2023 TOYOTA COROLLA CROSS child restraint

561-2. Child safety
■Child restraint LATCH
anchors
LATCH anchors are provided for
the outboard rear seat. (Marks
displaying the location of the
anchors are attached to the
seats.)
WARNING
●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
backward to ensure that it has
been securely installed.
●After securing a child restraint
system, never adjust the seat.
●When a booster 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 instruc-
tions provided by the child
restraint system manufacturer.
●When securing some types of
child restraint s ystems in rear
seats, it may not be possible to
properly use the seat belts in
positions next to the child
restraint without interfering with
it or affecting seat belt effective-
ness. Be sure your seat belt fits
snugly across your shoulder
and low on your hips. If it does
not, or if it interferes with the
child restraint, move to a differ-
ent position. Failure to do so
may result in death or serious
injury.
■When installing a booster
seat
To prevent the belt from going into
ALR lock mode, do not fully
extend the shoulder belt. ALR
mode causes the belt to tighten
only. This could cause injury or
discomfort to the child. (
P. 2 7 )
■Do not use a seat belt
extender
If a seat belt extender is used
when installing a child restraint
system, the seat belt will not
securely hold the child restraint
system, which could cause death
or serious injury to the child or
other passengers in the event of
sudden braking, sudden swerv-
ing or an accident.

operation manual regarding
the installation, using the top
tether strap to latch onto the
top tether strap anchor.
( P.61)
4 After installing the child
restraint system, rock it back
and forth to ensure that it is
installed securely. ( P.56)
■When installing in the rear
center seat
There are no LATCH anchors
behind the rear center seat.

581-2. Child safety
However, the inboard LATCH
anchors of the outboard seats,
which are 16.1 in. (410 mm)
apart, can be used if the child
restraint system manufacturer’s
instructions permit use of those
anchors with the anchor spacing
stated.
Child restraint systems with rigid
lower attachments cannot be
installed in the center seat. This
type of child restraint system
can only be installed in the out-
board seat.
■Laws and regulations pertain-
ing to anchors
The LATCH system conforms to
FMVSS225 or CMVSS210.2.
Child restraint systems conforming
to FMVSS213 or CMVSS213 speci-
fications can be used.
This vehicle is designed to conform
to SAE J1819.
■ISOFIX lower anchorages
(ISOFIX child restraint sys-
tem)
Lower anchorages are provided
for the outboard rear seats.
(Marks displaying the location of
the anchorages are attached to
the seats.)
WARNING
■When installing a child
restraint system
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so m ay result in
death or serious injury.
●When using the LATCH
anchors, be sure that there are
no foreign objects around the
anchors and that the seat belt is
not caught behind the child
restraint system.
●Follow all installation instruc-
tions provided by the child
restraint system manufacturer.
●Never attach two c hild restraint
system attachments to the
same anchor. In a collision, one
anchor may not be strong
enough to hold two child
restraint system attachments
and may break. If the LATCH
anchors are already in use, use
the seat belt to install a child
restraint system in the center
seat.
●When securing some types of
child restraint systems in rear
seats, it may not be possible to
properly use the seat belts in
positions next to the child
restraint without interfering with
it or affecting seat belt effective-
ness. Be sure your seat belt fits
snugly across your shoulder
and low on your hips. If it does
not, or if it interferes with the
child restraint, move to a differ-
ent position. Fa ilure to do so
may result in death or serious
injury.
●If the seat is adjusted, reconfirm
the security of the child restraint
system.

the child restraint system maker
for various possible installation
positions, or check the compati-
bility after asking the retailer of
the child seat. ( P.48, 49)

restraint system, rock it back
and forth to ensure that it is
installed securely. ( P.56)
■When installing in the rear
center seat
There are no lower anchorages
behind the rear center seat.
However, the inboard lower
anchorages of the outboard
seats, which are 16.1 in. (410
mm) apart, can be used if the
child restraint system manufac-
turer’s instructions permit use of
those anchorages with the
anchorage spacing stated.

lower attachments cannot be
installed in the center seat. This
type of child restraint system
can only be installed in the out-
board seat.
■When using an “i-Size MIDI”

WARNING
■When installing a child
restraint system
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury.
●When using the lower anchor-
ages, be sure that there are no
foreign objects around the
anchorages and that the seat
belt is not caught behind the
child restraint system.
●Follow all installation instruc-
tions provided by the child
restraint system manufacturer.
●Never attach two c hild restraint
system attachments to the
same anchorage. In a collision,
one anchorage may not be
strong enough to hold two child
restraint system attachments
and may break. If the lower
anchorages are already in use,
use the seat belt to install a
child restraint system in the cen-
ter seat.
●When securing some types of
child restraint systems in rear
