(B) CONVERTIBLE SEAT INSTALLATION
A convertible seat must be used in for-
ward–facing or rear–facing position de-
pending on the age and size of the
child. When installing, follow the
manufacturer ’s instructions about the
appropriate 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.

6. While pressing the convertible seatfirmly 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 “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light should
be illuminated when the ignition key is
“ON” and the child is in the child restraint
system after following these proc
edures.
The “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light indi-
cates the SRS front passenger airbag and
side airbag on the passenger side will not
deploy. If the “AIR BAG ON” indicator light
is illuminated, remove the child restraint
system and reinstall it with the ignition
key in the “ACC” or “LOCK” position. If
the “AIR BAG ON” indicator light is illumi-
nated when the ignition key is turned to
the “ON” position, then the SRS front pas-
senger airbag and side airbag on the pas-
senger side may deploy in an accident.
Do not drive the vehicle in this condition.
Remove the child restraint system and
contact your Scion dealer.
CAUTION
Never install a rearfacing child re-
straint system on the front passenger
seat. A forwardfacing child restraint
system should only be installed on
the front passenger seat when un-
avoidable. 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 sys-
tem in the proper order. Otherwise,
the front passenger occupant classifi-
cation system cannot detect the pres-
ence of the child restraint system and
the front passenger airbag and side
airbag on the front passenger seat
could deploy, and the impact could
cause death or serious injury to the
child.

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.

ately. Do not install the child re-
straint system on the seat until the
