241-1. For safe use
Make sure that all occupants are 
wearing their seat belts before 
driving the vehicle. (P.25)
Use a child restraint system 
appropriate for the child until the 
child becomes large enough to 
properly wear the vehicle’s seat 
belt. ( P.43)
Make sure that you can see 
backward clearly by adjusting 
the inside and outside rear view 
mirrors properly. ( P.129, 130)
WARNING
■For safe driving
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so m ay result in 
death or serious injury.
●Do not adjust the position of the 
driver’s seat while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver 
to lose control of the vehicle.
●Do not place a cushion between 
the driver or passenger and the 
seatback.
A cushion may prevent correct 
posture from being achieved, 
and reduce the effectiveness of 
the seat belt and  head restraint.
●Do not place anything under the 
front seats.
Objects placed under the front 
seats may become jammed in 
the seat tracks and stop the 
seat from locking in place. This 
may lead to an accident and the 
adjustment mechanism may 
also be damaged.
●Always observe the legal speed 
limit when driving on public 
roads.
●When driving over long dis-
tances, take regular breaks 
before you start to feel tired.
Also, if you feel tired or sleepy 
while driving, do not force your-
self to continue driving and take 
a break immediately.
●Take care when adjusting the 
seat position to ensure that 
other passengers are not 
injured by the moving seat.
●When adjusting the seat posi-
tion, do not put your hands 
under the seat or near the mov-
ing parts to avoid injury. Fingers 
or hands may become jammed 
in the seat mechanism.

For safety and security
Seat belts
Make sure that all occu-
pants are wearing their seat 
belts before driving the 
vehicle.
WARNING
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 prop-
erly.
●Each seat belt should be used 
by one person only. Do not use 
a seat belt for more than one 
person at once, including chil-
dren.
●Toyota recommends that chil-
dren be seated in the rear seat 
and always use a seat belt 
and/or an appropriate child 
restraint system.
●To achieve a proper seating 
position, 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. 2 6 )
Women who are pregnant should 
position the lap  belt as low as 
possible over the hips in the same 
manner as other occupants, 
extending the shoulder belt com-
pletely over the shoulder and 
avoiding belt contact with the 
rounding of the abdominal area.
If the seat belt is not worn prop-
erly, not only the pregnant 
woman, but also the fetus could 
suffer death or serious injury as a 
result of sudden braking or a colli-
sion.
■People suffering illness
Obtain medical advice and wear 
the seat belt in the proper way. 
(
P. 2 6 )
■When children are in the vehi-
cle
P. 5 6
■Seat belt damage and wear
●Do not damage the seat belts 
by allowing the belt, plate, or 
buckle to be jammed in the 
door. 

271-1. For safe use

For safety and security
1To fasten the seat belt, push 
the plate into the buckle until 
a click sound is heard.
2 To release the seat belt, 
press the release button  .
■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. When the seat belt locks, 
pull the belt strongly and then 
release the belt, then a slow and 
easy pulling will allow the belt to 
extend.
■Automatic locking retractor 
(ALR)
When a passenger’s shoulder belt is 
completely extended and then 
retracted even slightly, the belt is 
locked in that position and cannot 
be extended. This feature is used to 
hold the child restraint system 
(CRS) firmly. To free the belt again, 
fully retract the belt and then pull the 
belt out once more. ( P. 4 3 )
■After using the rear center seat 
belt
Stow seat belt buckle in the pocket.
WARNING
●Do not use the seat belt 
extender when installing a child 
restraint system because the 
belt will not securely hold the 
child restraint system, increas-
ing the risk of  death or serious 
injury in the event of an acci-
dent.
●The personalized extender may 
not be safe on another vehicle, 
when used by another person, 
or at a different seating position 
other than the one originally 
intended.
NOTICE
■When using a seat belt 
extender
When releasing the seat belt, 
press on the buckle release but-
ton on the extender, not on the 
seat belt.
This helps prevent damage to the 
vehicle interior and the extender 
itself.
Fastening and releasing 
the seat belt
Adjusting the seat belt 
shoulder anchor height 
(front seats) 

281-1. For safe use
1Push the seat belt shoulder 
anchor down while pressing 
the release button  .
2 Push the seat belt shoulder 
anchor up while pressing the 
release button  .
Move the height adjuster up and 
down as needed until you hear a 
click.
When the vehicle is subjected to 
a severe frontal or side impact 
or rollover, the pretensioners 
retract the seat belts of the front 
seats and rear outer seats to 
securely restrain the occupants.
The pretensioners will not operate 
in minor frontal or side impacts, or 
rear impacts.
■Replacing the belt after the pre-
tensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is in volved in multiple 
collisions, the pretensioner will acti-
vate for the first collision, but will not 
activate for the second or subse- quent collisions.
■PCS-linked control
If the PCS (Pre-Collision System) 
determines that the possibility of a 
collision with a vehi cle is high, the 
seat belt pretensioners will be pre-
pared to operate.
WARNING
■Adjustable shoulder anchor
Always make sure the shoulder 
belt is positioned across the cen-
ter of your shoulder. The belt 
should be kept away from your 
neck, but not falling off your shoul-
der. Failure to do so could reduce 
the amount of protection in an 
accident and cause death or seri-
ous injuries in the event of a sud-
den stop, sudden swerve or 
accident.
Seat belt pretensioners 
(front and outboard rear 
seats)
WARNING
■Seat belt pretensioners
Observe the following precautions 
to reduce the risk of injury in the 
event of sudden braking or an 
accident. Failure to do so may 
result in death or serious injury.
●Do not place anything, such as 
a cushion, on the front passen-
ger’s seat. Doing so will 
disperse the passenger’s 
weight, which prevents the sen-
sor from detecting the passen-
ger’s weight properly. As a 
result, the seat belt pretensioner 
for the front passenger’s seat 
may not operate in the event of 
a collision.
●If a pretensioner has operated, 
the SRS warning light will illumi-
nate. In this situation, the seat 
belt cannot be used and must 
be replaced by your Toyota 
dealer.
