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. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend so that you can move around fully.

The seat belts of your vehicle are principally designed for persons of adult
size.

becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat belt. (P. 130)

belt, follow the instructions on P. 69 regarding seat belt usage.

The following four components operate simultaneously.
• Seat belt pretensioner for driver
• Seat belt pretensioner for front passenger
• SRS frontal airbag for driver
• SRS frontal airbag for front passenger
Pretensioners are designed to function on a one-time-only basis. In the
event that a pretensioner is activated, both the driver’s and front passen-
ger’s seat belt retractor assemblies must be replaced only by any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional. When replacing seat belt retractor assemblies, use only

sional as soon as possible.
