CAUTION!
Never install a rea r-facing child re-
straint system on the front seat. In
the event of an accident, the force
of the rapid inflation of the airbag
can cause severe injury if a rear-
facing child restraint system is
installed on the front seat.
Unless it is unavoidable, do not
install a forward-facing child re-
straint system on the front seat.
If you must install a forward-fac-
ing child restraint system on the
front seat, move the seat as far back as possible.
After installing the child restraintsystem, make sure it is secured in
place following the manufactur-
er's instructions. If it is not re-
strained securely, it can cause in-
jury to the child in the event of a
sudden stop or accident. When not using the child restraint system, keep it secured with the seat belt. This
will
prevent it from injuring passengers in theevent of a sudden stop or accident.
Your 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 a 10 mm (0.4 in.) spacer. Note that the bolts accompanying many child
restraint 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 ÐTop 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) -contains 1
bolt, 3 types of spacers and 1 locking clip.

CAUTION!
Never 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. Ve-
hicles with a passenger airbag dis- play a caution label on the passen-
ger side instrument panel as shown
above to remind you not to install a
rear-facing child restraint system
on the front seat at any time. Do not use rear-facing child re-
straint system in the rear seat if it
interferes with the lock mechanism
of the front seats. This can cause
severe injury to the child and frontpassenger in case of sudden brak- ing or a collision.1. Run the center lap belt through or
around the infant seat following the in-
structions provided by its manufactur- er and insert the tab into the buckle taking care not to twist the lap belt.

49
CAUTION!
After inserting the tab, make sure
the tab and buckle are locked and
that the lap 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 is fixed.
2. Fully extend the shoulder belt to put it
in the lock mode. When the belt is then
retracted even slightly, it cannot be ex-
tended.

CAUTION!
Never 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 chld. Ve-
hicles with a passenger airbag dis-
play a caution label on the passen-
ger side instrument panel as
shown above to remind you not to
install a rear-facing child restraint
system on the front seat at any time.
Only when it is unavoidable
should a forward-facing child re-
straint system be used on the front
seat. Always move the seat as far
back as possible because the force
of deploying airbag would cause
serious injury to the child. Do not use a rear-facing child re- straint system in the rear seat if it
interferes with the lock mecha-
nism of the front seats. This can
cause severe injury to the child
and front passenger in case of
sudden braking or a collision.

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.
