1To fasten the seat belt, push 
the plate into the buckle until  a click sound is heard.
2 To release the seat belt, 
press the release button  .
■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.
■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.
1 Push the seat belt shoulder 
anchor down while pressing 
the release button  .
2 Push the seat belt shoulder 
anchor up.

WA R N I N G
●Do not wear the seat belt 
extender if you can fasten the 
seat belt without the extender.
●Do not use the seat belt 
extender when installing a child 
restraint system because the 
belt will not securely hold the 
child restraint system, increas-
ing the risk of  death or serious 
injury in the event of an acci-
dent.
●The personalized extender may 
not be safe on another vehicle, 
when used by another person, 
or at a different seating position 
other than the one originally 
intended.
NOTICE
■When using a seat belt 
extender
When releasing the seat belt, 
press on the buckle release but-
ton on the extender, not on the 
seat belt. 
This helps prevent damage to the 
vehicle interior and the extender 
itself.

click.
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 or side collision or a vehi-
cle rollover.
The pretensioners do not activate 
in the event of a minor frontal 
impact, a minor side impact or a 
rear impact.
■Replacing the belt after the pre-
tensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is in volved in multiple 
collisions, the pret ensioner will acti- vate for the first collision, but will not 
activate for the 
second or subse-
quent collisions.
WA R N I N G
■Adjustable shoulder anchor
Always make sure the shoulder 
belt is positioned across the cen-
ter of your shoulder. The belt 
should be kept away from your 
neck, but not falling off your shoul-
der. Failure to do so could reduce 
the amount of protection in an 
accident and cause death or seri-
ous injuries in the event of a sud-
den stop, sudden swerve or 
accident.
Seat belt pretensioners 
(front seats)
WA R N I N G
■Seat belt pretensioners
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.
●Do not place anything, such as 
a cushion, on the front passen-
ger’s seat.
Doing so will disperse the pas-
senger’s weight, which prevents 
the sensor from detecting the 
passenger’s weight properly. As 
a result, the seat belt preten-
sioner for the fr ont 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.

Airbag sensor assembly
Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed 
based on the US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The 
airbag sensor assembly (ECU) cont rols airbag deployment based on 
information obtained from the sensors etc. shown in the system 
components diagram above. This in formation includes crash sever-
ity and occupant information. As the airbags deploy, a chemical  
reaction in the inflators quickly  fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to 
help restrain the motion of the occupants.
■If the SRS airbags deploy 
(inflate)
●Slight abrasions,  burns, bruising 
etc., may be sustained from SRS 
airbags, due to the extremely high 
speed deployment (inflation) by 
hot gases.
●A loud noise and white powder will 
be emitted.
●Parts of the airbag module (steer-
ing wheel hub, airbag cover and 
inflator) as well as the front seats, 
parts of the front  and rear pillars, 
and roof side rails, may be hot for 
several minutes. T he airbag itself 
may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●The brakes and st op lights will be 
controlled automatically. ( P.362)
●The interior lights will turn on auto-
matically. ( P.520)
●The emergency flashers will turn 
on automatically. ( P.612)
●Fuel supply to the engine will be 
stopped. (P.621)
●For Safety Connect subscribers, if 
any of the followin g situations  occur, the system is designed to 
send an emergency call to the 
response center, notifying them of 
the vehicle’s location (without 
needing to push the “SOS” button) 
and an agent will attempt to speak 
with the occupants to ascertain 
the level of emergency and assis-
tance required. If the occupants 
are unable to communicate, the 
agent automatically treats the call 
as an emergency and helps to dis-
patch the necessary emergency 
services. (

• An SRS airbag is deployed.
• A seat belt pretensioner is acti- vated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe  rear-end collision.
■SRS airbag deployment condi-
tions (SRS front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy 
in the event of an impact that 
exceeds the set  threshold level 
(the level of forc e corresponding 
to an approximately 12-18 mph 
[20-30 km/h]  frontal collision with 
a fixed wall that does not move or 
deform).

Front passenger  occupant classification system
Your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger occupant 
classification system. This system detects the conditions of 
the front passenger seat and activates or deactivates the front  
passenger airbag and seat cushion airbag in the front passen-
ger side.

■Front passenger occupant 
classification system precau-
tions
Observe the following precautions 
regarding the front passenger 
occupant classification system.
Failure to do so may cause death 
or serious injury.
●Wear the seat belt properly.
●Make sure the front passenger’s 
seat belt plate has not been left 
inserted into the buckle before 
someone sits in the front pas-
senger seat.

●Make sure the “AIR BAG OFF” 
indicator light is not illuminated 
when using the seat belt 
extender for the front passenger 
seat. If the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-
cator light is illuminated, discon-
nect the extender tongue from 
the seat belt buckle, and recon-
nect the seat belt. Reconnect 
the seat belt extender after 
making sure the “AIR BAG ON” 
indicator light is illuminated. If 
you use the seat belt extender 
while the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-
cator light is illuminated, the 
SRS airbags for the front pas-
senger will not activate, which 
could cause death or serious 
injury in the ev ent of a collision.
●D o  n o t  a p p l y  a  h e a v y  l o a d  t o  t h e  
front passenger seat or equip-
ment (e.g. seatback pocket).
●Do not put weight on the front 
passenger seat by putting your 
hands or feet on the front pas-
senger seat seatback from the 
rear passenger seat.
●Do not let a rea r passenger lift 
the front passenger seat with 
their feet or press on the seat-
back with their legs.
●Do not put objec ts under the 
front passenger seat.
●Do not recline t he front passen-
ger seatback so far that it 
touches a rear seat. This may 
cause the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-
cator light to be  illuminated, 
which indicates that the SRS 
airbags for the front passenger 
will not activate in the event of a 
severe accident. If the seatback 
touches the rear seat, return the 
seatback to a pos ition where it 
does not touch the rear seat. 
Keep the front passenger seat-
back as upright as possible 
when the vehicle is moving. 
Reclining the seatback exces-
sively may lessen the effective-
ness of the seat belt system.
●If an adult sits i n the front pas-
senger seat, the “AIR BAG ON” 
indicator light i s illuminated. If 
the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator is 
illuminated, ask  the passenger 
to sit up straight, well back in 
the seat, feet on the floor, and 
with the seat belt worn correctly. 
If the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator 
still remains illumi nated, either 
ask the passenger to move to 
the rear seat, or if that is not 
possible, move  the front pas-
senger seat fully rearward.
●When it is unavoidable to install 
a forward-facing c hild restraint 
system on the front passenger 
seat, install the child restraint 
system on the front passenger 
seat in the proper order. 
(  P. 5 3 )
●Do not modify or remove the 
front seats.
●Do not kick the  front passenger 
seat or subject it to severe 
impact. Otherwise, the SRS 
warning light m ay come on to 
indicate a malfu nction of the 
front passenger occupant clas-
sification system. In this case, 
contact your Toyota dealer 
immediately.

●Child restraint systems installed 
on the rear seat should not con-
tact the front seatbacks.
●Do not use a seat accessory, 
such as a cushion and seat 
cover, that covers the seat 
cushion surface.
●Do not modify or replace the 
upholstery of the front seat.
●Adjust the front passenger seat 
so that the head restraint does 
not touch the ceiling. If the head 
restraint is left in contact with 
the ceiling, the system may not 
detect the front passenger prop-
erly, leading to improper opera-
tion of the airbags.
