tion of the passenger airbag can
cause death or serious injury to the
child.

straint system in the rear seat if it
interferes with the lock mechanism
of the front seats. This can cause

around the booster seat and child fol-
lowing the instructions provided by its
manufacturer and insert the tab into
the buckle taking care not to twist the
belt.
Make sure the shoulder belt is correctly

on child's hips. See ºSeat beltsº for de-
tails.

is positioned across the center of
child's shoulder. The belt should be
kept away from child's neck, but
not falling off child's s houlder. Fail-
ure to do so could reduce the
amount of protection in an accident
and cause serious injuries in a col-
lision.

loose- fitting belts both could cause
serious injuries due to sliding un-
der the lap belt during a collision
or other unintended result. Keep
the lap belt positioned as low on
hips as possible.

shoulder belt under child's arm.

the tab and buckle are locked and
that the lap and shoulder portions
of the belt are not twisted.

the buckle as this may prevent you
from properly latching the tab and
buckle.

normally, it cannot protect your
child from injury. Contact your
Toyota dealer immediately. Do not

Outside rear view mirrorsÐ
Adjust the mirror so you can just see
the side of your vehicle in the mirror.
Be careful when judging the size or dis-
tance of any object seen in the outside
rear view mirror on the passenger 's side.
It is a convex mirror with a curved sur-
face. Any object seen in a convex mirror
will look smaller and farther away than
when seen in a flat mirror.
On some models, when you push the rear
window defogger switch, the heater panels
in the outside rear view mirrors will quick-
ly clear the surface.
