1-1. For safe use
WARNING
■ Adjustable shoulder anchor
Always make sure the shoulder
belt is positioned across the cen-
ter of your shoulder. The belt
should be kept away from your
neck, but not falling off your shoul-
der. Failure to do so could reduce
the amount of protection in an
accident and cause death or seri-
ous injuries in the event of a sud-
den stop, sudden swerve or
accident.
Seat belt pretensioners
(front and outboard rear
seats)
The pretensioners help the seat
belts to quickly restrain the
occupants by retracting the seat
belts when the vehicle is sub-
jected to certain types of severe
frontal or side collision or a vehi-
cle rollover.
The pretensioners do not activate
in the event of a minor frontal
impact, a minor side impact or a
rear impact.
■ Replacing the belt after the pre-
tensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple
collisions, the pretensioner will acti-
vate for the first collision, but will not
activate for the second or subse-
quent collisions.
■ PCS-linked seat belt preten-
sioner control
If the PCS (Pre-Collision System)
determines that the possibility of a
collision with a vehicle is high, the
seat belt pretensioners will be pre-
pared to operate.
WARNING
■ Seat belt pretensioners
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of injury in the
event of sudden braking sudden
swerving or an accident.
. Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury.
● Do not place anything, such as
a cushion, on the front passen-
ger's seat. Doing so will
disperse the passenger's
weight, which prevents the sen-
sor from detecting the passen-
ger'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 a pretensioner has operated,
the SRS warning light will illumi-
nate. In this situation, the seat
belt cannot be used and must
be replaced by your Toyota
dealer.
