(C) BOOSTER SEAT INSTALLATION A booster seat is used in forward-fac-
ing position only.
CAUTION!
Vehicles with a passenger airbag:
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.
1. Sit the child on a booster seat. Run the
lap and shoulder belt through or
around the booster seat and child fol- lowing the instructions provided by its
manufacturer and insert the tab intothe buckle taking care not to twist the belt.
Make sure the shoulder belt is correctly
across the child's shoulder and that the
lap belt is positioned as low as possible on
child's hips. See Seat beltsº for details.

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
reduce 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
low on 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.
2. To remove the child restraint system,
