—Seat belt extender

If your seat belts cannot be fastened se-
curely because they are not long enough,
a personalized seat belt extender is avail-
able from your Toyota dealer
charge.
Please contact your local Toyota dealer so
that the dealer can order the proper re-
quired length for the extender. Bring the
heaviest coat you expect to wear for prop-
er measurement and selection of length.
Additional ordering information is available
at your Toyota dealer.
CAUTION
When using the seat belt extender,
observe the following precautions.
Failure to follow these instructions
could reduce the effectiveness of the
seat belt restraint system in case of
an accident, increasing the chance of
personal injury.

Remember that the extender pro-
vided for you may not be safe when
used on a different vehicle,
another person, or at a different
seating position than the one origi-
nally intended.

If the seat belt extender has been
connected to the driver's seat belt
buckle without wearing the seat belt
when using the extender
driver's seat, the SRS driver's air-
bag system will judge that the driv-
er wears the seat belt even if not
wearing it. In this case, the driver's
airbag may not activate correctly,
causing death or serious injury in
for
the event of collision. Be sure to
wear the seat belt with the seat belt
extender.
D
Make sure the front passenger oc-
cupant classification indicator light
indicates "ON" when using the seat
belt extender for the front passen-
ger seat. If the indicator light indi-
cates "OFF", disconnect the extend-
er tongue from the seat belt buckle,
then reconnect the seat belt. Recon-
nect the seat belt extender after
making sure the indicator light indi-
cates "ON". If you use the seat belt
extender while the indicator light
indicates "OFF", the front passen-
ger airbag may not activate correct-
ly, which could cause death or seri-
ous injury in the event of collision.
D
Be sure to wear the seat belt with-
in the
out the seat belt extender if you
can fasten the seat belt without the
extender.
