341-1. For safe use
Make sure that all occupants are
wearing their sea t belts before driv-
ing the vehicle. ( →P.36)
Use a child restraint system appro -
priate for the chil d until the child
becomes large enough to properly
wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
( →P.50)
Make sure that you can see back -
ward clearly by adjusting the inside
rear view mirror (if equipped), Digi -
tal Rear-view Mirror (if equipped)
and outside rear view mirrors prop -

WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●Do not adjust the position of the
driver’s seat while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
●Do not place a cushion between the
driver or passenger and the seat - back. A cushion may prevent cor -
rect posture from being achieved,
and reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint.
●Do not place anything under the front seats.
Objects placed und er the front
seats may become jammed in the seat tracks and stop the seat from
locking in place. This may lead to
an accident and the adjustment mechanism may also be damaged.
●Always observe the legal speed limit when driving on public roads.
●When driving over long distances, take regular breaks before you start
to feel tired.
Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while driving, do not force yourself to con -
tinue driving and take a break
immediately.

Seat belts
Make sure that all occupants
are wearing th eir seat belts
before driving the vehicle.
WARNING
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of injury in the event of
sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
Failure to do so m ay cause death or
serious injury.
■Wearing a seat belt
●Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt.
●Always wear a seat belt properly.
●Each seat belt should be used by
one person only. Do not use a seat belt for more t han one person at
once, includin g children.
●Toyota recommends that children
be seated in the rear seat and
always use a sea t belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.
●To achieve a proper seating posi - tion, do not recline the seat more
than necessary. The seat belt is
most effective when the occupants are sitting up straight and well back
in the seats.
●Do not wear the shoulder belt under
your arm.
●Always wear your seat belt low and
snug across your hips.
■Pregnant women
Obtain medical advice and wear the
seat belt in the proper way. ( →P.36)
Women who are pregnant should position the lap belt as low as possi -
ble over the hips in the same manner
as other occupants, extending the shoulder belt completely over the
shoulder and avoiding belt contact
with the rounding of the abdominal area.
If the seat belt is not worn properly,
not only the pregnant woman, but also the fetus coul d suffer death or
serious injury as a result of sudden
braking or a collision.
■People suffering illness
Obtain medical advice and wear the
seat belt in the proper way. ( →P.36)
■When children are in the vehicle
→ P.62
■Seat belt damage and wear
●Do not damage the seat belts by
allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be jammed in the door.

2 To release the seat belt, press
the release button .
■Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lo ck the belt during a
sudden stop or on impact. It may also
lock if you lean forw ard too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend so that you can move around
fully.
1 Push the seat belt shoulder
anchor down while pressing the
release button .
2 Push the seat belt shoulder
anchor up while pressing the
release button .
Move the height adjuster up and down
as needed until you hear a click.
The pretensioners help the seat
belts to quickly restrain the occu -
pants by retracting the seat belts
when the vehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe frontal or
side collision.
The pretensioners do not activate in the
event of a minor frontal impact, a minor
side impact, a rear impact or a vehicle
rollover.
■Replacing the belt after the preten- sioner has been activated
If the vehicle is invol ved in multiple colli-
sions, the pretensioner will activate for the first collision, but will not activate for
the second or subsequent collisions.

■Adjustable shoulder anchor
Always make sure the shoulder belt is
positioned across the center 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 protection
in an accident and cause death or
serious injuries in the event of a sud -
den stop, sudden swerve or accident.
