261-1. For safe use
Make sure that all occupants are 
wearing their seat belts before 
driving the vehicle. (P.27)
Use a child restraint system 
appropriate for the child until the  child becomes large enough to 
properly wear the vehicle’s seat 
belt. (
P.47)
Make sure that you can see 
backward clearly by adjusting 
the inside and outside rear view 
mirrors properly. ( P.114, 115)
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.

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 8 )
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 8 )
■When children are in the vehi-
cle
P. 5 5
■Seat belt damage and wear
●Do not damage the seat belts 
by allowing the belt, plate, or 
buckle to be jammed in the 
door. 

281-1. For safe use
Extend the shoulder belt so 
that it comes fully over the 
shoulder, but does not come 
into contact with the neck or 
slide off the shoulder. 
Position the lap belt as low as 
possible over the hips.
 Adjust the position of the 
seatback. Sit up straight and 
well back in the seat.
 Do not twist the seat belt.
■Child seat belt usage
The seat belts of your vehicle were 
principally designed for persons of 
adult size.
●Use a child restraint system 
appropriate for the child, until the 
child becomes large enough to 
properly wear the vehicle’s seat 
belt. ( P. 4 7 )
●When the child becomes large 
enough to properl y wear the vehi-
cle’s seat belt, follow the instruc-
tions regarding seat belt usage. 
(  P. 2 7 )
■Seat belt extender
If your seat belts cannot be fastened 
securely because they are not long 
enough, a personalized seat belt 
extender is available from your Toy-
ota dealer free of charge.
WARNING
●Inspect the seat belt system 
periodically. Check for cuts, 
fraying, and loose parts. Do not 
use a damaged sea t belt until it 
is replaced. Damaged seat belts 
cannot protect an occupant 
from death or serious injury.
●Ensure that the belt and plate 
are locked and the belt is not 
twisted.
If the seat belt does not function 
correctly, immediately contact 
your Toyota dealer.
●Replace the seat assembly, 
including the belts, if your vehi-
cle has been involved in a seri-
ous accident, even if there is no 
obvious damage.
●Do not attempt to install, 
remove, modify, disassemble or 
dispose of the seat belts. Have 
any necessary repairs carried 
out by your Toyota dealer. Inap-
propriate handling may lead to 
incorrect operation.
Correct use of the seat 
belts
WARNING
■Using a seat belt extender
●Do not wear the seat belt 
extender if you can fasten the 
seat belt without the extender.

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. A slow, easy motion will 
allow the belt to extend so that you 
can move around fully.
■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 7 )
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.
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.

WARNING
●If the seat belt extender has 
been connected to the front 
seat belt buckles but the seat 
belt extender has not also been 
fastened to the latch plate of the 
seat belt, the SRS front airbags 
will judge that the driver and 
front passenger are wearing the 
seat belt even though the seat 
belt has not been connected. In 
this case, the SRS front airbags 
may not activate correctly in a 
collision, resulting in death or 
serious injury in the event of a 
collision. Be sure to wear the 
seat belt with the seat belt 
extender.
●The SRS front passenger air-
bag also deploys with consider-
able force, and can cause death 
or serious injury especially if the 
front passenger is  very close to 
the airbag. The front passenger 
seat should be as far from the 
airbag as possible with the seat-
back adjusted, so the front pas-
senger sits upright.
●Improperly seated and/or 
restrained infants and children 
can be killed or seriously injured 
by a deploying airbag. An infant 
or child who is too small to use 
a seat belt should be properly 
secured using a child restraint 
system. Toyota strongly recom-
mends that all infants and chil-
dren be placed in the rear seats 
of the vehicle and properly 
restrained. The rear seats are 
safer for infants and children 
than the front passenger seat. 
(
P. 4 7 )
●Do not sit on the edge of the 
seat or lean against the dash-
board.
●Do not allow a child to stand in 
front of the SRS front passenger 
airbag unit or sit on the knees of 
a front passenger.
●Do not allow the front seat occu-
pants to hold items on their 
knees.
