Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

321-1. For safe use
Make sure that all occupants are
wearing their seat belts before driv-
ing the vehicle. ( P. 3 3 )
Use a child restraint system appro-
priate for the child until the child
becomes large enough to properly
wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
( P. 4 8 )
Make sure that you can see back-
ward clearly by adjusting the inside

WA R N I N G
●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
seatback.
A cushion may prevent correct pos-
ture from being achieved, and reduce the effectiveness of the seat
belt and head restraint.
●Do not place anything under the
front seats.
Objects placed under 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.

WA R N I N G
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 may 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 than one person at
once, including children.
●Toyota recommends that children
be seated in the rear seat and
always use a seat 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. 3 4 )
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 could 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. 3 4 )
■When children are in the vehicle

■Seat belt damage and wear
●Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to
be jammed in the door.

it comes fully over the shoulder,

seatback. Sit up straight and well
back in the seat.

ate for the child, until the child

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
pretensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple colli- sions, the pretensioner will activate for
the first collision, but will not activate for
the second or subsequent collisions.

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

in an accident and cause death or
serious injuries in the event of a sud-
den stop, sudden sw erve or accident.
