341-1. For safe use
Make sure that all occupants are
wearing their seat belts before driv-
ing the vehicle. ( P.36)
Use a child restraint system appro-
priate for the child until the child
becomes large enough to properly
wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
( P.50)
Make sure that you can see back-
ward clearly by adjusting the inside
rear view mirror (if equipped), Digi-
tal Rear-view Mirror (if equipped)
and outside rear view mirrors prop-
erly. ( P.267, 268, 277)
WARNING
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may 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 seat-back. A cushion may prevent cor-
rect 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 distances, take regular breaks before you start
to feel tired. Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while driving, do not force yourself to con-
tinue driving and take a break immediately.

Seat belts
Make sure that all occupants
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 properly.
●Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt for more than one person at
once, including children.
●Toyota recommends that children
be seated in the rear seat and always use a seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.
●To achieve a proper seating posi-tion, 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.36)
Women who are pregnant should position the lap belt as low as possi-ble over the hips in the same manner
as other occupants, extending the shoulder belt completely over the shoulder and avoiding belt contact
with the rounding of the abdominal area.
If the seat belt is not worn properly,
not only the pregnant woman, but also the fetus could suffer death or serious injury as a result of sudden
braking or a collision.
■People suffering illness
Obtain medical advice and wear the
seat belt in the proper way. ( P.36)
■When children are in the vehicle
 P.63
■Seat belt damage and wear
●Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be jammed in the door.

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.
1 Push 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.
The pretensioners help the seat
belts to quickly restrain the occu-
pants by retracting the seat belts
when the vehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe frontal or
side collision.
The pretensioners do not activate in the
event of a minor frontal impact, a minor
side impact, a rear impact or a vehicle
rollover.
■Replacing the belt after the preten- sioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple colli-
sions, the pretensioner will activate for the first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent collisions.

WARNING
■Adjustable shoulder anchor
Always make sure the shoulder belt is
positioned across the center of your shoulder. The belt should be kept away from your neck, but not falling
off your shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce the amount of protection in an accident and cause death or
serious injuries in the event of a sud- den stop, sudden swerve or accident.
