Fastening only one of the buckles may result in death or serious injury in case of sudden braking or a collision. 1 Before driving n Seat belt damage and wear l Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate or buckle to be jammed in the door. l Inspect the seat belt system periodically.

If the seat belt does not function correctly, immediately contact your Toyota dealer. l Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been involved in a serious accident, even if there is no obvious damage. l 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. 77
