The front passenger occupant classifi-
cation indicator light indicates the ac-
tuation of the front passenger airbag
and side airbag on the front passenger
seat.
The indicator light will indicate “OFF”
when the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position with the condition 2 in the table
shown below.If the front passenger occupant classifica-
tion system determines that a person of
adult size sits in the front passenger seat
but the “OFF” indicator is illuminated, one
of the following is likely to have occurred:
A rear passenger lifts the front passen-
ger seat cushion with their legs.
Objects are placed under the front pas-
senger seat.
The front passenger seatback is in
contact with the rear seat or the back
wall.
To ensure the system correctly detects an
adult sitting in the front passenger seat,
make sure the above do not occur.
Make sure that the “ON” indicator illumi-
nated when an adult is seated in the front
passenger seat. If the “OFF” indicator is
illuminated, ask the passenger to sit up
straight, well back in the seat, and with
the seat belt worn correctly. If the “OFF”
indicator still remains illuminated, either
ask the passenger to move to the rear
seat, or if that is not possible, move the
front passenger seat fully rearward. The front passenger occupant classifi-
cation indicator light will indicate “ON”
and “OFF” when the ignition key is
turned to the “ON” position. After
about four seconds, it will go off. After
that, the front passenger occupant clas-
sification system operates and judges
whether to indicate “ON” or “OFF”.

If you must put infant or child age
1 to 12 in a passenger risk group
on the right front seat, make sure
that the passenger airbag manual
onoff switch is in the “OFF” posi-
tion with the key removed and that
the indicator light is on. (For de-
tails, see “SRS driver airbag and
front passenger airbag” on page 55
in this Section.)
Do not use the seat belt extender
when installing a child restraint
system on the front or rear passen-
ger seat. If installing a child re-
straint system with the seat belt
extender connected to the seat belt,
the seat belt will not securely hold
the child restraint system, which
could cause death or serious injury
to the child or other passengers in
the event of collision.
Make sure you have complied with
all installation instructions provided
by the child restraint manufacturer
and that the system is properly se-
cured. If it is not secured properly,
it may cause death or serious injury
to the child in the event of a sud-
den stop or accident.
Double cab models—
Toyota strongly urges use of a
proper child restraint system which
conforms to the size of the child,
installed on the rear seat. Accord-
ing to accident statistics, the child
is safer when properly restrained in
the rear seat than in the front seat.
Never install a rearfacing child re-
straint system on the front passen-
ger seat even if the front passenger
occupant classification indicator
light indicates “OFF”. 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.
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 even if the front pas-
senger occupant classification indi-
cator light indicates “OFF”, 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.

CAUTION
Do not install a child restraint sys-
tem on the rear seat if it interferes
with the lock mechanism of the
front seats. Otherwise, the child or
front seat occupant(s) may be killed
or seriously injured in case of sud-
den 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 rear right
seat.

Forwardfacing child restraint system:
A forwardfacing child restraint
system which belongs to a passenger
risk group should never be installed

the passenger airbag manual onoff
switch in the “ON” or “AUTO”
position, because the force of the
deploying airbag could cause death
or serious injury to the child in
forward seating position. (For details,

(B) CONVERTIBLE SEAT INSTALLATION
A convertible seat must be used in for-
wardfacing or rearfacing 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 “ON” 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.
