∗1: The system judges a person of adult size as an adult. When a smaller adult sits in the front passenger seat, the system may
recognize him/her as a child depending on his/her physique and posture.
∗2: When a larger child who has outgrown a child restraint system sits in the front passenger seat, the system may recognize him/her
as an adult depending on his/her physique or posture.
∗3: Never install a rear −facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat. A forward− facing child restraint system should only
be installed on the front passenger seat when it is unavoidable. (See “Child restraint” on page 74 in this Section as for insta lling
the child restraint system.)

CAUTION
To avoid potential death or serious
injury when the front passenger occu-
pant classification system does not
detect the conditions correctly, ob-
serve the following.
Do not recline the front passenger
seat seatback so that it interferes
with a rear seat as it may cause the
“AIRBAG OFF” indicator light be il-
luminated. If the seatback interferes
with the rear seat, return the seat-
back to a position where it does
not interfere with the rear seat.
Keep the front passenger seatback
as upright as possible when the ve-
hicle is moving. Reclining the seat-
back excessively may lessen the ef-
fectiveness of the seat belt system.
Make sure the “AIRBAG ON”
indicator light is illuminated when
using the seat belt extender for the
front passenger seat. If the
“AIRBAG OFF” indicator light is
illuminated, disconnect the extender
tongue from the seat belt buckle,
then reconnect the seat belt.
Reconnect the seat belt extender
after making sure the “AIRBAG ON”
indicator light is illuminated. If you
use the seat belt extender while the
“AIRBAG OFF” indicator light is
illuminated, the front passenger
airbag and side airbag on the front
passenger side may not activate
correctly, which could cause death
or serious injury in the event of
collision.If an adult sits in the front
passenger seat, the “AIRBAG ON”
indicator light should be
illuminated. If the “AI RBAG OFF”
indicator light is illuminated, ask
the passenger to sit up straight,
well back in the seat, feet on the
floor, and with the seat belt worn
correctly. If the “AIRBAG OFF”
indicator light 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.
Wear the seat belt properly.
Make sure the front passenger ’s
seat belt tab has not been left in-
serted into the buckle before some-
one sits in the front passenger
seat.
Do not place a heavy load on the
front passenger seat.
Do not apply pressure to the front
passenger seat by resting hands or
legs on the seatback.

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 “AIRBAG OFF”
indicator light is illuminated. In the
event of an accident, the force of
the rapid inflation of the front pas-
senger airbag can cause death or
serious injury to the child if the
rearfacing 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 “AIRBAG
OFF” indicator light is illuminated,
because the front passenger airbag
could inflate with considerable
speed and force. Otherwise, the
child may be killed or seriously in-
jured.
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.

CAUTION
Never install a rearfacing child re-
straint system on the front passen-
ger seat even if the “AIRBAG OFF”
indicator light is illuminated. In the
event of an accident, the force of
the rapid inflation of the front pas-
senger airbag can cause death or
serious injury to the child if the
rearfacing child restraint system is
installed on the front passenger
seat.
PS13563
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.

Same angleSame position
Split seat: When installing a child
restraint system in the rear seat
center position, adjust both seat
cushions to the same position and
align both seatbacks at the same
angle. Otherwise, the child restraint
system cannot be securely re-
strained and this may cause death
or serious injuries in a collision.

The “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light should
be illuminated when the ignition key is in
the “ON” position and the child is in the
child restraint system after following these
procedures. The “AIRBAG OFF” indicator
light indicates the SRS front passenger
airbag and side airbag on the passenger
side will not deploy. If the “AIRBAG ON”
indicator light is illuminated, do the follow-
ing procedure:1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Remove the child restraint system.
3. When reinstalling a child restraint sys- tem, make sure the seatback does not
press the child restraint system into
the seat cushion. If this occurs, adjust
the seatback angle slightly.
4. Then make sure the head restraint is not pressing the child restraint system
into the seat cushion. If this occurs,
raise the head restraint.
5. Turn the ignition on again. The “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light should
be illuminated. If the “AIRBAG ON” indica-
tor light is illuminated when the ignition
key is turned to the “ON” position, 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 re-
straint system and contact your Toyota
dealer.
CAUTION
Never install a rearfacing child
restraint system on the front
passenger seat. A forwardfacing
child restraint 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 forwardfacing child
restraint system in the proper
order. Otherwise, the front
passenger occupant classification
system cannot detect the presence
of the child restraint system and
the front passenger airbag and side
airbag on the front passenger seat
could deploy.
PS13561
CAUTION
Split seat: When installing a rear
facing child restraint system in the
rear seat, move the rear seat to the
rearmost lock position to prevent
the child restraint system from in-
terfering with the front seat. Other-
wise, the child restraint system may
not be properly secured. In the
event of an accident, this may
cause death or serious injury.
