■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 child
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 stowing
position.
■When installing a child restraint
system
You may need a locking clip to install the child restraint s ystem. Follow the
instructions provided by the manufac -
turer 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 (Part No. 73119-22010)
■ISOFIX lower anchorages

Lower anchorages are provided for
the outboard rear seats. (Tags dis -
playing the location of the anchor -
ages are attached to the seats.)
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. I f 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.
●Ensure that the bel t and plate are securely locked and the seat belt is
not twisted.
●Shake the child restraint system left
and right, and forward and back -
ward to ensure that it has been securely installed.
●After securing a ch ild restraint sys- tem, never adjust the seat.
●When a junior seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder
belt is positioned a cross 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 chil d’s shoulder.
●Follow all installation instructions
provided by the child restraint sys - tem manufacturer.
