341-1. For safe use
PRIUS_OM_OM47E09U_(U)
WARNING
■Adjustable shoulder anchor
Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the cen ter of your
shoulder.  The  belt  should  be  kept  away  from  your  neck,  but  not  falling  off
your shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce the amount of prot ection in an
accident and cause death or serious injuries in the event of a  sudden stop,
sudden swerve or accident. ( P. 31)
■ Seat belt damage and wear
● Do  not  damage  the  seat  belts  by  allowing  the  belt,  plate,  or  bu ckle  to  be
jammed in the door.
● Inspect the seat belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fray ing, and loose
parts.  Do  not  use  a  damaged  seat  belt  until  it  is  replaced.  Dam aged  seat
belts cannot protect an occupant from death or serious injury.
● Ensure that the belt and plate are locked and the belt is not twisted.
If the seat belt does not function correctly, immediately conta ct your Toyota
dealer.
● Replace  the  seat  assembly,  including  the  belts,  if  your  vehicle  has  been
involved in a serious accident, even if there is no obvious dam age.
● Do  not  attempt  to  install,  remove,  modify,  disassemble  or  dispo se  of  the
seat belts. Have any necessary repairs carried out by your Toyota dealer.
Inappropriate handling may lead to incorrect operation.
■ Using a seat belt extender
● Do  not  wear  the  seat  belt  extender  if  you  can  fasten  the  seat  belt  without
the extender.
● Do  not  use  the  seat  belt  extender  when  installing  a  child  restr aint  system
because the belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, increas-
ing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an acci dent.
● The  personalized  extender  may  not  be  safe  on  another  vehicle,  when
used  by  another  person,  or  at  a  different  seating  position  othe r  than  the
one originally intended.
NOTICE
■ When using a seat belt extender
When  releasing  the  seat  belt,  press  on  the  buckle  release  butto n  on  the
extender, not on the seat belt.
This helps prevent damage to the vehicle interior and the extender itself.

For safety and security
Riding with children
●It  is  recommended  that  children  sit  in  the  rear  seats  to  avoid  acci-
dental contact wit h the shift lever, wiper switch etc.
● Use  the  rear  door  child-protector  lock  or  the  window  lock  switc h  to
avoid  children  opening  the  door  while  driving  or  operating  the
power window accidentally. ( P. 188, 218)
● Do  not  let  small  children  operate  equipment  which  may  catch  or
pinch  body  parts,  such  as  the  power  window,  hood,  back  door,
seats etc.
Observe the following precautions when children are in the vehi -
cle.
Use  a  child  restraint  system  app ropriate  for  the  child,  until  the
child becomes  large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat
belt.
WARNING
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow  children to
have or use the key.
Children  may  be  able  to  start  the  vehicle  or  shift  the  vehicle  into  neutral.
There is also a  danger that  children  may  injure  themselves  by p laying with
the side windows, the moon roof (if equipped) or other features  of the vehi-
cle.  In  addition,  heat  build-up  or  extremely  cold  temperatures  inside  the
vehicle can be fatal to children.
