Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)

Front seats

• Seat position fore/aft control switch
• Seatback angle control switch
• Seat cushion (front) angle control switch
• Vertical height control switch
• Lumbar support control switch (driver’s side only

Active head restraint

 

When the occupant’s lower back presses against the seatback during a rear-end collision, the head restraint moves slightly forward and upward to help reduce the risk of whiplash on the seat occupant.

• Active head restraint

   

Even small forces applied to the seatback may cause the head restraint to move. Pushing up a locked head restraint forcibly may make the inner structure of the head restraint appear. This does not indicate a problem.

CAUTION   Seat adjustment   Be careful that the seat does not hit passengers or luggage. Do not recline the seat more than necessary when the vehicle is in motion to reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt. If the seat is too reclined, during an accident the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply restraint forces directly to the abdomen or your neck may contact the shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury. Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpectedly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

Seat belts

Make sure that all occupants are wearing their seat belts before driving the vehicle.

•  Correct use of the seat belts

   

• Extend the shoulder belt so that it comes fully over the shoulder, but does not come into contact with the neck or slide off the shoulder.

Move the height adjuster up and down as needed until you hear a click.

Seat belt pretensioners (front and second outboard seats)

 

The pretensioner helps the seat belt to quickly restrain the occupant by retracting the seat belt when the vehicle is subjected to certain types of severe frontal collision or a vehicle rollover.

The pretensioner may not activate in the event of a minor frontal impact, a side impact or a rear impact.

Pre-collision seat belts (front seats of vehicles with pre-collision system)

 

• Brake-linked pre-collision system

If the system determines that emergency braking is being performed or the vehicle is out of control, the front seat belts will retract.

• Radar type pre-collision system

If the system determines that a collision is unavoidable, the front seat belts will retract before the collision.

• 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, and 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.

• When the third center seat belt cannot be extended

   

Put your fingers between the seat belt and the holder.

Pull the seat belt forcefully in the direction of the arrow and then release it to unlo

• Child seat belt usage

   

The seat belts of your vehicle were principally designed for persons of adult size.

• Use a child restraint system appropriately for the child, until the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
• When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt, follow the instructions on P. 76 regarding seat belt usage.

• Replacing the belt after 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 collisions.

• Seat belt extender

   

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.

CAUTION   Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident. Failing 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 properly. Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt for more than one person at the same time, including children. Children should be seated in the rear seat and always use a seat belt and/ or an appropriate child restraint system. Do not recline the seat any more than necessary to achieve a proper seating position. 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. Women who are pregnant should position the lap belt as low as possible over the hips in the same manner as other occupants. Extend the shoulder belt completely 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, sudden swerving or a collision.   People suffering illness   Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way.

 

CAUTION   When children are in the vehicle   Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If 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. Seat belt pretensioner s Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger’s seat. Doing so will disperse the passenger’s weight, which prevents the sensor from detecting the passenger’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 activated, 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. Adjustable shoulder anchor   Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of your shoulder. The belt should be kept away from your neck, but not falling off your shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce the amount of protection in an accident and cause death or serious injuries in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident. When using the third center seat belt   Do not use the third center seat belt with either buckle released. Fastening only one of the buckles may result in death or serious injury in case of sudden braking, sudden swerving or a collision.

 

CAUTION   Seat belt damage and wear   Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate or buckle to be jammed in the door. Inspect the seat belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose parts. Do not use a damaged seat belt until it is replaced. Damaged seat belts cannot protect an occupant from death or serious injury. Ensure that the belt and tab are locked and the belt is not twisted. If the seat belt does not function correctly, immediately contact your Toyota dealer. Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been involved in a serious accident, even if there is no obvious damage. Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of a seat belt. Have any necessary repairs carried out by your Toyota dealer. Inappropriate handling of the pretensioner may cause it to activate or operate improperly and may cause death or serious injury. Using a seat belt extender   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, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident. 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 button on the extender, not on the seat belt. This helps prevent damage to the vehicle interior and the extender itself.
