CAUTION
When installing a child restraint system
Vehicles with front bench seat: Do not
install a child restraint system in the
center position. This seat position is not
designed to hold a child restraint sys-
tem.
If used in the center position, depend-
ing on its type, the child restraint sys-
tem may interfere with the proper
usage of the driver’s and front passen-
ger’s seat belts. It may also hamper
your driving.
Extra-cab models: Do not install a child
restraint system on the rear seat.
These seats are not designed to hold a
child restraint system.
Double-cab models: Do not install a
rear-facing child (convertible) seat in
the rear center position. This seat posi-
tion is not designed to hold a rear-fac-
ing child (convertible) seat. Otherwise,
the child or front seat occupant(s) may
be killed or seriously injured in the
event of sudden braking, sudden
swerving or an accident.

CAUTION
When installing a child restraint system
If child restraint system regulations exist in the country where you reside,
please contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional for the child restraint system installa-
tion.
When a junior seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is
positioned across the center of the child’s shoulder. The belt should be
kept away from the child’s neck, but not so that it could fall off the child’s
shoulder. Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury in the event
of a sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
Ensure that the belt and plate are securely locked and the seat belt is not
twisted.
Push and pull the child restraint system from side to side and forward to be
sure it is secure.
After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.
Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.

CAUTION
Secure all items in the occupant compartment, as they may shift and injure
someone in the event of a sudden braking, sudden swerving or an acci-
dent.
Never allow anyone to ride in the rear deck. It is not designed for passen-
gers. They should ride in their seats with their seat belts properly fastened.
Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer death or serious bodily
injury, in the event of a sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
Load and distribution
Do not overload your vehicle.
Do not apply loads unevenly.
Improper loading may cause deterioration of steering or braking control
which may cause death or serious injury.
