When Children Are In The Vehicle; Seat Belt Pretensioners; Seat Belt Damage And Wear - Toyota Avanza Owner's Manual

WARNING

When children are in the vehicle

■
Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes
twisted around a child's neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries
that could result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used
to cut the belt.

Seat belt pretensioners

■
If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will flash. In that
case, the seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced at your
Toyota dealer.

Seat belt damage and wear

■
Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be
●
jammed in the door.
Inspect the seat belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose
●
parts. Do not use a damaged seat 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 vehicle has been
●
involved in a serious 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.
Inappropriate handling may lead to incorrect operation.
When using the center seat belt of the second seat (if equipped)
■
Do not use the center seat belt of the
second seat with either buckle released.
Fastening only one of the buckles may
result in death or serious injury in case of
sudden braking or a collision.
