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.

Never install a rear±facing child re-
straint system on the front passen-
ger seat even if the front passenger
occupant classification indicator
light indicates ªOFFº. In the event
of an accident, the impact of the
rapid inflation of the front passen-
ger airbag could cause death or se-
rious injury to the child if the rear±
facing child restraint system is
installed on the front passenger
seat.
Move seat fully back

A forward±facing child restraint sys-
tem should be allowed to be
installed on the front passenger
seat only when it is unavoidable.
Always move the seat as far back
as possible even if the front pas-
senger occupant classification indi-
cator light indicates ªOFFº, because
the front passenger airbag could in-
flate with considerable speed and
force. Otherwise, the child may be
killed or seriously injured.

On vehicles with side airbags and
curtain shield airbags, do not allow
the child to lean his/her head or
any part of his/her body against the
door or the area of the seat, front
or rear pillar or roof side rail from
which the side airbags or curtain
shield airbags deploy even if the
child is seated in the child restraint
system. It is dangerous if the side
airbag and curtain shield airbag in-
flate, and the impact could cause
death or serious injury to the child.

Do not install a child restraint sys-
tem on the second (or third) seat if
it interferes with the lock mecha-
nism of the front (or second) seats.
Otherwise, the child or front (or
second) seat occupant(s) may be
killed or seriously injured in case
of sudden braking or a collision.

If the driver 's seat position does
not allow sufficient space for safe
installation, install the child re-
straint system on the second right
seat.
Same angle
Same position

When installing a child restraint
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
belt. Keep the lap portion of the belt
tight.

the lap and shoulder belt through or
around the booster seat and across the
child following the instructions provided
by its manufacturer and insert the tab
into the buckle taking care not to twist
the belt.

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 shoulder.
Otherwise, the child may be killed
or seriously injured in case of sud-
den braking or a collision.

Both high±positioned lap belts and
loose±fitting belts could cause
death or serious injuries due to
sliding under the lap belt during a
collision or other unintended event.

on a child's hips as possible.

For child's safety, do not place the
shoulder belt under child's arm.
