Child seat belt usage
The seat belts of your vehicle were principally designed for persons of adult
size.
●
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child
becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt. (
→
P. 124)
●
When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s
seat belt, follow the instructions on P. 90 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 colli-
sions.
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 once, including children.
●
Toyota recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and always
use a seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.
●
To achieve a proper 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.
●
When using the seat belts of the second outside seats and third seats,
ensure that the seat belts are not in the seat belt hangers. (
