■Emergency locking retractor
(ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during
a sudden stop or on impact. It may
also lock if you lean forward too
quickly. When the seat belt locks,
pull the belt str ongly and then
release the belt, then a slow and
easy pulling will allow the belt to
extend.
■Automatic locking retractor
(ALR)
When a passenger’s shoulder belt is
completely extended and then
retracted even slightly, the belt is
locked in that position and cannot
be extended. This feature is used to
hold a child restraint system (CRS)
firmly. To free the belt again, fully
retract the belt and then pull the belt
out once more. ( P. 6 3 )
When fastening a front seat belt,
ensure that it is passed through
the seat belt guide. Passing the
seat belt through the guide
enables the seat belt to be eas-
ily extended.
When you get into or out of the rear
seats, release the seat belt from the
seat belt guide.
The pretensioners help the seat
belts to quickly restrain the
occupants by retracting the seat
belts when the vehicle is sub-
jected to certain types of severe
frontal collision or a vehicle roll-
over.
The front seat belt pretensioners
also activate when the vehicle is
subjected to certain types of severe
side collision.
The pretensioners do not activate
in the event of a minor frontal
impact, a minor s ide impact or a
rear impact.

AWARNING
■When using the seat belt
guide
●Always make sure that the belt
is not twisted, and runs freely
through the guide.
●Regardless of whether the
guide is used or not, always
secure the seat belt guide but-
ton.
●Do not hang fr om or pull the

Seat belt pretensioners
(front seats)

261-1. For safe use
■Replacing the belt after the pre-
tensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is in volved in multiple
collisions, the pretensioner will acti-
vate for the first collision, but will not
activate for the second or subse-
quent collisions.
WARNING
■Seat belt pretensioners
●Do not place anything, such as
a cushion, on the front passen-
ger’s seat. Doing so will
disperse the passenger’s
weight, which prevents the sen-
sor from detecting the passen-
ger’s weight properly. As a
result, the seat belt pretensioner
for the front passenger’s seat
may not activate in the event of
a collision.
●If the pretensioner has acti-
vated, the SRS warning light will
come on. In that case, the seat
belt cannot be used again and
must be replaced at your Toyota
dealer.

WARNING
■General Precautions regard-
ing SRS Airbag System and
Children
●Place children in the rear seat
properly restrained at all times.
The SRS airbag deploys with
considerable speed and force
and can injure or even kill chil-
dren, especially if they are not
restrained or improperly
restrained. Because children
are lighter and weaker than
adults, their risk of being injured
from deployment is greater.
For that reason, we strongly
recommend that ALL children
(including those in child restraint
systems) sit in the REAR seat
properly restrained at all times
in a child restraint device or in a
seatbelt, whichever is appropri-
ate for the child’s age, height
and weight.
Secure ALL types of child
restraint systems (including for-
ward facing child restraint sys-
tem) in the REAR seats at all
times.
According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating
positions than in the front seat-
ing positions.
For instructions and precautions
concerning the child restraint
system, refer to P.63.
●NEVER INSTALL A CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM IN THE
FRONT SEAT. DOING SO
RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH TO THE CHILD BY
PLACING THE CHILD’S HEAD
TOO CLOSE TO THE SRS
AIRBAG.
●Never allow a child to stand up
or kneel on the front passen-
ger’s seat. The SRS airbag
deploys with considerable force
and can injure o r even kill the
child.
●Never hold a child on your lap or
in your arms. The SRS airbag
deploys with considerable force
and can injure o r even kill the
child.
●Never allow a child to do the fol-
lowing.
• Kneel on any passenger’s seat facing the side window

■If the passenger’s frontal airbag
OFF indicator illuminates and
the ON indicator turns off even
when the front passenger’s seat
is occupied by an adult
This can be caused by the adult
incorrectly sittin g in the front pas-
senger’s seat.
1 Turn the engine switch off.
2 Ask the front passenger to set
the seatback to the upright posi-
tion, sit up straight in the center
of the seat cushion, correctly fas-
ten the seatbelt, position his/her
legs out forward, and adjust the
seat to the rearmost position.
3 Turn the engine switch to ON.
If the OFF indicat or remains illumi-
nated while the ON indicator
remains off, take the following
actions.
1 Turn the engine switch off.
2 Make sure that the front passen-
ger does not use a blanket, extra
seat cushion, sea t cover, extra
seat heater or massager, etc.
3 If wearing excess ive layers of
clothing, the front passenger
should remove any unnecessary
items before sitting in the front
passenger’s seat, or should sit in
a rear seat.
4 Turn the engine switch to ON
and wait 6 seconds to allow the
system to complete self-check-
ing. Following the system check,
both indicators turn off for 2 sec-
onds. Now, the ON indicator
should illuminate while the OFF
indicator remains off.
If the OFF indicator still remains illu-
minated while the ON indicator
remains off, ask the occupant to
move to the rear seat and immedi-
ately contact your Toyota dealer for
an inspection.■If the seatbelt buckle switch
and/or front passenger’s occu-
pant detection system have
failed
If the seatbelt buckle switch and/or
front passenger’s occupant detec-
tion system have failed, the SRS
warning light will illuminate. Have
the system inspected by your Toyota
dealer immediately if the SRS warn-
ing light illuminates.
■If the front passenger’s seat
cushion is wet
If the front passenger’s seat cushion
is wet, this may adversely affect the
ability of the syst em to determine
deployment. Wipe off liquid from the
seat, let the seat dry naturally and
then check the SRS warning light.
If the front passeng er’s frontal air-
bag ON and OFF indicators do not
work properly even when the front
passenger’s seat is dry, do not allow
anyone to sit on the front passen-
ger’s seat and hav e the occupant
detection system checked by your
Toyota dealer.
Also, if luggage or electronic
devices are placed on the front pas-
senger’s seat, this may adversely
affect the ability of the system to
determine deployment. This may
prevent the front passenger’s frontal
airbag ON and OFF indicators from
working properly. Check that the
indicators work properly.
When the OFF indicator turns off
and the ON indicato r illuminates, the
front passenger’s frontal airbag may
deploy during a collision. Remove
luggage and electronic devices from
the front passenger’s seat.
■When to contact your Toyota
dealer
If your vehicle has sustained impact,
this may affect the proper function of
the Toyota advanced frontal airbag
system. Have your vehicle
inspected at your Toyota dealer. Do
not use the front passenger’s seat
while driving the vehicle to your Toy-

WARNING
■When using a child restraint
system
NEVER INSTALL A CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM IN THE
FRONT PASSENGER’S SEAT
EVEN IF THE FRONT PASSEN-
GER’S SRS FRONTAL AIRBAG
IS DEACTIVATED. Be sure to
install it in the REAR seat in a cor-
rect manner. Also, it is strongly
recommended that any forward
facing child seat o r booster seat
be installed in the REAR seat, and
that even children who have out-
grown a child restraint system be
also seated in the REAR seat.
This is because children sitting in
the front passenger’s seat may be
killed or severely injured should
the front passenger’s SRS frontal
airbag deploy. REAR seats are
the safest place for children.
■General Precautions regard-
ing front passenger’s SRS
frontal airbag
When the front passenger's seat
is occupied by an adult, observe
the following precautions. Failure
to do so may lessen the load on
the front passenger 's seat, deacti-
vating the front passenger's SRS
frontal airbag despite the fact that
the seat is occupied by an adult.
This may result in personal injury.
●Do not allow the rear seat occu-
pant to lift the front passenger's
seat cushion using his/her feet.
●Do not place any article under
the front passenger's seat, or
squeeze any article from behind
and under the seat.
●Do not squeeze any article
between the front passenger's
seat and side trim /pillar, door or
center console box. This may lift
the seat cushion.
■When a small adu lt is seated
in the front passenger’s seat
When a small adult is seated in
the front passenger’s seat, the
Toyota advanced frontal airbag
system may or may not activate
the front passenger’s SRS frontal
airbag depending on the occu-
pant’s seating posture. If the OFF
indicator rema ins illuminated
while the ON indicator turns off
when a small adult is seated in
the front passenger's seat, refer to
P.43.
■General Precautions regard-
ing occupant detection sys-
tem
Do not kick the front passenger
seat or subject it to severe impact.
Otherwise, the SRS warning light
may illuminate to indicate a mal-
function of the front passenger
occupant detection system. In this
case, contact your Toyota dealer
immediately.
■After deployment
Do not touch the SRS airbag sys-
tem components around the
steering wheel and dashboard
with bare hands right after deploy-
ment. Doing so can cause burns
because the components can be
very hot as a result of deploy-
ment.
