ÐVehicles with front passenger airbag
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 may
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.

When using a forward-facing child
restraint system, move the seat as
far back as possible.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.
