Essential Safety Equipment
When the seat belt is fastened, it will always be in the emergency
locking mode.
In the emergency locking mode, the belt remains comfortable on the
occupant and the retractor will lock in position during a collision.
If the belt is locked and cannot be pulled out, retract the belt once, and
then try pulling it out slowly. If this fails, pull the belt strongly one time
and loosen, then pull it out again slowly.
Seat Belt with Automatic Locking Mode:
When the seat belt is fastened, it will always be in the emergency
locking mode until it is switched to automatic locking mode by pulling
it all the way out to its full length. If the belt feels tight and hinders
comfortable movement while the vehicle is stopped or in motion, it
may be in the automatic locking mode because the belt has been
pulled too far out. To return the belt to the more comfortable emer-
gency locking mode, wait until the vehicle has stopped in a safe, level
area, retract the belt fully to convert it back to emergency locking
mode and then extend it around you again.
Always use the automatic locking mode to keep the child-restraint
system from shifting to an unsafe position in the event of an accident.
To enable seat belt automatic locking mode, pull it all the way out and
connect it as instructed on the child-restraint system. It will retract
down to the child-restraint system and stay locked on it. See the sec-
tion on child restraint (→P. 4 1 ) .

Essential Safety Equipment
Seat Belt Extender
This extender will be only for you and for the particular vehicle and
seat. Even if it plugs into other seat belts, it may not hold in the critical
moment of a crash.
When ordering an extender, only order one that provides the neces-
sary additional length to fasten the seat belt properly.
Please contact your Toyota Dealer for more information.
When not in use, remove the seat belt extender and store it in the vehicle. If
the seat belt extender is left connected, the seat belt extender might get dam-
aged as it will not retract with the rest of the seat belt and can easily fall out of
the door when not in use and be damaged. In addition, the seat belt warning
light will not illuminate and function properly.
If your seat belt is not long enough, even when fully extended, a
seat belt extender may be available to you at no charge from
your Toyota Dealer.
WARNING
■Do not use a seat belt extender unless it is necessary
Using a seat belt extender when not necessary is dangerous. The seat belt
will be too long and not fit properly. In an accident, the seat belt will not pro-
vide adequate protection and you could be seriously injured. Only use the
extender when it is required to fasten the seat belt properly.
■ Do not use an improper extender
Using a seat belt extender that is for another person or a different vehicle or
seat is dangerous. The seat belt will not provide adequate protection and
the user could be seriously injured in an accident. Only use the extender
provided for you and for the particular vehicle and seat. NEVER use the
extender in a different vehicle or seat. If you sell your Toyota, do not leave
your seat belt extender in the vehicle. It could be used accidentally by the
new owner of the vehicle. After removing the seat belt extender, discard it.
Never use the seat belt extender in any other vehicle you may own in the
future.

1-2. Seat Belt Systems
WARNING
■Do not use an extender that is too long
Using an extender that is too long is dangerous. The seat belt will not fit
properly. In an accident, the seat belt will not provide adequate protection
and you could be seriously injured. Do not use the extender or choose one
shorter in length if the distance between the extender’s buckle and the cen-
ter of the user’s body is less than 6 in. (150 mm).
■ Do not leave a seat belt extender connected to the buckle
Leaving a seat belt extender connected to the buckle without using the seat
belt is dangerous. When the seat belt extender is connected to the driver’s
seat belt buckle (or front passenger’s seat belt buckle), the SRS driver’s (or
front passenger’s) air bag system will determine that the driver (or front pas-
senger) is wearing the seat belt even if the driver (or front passenger) is not
wearing it. This condition could cause the driver’s (or front passenger’s) air
bag to not activate correctly and result in death or serious injury in the event
of collision. Always wear the seat belt with the seat belt extender.
■ Do not use the seat belt extender wh en installing a child-restraint sys-
tem on the front or rear passenger seat
Using a seat belt extender to fasten a child-restraint system on any seat is
dangerous. Always follow the child-restraint system manufacturer’s installa-
tion instructions and never use a seat belt extender.

Follow these instructions when using a child-restraint system, unless
you are attaching a LATCH-equipped child-restraint system to the rear
LATCH lower anchors. Refer to “Using LATCH Lower Anchor”
(→P. 5 7 ) .
Make sure the seatback is securely latched by pushing it back until
it is fully locked.

belt routing instructions.
To get the retractor into the
automatic locking mode, pull
the shoulder belt portion of the
seat belt until the entire length
of the belt is out of the retractor.
WARNING
■ Always install the head restraint and adjust it to the appropriate posi-
tion after removing the child-restraint system
Driving with the head restraint removed is dangerous as impact to the occu-
pant’s head cannot be prevented during emergency braking or in a collision,
which could result in a serious accident, injury or death.
Refer to Head Restraints on P. 27.
