(C) BOOSTER SEAT INSTALLATION
A booster seat must be used in for-
wardfacing position only.
Move seat fully back
CAUTION
A forwardfacing 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, be-
cause the front passenger airbag
could inflate with considerable speed
and force. Otherwise, the child may
be killed or seriously injured.
1. Sit the child on a booster seat. Run
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.
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 “Seat belts” in this
Section for details.

CAUTION
Always make sure the shoulder 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 s houlder.
Otherwise, the child may be killed
or seriously injured in case of sud-
den braking or a collision.
Both highpositioned lap belts and
loosefitting belts could cause
death or serious injuries due to
sliding under the lap belt during a
collision or other unintended event.
Keep the lap belt positioned as low
on a child’s hips as possible.
For child’s safety, do not place the
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.
If the seat belt does not function
normally, it cannot protect your
child from death or serious injury.
Contact your Toyota dealer immedi-
ately. Do not install the child
restraint system on the seat until
the seat belt is fixed.
