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.
If other second seats interfere with the child restraint system when install-
ing a child restraint system in the second seat, adjust the seat cushions to
the same position and align the seatbacks at the same angle. Otherwise,
the child restraint system cannot be securely restrained and this may
cause death or serious injuries in the event of sudden braking, sudden
swerving or an accident.
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 sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
Ensure that the belt and plate are securely locked and the seat belt is not
twisted.
Shake the child restraint system left and right, and forward and backward
to ensure that it has been securely installed.
After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.
Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
To correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchors
When using the ISOFIX rigid anchors, be sure that there are no foreign
objects around the anchors and that the seat belt is not caught behind the
child restraint system. Make sure the child restraint system is securely
attached, or it may cause death or serious injury to the child or other passen-
gers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.

CAUTION
When the cargo hooks are not in use
To avoid injury, always return the cargo hooks to their stowed positions.
Caution while driving
Keep the lid of each storage spaces closed while driving. In the event of sud-
den braking or sudden swerving, an accident may occur due to an occupant
being struck by an open auxiliary box or the items stored inside.
Caution for the luggage cover
Do not allow children to climb on the luggage cover. Climbing on the luggage
cover could result in damage to the luggage cover, possibly causing death or
serious injury to the child.
