WARNING
■ 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's 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 of the pretensioner may prevent it from operating
properly, resulting in death or serious injury.
■
When using or storing the rear center seat belt
● Do not use the rear center seat belt 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.
●
For vehicles with split rear seats, do not allow anyone sit on the rear center
seat if the rear right seat is folded down, as the seat belt buckle for the rear
center seat belt is then concealed under the folded seat and cannot be
used.
●
When storing the rear center seat belt, ensure that the tabs are securely
inserted into the cover on the roof. If the tabs are not stowed properly, they
may drop from the cover while driving, resulting in serious injury.
