Seatbelt replacement. Please contact your
Toyota dealer for seatbelt replacement or in-
stallation.
CAUTION
D
Persons must wear seatbelts when-
ever the vehicle is moving. Otherwise,
they are much more likely to suffer
serious bodily injury or death during
sudden braking or a collision.
D
When wearing a seatbelt, always ob-
serve the following:
D
Each person must wear a separate
seatbelt.
D
Do not recline the seatback any
more than needed. In a frontal colli-
sion, the more the seat is reclined,
the greater the risk of death or seri-
ous injury.
D
Seatbelts provide maximum protec-
tion in a frontal or rear collision
when the driver and passengers are
sitting up straight and well back in
their seats. If you are reclined, the
lap belt may slide past your hips
and apply forces directly to the ab-
domen, or your neck may contact
the shoulder belt.
D Be careful not to damage the belt web-
bing or hardware. Always take care
that they do not get caught or pinched
in the seat or doors.
D
Inspect the belt system periodically.
Check for cuts, fraying, and loose
parts. Damaged parts should be re-
placed. Do not disassemble or modify
the system.
D
Keep the belts clean and dry. If they
need cleaning, use a mild soap solu-
tion of lukewarm water. Never use
bleach, dye, or abrasive cleaners, or
allow them to come into contact with
the belts as they may severely weaken
the belts. See “Cleaning the interior”
on page 241 in Section 5.
D
Replace the belt assembly (including
bolts) if it has been used in a severe
impact. The entire assembly should
be replaced if damage is not obvious.
To ensure proper placement and oper-
ations your Toyota dealer should
undertake this installation.
CAUTION
WARNING: Seatbelts are designed to
bear upon the bony structure of the
body, and should be worn low across the
front of the pelvis or the pelvis, chest
and shoulders, as applicable; wearing
the lap section of the belt across the ab-
dominal area must be avoided.
Seatbelts should be adjusted as firmly
as possible, consistent with comfort, to
provide the protection for which they
have been designed. A slack belt will
greatly reduce the protection afforded
to the wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid contami-
nation of the webbing with polishes, oils
and chemicals, and particularly battery
acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out
using mild soap and water. The belt
should be replaced if webbing becomes
frayed, contaminated or damaged.
