pants by retracting the seat belts
when the vehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe frontal col-
lision.
The pretensioners do not activate
in the event of a minor frontal
impact, a side impact, a rear
impact or a vehicle rollover.

Emergency locking retractor (ELR) (3-point type seat belt)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend so that you can move around fully.
■
Child seat belt usage
The seat belts of your vehicle were principally designed for persons of adult
size.
●
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child
becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat belt. (→ P. 65)
●
When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat
belt, follow the instructions regarding seat belt usage. (→P. 40)

Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated (if
equipped)
If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate for
the first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent collisions.

If seat belt regulations exist in the country where you reside, please contact
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional for seat belt replacement or installation.
