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
Vehicles without rear seats:
When the vehicle is subjected
to a severe frontal or side
impact or rollover, the preten-
sioners retract the seat belts
of the front seats to securely
restrain the occupants.
The pretensioners will not
operate in minor frontal or
side impacts, or rear impacts.
Vehicles with rear seats:
When the vehicle is subjected
to a severe frontal or side
impact or rollover, the preten-
sioners retract the seat belts
of the front seats and rear
outer seats to securely
restrain the occupants.
The pretensioners will not
operate in minor frontal or
side impacts, or rear impacts.
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 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 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 operate 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.
