CAUTION
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of
sudden braking or an accident.
Failing to do so may cause death or severe injury.
n
Wearing a seat belt
Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt.
l
Always wear a seat belt properly.
l
l
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
l
use a seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.
Do not recline the seat any more than necessary to achieve a proper seat-
l
ing position. 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.
l
Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips.
l
Seat belt pretensioners
n
Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger's seat.
l
Doing so will disperse the passenger's weight, which prevents the sensor
from detecting the passenger's weight properly. As a result, the seat belt
pretensioner for the front passenger's seat may not activate in the event of
a collision.
If the pretensioner has activated, the seat belt becomes locked: it cannot
l
be further extended, nor will it return to the stowed position. The seat belt
cannot be used again must be replaced at your Toyota dealer.
