44Your 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 10 mm (0.4 in.) spacer. Note that
the bolts accompanying many child re-
straint systems are not metric. You can
damage the anchor nuts on your vehicle
if you force bolts with different thread into
the anchor nuts.
For instructions about how to install the
anchor bracket, see (C) 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)
