n Release methodThe belt can be completely released when not required, such aswhen folding down the rear seat.

To release the hooked end tab,insert the vehicles key into thehole on the buckle.

Seat belt pretensioners (front seats)

The pretensioner helps the seatbelt to quickly restrain the occu-pant by retracting the seat beltwhen the vehicle is subjected tocertain types of severe frontalcollision.

The pretensioner may not acti-vate in the event of a minor frontalimpact, a side impact or a rearimpact.46


n Emergency locking retractor (ELR)The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may alsolock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt toextend so that you can move around fully.

n Automatic locking retractor (ALR)When a passengers shoulder belt is completely extended and thenretracted even slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot beextended. 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 oncemore. (P. 90)

n Pregnant women

n People suffering illnessObtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way.

Obtain medical advice and wear the seatbelt in the proper way. (P. 44)

Women who are pregnant should positionthe lap belt as low as possible over thehips in the same manner as other occu-pants. Extend the shoulder belt com-pletely over the shoulder and position thebelt across the chest. Avoid belt contactover the rounding of the abdominal area.

If the seat belt is not worn properly, notonly a pregnant woman, but also the fetuscould suffer death or serious injury as aresult of sudden braking or a collision.47


n Child seat belt usageThe seat belts of your vehicle were principally designed for persons of adultsize.

l Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the childbecome large enough to properly wear the vehicles seat belt. (P. 86)

l When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehiclesseat belt, follow the instructions on P. 44 regarding seat belt usage.

n Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activatedIf the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activatefor the first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent colli-sions.

n Seat belt extender

CAUTION

Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event ofemergency braking, sudden swerving or an accident.Failing to do so may cause death or severe injury.

n Wearing a seat beltl Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt.

l Always wear a seat belt properly.

l Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat beltfor more than one person at once, including children.

l Toyota recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and alwaysuse a seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.

l Do not recline the seat any more than necessary to achieve a proper seat-ing position. The seat belt is most effective when the occupants are sitting

If your seat belts cannot be fastenedsecurely because they are not longenough, a personalized seat beltextender is available from your Toyotadealer free of charge.48

up straight and well back in the seats.


CAUTION

n Wearing a seat beltl Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.

l Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips.

n Adjustable shoulder anchorAlways make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of yourshoulder. The belt should be kept away from your neck, but not falling offyour shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce the amount of protection in anaccident and cause death or serious injuries in the event of emergency brak-ing, sudden swerving or an accident. (P. 45)

n Seat belt pretensionersl Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passengers seat.

Doing so will disperse the passengers weight, which prevents the sensorfrom detecting the passengers weight properly. As a result, the seat beltpretensioner for the front passengers seat may not activate in the event ofa collision.

l If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will come on. Inthat case, the seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced atyour Toyota dealer.

n Seat belt damage and wearl Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be

jammed in the door.

l Inspect the seat belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and looseparts. Do not use a damaged seat belt until it is replaced. Damaged seatbelt cannot protect an occupant from death or serious injury.

l Ensure that the belt and tab are locked and the belt is not twisted.If the seat belt does not function correctly, immediately contact your Toyotadealer.

l Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has beeninvolved in a serious accident, even if there is no obvious damage.

l Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of theseat belts. Have any necessary repairs carried out by your Toyota dealer.Inappropriate handling of the pretensioner may prevent it from operating49

properly resulting in death or serious injury.


CAUTION

n Child restraint lock function belt precautionDo not allow children to play with the child restraint lock function belt. If thebelt becomes twisted around a childs neck, it will not be possible to pull thebelt out leading to choking or other serious injuries that could result in death.

If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be usedto cut the belt.

n When using the rear center seat belt

n Using a seat belt extenderl Do not wear the seat belt extender, if you can fasten the seat belt without

the extender.

l 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 accident.

l The personalized extender may not be safe on another vehicle, whenused by another person, or at a different seating position other than theone originally intended.

NOTICE

n When using a seat belt extenderWhen releasing the seat belt, press on the buckle release button on theextender, not on the seat belt.This helps prevent damage to the vehicle interior and the extender itself.

SRS airbags

The SRS airbags inflate when the vehicle is subjected to certaintypes of severe impacts that may cause significant injury to theoccupants. They work together with the seat belts to help reduce therisk of death or serious injury.

Front airbagsDriver airbag/front passenger airbagCan help protect the head and chest of the driver and front pas-senger from impact with interior components.

Side and curtain shield airbagsSide airbags (if equipped)Can help protect the torso of the front seat occupants.Curtain shield airbags (if equipped)Can help protect primarily the head of outside occupants.69

Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed basedon US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The airbag sys-tem controls airbag deployment power for the driver and front pas-senger. The driver airbag system consists of the driver seats positionsensor etc. The front passengers airbag system consists of the frontpassenger occupant classification sensor etc.

The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. TheSRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. Theairbag sensor assembly consists of a safing sensor and an airbagsensor.

In certain types of severe frontal or side impacts, the SRS airbag sys-tem triggers the airbag inflators. A chemical reaction in the inflatorsquickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motionof the occupants.

n SRS warning lightThis warning light system monitors the airbag sensor assembly, front airbagsensors, side and curtain shield airbag sensors, curtain shield airbag sen-sors, drivers seat position sensor, drivers seat belt buckle switch, front pas-senger occupant classification system, AIR BAG ON indicator light, AIRBAG OFF indicator light, front passengers seat belt buckle switch, seat beltpretensioner assemblies, inflators, interconnecting wiring and powersources. (P. 298)

n If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)l Bruising and slight abrasions may result from contact with a deploying

(inflating) SRS airbag.

l A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.

l Vehicles with side and curtain shield airbags: Parts of the airbag module(steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats,and parts of the front and rear pillars and roof side rail, may be hot forseveral minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.

l Vehicles without side and curtain shield airbags: Parts of the airbag mod-ule (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front71

seats may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.


n If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)l The front windshield may crack.

n Operating conditions (front airbags)l The SRS front airbag will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds

the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approxi-mately 12-18 mph [20-30 km/h] frontal collision with a fixed wall that doesnot move or deform).

However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher if the vehiclestrikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which can move ordeform on impact, or if the vehicle is involved in an underride collision (e.g.a collision in which the front of the vehicle underrides, or goes under, thebed of a truck, etc.).

l It is possible that in some collisions where the forward deceleration of thevehicle is very close to the designed threshold level, the SRS front air-bags and the seat belt pretensioners may not activate together.

l The SRS front passenger airbag will not activate if there is no passengersitting in the front passenger seat. However, the front passenger airbagmay deploy if luggage is put in the seat, even if the seat is unoccupied.(P. 81)

n Operating conditions (side airbags and curtain shield airbags [ifequipped])l The SRS side airbag & SRS curtain shield airbag will deploy in the event

of an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corre-sponding to the impact force produced by an approximately 3307 lb.[1500 kg] vehicle colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpen-dicular to the vehicle orientation at an approximately speed of 12-18 mph[20-30 km/h]).

l The SRS side airbag on the passenger seat will not activate if there is nopassenger sitting in the front passenger seat. However, the side airbagon the passenger seat may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, even ifthe seat is unoccupied. (P. 81)72


n Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), otherthan a collisionThe SRS front airbags may also deploy if a serious impact occurs to theunderside of your vehicle. Some examples are shown in the illustration.

n Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbag (front airbags)The SRS front airbags are generally not designed to inflate if the vehicle isinvolved in a side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed frontal collision. But, whenever a collision of any type causes suffi-cient forward deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front air-bags may occur.

l Hitting a curb, edge of pavement orhard surface

l Falling into or jumping over a deep hole

l Landing hard or vehicle falling

l Collision from the side

l Collision from the rear

l Vehicle rollover73


n Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbag (side airbags and curtain shield airbags [if equipped])The SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag system may not activate if thevehicle is subjected to a collision from the side at certain angles, or a colli-sion to the side of the vehicle body other than the passenger compartment.

The SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags are not generally designedto inflate if the vehicle is involved in a frontal or rear collision, if it rolls over,or if it is involved in a low-speed side collision.

l Collision from the side to the vehiclebody other than the passenger com-partment

l Collision from the side at an angle

l Collision from the front

l Collision from the rear

l Vehicle rollover74


n When to contact your Toyota dealerIn the following cases, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

l Any of the SRS airbags have been inflated.

l The front of the vehicle is damaged ordeformed, or was involved in an acci-dent that was not severe enough tocause the SRS airbags to inflate.

l Vehicles with side airbags and curtainshield airbags: A portion of a door isdamaged or deformed, or the vehiclewas involved in an accident that wasnot severe enough to cause the SRSside airbags and curtain shield airbagsto inflate.

l The pad section of the steering wheelor dashboard near the front passengerairbag is scratched, cracked, or other-wise damaged.

l Vehicles with side airbags and curtainshield airbags: The surface of the seatswith the side airbag is scratched,cracked or otherwise damaged.

l Vehicles with side airbags and curtainshield airbags: The portion of the frontpillars, rear pillars or roof side rail gar-nishes (padding) containing the curtainshield airbags inside is scratched,cracked or otherwise damaged.75


CAUTION

n SRS airbag precautionsObserve the following precautions regarding the airbags. Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.

l The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat beltsproperly.The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts.

l The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can causedeath or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag.The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) advises:

Since the risk zone for driver airbag is the first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75 mm) of infla-tion, placing yourself 10 in. (250 mm) from your driver airbag provides youwith a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured from the center ofthe steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than 10 in. (250 mm)away now, you can change your driving position in several ways:

Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching thepedals comfortably.

Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 10 in.(250 mm) distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward, sim-ply by reclining the back of the seat somewhat. If reclining the back ofyour seat makes it hard to see the road, raise yourself by using a firm,non-slippery cushion, or raise the seat if your vehicle has that feature.

If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the air-bag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.

The seat should be adjusted as recommended by NHTSA above, while stillmaintaining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of theinstrument panel controls.76


CAUTION

n SRS airbag precautions

l The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, andcan cause death or serious injury especially if the front passenger is veryclose to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far from the air-bag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sitsupright.

l Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed orseriously injured by a deploying airbag. An infant or child who is too smallto use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint sys-tem. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed inthe rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats arethe safest for infants and children. (P. 86)

l If the seat belt extender has been con-nected to the drivers seat belt bucklebut the seat belt extender has not alsobeen fastened to the latch plate of thedrivers seat belt, the SRS drivers air-bag system will judge that the driver iswearing the seat belt even though theseat belt has not been connected. Inthis case, the drivers airbag may notactivate correctly in a collision, resultingin death or serious injury in the event ofcollision. Be sure to wear the seat beltwith the seat belt extender.77


CAUTION


l Do not sit on the edge of the seat orlean against the dashboard.

l Do not allow a child to stand in front ofthe SRS front passenger airbag unit orsit on the knees of a front passenger.

l Do not drive the vehicle while the driveror passenger has items resting on theirknees.

l Vehicles with side airbags and curtainshield airbags: Do not lean against thedoor, the roof side rail or the front, sideand rear pillars.

l Vehicles with side airbags and curtainshield airbags: Do not allow anyone tokneel on the passenger seat toward thedoor or put their head or hands outsidethe vehicle.78


CAUTION


l Vehicles with side airbags: Do not use seat accessories which cover theparts where the SRS side airbags inflate as they may interfere with infla-tion of the airbags.

l Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS air-bag components shown on P. 70. Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.

l Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS air-bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.

l If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbag has deployed, open adoor or window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to doso. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation.

l Do not attach anything to or lean any-thing against areas such as the dash-board or steering wheel pad. These items can become projectileswhen SRS driver and front passengerairbags deploy.

l Vehicles with side airbags and curtainshield airbags: Do not attach anythingto areas such as the door, windshieldglass, side door glass, front and rearpillars, roof side rail or assist grip.

l Vehicles with side airbags and curtainshield airbags: Do not hang coat hang-ers or other hard objects on the coathooks. All of these items could becomeprojectiles and seriously injure or killyou, should the SRS curtain shield air-bag deploy.79


CAUTION

n SRS airbag precautionsl Vehicles with curtain shield airbags: If the areas where the SRS airbags

are stored, such as the steering wheel pad and front and rear pillar gar-nishes, are damaged or cracked, have them replaced by your Toyotadealer.

l Vehicles without curtain shield airbags: If the areas where the SRS airbagsare stored, such as the steering wheel pad are damaged or cracked, havethem replaced by your Toyota dealer.

n Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system componentsDo not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modificationswithout consulting your Toyota dealer. The SRS airbags may malfunction or deploy (inflate) accidentally, causingdeath or serious injury.

l Installation, removal, disassembly and repair of the SRS airbags.

l Repairs, modifications, removal or replacement of the steering wheel,instrument panel, dashboard, seats or seat upholstery, front, side and rearpillars or roof side rail.

l Repairs or modifications of the front fender, front bumper, or side of theoccupant compartment.

l Installation of snow plows, winches, etc. to the front grille (bull bars, kan-garoo bar etc.).

l Modifications to the vehicles suspension system.

l Installation of electronic devices such as mobile two-way radios or CDplayers.

l Modifications to your vehicle for a person with a physical disability.80

CAUTION

n Front passenger occupant classification system precautionsObserve the following precautions regarding front passenger occupant clas-sification system.Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.

l Wear the seat belt properly.

l Make sure the front passengers seat belt tab has not been left insertedinto the buckle before someone sits in the front passenger seat.

l Make sure the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is not illuminated when usingthe seat belt extender for the front passenger seat. If the AIR BAG OFFindicator light is illuminated, disconnect the extender tongue from the seatbelt buckle, then reconnect the seat belt. Reconnect the seat belt extenderafter making sure the AIR BAG ON indicator light is illuminated. If you usethe seat belt extender while the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is illuminated,the front passenger airbag and side airbag on the front passenger sidemay not activate correctly, which could cause death or serious injury in theevent of collision.

l Do not apply a heavy load to the front passenger seat or equipment.

l Do not put weight on the front passenger seat by putting your hands orfeet on the front passenger seat seatback from the rear passenger seat.

l Do not let a rear passenger lift the front passenger seat with their feet orpress on the seatback with their legs.

l Do not put objects under the front passenger seat.

l Do not recline the front passenger seatback so far that it touches a rearseat. This may cause the AIR BAG OFF indicator light to be illuminated,which indicates that the passengers airbags will not deploy in the event ofa severe accident. If the seatback touches the rear seat, return the seat-back to a position where it does not touch the rear seat. Keep the frontpassenger seatback as upright as possible when the vehicle is moving.Reclining the seatback excessively may lessen the effectiveness of theseat belt system.84


CAUTION

n Front passenger occupant classification system precautionsl If an adult sits in the front passenger seat, the AIR BAG ON indicator light

is illuminated. If the AIR BAG OFF indicator is illuminated, ask the passen-ger to sit up straight, well back in the seat, feet on the floor, and with theseat belt worn correctly. If the AIR BAG OFF indicator still remain illumi-nated, either ask the passenger to move to the rear seat, or if that is notpossible, move the front passenger seat fully rearward.

l When it is unavoidable to install the forward-facing child restraint systemon the front passenger seat, install the child restraint system on the frontpassenger seat in the proper order. (P. 90)

l Do not modify or remove the front seats.

l Do not kick the front passenger seat or subject it to severe impact. Other-wise, the SRS warning light may come on to indicate a malfunction of thedetection system. In this case, contact your Toyota dealer immediately.

l Child restraint systems installed on the rear seat should not contact thefront seatbacks.85


Child restraint systems

Points to remember

Studies have shown that installing a child restraint on a rear seat ismuch safer than installing one to the front passenger seat.

l Choose a child restraint system that suits your vehicle and isappropriate to the age and size of the child.

l For installation details, follow the instructions provided with thechild restraint system.General installation instructions are provided in this manual. (P. 90)

Types of child restraints

Child restraint systems are classified into the following 3 typesaccording to the age and size of the child.

Rear facing Infant seat/convertible seat

A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be prop-erly restrained on the seat with the lap portion of the lap/shoulderbelt.

The laws of all 50 states of the U.S.A. and Canada now require theuse of child restraint systems.86


Forward facing Convertible seat

Booster seat

n Selecting an appropriate child restraint systeml Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child

becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicles seat belts.

l If a child is too large for a child restraint system, sit the child on a rearseat and use the vehicles seat belt. (P. 44)87


CAUTION

n Child restraint precautionsl For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child

must be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint systemdepending on the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms isnot a substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can becrushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicles interior.

l Toyota strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that con-forms to the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to acci-dent statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seatthan in the front seat.

l Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passengerseat even if AIR BAG OFF indicator light is illuminated. In the event of anaccident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag cancause death or serious injury to the child if the rear-facing child restraintsystem is installed on the front passenger seat.

l A forward-facing child restraint system may be installed on the front pas-senger seat only when it is unavoidable. A child restraint system thatrequires a top tether strap should not be used in the front passenger seatsince there is no top tether strap anchor for the front passenger seat.Adjust the seatback as upright as possible and always move the seat asfar back as possible even if the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is illuminated,because the front passenger airbag could inflate with considerable speedand force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously injured.

l Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint systemon the front or rear passenger seat. If installing a child restraint systemwith the seat belt extender connected to the seat belt, the seat belt will notsecurely hold the child restraint system, which could cause death or seri-ous injury to the child or other passengers in the event of emergency brak-ing, sudden swerving or an accident.

l Vehicles with side airbags and curtain shield airbags: Do not allow thechild to lean his/her head or any part of his/her body against the door orthe area of the seat, front and rear pillars or roof side rail from which theside airbags or curtain shield airbags deploy even if the child is seated inthe child restraint system. It is dangerous if the side airbags and curtainshield airbags inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to88

the child.


CAUTION

n Child restraint precautionsl Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by

the child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. Ifit is not secured properly, it may cause death or serious injury to the childin the event of emergency braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

n Child restraint lock function belt precautionDo not allow children to play with the child restraint lock function belt. If thebelt becomes twisted around a childs neck, it will not be possible to pull thebelt out leading to choking or other serious injuries that could result in death.

If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be usedto cut the belt.

n When the child restraint system is not in usel Keep the child restraint system properly secured on the seat even if it is

not in use. Do not store the restraint unsecured in the passenger compart-ment.

l If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from thevehicle or store it securely in the trunk. This will prevent it from injuringpassengers in the event of emergency braking, sudden swerving or anaccident.89
