Before driving
 There is a malfunction in the system
*1:The system judges a person of adult size as an adult. When a
smaller adult sits in the front pa ssenger seat, the system may rec−
ognize him/her as a child dependi
ng on his/her physique and pos−
ture.
*2:In the event the front passenger does not wear a seat belt.
*3:When a larger child who has outgrown a child restraint system sits
in the front passenger seat, the system may rec ognize him/her as
an adult depending on his/her physique or posture.
*4:Never install a rear−facing child restraint system on the front pas−
senger seat. A forward−facing child restraint system should only be
installed on the front passenger
seat when it is unavoidable. ( P.
90)
*5:In case the indicator is not illum inated, consult this manual as for
installing the child restraint system properly. ( P. 9 3 )

CAUTION
 If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as ABS and the SRS airbag warning light
not come on when you start the engine, this could mean that these systems
are not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result in
death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer
immediately if this occurs.
 Warning lights
Warning lights inform the driver of malfunctions in any of the
vehicle’s systems. ( P. 331)
*: These lights turn on when the engine switch is turned to the ON
position to indicate that a system check is being performed. They will
turn off after the engine is started, or after a few seconds. There may
be a malfunction in a system if a light does not come on, or if the
lights do not turn off. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
