1996 TOYOTA CELICA Owners Manual

Coupe and liftback onlyÐYour vehicle
has anchors for securing the top strap of
a child restraint system. The anchor nuts
are welded beneath the sheet metal to
permit installation of an anchor bracket for
a child restraint system.
To install an anchor bracket, use an 8 mm
X 30 mm X 1.25 mm coarse thread metric
bolt and 15 mm (0.6 in.) spacer. Note that
the bolts accompanying many child re-
straint systems are not metric. You can
damage the anchor nuts on our vehicle if
you force bolts with different thread into
the anchor nuts.
For instructions about how to install the
anchor bracket, see (B) TOP STRAP
ANCHORS AND LOCATIONSº.
If your child restraint system does not pro-
vide any of the necessary parts, you can
purchase the following items from your
Toyota dealer.
* CRS installation kit (Part No. 04731-22012)
Ðcontains 1 bolt, 3 types of spacers and
1 locking clip.
* Bolt (Part No. 91511-60830)
(A) INSTALLATION ON REAR SEAT
When installing a rear-facing child re-
straint system, follow the same procedure
as when installing a forward-facing child
restraint system.
CAUTION!
Do not use a rear-facing child re-
straint system in the rear seat if it in-
terferes with the lock mechanism of
the front seats. This can cause se-
vere injury to the child and front pas-
senger in case of sudden braking or
a collision.
1. Fasten the lap and shoulder belt over
the child restraint system following the in-
structions provided by its manufacturer.
Keep the lap portion of the belt tight.
CAUTION!

After inserting the tab, make sure
the tab and buckle are locked.

Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in
the buckle as this may prevent you
from properly latching the tab and
buckle.

If the seat belt does not function
normally, immediately contact
your Toyota dealer.

2. Fully extend the shoulder belt to put it
in the lock mode.3. Place the shoulder belt between the ve-
hicle seatback and the child restraint sys-

shoulder belt retract as far as it will go
while firmly pushing down the child re-
straint system.4. Coupe and liftback only- If your child re-
straint system requires the use of a top
strap, latch the hook onto the anchor
bracket and tighten the top strap.

(C) INSTALLATION ON FRONT SEAT
Do not use a child restraint system which
requires use of a top strap in the front
seat. A child restraint system which re-
quires use of a top strap should only be
installed in the rear seat.
CAUTION!

Do not use a rear-facing child re-
straint system in the front seat be-
cause the force of the rapid infla-
tion of the passenger airbag can
cause severe injury to the child.
Vehicles with a passenger airbag
display a caution label on the pas-
senger side instrument panel as
shown above to remind you not to
install a rear-facing child restraint
system on the front seat.
