head restraint before driving.
To raise: Pull it up.

lock release button.
Front head restraints onlyÐOn some mod-
els, you can also move the front head
restraint forward or backward. If such ad-
justment is desired, pull or push the base
of the head restraint.Second and third seat head restraintsÐ
When an occupant sits in the second or
third seat, always raise the head restraint
to the lock position.
The head restraint is most effective when
it is close to your head. Therefore, using
a cushion on the seatback is not recom-
mended.
CAUTION

Adjust the center of the head re-
straint so that it is closest to the
top of your ears.

After adjusting the head restraint,
make sure it is locked in position.

Do not drive with the head re-
straints removed.

Do not let a rear passenger lift the
front passenger seat with their feet
or press on the seatback with their
legs.

Do not put objects under the front
passenger seat.

Child restraint systems installed on
the second seat should not contact
the front seatbacks.

When it is unavoidable to install the
forward- facing child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat,
install the child restraint system on
the front passenger seat in the
proper order. (As for the installation
order, see ÐInstallation with seat
beltº on page 94 in this Section.)

Do not remove the front seats.

Do not kick the front passenger
seat or subject it to severe impact.
Otherwise, the SRS warning light
may come on to indicate a malfunc-
tion of the detection system. In this
case, contact your Toyota dealer im-
mediately.
The AIRBAG ONº indicator light may be
illuminated (the front passenger airbag and
side airbag on the front passenger seat
may deploy) even if observing the above
cautions, when a child sits in, or a for-
ward- facing child restraint system is
installed on the front passenger seat. Re-
fer to all the cautions in SRS airbagsº on
page 70 and Child restraintº on page 91
in this Section.Toyota strongly urges the use of ap-
propriate child restraint systems for
children.
The laws of all 50 states in the U.S.A.
and Canada now require the use of a
child restraint system.
Your vehicle conforms to SAEJ1819.
If a child is too large for a child restraint
system, the child should sit in the rear
seat and must be restrained using the
vehicle's seat belt. See Seat beltsº on
page 58 in this Section for details.
CAUTION

For effective protection in automo-
bile accidents and sudden stops, a
child must be properly restrained,
using a seat belt or child restraint
system depending on the age and
size of the child. Holding a child in
your arms is not a substitute for a
child restraint system. In an acci-
dent, the child can be crushed
against the windshield, or between
you and the vehicle's interior.
