ger.(B) CONVERTIBLE SEAT INSTALLATION
A convertible seat must be used in for-
ward±facing or rear±facing position de-
pending on the age and size of the
child. When installing, follow the
manufacturer 's instructions about the
applicable age and size of the child as
well as directions for installing the
child restraint system.Install the child restraint system on the
front passenger seat only when it is un-
avoidable. Your vehicle is equipped with a
front passenger occupant classification
system. In order to activate the occupant
classification system correctly, install the
forward±facing child restraint system on
the front passenger seat in the following
order:
1. Turn the ignition key to the ªONº posi-
tion.
2. Move the front passenger seat to the
rearward position.
3. Put the child restraint system on the
front passenger seat without putting
your weight on the front passenger
seat.
4. Insert the seat belt tab into the seat
belt buckle.
5. Fully extend the shoulder belt to put it
in the lock mode. When the belt is
then retracted even slightly, it cannot
be extended. To hold the seat securely,
make sure the belt is in the lock mode
before letting the belt retract.
6. While pressing the convertible seat
firmly against the seat cushion and
seatback, let the shoulder belt retract
as far as it will go to hold the convert-
ible seat securely.

CAUTION
Push and pull the child restraint sys-
tem in different directions to be sure
it is secure. Follow all the installation
instructions provided by its manufac-
turer.
7. Put a child on the child restraint sys-
tem and secure the child, complying
with the instructions provided by the
child restraint system manufacturer.The occupant classification indicator light
should indicate ªOFFº when the ignition
key is in the ªONº position and the child
is in the child restraint system after fol-
lowing these procedures. The ªOFFº indi-
cator indicates the SRS front passenger
airbag and side airbag on the passenger
side will not deploy. If the indicator light
indicates ªONº, remove the child restraint
system and reinstall it with the ignition
key in the ªACCº or ªLOCKº position. If
the indicator light still indicates ªONº when
the ignition key is turned to the ªONº posi-
tion, then the SRS front passenger airbag
and side airbag on the passenger side
may deploy in an accident. Do not drive
the vehicle in this condition. Remove the
child restraint system and contact your
Toyota dealer.
CAUTION

Never install a rear±facing child re-
straint system on the front passen-
ger seat. A forward±facing child re-
straint system should only be
installed on the front passenger
seat when unavoidable. If you must
install the child restraint system on
the front passenger seat, put the
seat in its most rearward position,
and install the forward±facing child
restraint system in the proper or-
der. Otherwise, the front passenger
occupant classification system can
not detect the presence of the child
restraint system and the front pas-
senger airbag and side airbag on
the front passenger seat could
deploy.

tem on the second (or third) seat if
it interferes with the lock mecha-
nism of the front (or second) seats.

system in the third seat center
position, adjust both seat cushions
to the same position and align both
seatbacks at the same angle. Other-
wise, the child restraint system can-
not be securely restrained and this
may cause death or serious injuries
in a collision.1. Run the lap and shoulder belt through
or around the convertible seat following
the instructions provided by its
manufacturer and insert the tab into
the buckle taking care not to twist the
