(1) For the CRS which do not carry the ISO/XX size class identifica- 
tion (A to G), for the applicable mass group, the car manufacturer 
shall indicate the vehicle specific ISOFIX child restraint system(s) 
recommended for each position. 
Key of letters inserted in the above table: 
IUF: Suitable for ISOFIX forward-facing child restraints systems of 
universal category approved for the use in this mass group. 
IL:  Toyota recommend to use “TOYOTA MIDI” approved for the use 
in this mass group. When using this child restraint system, adjust 
the support leg to 6th lock position from 1st lock position where 
the support leg is shortest position. Move the seat to the rear 
most lock position, and adjust the seat back to the 2nd lock posi- 
tion from the most upright position. 
X: ISOFIX position not suitable for ISOFIX child restraint systems in 
this mass group and/or this size class.
*: When you use a child restraint system in this position, remove the head 
restraint.
The child restraint systems mentioned in the table may not be avail- 
able outside of the EU area. 
Other child restraint systems different from the systems mentioned in 
the table can be used, but the suitability of the systems must be care- 
fully checked with the child restraint system manufacturer and retailer.
■ When installing the child restraint system on the front passenger seat 
When you have to use a child restraint system on the front passenger seat, 
adjust the following: 
■ Selecting an appropriate 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 
and use the vehicle’s seat belt. ( P. 38) 
● The seatback from the 1st lock position 
(most upright position) to the 5th lock 
position 
● The seat cushion to the fully rearward 
position

WARNING
■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, sudden swerving 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 w hen properly restrained in the rear seat 
than in the front seat. 
● Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger 
seat when the airbag manual on-off switch is on. ( P.  5 6 ) 
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. 
● A forward-facing child restraint system may be installed on the front pas- 
senger seat only when it is unavoidable. A child restraint system that 
requires a top strap should not be used in the front passenger seat since 
there is no top strap anchor for the front passenger seat. Adjust the seat-
back as upright as possible and always move the seat as far back as pos-
sible because the front passenger airbag could inflate with considerable 
speed and force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously injured. 
● 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 sea t, 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 and curtain 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 stop, sudden swerve or accident.

WARNING
■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 or store it securely in the  luggage compartment. This will prevent it 
from injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or
accident.
