Check for cuts, fraying, and loose parts. Do not use a damaged seat belt until it is replaced.

Have any necessary repairs carried out by your Toyota dealer. Inappropriate handling of the pretensioner may prevent it from operating properly resulting in death or serious injury. n When using the rear center seat belt Do not use the rear 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 or a collision. n Using a seat belt comfort guide l Make sure the belt is not twisted and that it lies flat. The elastic cord must be behind the belt and the guide must be on the front. l To reduce the chance of injury in case of an accident or a sudden stop while driving, remove and store the comfort guide in its pocket when it is not in use. 56
