loose±fitting belts could cause seri-
ous injuries due to sliding under
the lap belt during a collision or
other unintended result. Keep the
lap belt positioned as low on a
child's hips as possible.

shoulder belt under child's arm.

After inserting the tab, make sure
the tab and buckle are locked and
that the lap and shoulder portions
of the belt are not twisted.

Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in
the buckle as this may prevent your
child from properly latching the tab
and buckle.

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