If the seatback is reclined excessively,
the seat belt will be completely inef-
fectual as an occupant protection
device in the case of sudden braking or a collision. Also, in the event of a
collision, the lap belt may slide past
the hips and apply restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck
may contact the shoulder belt,
increasing the risk of death or serious injury.
WA R N I N G
Make sure that all passengers wear
their seat belt correctly.
Use of seat belts may be mandatory
under local laws and regulations. If a
seat belt is not worn properly, an occupant may contact 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 airbags will be ineffectual as occupant protec-
tion devices and may actually cause
injuries when they deploy.
WA R N I N G
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 possi- ble 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.

When using a child restraint system
on the front passenger seat, make
sure that the front and side airbags
on the passenger side are deacti-
vated. Front passenger airbags can
only be deactivated with the key
switch for front passenger airbags,
see page 202.
Appropriate child restraint systems
for every age and weight class are
available from any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Please comply with the operating
and safety instructions provided by
the child restraint system manufac-
turer when selecting, attaching and
using child restraint systems.
WA R N I N G
Child restraint systems and their parts
can get very hot when exposed to
direct sunlight. Contact with hot parts can cause burns. There is a risk of
injury. Do not expose the child
restraint system to direct sunlight. Cover the child restraint system if
necessary. It may be necessary to
allow the child restraint system to cool
down before strapping a child in. Do not leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle.
WA R N I N G
Children under 150 cm, 5 ft tall cannot
wear the seat belt correctly without
using additional child restraint sys- tems. The protective function of the
seat belts may be limited or may even
fail completely if the seat belts are worn incorrectly. If a seat belt is not
worn correctly, additional injuries can
be caused, for example in the event of an accident or when braking or car-
rying out evasive manoeuvres. There
is a risk of injury or even death. Chil-
dren under 150 cm, 5 ft tall must be secured in suitable child restraint sys-
tems.

Safety note

Active front passenger airbags can

indicator lamp is illuminated.
WA R N I N G
Children less than 150 cm, 5 ft in height cannot wear the seat belt cor-
rectly without using additional child
restraint systems. The protective function of the seat belts may be lim-

seat belts are worn incorrectly. If a seat belt is not worn correctly, addi-
tional injuries can be caused, for
example in the event of an accident or braking and evasive manoeuvres.
There is a danger of injury or even
death. Children smaller than 150 cm,
5 ft in height must be secured in suita- ble child restraint systems.

Please note the following warning
because your vehicle has been
equipped with a front airbag for the
front passenger’s seat that cannot
be deactivated:
Before fitting a child restraint on the
front passenger seat, make sure
that the front and side airbags on
the passenger side are disabled. If
the airbag cannot be deactivated,
do not fit child restraint systems.

Safety notes
WA R N I N G
If child restraint systems and their
attachment system s have been dam- aged or subjected to stresses in an
accident, their protective function may
be limited or may fail completely. A child might not be adequately
restrained, for example in the event of
an accident, braking or evasive
manoeuvres. There is a risk of injury or even death. Child restraint systems
that are damaged or have been sub-
jected to stresses in an accident must not be used further. If attachment sys-
tems have been damaged or sub-
jected to stresses in an accident, have them checked and replaced by
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli- able repairer and renewed if neces-
sary.
WA R N I N G
If the seat is not adjusted properly or the child seat has been installed
incorrectly, the chil d restraint system
may have limited stability or may not be stable at all. There is a risk of
injury or even death. Make sure that
the child restraint system rests firmly against the backrest. Wherever possi-
ble, adapt the backrest angle of all the
relevant seat backrests and adjust the seats correctly. Make sure that the
seats and their backrests are correctly
engaged or locked. If possible, adjust the height of the head restraints, or
remove them.

It is recommended not to
