Make sure that all occupants are
wearing their seat belts before
driving the vehicle. (P.29)
Use a child restraint system
appropriate for the child until the child becomes large enough to
properly wear the vehicle’s seat
belt. (
P.54)
Make sure that you can see rear
of the vehicle clearly by adjust-
ing the inside rear view mirror (if
equipped), Digital Rear-view
Mirror (if equipped) and outside

( P.159, 160, 170)
WARNING
■For safe driving
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so m ay result in
death or serious injury.
●Do not adjust the position of the
driver’s seat while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver
to lose control of the vehicle.
●Do not place a cushion between
the driver or passenger and the
seatback.
A cushion may prevent correct
posture from being achieved,
and reduce the effectiveness of
the seat belt and head restraint.
●Do not place anything under the
front seats.
Objects placed under the front
seats may become jammed in
the seat tracks and stop the
seat from locking in place. This
may lead to an accident and the
adjustment mechanism may
also be damaged.
●Always observe the legal speed
limit when driving on public
roads.
●When driving over long dis-
tances, take regular breaks
before you start to feel tired.
Also, if you feel tired or sleepy
while driving, do not force your-
self to continue driving and take
a break immediately.

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 p roper 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. 3 0 )
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. 3 0 )
■When children are in the vehi-
cle
 P. 6 3
■Seat belt damage and wear
●Do not damage the seat belts
by allowing the belt, plate, or
buckle to be jammed in the
door.

1 To 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 .
If the seat belt cannot be pulled out
of the retractor, firmly pull the belt
and release it.
■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 the child restraint system
(CRS) firmly. To free the belt again,
fully retract the belt and then pull the
belt out once more. ( P. 5 4 )
■After using the seat belts on the
second seats (8-passenger
models)
Stow the seat belt buckle in the
pockets.
WARNING
●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.

7-passenger models
8-passenger models
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 s
ide impact or a
rear impact.
■Replacing the belt after the pre-
tensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple
collisions, the pretensioner will acti-
vate for the first collision, but will not
activate for the second or subse-
quent collisions.
■PCS-linked seat belt preten-
sioner control
If the PCS (Pre-Collision System)
determines that the possibility of a
collision with a vehi cle is high, the
seat belt pretensioners will be pre-
pared to operate.
WARNING
●Always make sure the shoulder
belt is positioned across the
center of the shoulder. The belt
should be kept away from the
neck, and should not fall off the
shoulder.
Seat belt pretensioners
(front and outboard sec-
ond seats)
WARNING
■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 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.
