Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
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.
Adjusting the seat belt
shoulder anchor height
(front seats)
1
Push the seat belt shoulder
anchor down while pressing the
release button
2
Push the seat belt shoulder
anchor up.
Move the height adjuster up and down
as needed until you hear a click.
WARNING
■
Adjustable shoulder anchor
Always make sure the shoulder belt is
positioned across the center of your
shoulder. The belt should be kept
away from your neck, but not falling
off your shoulder. Failure to do so
could reduce the amount of protection
in an accident and cause death or
serious injuries in the event of a sud-
den stop, sudden swerve or accident.

.
1-1. For safe use
Seat belt pretensioners
(front and outboard rear
seats)
The pretensioners help the seat
belts to quickly restrain the occu-
pants by retracting the seat belts
when the vehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe frontal or
side collision.
The pretensioners do not activate in the
event of a minor frontal impact, a minor
side impact, a rear impact or a vehicle
rollover.
■
Replacing the belt after the preten-
sioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple colli-
sions, the pretensioner will activate for
the first collision, but will not activate for
the second or subsequent collisions.
WARNING
■
Seat belt pretensioners
If the pretensioner has activated, the
SRS warning light will come on. In
that case, the seat belt cannot be
used again and must be replaced at
your Toyota dealer.
Failure to do so may cause death or
serious injury.
