■When children are in the vehicle
Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle, and never allow children to have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehi-
cle or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is also a danger that children
may injure themselves by playing with
the windows, the moon roof (if
equipped) or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or
extremely cold temperatures inside
the vehicle can be fatal to children.
Child restraint systems
Before installing a child
restraint system in the vehicle,
there are precautions that need
to be observed, different types
of child restraint systems, as
well as installation methods,
etc., written in this manual.
Use a child restraint system
when riding with a small child
that cannot properly use a seat
belt. For the child’s safety,
install the child restraint sys-
tem to a rear se at. Be sure to
follow the insta llation method
that is in the operation manual
enclosed with the restraint sys-
tem.
The use of a Toyota genuine
child restraint system is rec-
ommended, as it is safer to
use in this vehicle. Toyota gen-
uine child restraint systems
are made specifically for
Toyota vehicles. They can be
purchased at a Toyota dealer.

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.

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 to a front pas-
senger seat
For the safety of a child, install a
child restraint system to a rear seat.
When installing a child restraint
system to a front passenger seat is
unavoidable, adjust the seat as fol-
lows and install t he child restraint
system:
Move the front seat fully rear-
ward.
If the passenger seat height can
be adjusted, Adjust the seat
height to the upper most posi-
tion.
Adjust the seatback angle to the
most upright position.
If there is a gap between the child seat
and the seatback, adjust the seatback
angle until good contact is achieved.
If the head restraint interferes
with your child restraint system,
and the head restraint can be
removed, remove the head
restraint.
Otherwise, put the head restraint in the
upper most position.
WA R N I N G
●Depending on the child restraint
system, installation may be difficult
or impossible. In those cases, check whether the child restraint
system is suitable for installment in
the vehicle. ( P.52) Be sure to install and observe the usage rules
after carefully reading the child
restraint system fixing method in
this manual, as well as the opera- tion manual enclosed with the child
restraint system.
●Keep the child re straint system
properly secured on the seat even if
it is not in use. Do not store the child restraint system unsecured in
the passenger compartment.
●If it is necessary to detach the child
restraint system, remove it from the
vehicle or store it securely in the trunk.

●Never use a rear-facing child
restraint system on the front pas-
senger seat when the airbag man- ual on-off switch is on. ( P.45) The
force of the rapid inflation of the
front passenger airbag can cause death or serious injury to children in
the event of an accident.
●There is a label(s) on the passen- ger side sun visor, indicating it is
forbidden to attach a rear-facing
child restraint system to the front passenger seat.
Details of the label(s) are shown in
the illustration below.

●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).
●Vehicles with SRS side airbags or
SRS curtain shield airbags: 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 airbags deploy
even if the child is seated in the
child restraint system. It is danger- ous if the SRS side and curtain
shield airbags inflate, and the
impact could cause death or seri- ous 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.

Check the selected child restraint
system together with the following
[Before confirming the compatibility
of each seating position with child
restraint systems].
■Before confirming the compat-
ibility of each seating position
with child restraint systems
1 Checking the child restraint sys-
tem standards.
Use a child restraint system that
conforms to UN(ECE) R44*1 or
UN(ECE) R129*1, 2.
The following approval mark is
displayed on child restraint sys-
tems which are conformed.
Check for an approval mark

●Use child restraint system suitable
to the age and size of the child and
install it to the rear seat.
●If the driver’s seat interferes with
the child restraint system and pre- vents it from being attached cor-
rectly, attach the child restraint
system to the righ t-hand rear seat
(left-hand drive vehicles) or the left-hand rear seat (right-hand drive
