one that provides the nec es-
sary additional length to fast en the seat belt properly.
Please contact your Toyota d ealer for more information.
When not in use, remove the seat belt extender and store it in the vehicle. If
the seat belt extender is left connected, the seat belt extender might get dam-
aged as it will not retract with the rest of the seat belt and can easily fall out of
the door when not in use and be damaged. In addition, the seat belt warning
light will not illuminate and function properly.
If your seat belt is not long enough, even when fully extended, a
seat belt extender may be available to you at no charge from
your Toyota dealer.
WARNING
■ Do not use a seat belt extender unless it is necessary
Using a seat belt extender when not necessary is dangerous. The seat belt
will be too long and not fit properly. In an accident, the seat belt will not pro-
vide adequate protection and you could be seriously injured. On ly use the
extender when it is required to fasten the seat belt properly.
■ Do not use an improper extender
Using a seat belt extender that is for another person or a diff erent vehicle or
seat is dangerous. The seat belt will not provide adequate protection and
the user could be seriously injured in an accident. Only use the extender
provided for you and for the particular vehicle and seat. NEVER use the
extender in a different vehicle or seat. If you sell your Toyot a, do not leave
your seat belt extender in the vehicle. It could be used accide ntally by the
new owner of the vehicle. After removing the seat belt extender, discard it.
Never use the seat belt extender in any other vehicle you may o wn in the
future.

1-3. Child Restraint
WARNING
■Never use a rear-facing child-restraint system in the front sea t with an
air bag that could deploy
■ Do not install a front-facing c hild-restraint system on the fro nt passen-
ger seat unless it is unavoidable
Rear-facing child-restraint systems on
the front seat are particularly dangerous
even though you may feel assured that a
front passenger air bag will not deploy
based on the fact that the front passen-
ger air bag deactivation indicator light
illuminates. The child-restraint system
can be hit by a deploying air bag and
moved violently backward resulting in
serious injury or death to the child.
Vehicles with a front passenger air bag
have a warning label attached as shown
below.
The warning label reminds you not to put
a rear-facing child-restraint system on
the front passenger seat at any time.
In a collision, the force of a deploying air
bag could cause serious injury or death
to the child. If installing a front-facing
child-restraint system on the front pas-
senger seat is unavoidable, move the
front passenger seat as far back as pos-
sible.
