The vehicle is fitted with two
safety belts to ensure occupant
safety. However, they can only
offer protection when adjusted
correctly.
Always make sure that safety
belts are being worn by the
occupants before driving off.
The airbags supplement the
safety belts as an additional
safety device. The airbags are
not a substitute for safety belts.
All belt fastening points are
designed to achieve the best
possible protective effect of the
safety belts with proper use of
the safety belts and correct seat
setting. Notes on sitting safely,
refer to page P.96.Adjusting
• Press the front section
of the button: The back-

Safety belts
General information
Safety information
WARNING
Use of a safety belt to buckle
more than one person will poten-
tially defeat the ability of the
safety belt to serve its protective
function. There is a risk of injuries
or danger to life. Do not allow
more than one person to wear a
single safety belt. Infants and chil-
dren are not allowed on an occu-
pant's lap, but must be
transported and secured in desig-
nated child restraint systems.
WARNING
The efficacy of safety gear, includ-
ing safety belts, can be limited or
lost when safety belts are fas-
tened incorrectly. An incorrectly
fastened safety belt can cause
additional injuries, for instance in
the event of an accident or during
braking and evasive maneuvers.
There is a risk of injuries or dan-
ger to life. Make sure that all
occupants are wearing safety
belts correctly.
WARNING
The efficacy of safety gear, includ-
ing safety belts, may not be fully
functional or fail in the following
situations:
• The safety belts or safety belt buckles are damaged, soiled, or
changed in any other way.
• Belt tensioners or belt retractors were modified.

• Wear the safety belt twist-free and tight to your body over
your lap and shoulders.
• Wear the safety belt deep on your hips over your lap. The
safety belt may not press on
your stomach.
• Do not rub the safety belt against sharp edges, or guide
it or jam it in across hard or
fragile objects.
• Avoid thick clothing.
• Re-tighten the safety belt fre- quently upward around your
upper body.
Having a correct driving posture
is essential for safe driving. Maintaining a correct driving
posture not only helps reduce
fatigue while driving, but helps
ensure that the occupant protec-
tion devices, such as the seat
belts and airbags, will operate
correctly in a collision, reducing
the impact to the occupants.
The most basic occupant pro-
tection device is the seat belt.
The airbags are designed to
supplement the seat belts, not
be used in place of them. Wear-
ing the seat belt correctly
ensures that the occupants are
securely held in the seats and
helps prevent them from con-
tacting interior parts or being
thrown from the vehicle in a col-
lision. Therefore, it is necessary
for all occupants to wear their
seat belt. If a seat belt is worn
improperly, its effectiveness as
an occupant protection device
will be severely reduced. Pay
attention to the following to
ensure the correct driving pos-
ture and use of the seat belts.
WARNING
Safety belts can be imperceptibly
damaged in the event of an acci-
dent. There is a risk of injuries or
danger to life. Do not modify
safety belts, safety belt buckles,
belt tensioners, belt retractors or
belt anchors and keep them
clean. Have the safety belts
checked after an accident at the
your Toyota dealer.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of sliding under
the lap belt during a collision, do
not recline the seat more than
necessary. If the seat is too
reclined, the lap belt may slide
past the hips and apply restraint
forces directly to the abdomen, or
your neck may contact the shoul-
der belt, increasing the risk of
death or serious injury in the
event of an accident. Adjustments
should not be ma de while driving
as the seat may unexpectedly
move and cause the driver to lose
control of the vehicle.
WARNING
Make sure that all passengers
wear their seat belt correctly.
Use of seat belts may be manda-
tory under local laws and regula-
tions. If a seat belt is not worn
properly, an occupant may con-
tact interior parts or be thrown
from the vehicle in the case of
sudden braking or a collision, pos-
sibly resulting in death or serious
injury. Also, if an occupant has an
incorrect riding posture, the air-
bags will be ineffectual as occu-
pant protection devices and may
actually cause injuries when they
deploy.
WARNING
Correct use of the seat belts when
pregnant:
Pregnant women must wear a
seat belt. Consult your physician
for advice on correct way to wear
a seat belt. Position the lap belt as
low as possible over the hips and
the shoulder belt completely over
the shoulder, passing the center
of the chest, so that the seat belt
does not apply any pressure to
the abdomen.
