Other information:
Seat belts help to decrease the possibility of severe injury
during accidents and sudden stops. Toyota recommends that
the driver and all passengers always wear seat belts.
All of the seat belt retractors are designed to keep the lap/shoulder
belts out of the way when not in use...
Road chemicals and salt used for ice and snow removal and solvents
used for dust control may collect on the underbody. If not removed,
they will speed up rusting and deterioration of such underbody parts
as fuel lines, frame, floor pan, and exhaust system, even though these
parts may be coated with anti-corrosive material...

The front seat belt pretensioners are designed to deploy in moderate or
severe frontal, near frontal collisions.
In addition, the pretensioners operate when a side collision or a rollover
accident is detected. The pretensioners operate differently
depending on what types of air bags are equipped. For more details
about the seat belt pretensioner operation, refer to the SRS Air Bag
Deployment Criteria.
