Move seat
fully back
A forward−facing 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.
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 dan-
gerous if the side airbag and/or
curtain shield airbag inflate, and the
impact could cause death or seri-
ous injury to the child.
CY13044
Do not install a child restraint sys-
tem on the second (or third) seat if
it interferes with the lock mecha-
nism of the front (or second) seats.
Otherwise, the child or front (or
second) seat occupant(s) may be
killed or seriously injured in case
of sudden 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.

To install the forward−facing convertible
seat:1. Run the lap and shoulder belt through or around the convertible seat following
the instructions provided by its
manufacturer and insert the tab into
the buckle taking care not to twist the

page 99.
CAUTION
After inserting the tab, make sure
the tab and buckle are locked and

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.
