authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Front seat belts

The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic pretensioning system and force limiter.This system improves safety in the front seats in the event of a front or side impact. Depending on the severity of the impact, the pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat belts against the body of the occupants.The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are enabled when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving their protection.

Advice
WARNI NG
The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly and that they are all fastened before setting off.Wherever seated in the vehicle, you must always fasten the seat belt, even for short
journeys.Do not invert the seat belt buckles, as they will not fulfil their role properly.
To ensure the proper functioning of the belt buckles, make sure that there are no foreign bodies present (e.g. a coin) before fastening.Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt is reeled in correctly.After folding or moving a seat or rear bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned and reeled in correctly.
WARNI NG
InstallationThe lower part of the strap must be positioned as low as possible over the pelvis.The upper part must be positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.In order to be effective, a seat belt must:– be tightened as close to the body as possible.– be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, ensuring that it is not twisted.– only be used to secure one person.– not show signs of tearing or fraying.– not be changed or modified, in order to avoid affecting its performance.

Airbags
General information
System designed to help improve the safety of the occupants sitting in the front seats and the rear outer seats, in the event of a violent collision. The airbags supplement the action of the seat belts equipped with a force limiting
system.Electronic detectors record and analyse the front and side impacts sustained in the impact detection zones:– In the event of violent impact, the airbags deploy instantly and help better protect the occupants of the vehicle; immediately after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly in order not to hinder the visibility or the possible exit of the occupants.– In the event of a slight impact, a rear impact and under certain rollover conditions, the airbags may not deploy; only the seat belt helps to protect you in these situations.The seriousness of the impact depends on the nature of the obstacle and the speed of the vehicle at the moment of collision.
WARNI NG
The airbags do not operate when the ignition is switched off.This equipment will only deploy once. If a second impact occurs (during the same or a subsequent accident), the airbag will not be deployed again.
Impact detection zones
A.Front impact zone
B.Side impact zone
NOTIC E
When one or more airbags are deployed, the detonation of the pyrotechnic charge incorporated in the system makes a noise and releases a small quantity of smoke.This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive individuals may experience slight irritation.The detonation noise associated with the deployment of one or more airbags may result in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbags

System that protects the driver and front passenger(s) in the event of a serious front impact, limiting the risk of head and chest injury.The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
Deployment
The airbags are deployed (except the front passenger airbag if it has been deactivated) in the event of a serious front impact to all or part of the frontal impact zone A, in the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the front towards the rear of the vehicle.The front airbag inflates between the chest and
head of the front occupant of the vehicle and the steering wheel, on the driver's side, and the dashboard, on the passenger side, to cushion their forward movement.

124
WARNI NG
In the event of a minor impact or bump at the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls over, the airbags may not be deployed.In the event of a rear or front collision, none of the lateral airbags are deployed.
Advice
WARNI NG
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the safety recommendations below.Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.Fasten your seat belt and position it correctly.Do not place anything between the occupants and the airbags (e.g. child, animal, object), do not fix or attach anything near or in the path of the airbags, as this could cause injuries when they are deployed.Never modify the original definition of the vehicle, particularly in the area directly around the airbags.Even if all of the precautions mentioned are observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to the head, chest or arms cannot be ruled out
when an airbag is deployed. The bag inflates almost instantly (within a few milliseconds) then deflates within the same time,
discharging the hot gas via openings provided for this purpose.After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen, have the airbag systems checked.All work must be carried out only by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
WARNI NG
Front airbagsDo not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre part of the wheel.Passengers must not place their feet on the dashboard.Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags can cause burns or the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.Do not fix or attach anything to the steering wheel or dashboard, as this could cause injuries when the airbags are deployed.
WARNI NG
Lateral airbagsUse only approved seat covers compatible with the deployment of these airbags. For information on the range of seat covers suitable for your vehicle, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backrests (e.g. clothing) as this could cause injuries to the chest or arm when the airbag is deployed.Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.The vehicle's front door panels include side impact sensors.A damaged door or any unauthorised or incorrectly executed work (modification or repair) on the front doors or their interior trim could compromise the operation of these sensors - risk of malfunction of the lateral airbags!All work must be carried out only by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

WARNI NG
Make sure that the seat belt is correctly positioned and tightened.For child seats with a support leg, ensure that the support leg is in firm and steady contact with the floor.
Advice
WARNI NG
An incorrectly installed child seat compromises the child's safety in the event of an accident.Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt buckle under the child seat, as this could destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the harness of child seats, keeping the slack relative to the child's body to a minimum, even for short journeys.When installing a child seat using the seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened correctly on the child seat and that it secures the child seat firmly on the seat of the vehicle. If the passenger seat is adjustable, move it
forwards if necessary.Remove the head restraint before installing a child seat with a backrest on a passenger seat.Ensure that the head restraint is stored or attached securely to prevent it from being thrown around the vehicle in the event of sharp braking. Refit the head restraint once the child seat has been removed.
WARNI NG
Installing a booster seatThe chest part of the seat belt must be positioned on the child's shoulder without touching the neck.Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt passes correctly over the child's thighs.Use a booster seat with backrest, equipped
with a belt guide at shoulder level.
