CAUTION

Child restraint lock function belt precaution

Do not allow children to play with the child restraint lock function belt. If the
belt becomes twisted around a child's neck, it will not be possible to pull the
belt out leading to choking or other serious injuries that could result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used
to cut the belt.
n

Seat belt damage and wear

Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be
l
jammed in the door.
Inspect the seat belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose
l
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.
l
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
l
involved in a serious accident, even if there's no obvious damage.
l 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.
n

Using a seat belt extender

Do not wear the seat belt extender if you can fasten the seat belt without
l
the extender.
Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system
l
because the belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, increas-
ing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.
The personalized extender may not be safe on another vehicle, when
l
used by another person, or at a different seating position other than the
one originally intended.
