●Prioritize and observe the warnings, as well as the laws and regula-
tions for child restraint systems.
● Use a child restraint system until the child becomes large enough to
properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
● Choose a child restraint system appropriate to the age and size of
the child.
● Note that not all child restraint systems can fit in all vehicles.
● Before using or purchasing a child restraint system, check the com-
patibility of the child restraint system with seat positions.

WARNING
■When a child is riding
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
● For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child
must be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system
which is correctly installed. For inst allation details, refer to the operation
manual enclosed with the child restraint system. General installation
instruction is provided in this manual.
● Toyota strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that con-
forms to the weight and size of the child, installed on the rear seat. Accord-
ing to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the
rear seat than in the front seat.
● Holding a child in your or someone else’s arms is not a substitute for a
child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be crushed against the
windshield or between the holder and the interior of the vehicle.
■ Handling the child restraint system
If the child restraint system is not properly fixed in place, the child or other
passengers may be seriously injured or even killed in the event of sudden
braking, sudden swerving, or an accident.
● If the vehicle were to receive a strong impact from an accident, etc., it is
possible that the child restraint system has damage that is not readily visi-
ble. In such cases, do not reuse the restraint system.
● Depending on the child restraint system, installation may be difficult or
impossible. In those cases, check whether the child restraint system is
suitable for installment in the vehicle. ( P. 74, 84) Be sure to install and
observe the usage rules after carefully reading the child restraint system
fixing method in this manual, as well as the operation manual enclosed
with the child restraint system.
● 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.

WARNING
■When using a child restraint system
● 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.
● Use child restraint system suitable to the age and size of the child and
install it to the rear seat.
● Only put a forward-facing child restraint
system on the front seat when unavoid-
able. When installing a forward-facing
child restraint on the front passenger
seat, move the seat as far back as pos-
sible. Failing to do so may result in
death or serious injury if the airbags
deploy (inflate).
● 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 or rear pi llars, 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 curtain shield airbags
inflate, and the impact could cause
death or serious injury to the child.
● Double-cab models: If the driver’s seat
interferes with the child restraint system
and prevents it from being attached cor-
rectly, attach the child restraint system
to the right-hand rear seat (left-hand
drive vehicles) or the left-hand rear seat
(right-hand drive vehicles). ( P. 8 0 , 8 8 )

Confirm the corresponding [Mass group] from the weight of the
child ( P. 69)
(Ex. 1) When the weight is 12 kg, [Mass group 0+]
(Ex. 2) When the weight is 15 kg, [Mass group I]
Confirm and select the appropriate possible seating position for

from the [Child restraint systems fastened with SEAT BELT -

If your child restraint system is of “universal” category, you can
install it on the positions mentioned by U or UF in the table below
(UF is for forward-facing child restraint systems only). Child
restraint systems category and mass group can be found in the
