ing position only.CAUTION!
Only when it is unavoidable should
a forward-facing child restraint sys- tem be used on the front seat. Al-ways move the seat as far back as

CAUTION!
Always make sure the shoulder
belt is positioned across the cen-
ter of child's shoulder. The belt
should be kept away from child's
neck, but not falling off child's
shoulder. Failure to do so could re-
duce the amount of protection in
an accident and increase the
chance of injury.
High-positioned lap belts and
loose-fitting belts both could in-
crease the chance of injury due to
sliding under the lap belt during an
accident. Keep the lap belt as lowon your hip bone as possible.
For child's safety, do not place the
shoulder belt under child's arm.
After inserting the tab, make sure
the tab and buckle are locked and
that the lap and shoulder portions
of the belt is not twisted.
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, it cannot protect your
child from injury. Contact your To-
yota dealer immediately. Do not
use the seat until the seat belt isfixed.
