heaviest coat you expect to wear for prop-
er measurement and selection of length.
Additional ordering information is available
at your Toyota dealer.

Make sure the front passenger oc-
cupant classification indicator light
indicates "ON" when using the seat
belt extender for the front passen-
ger seat. If the indicator light indi-
cates "OFF", disconnect the extend-
er tongue from the seat belt buckle,
then reconnect the seat belt. Recon-
nect the seat belt extender after
making sure the indicator light indi-
cates "ON". If you use the seat belt
extender while the indicator light
indicates "OFF", the front passen-
ger airbag and side airbag on the
front passenger side may not acti-
vate correctly, which could cause
death or serious injury in the event
of collision.
Do not use the seat belt extender
if it is not absolutely necessary.
