When using a child restraint system 
on the front passenger seat, make 
sure that the front and side airbags 
on the passenger side are deacti-
vated. Front passenger airbags can 
only be deactivated with the key 
switch for front passenger airbags, 
see page 188.Appropriate child restraint systems 
for every age and weight class are 
available from any authorized 
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Please comply with the operating 
and safety instructions provided by 
the child restraint system manufac-
turer when selecting, attaching and 
using child restraint systems.
WARNING
Children less than 150 cm, 5 ft in 
height cannot wear the seat belt cor-
rectly without using additional child 
restraint systems. The protective 
function of the seat belts may be lim-
ited or may even fail completely if the 
seat belts are worn incorrectly. If a 
seat belt is not worn correctly, addi-
tional injuries can be caused, for 
example in the event of an accident or 
braking and evasive manoeuvres. 
There is a danger of injury or even 
death. Children smaller than 150 cm, 
5 ft in height must be secured in suita-
ble child restraint systems.

WARNING
If child restraint systems and their 
attachment systems have been dam-
aged or subjected to stresses in an 
accident, their protective function may 
be limited or may fail completely. A 
child might not be adequately 
restrained, for example in the event of 
an accident or braking and evasive 
manoeuvres. There is a danger of 
injury or even death. If child restraint 
systems and their attachment sys-
tems have been damaged or sub-
jected to stresses in an accident, 
have them checked by any authorized 
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer and 
renewed if necessary.
WARNING
If the seat adjustment or child seat 
installation is incorrect, the child 
restraint system may have limited sta-
bility or may not be stable at all. There 
is a danger of injury or even death. 
Make sure the child restraint system 
is firmly positioned against the back-
rest. Wherever possible, adapt the 
backrest angle of all the relevant seat 
backrests and adjust the seats cor-
rectly. Make sure that the seats and 
their backrests are correctly engaged 
or locked.

The front passenger airbags are 
reactivated and can deploy cor-
rectly if the need arises.
The indicator lamp for the front pas-
senger airbags in the roof lining 
shows the operating status of the 
front passenger airbags.
After switching on the drive-ready 
state, the light illuminates briefly 
and then shows whether the 
airbags are activated or deacti-
vated.
The active pedestrian protection 
system raises the bonnet if the 
vehicle's front end collides with a pedestrian. Sensors underneath 
the bumper are used for detection.
When the pedestrian protection 
system is triggered, it creates 
deformation space underneath the 
bonnet for the subsequent head 
impact. Indicator lamp for front pas-
