Toyota Supra (1998 year). Instruction — part 3

SUPRA (U)

—Seat belt extender

If your seat belt cannot be fastened secure-

ly because it is not long enough, a person-

alized seat belt extender is available from

your Toyota dealer free of charge.

Please contact your local Toyota dealer so

that the dealer can order the proper re-

quired length for the extender. Bring the

heaviest coat you expect to wear for prop-

er measurement and selection of length.

Additional ordering information is available

at your Toyota dealer.

SRS driver and front

passenger airbags

CAUTION

A driver or front passenger too close

to the steering wheel or dashboard

during airbag deployment can be

killed or seriously injured. Toyota

strongly recommends that:

D The driver sit as far back as pos-

sible from the steering wheel while

still maintaining control of the ve-

hicle.

as possible from the dashboard.

Be sure to wear your seat belt.

SUPRA (U)

However, this threshold velocity will be

considerably higher if the vehicle strikes

an object, such as a parked vehicle or

sign pole, which can move or deform on

impact, or if it is involved in an underride

collision

(e.g. a collision in which the nose

of the vehicle ”underrides”, or goes under,

the bed of a truck).

It is possible with collision severity at the

marginal level of airbag sensor detection

and activation that only one of your ve-

hicle’s two airbags will deploy.

For the safety of all occupants, be sure

to always wear seat belts.

if it is involved in a low−speed frontal

collision.

There may be the case that the SRS air-

bags will not activate with such an impact

in which the occupant wearing the seat

belt correctly would not get serious injury.

The SRS airbags will deploy if the severi-

ty of the impact is above the designed

If the severity of the impact is below the
