Page 28: Seat Belts
1-1. For safe use Seat belts Make sure that all occupants are wearing their seat belts before driving the vehicle. Correct use of the seat belts ● 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.
Page 29 1-1. For safe use Rear center seat belt Fastening the seat belt ■ The rear center seat belt is a 3-point type restraint with 2 buckles. Both seat belt buckles must be correctly located and securely latched for proper operation. Push the tabs back all the way into the cover and then remove the tabs.
Page 30 1-1. For safe use Releasing the seat belt ■ Release the rear center seat belt only when necessary, such as when folding down the rear seat. For safety, always store the plate in the designated place after releasing it. To release tab “A”, press the release button.
Page 31 1-1. For safe use Holding tab “A” and “B” together, insert both tabs all the way into the cover on the roof. With tab “B” inserted all the way into the cover, move tab “A” slightly back toward the cover’s inlet, so that it blocks the inlet.
Page 32 1-1.

Page 34 ● If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will come on. In that case, the seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced at your Toyota dealer. PRIUS c_U (OM52F96U)
Page 35 ● 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 vehicle has been involved in a serious accident, even if there’s no obvious damage.
Page 36 1-1. For safe use WARNING ■ Using a seat belt extender ● Do not wear the seat belt extender if you can fasten the seat belt without the extender. ● 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.

For safe use WARNING ■ Child restraint precautions ● Do not allow the child to lean his/her head or any part of his/her body against the door or the area of the seat, front and rear pillars or roof side rails from which the SRS side airbags or SRS curtain shield airbags deploy even if the child is seated in the child restraint system.
Page 61: Installing Child Restraints
1-1. For safe use Installing child restraints Follow the child restraint system manufacturer’s instructions. Firmly secure child restraints to the rear seats using the LATCH anchors or a seat belt. Attach the top tether strap when installing a child restraint. The lap/shoulder belt can be used if your child restraint system is not compatible with the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) system.
Page 62 1-1. For safe use Installation with LATCH system Type A  Widen the gap in the seat cushion slightly. Latch the hooks of the lower straps onto LATCH anchors. If the child restraint has a top tether strap, the top tether strap should be latched onto the top tether strap anchor.
Page 63 1-1. For safe use Type B  Widen the gap in the seat cushion slightly. Latch the buckles onto the LATCH anchors. If the child restraint has a top tether strap, the top tether strap should be latched onto the top tether strap anchor.

Before driving As shown in the example above, if the number of occupants increases, the cargo and luggage load will be reduced by an amount that equals the increased weight due to the additional occupants. In other words, if an increase in the number of occupants causes an excess of the total load capacity (combined weight of occupants plus cargo and luggage load), you must reduce the cargo and luggage on your vehicle.

Page 267: Driving Tips
4-7. Driving tips Hybrid vehicle driving tips For economical and ecological driving, pay attention to the fol- lowing points: ◆ Using Eco drive mode When using Eco drive mode, the torque corresponding to the accel- erator pedal depression amount can be generated more smoothly than it is in normal conditions.
Page 268 4-7. Driving tips ◆ When braking Make sure to operate the brakes gently and in a timely manner. A greater amount of electrical energy can be regenerated when slow- ing down. ◆ Delays Repeated acceleration and deceleration, as well as long waits at traffic lights, will lead to bad fuel economy.
Page 269 4-7. Driving tips ◆ Luggage Carrying heavy luggage will lead to poor fuel economy. Avoid carry- ing unnecessary luggage. Installing a large roof rack will also cause poor fuel economy. ◆ Warming up before driving Since the gasoline engine starts up and cuts out automatically when cold, warming up the engine is unnecessary.

4-7. Driving tips Winter driving tips Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before driving the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a man- ner appropriate to the prevailing weather conditions. Pre-winter preparations ● Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside tempera- tures.
Page 271 4-7. Driving tips When parking the vehicle Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to P without setting the park- ing brake. The parking brake may freeze up, preventing it from being released. If necessary, block the wheels to prevent inadvertent sliding or creeping.
Page 272 NOTICE ■ Repairing or replacing snow tires Request repairs or replacement of snow tires from Toyota dealers or legiti- mate tire retailers. This is because the removal and attachment of snow tires affects the opera- tion of the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters.
