Vehicles with separate seat—A for-
ward−facing child restraint system
should be allowed to be installed
on the front passenger seat only
when it is unavoidable. Always
move the seat as far back as pos-
sible even if the front passenger
occupant classification indicator
light indicates “OFF”, because the
front passenger airbag could inflate
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 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.
A child restraint system for a small
child or baby must itself be properly
restrained on the seat with the lap por-
tion of the lap/shoulder belt. You must
carefully consult the manufacturer ’s
instructions which accompany the child
restraint system.
To provide proper restraint, use a child
restraint system following the manufactur-
er ’s instructions about the appropriate age
and size of the child for the child restraint
system.
Install the child restraint system correctly
following the instructions provided by its
manufacturer. General directions are also
provided under the following illustrations.
The child restraint system should be
installed on the rear seat if your vehicle
is equipped with rear seats. According to
accident statistics, the child is safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat than
in the front seat.
When not using the child restraint system,
keep it secured with the seat belt or place
it somewhere other than the passenger
compartment. This will prevent it from in-
juring passengers in the event of a sud-
den stop or accident.

Vehicles with separate seat only—
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. 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 “OFF” when the ignition
key is in the “ON” position and the child
is in the child restraint system after fol-
lowing these procedures. The “OFF” indi-
cator indicates the SRS front passenger
airbag and side airbag on the passenger
side will not deploy. If the indicator light
indicates “ON”, remove the child restraint
system and reinstall it with the ignition
key in the “ACC” or “LOCK” position. If
the indicator light still indicates “ON” when
the ignition key is turned to the “ON” 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
Vehicles with separate seat—Never
install a rear −facing child restraint
system on the front passenger seat.
A forward −facing child restraint sys-
tem should only be installed on the
front passenger seat when unavoid-
able. If you must install the child
restraint system on the front pas-
senger seat, put the seat in its
most rearward position, and install
the forward −facing child restraint
system in the proper order. Other-
wise, the front passenger occupant
classification system can not detect
the presence of the child restraint
system and the front passenger air-
bag and side airbag on the front
passenger seat could deploy.
Vehicles with split bench seat—Nev-
er install a rear −facing child re-
straint system on the front passen-
ger seat. In the event of an acci-
dent, the force of the rapid inflation
of the front passenger airbag can
cause death or serious injury to the
child if the rear −facing child re-
straint system is installed on the
front passenger seat.
Vehicles with separate seat—Never
install a rear −facing child restraint
system on the front passenger seat
even if the front passenger occu-
pant classification indicator light in-
dicates “OFF”. In the event of an
accident, the impact of the rapid
inflation of the front passenger air-
bag could cause death or serious
injury to the child if the rear −facing
child restraint system is installed
on the front passenger seat.
