381-1. For safe use
WARNING
■When children are in the vehicle
Do  not  allow  children  to  play  with  the  seat  belt.  If  the  seat  belt  becomes
twisted around a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other  serious injuries
that could result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors sh ould be used
to cut the belt.
■ Seat belt pretensioners
● Do  not  place  anything,  such  as  a  cushion,  on  the  front  passenger’s  seat.
Doing so will disperse the passenger’s weight, which prevents t he sensor
from  detecting  the  passenger’s  weight  properly. As  a  result,  th e  seat  belt
pretensioner for the front passenger’s seat may not activate in the event of
a collision.
● If  the  pretensioner  has  activated,  the  SRS  warning  light  will  c ome  on.  In
that  case,  the  seat  belt  cannot  be  used  again  and  must  be  replaced  at
your Toyota dealer.
■ 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 an accident. ( P. 35)
■ 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  of  the  pretensioner  may  prevent  it  from  operating
properly, resulting in death or serious injury.

Safety information for children
●Double Cab and CrewMax models:  It is recommended that children
sit  in  the  rear  seats  to  avoid  accidental  contact  with  the  shif t  lever,
wiper lever, etc.
● Use  the  rear  door  child-protector  lock  or  the  window lock switch (if
equipped) to avoid children opening the door while driving or oper-
ating the power window accidentally.
● Do  not  let  small  children  operate  equipment  which  may  catch  or
pinch body parts, such as the power window, hood, tailgate, sea ts,
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 windows, the moon roof or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat
build-up  or  extremely  cold  temperatures  inside  the  vehicle  can  be  fatal  to
children.
