nPregnant women
n People suffering illness
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way.
n Child seat bel
t usage
The seat belts of your vehicle were principally designed for persons of adult
size.
l Use
a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child
become large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat belt. ( →P. 9 8)
l When the
child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat
belt, follow the instructions on P. 5 2 regarding seat belt usage.
n Replacing the belt af
ter the pretensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate
for the first
collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent colli -
sions.
n Seat belt extender
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat
belt in the proper way. ( →P. 52)
Women who are pregnant should position
the lap belt as low as possible over the
hips in the same manner as other occu-
pants. Extend the shoulder belt com-
pletely over the shoulder and position the
belt across the chest. Avoid belt contact
over the rounding of the abdominal area.
If the seat belt is not worn properly, not
only a pregnant woman, but also the fetus
could suffer death or serious injury as a
result of sudden braking or a collision.
If your seat belts cannot be fastened
securely because they are not long
enough, a personalized seat belt
extender is available from your Toyota
dealer free of charge.

Before driving
CAUTION
nUsing a seat belt comfort guide
lAlways 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.
Failure to observe these precautions could reduce the effectiveness of the
seat belt in an accident, causing death or serious injury.
n Using a seat belt extender
lDo not wear the seat belt extender, if you can fasten the seat belt without
the extender.
l 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 a collision.
l 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
nWhen using a seat belt extender
When releasing the seat belt, press on the buckle release button on the
extender, not on the seat belt.
This helps prevent damage to the vehicle interior and the extender itself.
