(B) CONVERTIBLE SEAT INSTALLATION
A convertible seat is used in forward-
facing and rear- facing position depend-
ing on the child's age and size. When
installing, follow the manufacturer's
instruction about the applicable child's
age and size as well as directions for
installing a child restraint system.CAUTION
Rear- facing child restraint system:
Never put a rear- facing child restraint
system on the right front seat with
the passenger airbag manual on- off
switch in the ºONº position. In the
event of an accident, the force of the
rapid inflation of the passenger air-
bag can cause death or serious injury
to the child.
When you put a rear- facing child re-
straint system which belongs to a pas-
senger risk group on the right front
seat, turn the passenger airbag manual
on- off switch to the ºOFFº position.
(For details, see ºSRS driver and front
passenger airbagsº in this chapter.)
The indicator comes on when the system
is off.

CAUTION
If you must put a rear- facing child
restraint system on the right front
seat, make sure the passenger airbag
manual on- off switch is in the ºOFFº
position and that the indicator light is on.
CAUTION
Forward- facing child restraint system:
A forward- facing child restraint sys-
tem which belongs to a passenger
risk group should never be put on
the right front seat with the passen-
ger airbag manual on- off switch in
the ºONº position, because the force
of a deploying airbag could cause
death or serious injury to the child in
forward seating position. (For details,
see ºSRS driver and front passenger
airbagsº in this chapter.)
CAUTION
Do not put a rear- facing child re-
straint system on the rear seat if
the child restraint system interferes
with the front seat lock mechanism
or with your proper driving posi-
tion. This can cause severe injury
to the child and front passenger in
case of sudden braking or a colli-
sion.
If your driving position is not satis-
factory, install the child restraint
system at another position.

(C) BOOSTER SEAT INSTALLATION
A booster seat is used in forward- fac-
ing position only.
CAUTION
A forward- facing child restraint sys-
tem which belongs to a passenger
risk group should never be put on
the right front seat with the passen-
ger airbag manual on- off switch in
the ºONº position, because the force
of a deploying airbag could cause
death or serious injury to the child in
forward seating position. (For details,
see ºSRS driver and front passenger
airbagsº in this chapter.)
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 into
the 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 ºSeat beltsº for de-
tails.

ºFuel gaugeº in Chapter 1- 5 for instruc-
tions.)
b. The fuel tank cap is not tightened se-
curely. (See ºFuel tank capº in Chapter
1- 2 for instructions.)
c. There is a problem somewhere in your
engine or automatic transmission electrical
system.
If it comes on while you are driving in
case c, have your vehicle checked/re-
paired by your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible. (f) Low Fuel Level Warning Light
This light comes on when the fuel level
in the tank becomes nearly empty. Fill up
the tank as soon as possible.
On inclines or curves, due to the move-
ment of fuel in the tank, the low fuel level
warning light may come on earlier than
usual.
(g) ºABSº Warning Light
This light warns that there is a problem
somewhere in your anti- lock brake sys-
tem.

key is turned to the ºONº position. After
a few seconds, the light will go off.
When the ºABSº warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the
brake system operates conventionally but
anti- lock brake system is not assisting
brake performance so that the wheels can
lock- up during sudden braking or braking
on slippery road surfaces.Vehicles with rear differential lock sys-
temÐ

ate when the rear differential is locked. It
is normal operation for the ºABSº warning
light to be on at this time.

tion key is turned to the ºACCº or
ºONº position. After about 6 seconds,
the light will go off. This means the
system of the airbag and front seat belt
pretensioners are operating properly.
The warning light system monitors the air-
bag sensor assembly, seat belt pretension-
er assembly, inflators, warning light, inter-
connecting wiring and power sources.
If either of the following conditions occurs,
this indicates a malfunction somewhere in
the parts monitored by the warning light
system. Contact your Toyota dealer as
soon as possible to service the vehicle.
The light does not come on when the
ignition key is turned to the ºACCº or
ºONº position or remains on.
