ation manual enclosed with  
the restraint system.  
Use a child restraint system  
until the child becomes large  
enough to properly wear the  
vehicle’s seat belt.  
Choose a child restraint sys-

and is appropriate to the age  
and size of the child.

WARNING  
the child restraint system, instal-  
lation may be difficult or impos-  
sible. In those cases, check  
whether the child restraint sys-  
tem is suitable for installment in  
the vehicle. (P.55) Be sure to  
install and observe the usage  
rules after carefully reading the  
child restraint system fixing  
method in this manual, as well  
as the operation manual  
For effective protection in auto-  
mobile accidents and sudden  
stops, a child must be properly  
restrained, using a seat belt or  
child restraint system which is  
correctly installed. For installa-  
tion details, refer to the opera-  
tion manual enclosed with the  
child restraint system. General  
installation instruction is pro-  
vided in this manual.

enclosed with the child restraint  
system.  
Toyota strongly urges the use of  
a proper child restraint system  
that conforms to the weight and  
size of the child, installed on the  
rear seat. According to accident  
statistics, the child is safer when  
properly restrained in the rear  
seat than in the front seat.  
Except for Puerto Rico: Make  
sure you have complied with all  
installation instructions provided  
with the child restraint system  
manufacturer and that the sys-  
tem is properly secured.  
Keep the child restraint system  
properly secured on the seat  
even if it is not in use. Do not  
store the child restraint system  
unsecured in the passenger  
compartment.  
Holding a child in your or some-  
one else’s arms is not a substi-  
tute for a child restraint system.  
In an accident, the child can be  
crushed against the windshield  
or between the holder and the  
interior of the vehicle.  
If it is necessary to detach the  
child restraint system, remove it  
from the vehicle or store it  
securely in the trunk.  
Handling the child restraint  
system  
If the child restraint system is not  
properly fixed in place, the child or  
other passengers may be seri-  
ously injured or even killed in the  
event of sudden braking, sudden  
swerving, or an accident.  
If the vehicle were to receive a  
strong impact from an accident,  
etc., it is possible that the child  
restraint system has damage  
that is not readily visible. In  
such cases, do not reuse the  
restraint system.

A forward-facing child restraint  
system may be installed on the  
front passenger seat only when  
it is unavoidable. When install-  
ing a forward-facing child  
restraint system on the front  
passenger seat, adjust the seat-  
back angle to the most upright  
position, move the seat to the  
rearmost position, and raise the  
seat to the upper most position,  
even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-  
cator light is illuminated. If the  
head restraint interferes with the  
child restraint system installa-  
tion and the head restraint can  
be removed, remove the head  
restraint.  
WARNING  
When using a child restraint  
system  
Observe the following precau-  
tions.  
Failure to do so may result in  
death or serious injury.  
Never install a rear-facing child  
restraint system on the front  
passenger seat even if the “AIR  
BAG OFF” indicator light is illu-  
minated. In the event of an acci-  
dent, the force of the rapid  
inflation of the front passenger  
airbag can cause death or seri-  
ous injury to the child if the  
rear-facing child restraint sys-  
tem is installed on the front pas-  
senger seat.  
Do not allow the child to lean  
his/her head or any part of  
his/her body against the door or  
the area of the seat, front or rear  
pillars, or roof side rails from  
which the SRS side airbags or  
SRS curtain shield airbags  
deploy even if the child is  
seated in the child restraint sys-  
tem. It is dangerous if the SRS  
side and curtain shield airbags  
inflate, and the impact could  
cause death or serious injury to  
the child.  
A forward-facing child restraint  
system may be installed on the  
front passenger seat only when  
it is unavoidable. A child  
restraint system that requires a  
top tether strap should not be  
used in the front passenger seat  
since there is no top tether strap  
anchor for the front passenger  
seat.

When securing some types of  
child restraint systems in rear  
seat, it may not be possible to  
properly use the seat belts in  
positions next to the child  
restraint without interfering with  
it or affecting seat belt effective-  
ness. Be sure your seat belt fits  
snugly across your shoulder and  
low on your hips. If it does not,  
or if it interferes with the child  
restraint, move to a different  
position. Failure to do so may  
result in death or serious injury.  
When installing a junior seat,  
if the child in your child  
restraint system is in a very  
upright position, adjust the  
seatback angle to the most  
comfortable position. And if  
the seat belt shoulder anchor  
is ahead of the child seat belt  
guide, move the seat cushion  
forward.  
When installing a child  
restraint in the rear seats,  
adjust the front seat so that it  
does not interfere with the  
child or child restraint system.  
When installing a child seat  
with support base, if the child  
seat interferes with the seat-  
back when latching it into the  
support base, adjust the seat-  
back rearward until there is no  
interference.  
Child restraint system  
fixed with a seat belt  
A child restraint system for a  
small child or baby must itself be  
properly restrained on the seat  
with the lap portion of the  
lap/shoulder belt.  
If the seat belt shoulder

WARNING  
When installing a booster  
seat  
Do not allow children to play  
with the seat belt. If the seat belt  
becomes twisted around a  
child’s neck, it may lead to  
choking or other serious injuries  
that could result in death.  
If this occurs and the buckle  
cannot be unfastened, scissors  
should be used to cut the belt.  
To prevent the belt from going into  
ALR lock mode, do not fully  
extend the shoulder belt. ALR  
mode causes the belt to tighten  
only. This could cause injury or  
discomfort to the child. (P.29)  
Do not use a seat belt  
extender  
If a seat belt extender is used  
when installing a child restraint  
system, the seat belt will not  
securely hold the child restraint  
system, which could cause death  
or serious injury to the child or  
other passengers in the event of  
sudden braking, sudden swerv-  
ing or an accident.  
Ensure that the belt and plate  
are securely locked and the  
seat belt is not twisted.  
Shake the child restraint system  
left and right, and forward and  
backward to ensure that it has  
been securely installed.  
After securing a child restraint  
system, never adjust the seat.

one anchorage may not be  
strong enough to hold two child

snugly across your shoulder  
and low on your hips. If it does  
not, or if it interferes with the  
child restraint, move to a differ-  
ent position. Failure to do so  
may result in death or serious  
injury.
