■When installing a child restraint system on the front passenger seat
■ Selecting an appropriat e child restraint system
● Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child becomes
large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
● If the child is too large for a child restraint system, sit the child on a rear seat
(if equipped) and use the vehicle’s seat belt. ( →P. 46)
When you have to use a child restraint
system on the front passenger seat,
adjust the following:
●
The seatback to the most upright posi-
tion
● Vehicles with seat position adjustment
lever: The seat cushion to the fully rear-
ward position

CAUTION
■Using a child restraint system
The use of a child restraint system not suitable for the vehicle may not prop-
erly secure the infant or child. It may result in death or serious injury (in the
event of sudden braking or an accident).
■
Child restraint precautions
● For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child
must be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system
depending on the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is
not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be
crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle’s interior.
● Toyota strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that con-
forms to the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to acci-
dent statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat
than in the front seat.
● Vehicles with SRS front passenger airbag: Never install a rear-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger seat.
In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front pas-
senger airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child if the rear-fac-
ing child restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat.
● A forward-facing child restraint system may be installed on the front pas-
senger seat only when it is unavoidable. Adjust the seatback as upright as
possible and always move the seat as far back as possible because the
front passenger airbag (if equipped) could inflate with considerable speed
and force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously injured.

CAUTION
■Child restraint precautions
● Vehicles with SRS side and curtain shield airbags: 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 and rear pillars or roof side rails from which the SRS side
airbags or SRS curtain shield airbags deploy even if the child is seated in
the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the SRS side airbags and cur-
tain shield airbags inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious
injury to the child.
● Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by
the child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If
it is not secured properly, it may cause death or serious injury to the child
in the event of a sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
■ When children are in the vehicle
Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes
twisted around a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries
that could result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used
to cut the belt.
■ When the child restraint system is not in use
● Keep the child restraint system properly secured on the seat even if it is
not in use. Do not store the child restraint system unsecured in the pas-
senger compartment.
● If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from the
vehicle. This will prevent it from injuring passengers in the event of a sud-
den braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
