All work on the airbag systems must only be performed by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.Even if all of the precautions mentioned are observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to the head, chest or arms cannot be ruled out when an airbag is deployed. The airbag inflates almost instantly (within a few milliseconds) then deflates within the same time discharging the hot gas via openings provided for this purpose.

Advice
WARNI NG
An incorrectly installed child seat compromises the child's safety in the event of an accident.Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt buckle under the child seat, as this could destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the harness of child seats, keeping the slack relative to the child's body to a minimum, even for short journeys.When installing a child seat using the seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened correctly on the child seat and that it secures the child seat firmly on the seat of the vehicle. If the passenger seat is adjustable, move it forwards if necessary.Remove the head restraint before installing a child seat with a backrest on a passenger seat.Ensure that the head restraint is stored or attached securely to prevent it from being thrown around the vehicle in the event of sharp braking. Refit the head restraint once the child seat has been removed.
WARNI NG
Installing a booster seatThe chest part of the seat belt must be positioned on the child's shoulder without touching the neck.Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt passes correctly over the child's thighs.Use a booster seat with backrest, equipped with a belt guide at shoulder level.
WARNI NG
Additional protectionsTo prevent accidental opening of the doors and rear windows, use the "Child lock".Take care not to open the rear windows by more than one third.To protect young children from the rays of the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.As a safety precaution, do not leave:– a child alone and unattended in a vehicle,– a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with the windows closed,– the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.

In case of frontal impact,
this device limits the tilting of the child seat forward.This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast, reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in the vehicle.The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two latches which are secured on the two front rings A.Some child seats also have an upper strap which is attached to rear ring B.To secure the child seat to the Top Tether:– remove and stow the head restraint before installing a child seat on this seat (refit it once the child seat has been removed),– pass the strap of the child seat over the top of the seat backrest, centring it between the
openings for the head restraint rods,– attach the hook of the upper strap to rear ring B,– tighten the upper strap.
