the release button .
■Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lo ck the belt during a
sudden stop or on impact. It may also
lock if you lean forw ard too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend so that you can move around
fully.

anchor down while pressing the
release button .
2 Push the seat belt shoulder
anchor up while pressing the
release button .
Move the height adjuster up and down
as needed until you hear a click.
The pretensioners help the seat
belts to quickly restrain the occu -
pants by retracting the seat belts
when the vehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe frontal or
side collision.
The pretensioners do not activate in the
event of a minor frontal impact, a minor
side impact, a rear impact or a vehicle
rollover.
■Replacing the belt after the preten- sioner has been activated
If the vehicle is invol ved in multiple colli-
sions, the pretensioner will activate for the first collision, but will not activate for
the second or subsequent collisions.

“PASSENGER AIR BAG” indicator
The main SRS airbag system comp onents are shown above. The SRS air-
bag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. As the airbags
deploy, a chemical reaction in t he inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-
toxic gas to help restrain t he motion of the occupants.
■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc.,
may be sustained from SRS airbags, due to the extrem ely high speed
deployment (inflation) by hot gases.
●A loud noise and white powder will be
emitted.
●Parts of the airbag module (steering
wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator)
as well as the fron t seats, parts of the front and rear pillars, and roof side
rails, may be hot for several minutes.
The airbag itself m ay also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●The hybrid system will be stopped and
fuel supply to t he engine will be
stopped. ( →P.98)
●All of the doors will be unlocked.
( →P.206)
●Vehicles with Secondary Collision
Brake: The brakes and stop lights will be controlled au tomatically. (→P.439)
●The interior lights will turn on automat- ically. ( →P.466)
●The emergency flashers will turn on automatically. ( →P.560)
■SRS airbag deployment conditions
(SRS front airbags)
●The SRS front airb ags will deploy in
the event of an impact that exceeds
the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approxi -
mately 20-30 km/h [12-18 mph] frontal
collision with a fixed wall that does not move or deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be
considerably higher in the following situ -
ations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole,
which can move or deform on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an under -
ride collision, such as a collision in which the front of the vehicle under -
rides, or goes under , the bed of a
truck
●Depending on the type of collision, it is
possible that only the seat belt preten - sioners will activate.
■SRS airbag deployment conditions
(SRS side and cu rtain shield air-
bags)
●The SRS side and curtain shield air -
bags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold
level (the level of force corresponding
to the impact forc e produced by an approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehi -
cle colliding with the vehicle cabin
from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orientation at an approximate
speed of 20 -30 km/h [12 -18 mph]).
●Both SRS curtain shield airbags may
also deploy in the event of a severe
frontal collision.
■Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other
than a collision
The SRS front airbags and SRS curtain shield airbags may a lso deploy if a seri-
ous impact occurs to the underside of
your vehicle. Some e xamples are shown in the illustration.
●Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard surface
●Falling into or jumping over a deep hole
●Landing hard or falling

1-2. Child safety
For safety and security
WARNING
■When installing a child restraint
system
For safety reasons , always install a child restraint system in a rear seat. In
the event that the rear seat cannot be
used, the front seat can be used as long as the airbag manual on-off sys-
tem is set to “OFF”.
If the airbag manual on-off system is
left on, the strong impact of the airbag deployment (inflation) may cause
serious injury or even death.
■When a child restr aint system is
not installed on the front passen -
ger seat
Ensure that the airbag manual on-off
system is set to “ON”.
If it is left off, the airbag may not deploy in the even t of an accident,
which may result in serious injury or
even death.
Riding with children
Observe the following precau -
tions when children are in the
vehicle.
Use a child restraint system
appropriate for the child, until
the child becomes large
enough to properly wear the
vehicle’s seat belt.
 It is recommended that chil-
dren sit in the rear seats to
avoid accidental contact with
the shift lever, wiper switch,
etc.
 Use the rear door child-protec-
tor lock or the window lock
switch to avoi d children open-
ing the door while driving or
operating the power window
accidentally. ( →P.209, 293)
 Do not let small children oper-
ate equipment which may
catch or pinch body parts,
such as the power window,
hood, back door, seats, etc.

For safety and security
■Installing child restraint sys -
tem using a seat belt
Install the child restraint system in
accordance to the operation man -
ual enclosed with the child restraint
system.
If the child restraint system on hand
is not within the “universal” cate -
gory (or the necessary information
is not in the tabl e), refer to the
“Vehicle List” provided by the child
restraint system maker for various
possible installation positions, or
check the compatibility after asking
the retailer of the child seat.
( →P.55, 56)
1 If installing the child restraint
system to the front passenger
seat is unavoidable, refer to
P.52 for the front passenger
seat adjustment.
2 Adjust the seatback angle to the
most upright position. When
installing a forward-facing child
seat, if there is a gap between
the child seat a nd the seatback,
adjust the seatback angle until
good contact is achieved.
3 If the head restraint interferes
with the child restraint system
installation and the head
restraint can be removed,
remove the head restraint. Oth-
erwise, put the head restraint in
the upper most position.
( →P.276)
4 Run the seat belt through the
child restraint system and insert
the plate into the buckle. Make
sure that the belt is not twisted.
Securely fix the s eat belt to the
child restraint system in accor -
dance to the directions enclosed
with the child restraint system.
5 If your child restraint system is
not equipped with a lock-off (a
seat belt locking feature),
secure the child restraint system
using a locking clip.
6 After installing the child restraint
system, rock it back and forth to
ensure that it is installed

■Removing a child restraint
system installed with a seat
belt
Press the buckle release button
and fully retract the seat belt.

restraint system may spring up due to
the rebound of the seat cushion.
Release the buckle while holding down
the child restraint system.
Since the seat belt automatically reels
itself, slowly return it to the stowing
position.
■When installing a child restraint
system
You may need a locking clip to install the child restraint s ystem. Follow the
instructions provided by the manufac -
turer of the system. If your child restraint system does not provide a locking clip,
you can purchase the following item
from any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli -
able repairer: Locking clip for child
restraint system (Part No. 73119-22010)
■ISOFIX lower anchorages
(ISOFIX child restraint system)
Lower anchorages are provided for
the outboard rear seats. (Tags dis -
playing the location of the anchor -
ages are attached to the seats.)
WARNING
■When installing a child restraint
system
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●Do not allow children to play with
the seat belt. I f 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 cannot be unfastened,
scissors should be used to cut the
belt.
●Ensure that the bel t and plate are securely locked and the seat belt is
not twisted.
●Shake the child restraint system left
and right, and forward and back -
ward to ensure that it has been securely installed.
●After securing a ch ild restraint sys- tem, never adjust the seat.
●When a junior seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder
belt is positioned a cross the center
of the child’s shoulder. The belt should be kept away from the
child’s neck, but not so that it could
fall off the chil d’s shoulder.
●Follow all installation instructions
provided by the child restraint sys - tem manufacturer.
