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,

This chapter describes all standard,
country-specific and special equip-

It may therefore describe equip-

specification. This also applies to
safety-relevant functions and sys-

using the corresponding functions
and systems.
The technical data and specifica-
tions in the Owner's Manual are ref-
erence figures. The vehicle-specific
data can deviate from this, for
example, due to selected special
equipment, country variants or
country-specific measurement
methods. Detailed values can be
found in the permit documents, on
information plates on the vehicle or
can be requested from any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
The information in the vehicle docu-

over the information in this Owner's

Dimensions can vary depending on the model version, equipment or coun-

The heights specified do not take into account add-on parts such as a roof
aerial, roof railing or spo iler. The heights can deviate, for example, due to
selected special equipment, tyre s, loads and suspension design.
