CAUTION
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 any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
To obtain maximum protection, the occupants should sit in an upright posi-
tion with their seat belts properly fastened.
Do not modify, remove or strike the front seat belt retractor assemblies or
surrounding area. This could result in accidental activation of the seat belt
pretensioners or could make the system inoperative, possibly resulting in
serious injury. Seat belt pretensioners have no user-serviceable parts. For
required servicing of front seat belt retractors equipped with seat belt pre-
tensioners, see any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
When discarding front seat belt retractor assemblies or scrapping the
entire vehicle due to collision damage or for other reasons, consult any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
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 any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.
Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been
involved in a serious accident, even if there's no obvious damage.

CAUTION
Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of the
seat belts. Have any necessary repairs carried out by any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional. Inappropriate handling of the pretensioner may prevent it from
operating properly, resulting in death or serious injury.
When using the seat belt guide
Always make sure that the belt is not twisted, and runs freely through the
guide.
Regardless of whether the guide is used or not, always secure the seat
belt guide button.
Do not hang from or pull the guide forcefully.
Before using the rear seat belts
Always make sure that the seat belt is not
caught in the seatback or twisted in one
of the hooks that secure the seatback.
Failure to do so may cause the seat belt
to not be fastened correctly or to become
ineffective in a collision, resulting in seri-
ous injury.
