Seat belts
Make sure that all occu-
pants are wearing their seat
belts before driving the
vehicle.
WARNING
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of injury in the
event of sudden braking, sudden
swerving or an accident.
Failure to do so may cause death
or serious injury.
■Wearing a seat belt
●Ensure that all passengers wear
a seat belt.
●Always wear a seat belt prop-
erly.
●Each seat belt should be used
by one person only. Do not use
a seat belt for more than one
person at once, including chil-
dren.
●Toyota recommends that chil-
dren be seated in the rear seat
and always use a seat belt
and/or an appropriate child
restraint system.
●To achieve a proper seating
position, do not recline the seat
more than necessary. The seat
belt is most effective when the
occupants are sitting up straight
and well back in the seats.
●Do not wear the shoulder belt
under your arm.
●Always wear your seat belt low
and snug across your hips.
■Pregnant women
Obtain medical advice and wear
the seat belt in the proper way.
(
P. 2 6 )
Women who are pregnant should
position the lap belt as low as
possible over the hips in the same
manner as other occupants,
extending the shoulder belt com-
pletely over the shoulder and
avoiding belt contact with the
rounding of the abdominal area.
If the seat belt is not worn prop-
erly, not only the pregnant
woman, but also the fetus could
suffer death or serious injury as a
result of sudden braking or a colli-
sion.
■People suffering illness
Obtain medical advice and wear
the seat belt in the proper way.
(
P. 2 6 )
■When children are in the vehi-
cle
Do not allow children to play with
the seat belt. If the seat belt
becomes twisted around a child’s
neck, it may lead to choking or
other serious injuries that could
result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle can-
not be unfastened, scissors
should be used to cut the belt.

261-1. For safe use
Extend the shoulder belt so that it comes fully over the
shoulder, but does not come
into contact with the neck or
slide off the shoulder.
 Position the lap belt as low as
possible over the hips.
 Adjust the position of the
seatback. Sit up straight and
well back in the seat.
 Do not twist the seat belt.
■Child seat belt usage
The seat belts of your vehicle were
principally designed for persons of
adult size.
●Use a child restraint system
appropriate for the child, until the
child becomes large enough to
properly wear the vehicle’s seat
belt. ( P. 6 4 )
●When the child becomes large
enough to properl y wear the vehi-
cle’s seat belt, follow the instruc-
tions regarding seat belt usage.
(  P. 2 5 )
1 To fasten the seat belt, push
the plate into the buckle until
a click sound is heard.
2 To release the seat belt,
WARNING
■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 sea t 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
your Toyota dealer.
●Replace the seat assembly,
including the belts, if your vehi-
cle has been involved in a seri-
ous accident, even if there is no
obvious damage.
●Do not attempt to install,
remove, modify, disassemble or
dispose of the seat belts. Have
any necessary repairs carried
out by your Toyota dealer. Inap-
propriate handling may lead to
incorrect operation.

■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. When the seat belt locks,
pull the belt str ongly and then
release the belt, then a slow and
easy pulling will allow the belt to
extend.
■Automatic locking retractor
(ALR)
When a passenger’s shoulder belt is
completely extended and then
retracted even slightly, the belt is
locked in that position and cannot
be extended. This feature is used to
hold a child restraint system (CRS)
firmly. To free the belt again, fully
retract the belt and then pull the belt
out once more. ( P. 6 4 )
When fastening a front seat belt,
ensure that it is passed through
the seat belt guide. Passing the
seat belt through the guide
enables the seat belt to be eas-
ily extended.
When you get into or out of the rear
seats, release the seat belt from the
seat belt guide.
The pretensioners help the seat
belts to quickly restrain the
occupants by retracting the seat
belts when the vehicle is sub-
jected to certain types of severe
frontal collision or a vehicle roll-
over.
The front seat belt pretensioners
also activate when the vehicle is
subjected to certain types of severe
side collision.
The pretensioners do not activate
in the event of a minor frontal
impact, a minor s ide impact or a
rear impact.

AWARNING
■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 but-
ton.
●Do not hang fr om or pull the
guide forcefully.
Seat belt pretensioners
(front seats)

281-1. For safe use
■Replacing the belt after the pre-
tensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is in volved in multiple
collisions, the pretensioner will acti-
vate for the first collision, but will not
activate for the second or subse-
quent collisions.
WARNING
■Seat belt pretensioners
●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 activate in the event of
a collision.
●If the pretensioner has acti-
vated, 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.

For safety and security
■Location of the SRS airbags
The SRS airbags are stowed in the following locations.
SRS airbags
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) name is used because
the airbag system supplements the vehicle’s seatbelts.
This vehicle is equipped with a supplemental restraint system
which consists of seven airbags.
The configurations are as follows.
 Driver’s and front passenger’s frontal airbags
 Driver’s and front passenger’s side airbags
 Curtain shield airbags (for driver, front passenger and rear pa s-
sengers)
 Knee airbag for driver
These SRS airbags are designed only to be a supplement to
the primary protection provided by the seatbelt.
The system also controls front seatbelt pretensioners. For
operation instructions and precautions concerning the seat-
belt pretensioner, refer to P.27.

■If the SRS airbag deploys
If the SRS airbag deploys, fuel sup-
ply will be cut off to reduce the risk
of fire caused by leaking fuel. For
details about restarting of the
engine, refer to P.347.
■SRS Airbag System Servicing
In the following cases, contact your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
●The front part of the vehicle was
involved in an accident in which
only the driver’s SRS frontal air-
bag or both driver’s and front pas-
senger’s SRS frontal airbags did
not deploy.
●The pad of the steering wheel, the
cover over the front passenger’s
SRS frontal airbag, or either roof
side (from the front pillar to a point
over the rear seat) is scratched,
cracked, or otherwise damaged.
●The center pillar, door, rear wheel
house or rear sub frame, or an
area near these parts, was
involved in an accident in which
the SRS side air bag and SRS cur-
tain shield airbag did not deploy.
●The fabric or leather of either front
seatback is cut, frayed, or other-
wise damaged.
●The rear part of the vehicle was
involved in an accident in which
no SRS airbag was deployed.
■When you sell your vehicle
When you sell your vehicle, we urge
you to inform the buyer that the vehicle is equipped with SRS air-
bags. Also, notify the buyer of the
applicable section in this Owner’s
Manual.
WARNING
■General Precautions regard-
ing SRS Airbag System
●To obtain maximum protection
in the event of an accident, the
driver and all passengers must
always wear seatbelts when in
the vehicle. The SRS airbag is
designed only to be a supple-
ment to the primary protection
provided by the seatbelt. It does
not eliminate the need to fasten
seatbelts. In combination with
the seatbelts, it offers the best
protection in case of a serious
accident.
Not wearing a seat belt increases
the chance of severe injury or
death in a crash even when the
vehicle has the SRS airbag.
For instructions and precautions
concerning the seatbelt system,
refer to P.25.

For safety and security
WARNING
●The SRS side airbags and SRS
curtain shield airbags are
designed only to be a supple-
ment to the primary protection
provided by the seatbelt. They
do not eliminate the need to fas-
ten seatbelts. It is also important
to wear a seatbelt to help avoid
injuries that can result when an
occupant is not seated in a
proper upright position.
●The SRS airbags deploy with
considerable speed and force.
Occupants who are not seated
in proper upright position when
the SRS airbag deploys could
suffer serious injury. Because
the SRS airbag needs enough
space for deployment, the driver
should always sit upright and
back in the seat a s far from the
steering wheel as practical
while still maintaining full vehi-
cle control, and the front pas-
senger should move the seat as
far back as possible and sit
upright and we ll back in the
seat.
●Do not sit or lean close to either
door. The SRS side airbags are
stored in both front seat seat-
backs next to the door, and they
provide protection by deploying
rapidly in the event of a side
impact collision. However, the
force of SRS side airbag
deployment can injure an occu-
pant whose body is too close to
an SRS airbag.
●Since your vehicle is equipped
with SRS curtain shield airbags,
do not sit or lean close to the
door on either side. Do not put
body parts out of the window.
The SRS curtain shield airbags
on both sides of the cabin are
stored in the roof side (between
the front pilla r and a point
behind the rear quarter glass),
and they provide protection by
deploying rapidly in the event of
a side impact, rollover or an off-
set frontal collision. However,
the force of its deployment can
injure an occupant whose body
is too close to an SRS airbag.

341-1. For safe use
WARNING
●Do not sit or lean unnecessarily
close to the SRS airbag.
Because the SRS airbag
deploys with considerable
speed and force to protect in
high speed collisions, the force
of an airbag can injure an occu-
pant whose body is too close to
SRS airbag.
It is also important to wear seat-
belts to help avoid injuries that
can result when the SRS airbag
contacts an occupant not in
their proper position.
Even when properly positioned,
there remains a possibility that
an occupant may suffer minor
injury, such as abrasions and
bruises to the face or arms,
because of the SRS airbag
deployment force.
●Keep arms away from either
door or its internal trim. They
could be injured in the event of
SRS side airbag deployment.
●Do not place any objects over or
near the SRS airbag cover or
between you and the SRS air-
bag. If the SRS airbag deploys,
these objects could interfere
with its proper operation and
could be propelled inside the
vehicle, causing injury.
■If the SRS airbag deploys
●When the SRS airbag deploys,
some smoke will be released.
This smoke could cause breath-
ing problems for people with a
history of asthma or other
breathing trouble. If you or your
passengers have breathing
problems after SRS airbag
deploys, get fresh air promptly.
●A deploying SRS airbag
releases hot gas. Occupants
could get burned if they come
into direct contact with the hot
gas.
■General Precautions regard-
ing SRS Airbag System for
Accessories and Any Objects
●Do not put any objects (includ-
ing straps or cord) over the
steering wheel pad, column
cover, or dashboard.
• These objects could be entan- gled with the steering wheel,
preventing the SRS frontal air-
bag, etc. from operating prop-
erly.
• If the SRS frontal airbag deploys, these objects could be
propelled inside the vehicle,
causing injury.

361-1. For safe use
WARNING
■General Precautions regard-
ing SRS Airbag System and
Children
●Place children in the rear seat
properly restrained at all times.
The SRS airbag deploys with
considerable speed and force
and can injure or even kill chil-
dren, especially if they are not
restrained or improperly
restrained. Because children
are lighter and weaker than
adults, their risk of being injured
from deployment is greater.
For that reason, we strongly
recommend that ALL children
(including those in child restraint
systems) sit in the REAR seat
properly restrained at all times
in a child restraint device or in a
seatbelt, whichever is appropri-
ate for the child’s age, height
and weight.
Secure ALL types of child
restraint systems (including for-
ward facing child restraint sys-
tem) in the REAR seats at all
times.
According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating
positions than in the front seat-
ing positions.
For instructions and precautions
concerning the child restraint
system, refer to P.64.
●NEVER INSTALL A CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM IN THE
FRONT SEAT. DOING SO
RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH TO THE CHILD BY
PLACING THE CHILD’S HEAD
TOO CLOSE TO THE SRS
AIRBAG.
●Never allow a child to stand up
or kneel on the front passen-
ger’s seat. The SRS airbag
deploys with considerable force
and can injure o r even kill the
child.
●Never hold a child on your lap or
in your arms. The SRS airbag
deploys with considerable force
and can injure o r even kill the
child.
●Never allow a child to do the fol-
lowing.
• Kneel on any passenger’s seat facing the side window
