safety. However, they can only
offer protection when adjusted
correctly.

Always make sure that safety
belts are being worn by the

General information

Safety information

WARNING

Use of a safety belt to buckle

more than one person will poten-

tially defeat the ability of the

safety belt to serve its protective

function. There is a risk of injuries

or danger to life. Do not allow

more than one person to wear a

single safety belt. Infants and chil-

dren are not allowed on an occu-

pant's lap, but must be

transported and secured in desig-

nated child restraint systems.

WARNING

The efficacy of safety gear, includ-

ing safety belts, can be limited or

lost when safety belts are fas-

tened incorrectly. An incorrectly

fastened safety belt can cause

additional injuries, for instance in

the event of an accident or during

braking and evasive maneuvers.

There is a risk of injuries or dan-

ger to life. Make sure that all

occupants are wearing safety

belts correctly.

WARNING

The efficacy of safety gear, includ-

ing safety belts, may not be fully

functional or fail in the following

situations:

• The safety belts or safety belt

buckles are damaged, soiled, or

changed in any other way.

• Belt tensioners or belt retractors

were modified.

102

4-1. CONTROLS

Supra Owner’s Manual_U (from Mar. ’20

• Wear the safety belt twist-free

and tight to your body over
your lap and shoulders.

• Wear the safety belt deep on

your hips over your lap. The
safety belt may not press on
your stomach.

• Do not rub the safety belt

against sharp edges, or guide
it or jam it in across hard or
fragile objects.

• Avoid thick clothing.
• Re-tighten the safety belt fre-

quently upward around your
upper body.

Having a correct driving posture
is essential for safe driving.

Maintaining a correct driving
posture not only helps reduce
fatigue while driving, but helps
ensure that the occupant protec-
tion devices, such as the seat
belts and airbags, will operate
correctly in a collision, reducing
the impact to the occupants.

The most basic occupant pro-
tection device is the seat belt.
The airbags are designed to
supplement the seat belts, not
be used in place of them. Wear-
ing the seat belt correctly
ensures that the occupants are
securely held in the seats and
helps prevent them from con-
tacting interior parts or being
thrown from the vehicle in a col-
lision. Therefore, it is necessary
for all occupants to wear their
seat belt. If a seat belt is worn
improperly, its effectiveness as
an occupant protection device
will be severely reduced. Pay
attention to the following to
ensure the correct driving pos-
ture and use of the seat belts.

WARNING

Safety belts can be imperceptibly

damaged in the event of an acci-

dent. There is a risk of injuries or

danger to life. Do not modify

safety belts, safety belt buckles,

belt tensioners, belt retractors or

belt anchors and keep them

clean. Have the safety belts

checked after an accident at the

your Toyota dealer.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of sliding under

the lap belt during a collision, do

not recline the seat more than

necessary. If the seat is too

reclined, the lap belt may slide

past the hips and apply restraint

forces directly to the abdomen, or

your neck may contact the shoul-

der belt, increasing the risk of

death or serious injury in the

event of an accident. Adjustments

should not be made while driving

as the seat may unexpectedly

move and cause the driver to lose

control of the vehicle.

WARNING

Make sure that all passengers

wear their seat belt correctly.

Use of seat belts may be manda-

tory under local laws and regula-

tions. If a seat belt is not worn

properly, an occupant may con-

tact interior parts or be thrown

from the vehicle in the case of

sudden braking or a collision, pos-

sibly resulting in death or serious

injury. Also, if an occupant has an

incorrect riding posture, the air-

bags will be ineffectual as occu-

pant protection devices and may

actually cause injuries when they

deploy.

WARNING

Correct use of the seat belts when

pregnant:

Pregnant women must wear a

seat belt. Consult your physician

for advice on correct way to wear

a seat belt. Position the lap belt as

low as possible over the hips and

the shoulder belt completely over

the shoulder, passing the center

of the chest, so that the seat belt

does not apply any pressure to

the abdomen.

If a situation is detected in
which the stopping time is
expected to be very short, the
engine is not switched off
