Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic pretensioning system and force limiter.This system improves safety in the front seats in the event of a front or side impact. Depending on the severity of the impact, the pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat belts against the body of the occupants.The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are enabled when the ignition is on.The force limiter reduces the pressure of the seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving their protection.
The front seat belts are fitted with a single pyrotechnic pretensioning system (or double on the driver’s side, depending on equipment) and a force limiter (or progressive force limiter on the driver’s side, depending on equipment options).This system improves safety in the front seats in the event of a front or side impact.Depending on the severity of the impact, the single pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat belts against the body of the occupants.
The double pyrotechnic pretensionsining system operates the same way, except that it uses two anchor points rather than one, for enhanced effectiveness.The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are enabled when the ignition is on.The force limiter reduces the pressure of the seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving their protection.The progressive force limiter operates in the same way, except that it takes the driver’s stature into consideration, thus optimising the reduction in the pressure exerted by the seat belt on the occupant’s chest in the event of an impact.
Fastening
► Pull the strap, then insert the tongue in the buckle.► Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly by pulling the strap.
Unlocking
► Press the red button on the buckle.► Guide the seat belt as it is reeled in.

Advice
WARNI NG
The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly and that they are all fastened before setting off.Wherever seated in the vehicle, you must always fasten the seat belt, even for short journeys.Do not invert the seat belt buckles, as they will not fulfil their role properly.To ensure the proper functioning of the belt buckles, make sure that there are no foreign bodies present (e.g. a coin) before fastening.Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt is reeled in correctly.After folding or moving a seat or rear bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned and reeled in correctly.
WARNI NG
InstallationThe lower part of the strap must be positioned as low as possible over the pelvis.The upper part must be positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.At the front, adjusting the position of the seat belt may require the seat height to be adjusted.In order to be effective, a seat belt must:– be tightened as close to the body as possible.– be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, ensuring that it is not twisted.– must only be used to secure one person.– not show signs of tearing or fraying.– not be changed or modified, in order to avoid affecting its performance.
WARNI NG
Recommendations for childrenUse a suitable child seat if the passenger is less than 12 years old or shorter than 1.5 metres (4 ft 11").Never use the same seat belt to secure more than one child.Never carry a child on your lap.For more information on Child seats, refer to the corresponding section.

MaintenanceIn accordance with current safety regulations, for all work on your vehicle's seat belts, contact a qualified workshop with the skills and equipment needed, which any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer is able to provide.Have the seat belts checked regularly by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer, particularly if the straps show signs of damage.Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or a textile cleaning product, sold by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
WARNI NG
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness of impacts, the pyrotechnic pretensioner device may trigger before and independently of airbag deployment. Deployment of the pretensioners is accompanied by a slight discharge of harmless smoke and a noise, due to the activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the system.
11 4
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes on.Following an impact, have the seat belt system checked, and if necessary replaced, by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
Airbags
General information
System designed to help improve the safety of the occupants sitting in the front seats and the rear outer seats, in the event of a violent collision. The airbags supplement the action of the seat belts equipped with a force limiting system.Electronic detectors record and analyse the front and side impacts sustained in the impact detection zones:– In the event of violent impact, the airbags deploy instantly and help better protect the occupants of the vehicle; immediately after the
impact, the airbags deflate rapidly in order not to hinder the visibility or the possible exit of the occupants.– In the event of a slight impact, a rear impact and under certain rollover conditions, the airbags may not deploy; only the seat belt helps to protect you in these situations.The seriousness of the impact depends on the nature of the obstacle and the speed of the vehicle at the moment of collision.
WARNI NG
The airbags do not operate when the ignition is switched off.This equipment will only deploy once. If a second impact occurs (during the same or a subsequent accident), the airbag will not be deployed again.
Impact detection zones
A.Front impact zone
B.Side impact zone
NOTIC E
When one or more airbags are deployed, the detonation of the pyrotechnic charge
incorporated in the system makes a noise and releases a small quantity of smoke.This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive individuals may experience irritation.The detonation noise associated with the deployment of one or more airbags may result in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbags
System that protects the driver and front passenger(s) in the event of a serious front
impact, limiting the risk of head and chest injury.The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is fitted in the roof.
With the two-seat front bench seat, the passenger sitting in the centre is also protected.
