WARNING
WARNING
●Only put a forward-facing child restraint system on the front seat
when unavoidable. When installing a forward-facing child restraint on the front passenger seat, move the
seat as far back as possible. Failing to do so may result in death or seri-ous injury if the airbags deploy
(inflate).
●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 pillars, or roof
side rails from which the SRS side airbags or SRS curtain shield air-
bags 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.
●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.

with the child restraint system.
4 If your child restraint system is
not equipped with a lock-off (a
seat belt locking feature),
secure the child restraint system
using a locking clip.

system, rock it back and forth to
ensure that it is installed
securely. ( →P. 6 2 )
■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 system. 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

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. 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.
●Ensure that the belt 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 child restraint sys-tem, never adjust the seat.

WARNING
■When the Emergency Call may not be made
●It may not be possible to make Emergency Calls in any of the fol-lowing situations. In such cases,
report to emergency services pro- vider (112 system etc.) by other means such as nearby public
phones.
• Even when the vehicle is in the cel-
lular phone service area, it may be difficult to connect to the eCall con-trol center if the reception is poor or
the line is busy. In such cases, even though the system attempts to con-nect to the eCall control center, you
may not be able to connect to the eCall control center to make Emer-gency Calls and contact emergency
services.
• When the vehicle is out of the cellu-
lar phone service area, the Emer- gency Calls cannot be made.
• When any related equipment (such as the “SOS” button panel, indicator lights, microphone, speaker, DCM,
antenna, or any wires connecting the equipment) is malfunctioning, damaged or broken, the Emer-
gency Call cannot be made.

1-3. Emergency assistance
WARNING
• During an Emergency Call, the sys- tem makes repeated attempts to
connect to the eCall control center. However, if it cannot connect to the eCall control center due to poor
radio wave reception, the system may not be able to connect to the cellular network and the call may
finish without connecting. The red indicator light will blink for approxi-mately 30 seconds to indicate this
disconnection.
●If the battery’s voltage decreases or
there is a disconnection, the system may not be able to connect to the eCall control center.
●The Emergency Call system might not work outside of EU area,
depending on the available infra- structure in the country.
■When the Emergency Call sys-tem is replaced with a new one
The Emergency Call system should
be registered. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■For your safety
●Please drive safely.
The function of this system is to assist you in making the Emer-gency Call in case of accidents
such as traffic accidents or sudden medical emergencies, and it does not protect the driver or passengers
in any way. Please drive safely and fasten your seatbelts at all times for your safety.
●In case of an emergency, make lives the top priority.
●If you smell anything burning or other unusual smells, leave the
vehicle and evacuate to a safe area immediately.
●If the airbags deploy when the sys-tem is operating normally, the sys-tem makes emergency call. The
system also makes emergency call when the vehicle is struck from the rear or rolls over, even if the airbags
do not deploy.
●For safety, do not make the Emer-
gency Call while driving. Making calls during driving may cause mishandling of the steering
wheel, which may lead to unex- pected accidents.Stop the vehicle and confirm the
safety of your surroundings before making the Emergency Call.
●When changing fuses, please use the specified fuses. Using other fuses may cause ignition or smoke
in the circuit and lead to a fire.
●Using the system while there is
smoke or an unusual smell may cause a fire. Stop using the system immediately and consult any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
