If your child restraint system
is not equipped with a lock-
off (a seat belt locking fea-
ture), secure the child
restraint system using a lock-
ing clip.
After installing the child restraint system, rock it back and forth to
ensure that it is installed securely. ( P. 8 3 )
◆Removing a child restraint system installed with a seat belt
Press the buckle release button and fully retract the seat belt.
When releasing the buckle, the chil d restraint system may spring up due
to the rebound of the seat cushion. Release the buckle while holding
down the child restraint system.
Since the seat belt automatically reels itself, slowly return it to the stow-
ing position.
■ When installing a child restraint system

instructions provided by the manufacturer of the system. If your child restraint
system does not provide a locking clip, you can purchase the following item
from any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer: Locking clip for child restraint system

WARNING
■When installing a child restraint system
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
● 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 inju-
ries that could result in death. If this occurs and the buckle cannot be
unfastened, scissors should be used to cut the belt.
● 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.
● 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.
● Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.

Key of letters inserted in the above table:
X: Not suitable seat position for ISOFIX child restraint systems in
this mass group and/or size class.
IUF: Suitable for ISOFIX forward-facing child restraint systems of “uni-
versal” category approved for use in this mass group.
IL: Suitable for ISOFIX child restraint systems of the categories for
“specific vehicles”, “restricted”, or “semi-universal” approved for
use in this mass group.
*: If the head restraint interferes with your child restraint system, and the
head restraint can be removed, remove the head restraint. Otherwise, put
the head restraint in the upper most position.
When securing some types of child restraint systems in rear seat, it
may not be possible to properly use the seat belts in positions next to
the child restraint without interfering with it or affecting seat belt effec-
tiveness. Be sure your seat belt fits snugly across your shoulder and
low on your hips. If it does not, or if it interferes with the child restraint,
move to a different position. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
The child restraint systems mentioned in the table may not be avail-
able outside the EU area.
● When installing a child restraint in the rear seats, adjust the front
seat so that it does not interfere with the child or child restraint sys-
tem.
● When using a “TOYOTA MINI” or “TOYOTA MIDI”, adjust the sup-
port leg and ISOFIX connectors as follows:
Lock the ISOFIX connectors
where number 3 can be
seen.
Lock the support leg where 6
holes can be seen.
