Prioritize and observe the warn-
ings, as well as the laws and reg-
ulations for child restraint
systems.
Use a child restraint system until
the child becomes large enough
to properly wear the vehicle’s
seat belt.
Choose a child restraint system
appropriate to the age and size
of the child.
Note that not all child restraint
systems can fit in all vehicles.
Before using or purchasing a
child restraint system, check the
compatibility of th e child restraint
system with seat positions.
( P.52, 58)
Points to remember
WA R N I N G
■When a child is riding
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●For effective protection in automo- bile accidents and sudden stops, a
child must be properly restrained,
using a seat belt or child restraint system which is corr ectly installed.
For installation details, refer to the
operation manual enclosed with the child restraint system. General
installation instruction is provided in
this manual.
●Toyota strongly urges the use of a
proper child rest raint system that conforms to the weight and size of
the child, installed on the rear seat.
According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly
restrained in the rear seat than in
the front seat.
●Holding a child in your or someone
else’s arms is not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an acci-
dent, the child can be crushed
against the windshield or between the holder and the interior of the
vehicle.
■Handling the child restraint sys-
tem
If the child restraint system is not properly fixed in place, the child or
other passengers may be seriously
injured or even killed in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving, or
an accident.
●If the vehicle were to receive a
strong impact from an accident,
etc., it is possible that the child restraint system has damage that is
not readily visible. In such cases,
do not reuse the restraint system.

■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 rest raint 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.
●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.
●Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint sys-
tem manufacturer.
