CAUTION
Persons should ride in their seats
properly wearing their seat belts
whenever the vehicle is moving.
Otherwise, they are much more likely
to suffer serious bodily injury or
death in the event of sudden braking
or a collision.
When using the seat belts, observe
the following:
DUse the belt for only one person at
a time. Do not use a single belt for
two or more people—even children.
DAvoid reclining the seatback any
more than needed. The seat belts
provide maximum protection in a
frontal or rear collision when the
driver and the front passenger are
sitting up straight and well back in
the seats. If you are reclined, the
lap belt may slide past your hips
and apply restraint forces directly
to the abdomen or your neck may
contact the shoulder belt. In the
event of a frontal collision, the
more the seat is reclined, the great-
er the risk of death or serious inju-
ry.
DBe careful not to damage the belt
webbing or hardware. Take care that
they do not get caught or pinched
in the seat or doors.
DInspect the belt system periodically.
Check for cuts, fraying, and loose
parts. Damaged parts should be re-
placed. Do not disassemble or
modify the system.
DKeep the belts clean and dry. If
they need cleaning, use a mild soap
solution or lukewarm water. Never
use bleach, dye, or abrasive clean-
ers, or allow them to come into
contact with the belts—they may
severely weaken the belts. (See
“Cleaning the interior” on page 181
in Section 5.)
DReplace the belt assembly (includ-
ing bolts) if it has been used in a
severe impact. The entire assembly
should be replaced even if damage
is not obvious.

Adjust the seat as needed (driver ’s seat
only) and sit up straight and well back
in the seat. To fasten your belt, pull it
out of the retractor and insert the tab
into the buckle.
You will hear a click when the tab locks
into the buckle.
The seat belt length automatically adjusts
to your size and the seat position.
The retractor will lock the belt during a
sudden stop or on impact. It also may
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A
slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend, and you can move around freely.
If the seat belt cannot be pulled out of the
retractor, firmly pull the belt and release
it. You will then be able to smoothly pull
the belt out of the retractor.
CAUTION
DAfter inserting the tab, make sure
the tab and buckle are locked and
the belt is not twisted.
DDo not insert coins, clips, etc. in
the buckle as this may prevent you
from properly latching the tab and
buckle.
DIf the seat belt does not function
normally, immediately contact any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and
equipped professional. Do not use
the seat until the seat belt is fixed,
because it cannot protect an adult
occupant or your child from death
or serious injury.

CAUTION
Always make sure the shoulder belt
is positioned across the center of
your shoulder. The belt should be
kept away from your neck, but not
falling off your shoulder.Failure to
do so could reduce the amount of
protection in an accident and cause
death or serious injuries in a colli-
sion.

The driver ’s seat belt pretensioner is
designed to be activated in response to
a severe frontal impact.
When the airbag sensor detects the shock
of a severe frontal impact, the driver ’s
seat belt is quickly drawn back in by the
retractor so that the belt snugly restrains
the driver.
Collisionsoccurring at certain speeds and
angles may cause the seat belt preten-
sioner and SRS airbag not to operate all
together.This indicator comes on when the en-
gine switch is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion. It goes off after about 6 seconds.
This means the driver ’s seat belt pre-
tensioner is operating properly.
This warning light system monitors the
airbag sensor assembly, airbag sensor,
driver ’s seat belt pretensioner assembly,
inflator, interconnecting wiring and power
sources. (For details, see “Service remind-
er indicators and warning buzzer” on page
73 in Section 1−5.)

—Driver’s seat belt
pretensioner

36SEATS, SEAT BELTS, STEERING WHEEL AND MIRRORS
The driver ’s seat belt pretensionersystem
mainly consists of the following compo-
nents and their locations are shown in the
illustration.
1. SRS warning light
2. Airbag sensor
3. Driver ’s seat belt pretensioner assem-
bly
4. Airbag sensor assembly
The driver ’s seat belt pretensioner is con-
trolled by the airbag sensor assembly. The
airbag sensor assembly consists of a saf-
ing sensor and airbag sensor.
When the driver ’s seat belt pretensioner is
activated, an operating noise may be
heard and a small amount of smoke−like
gas may be released. This gas is harm-
less and does not indicate that a fire is
occurring.
Once the driver ’s seat belt pretensioner
has been activated, the seat belt retractor
remains locked.
If the vehicle is involved in multiple colli-
sions, the pretensioner will activate for the
first collision, but will not activate for the
second or subsequent collisions.
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of injury in the event
of sudden braking or an accident.
Failure to do so may cause death or
serious injury.
DIf the pretensioner has activated,
the SRS warning light will come on.
In that case, the seat belt cannot
be used again and must be re-
placed at any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
DDo not modify, remove, strike or
open the seat belt pretensioner as-
semblies, airbag sensor or sur-
rounding area or wiring. Consult
any authorized Toyota dealer or re-
pairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional about any re-
pair and modification.

pretensioner. Contact any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional, as
soon as possible to service the vehicle.
DThe light does not come on when the
engine switch is turned to the “ON”
position or remains on for more than
6 seconds or flashes.

In the following cases, contact any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional,
as soon as possible:
DThe front of the vehicle (shaded in the
illustration) was involved in an accident
that was not severe enough to cause
the driver ’s seat belt pretensioner to
operate.
DThe driver ’s seat belt pretensioner as-
sembly or surrounding area is
scratched, cracked, or otherwise dama-
ged.
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) airbag is designed to provide fur-
ther protection for the driver in addition
to the primary safety protection pro-
vided by the seat belt.
In response to a severe frontal impact,
the SRS airbag works together with the
seat belt to help reduce injury by inflating.
The SRS airbag helps to reduce injuries
mainly to the driver ’s head or chest
caused by directly hitting the steering
wheel.
Be sure to wear your seat belt properly.
CAUTION
The driver who is too close to the
steering wheel during airbag deploy-
ment can be killed or seriously in-
jured. Toyota strongly recommends
that:
DThe driver sit as far back as pos-
sible from the steering wheel while
still maintaining control of the ve-
hicle.
DAll vehicle occupants must be prop-
erly restrained using the available
seat belts.
