Seat belts
Make sure that all occupants
are wearing their seat belts
before driving the vehicle.
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 2 )
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 2 )
■When children are in the vehicle
P. 6 1
■Seat belt damage and wear
●Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to
be jammed in the door.

321-1. For safe use
Extend the shoulder belt so that
it comes fully over the shoulder,
but does not come into contact
with the neck or slide off the
shoulder.
 Position the lap belt as low as
possible over the hips.
 Adjust the position of the
seatback. Sit up straight and well
back in the seat.
 Do not twist the seat belt.
■Child seat belt usage
The seat belts of your vehicle were prin- cipally designed for persons of adult
size.
●Use a child restraint system appropri-
ate for the child, until the child
becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt. ( P. 4 7 )
●When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s
seat belt, follow the instructions
regarding seat belt usage. ( P. 3 1 )
■Seat belt regulations
If seat belt regulations exist in the coun-
try where you reside, please contact any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer for seat belt replacement or
installation.
1 To fasten the seat belt, push the
plate into the buckle until a click
sound is heard.
2 To release the seat belt, press
WA R N I N G
●Inspect the seat belt system period-
ically. Check for cuts, fraying, 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 contact any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
●Replace the seat assembly, includ-
ing the belts, if your vehicle has
been involved in a serious accident, even if there is no obvious damage.
●Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of
the seat belts. Ha ve any necessary
repairs carried out by any author- ized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer. Inappropriate handling may lead to incorrect operation.

■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. A
slow, easy motion will allow the belt to extend so that you can move around
fully.
■After using the rear center seat belt
Stow seat belt buckle in the pocket.
■Rear seat belt
Use the seat belt after passing it through the guide if the seat belt comes free
from the guide.

■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 sw erve or accident.
Seat belt pretensioners
(front seats and outboard
rear seats*)

341-1. For safe use
Vehicles without front side
airbags
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 colli-
sion.
The pretensioners do not activate in the
event of a minor frontal impact, a side
impact, a rear impact or a vehicle
rollover.
Vehicles with front side airbags
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.
WA R N I N G
■Seat belt pretensioners
If the pretensioner has activated, the
SRS warning light will come on. In that case, the seat belt cannot be
used again and must be replaced at
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.

■Location of the SRS airbags
SRS front airbags
SRS driver airbag/front passenger airbag
Can help protect the head and chest of th e driver and front passenger from impact
with interior components
SRS knee airbag (if equipped)
Can help provide driver protection
SRS side and curtain shield airbags
SRS front side airbags (if equipped)
Can help protect the torso of the front seat occupants
SRS curtain shield airbags (if equipped)
SRS airbags
The SRS airbags inflate when the vehicle is subjected to certain
types of severe impacts that may cause significant injury to the
occupants. They work together with the seat belts to help reduce the
risk of death or serious injury.

The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The SRS
airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. As the airbags
deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with
non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occupants.
■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc.,

For safety and security
may be sustained from SRS airbags,
due to the extremely high speed deployment (inflation) by hot gases.
●A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.
●Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator)
as well as the front seats, parts of the
front and rear pillars, and roof side rails, may be hot for several minutes.
The airbag itself may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●The brakes and stop lights will be con- trolled automatically. ( P.316)
●The interior lights will turn on automat- ically. ( P.395)
●The emergency flashers will turned on automatically. ( P.462)
●Fuel supply to the engine will be stopped. ( P.470)
●Vehicles with eCall: If any of the fol-
lowing situations occur, the system is
designed to send an emergency call*
to the eCall control center, notifying
them of the vehicle’s location (without needing to push the “SOS” button)
and an agent will attempt to speak
with the occupants to ascertain the level of emergency and assistance
required. If the occupants are unable
to communicate, the agent automati- cally treats the call as an emergency
and helps to dispatch the necessary
emergency services. ( P. 6 4 ) • An SRS airbag is deployed.
• A seat belt pretensioner is activated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe rear-end collision.*: In some cases, the call cannot be
made. ( P. 6 5 )
■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds
the set threshold le vel (the level of
force corresponding to an approxi- mately 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph]
frontal collision with a fixed wall that
does not move or deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be
considerably higher in the following situ-
ations: • If the vehicle strikes an object, such
as a parked vehicle or sign pole,
which can move or deform on impact • If the vehicle is involved in an
underride collision, such as a collision
in which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed
of a truck
●Depending on the type of collision, it is
possible that only the seat belt
pretensioners will activate.
■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield
airbags [if equipped])
●The SRS side and curtain shield
airbags will deploy in the event of an
impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding
to the impact force produced by an
approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehi- cle colliding with the vehicle cabin
from a direction perpendicular to the
vehicle orientation at an approximate speed of 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph]).
●Vehicles with an SRS driver’s knee airbag: Both SRS curtain shield
airbags may deploy in the event of a
severe side collision.
●Both SRS curtain shield airbags may
also deploy in the event of a severe frontal collision.
■Conditions under which the SRS
airbags may deploy (inflate), other
than a collision
The SRS front airbags and SRS side
and curtain shield airbags may also
deploy if a serious impact occurs to the
underside of your vehicle. Some exam- ples are shown in the illustration.
●Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard surface
●Falling into or jumping over a deep hole
●Landing hard or falling

381-1. For safe use
■Types of collisions that may not
deploy the SRS airbags (SRS front airbags)
The SRS front airbags do not generally
inflate if the vehicle is involved in a side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is
involved in a low-speed frontal collision.
But, whenever a collision of any type causes sufficient forward deceleration of
the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front
airbags may occur.
●Collision from the side
●Collision from the rear
●Vehicle rollover
■Types of collisions that may not
deploy the SRS airbags (SRS side and curtain shield airbags [if
equipped])
The SRS side and curtain shield airbags may not activate if the vehicle is sub-
jected to a collision from the side at cer-
tain angles, or a collision to the side of the vehicle body other than the passen-
ger compartment.
●Collision from the side to the vehicle
body other than the passenger com-
partment
●Collision from the side at an angle
The SRS side airbags do not generally
inflate if the vehicle is involved in a fron- tal or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it
is involved in a low-speed side collision.
●Collision from the front
●Collision from the rear
●Vehicle rollover
The SRS curtain shield airbags do not
generally inflate if the vehicle is involved
in a rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed side or
low-speed frontal collision.
●Collision from the rear
●Vehicle rollover
