Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated
The seat belts cannot be used after a pretensioner has been activated. After
an accident, have the pretensioners inspected by your Toyota dealer. Make
sure the pretensioners are replaced if they have been activated.

Obtain medical advice and wear the seat
belt in the proper way. (→P. 41)
Women who are pregnant should position
the lap belt as low as possible over the
hips in the same manner as other occu-
pants. Extend the shoulder belt com-
pletely over the shoulder and position the
belt across the chest. Avoid belt contact
over the rounding of the abdominal area.
If the seat belt is not worn properly, not
only a pregnant woman, but also the fetus
could suffer death or serious injury as a
result of sudden braking or a collision.
