Pay attention to the specifica-
tions and the operating and
safety information of the child
restraint system manufacturer
when selecting, installing, and
using child restraint systems.
WARNING
The safety belt cannot be fas-
tened correctly on children shorter
than 5 ft, 150 cm without suitable
additional child restraint systems.
The efficacy of safety gear, includ-
ing safety belts, can be limited or
lost when safety belts are fas-
tened incorrectly. An incorrectly
fastened safety belt can cause
additional injuries, for instance in
the event of an accident or during
braking and evasive maneuvers.
There is a risk of injuries or dan-
ger to life. Secure children shorter
than 5 ft, 150 cm using suitable
child restraint systems.

General information
Safety information
WARNING
The protective effect of child
restraint systems and their fasten-
ing systems which have been
damaged or exposed to an acci-
dent can be limited or lost. A child
cannot be properly restrained in
the event of an accident or brak-
ing and evasive maneuvers.
There is a risk of injuries or dan-
ger to life. Do not use child
restraint systems which have
been damaged or exposed to an
accident. If a child restraint sys-
tem and its fastening system has
been damaged or exposed to an
accident, have these systems
checked and replaced by your
Toyota dealer.

system is limited or compromised
with incorrect seat adjustment or
improper installation of the child

against the backrest. If possible,
adjust the backrest tilt for all
affected backrests and correctly
