2023 TOYOTA COROLLA Owners Manual

491-2. Child safety
1
For safety and security
WARNING
●For effective protection in auto-
mobile accidents and sudden
stops, a child must be properly
restrained, using a seat belt or
child restraint system which is
correctly installed. For installa-
tion details, ref er to the opera-
tion manual enclosed with the
child restraint system. General
installation instruction is pro-
vided in this manual.
●Toyota strongly urges the use of
a proper child restraint 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 some-
one else’s arms is not a substi-
tute for a child restraint system.
In an accident, the child can be
crushed against the windshield
or between the holder and the
interior of the vehicle.
■Handling the child restraint
system
If the child restraint system is not
properly fixed in place, the child or
other passengers may be seri-
ously 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 possib le that the child
restraint system has damage
that is not readily visible. In
such cases, do not reuse the
restraint system.
●For Puerto Rico: Depending on
the child restraint system, instal-
lation may be difficult or impos-
sible. In those cases, check
whether the child restraint sys-
tem is suitable for installment in
the vehicle. (
P.55) 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 operation manual
enclosed with the child restraint
system.
●Except for Puerto Rico: Make
sure you have complied with all
installation instructions provided
with the child restraint system
manufacturer and that the sys-
tem is properly secured.
●Keep the child restraint 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.

■When installing a child
restraint system to a front
passenger 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 pas-
senger seat is unavoidable,
adjust the seat as follows and
install the 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
position.
 Adjust the seatback angle to
the most upright position.
If there is a gap between the child
seat and the seatb ack, adjust the
seatback angle until good contact is
achieved.
 If the head restraint interferes
with the child restraint system
installation and the head
restraint can be removed,
remove the head restraint.
Otherwise, put the head restraint in
the upper mo st position.

WARNING
■When using a child restraint
system
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so m ay result in
death or serious injury.
●Never install a rear-facing child
restraint system on the front
passenger seat even if the “AIR
BAG OFF” indicator light is illu-
minated. In the event of an acci-
dent, the force of the rapid
inflation of the front passenger
airbag can cause death or seri-
ous injury to the child if the
rear-facing child restraint sys-
tem is installed on the front pas-
senger seat.
●A forward-facing child restraint
system may be installed on the
front passenger seat only when
it is unavoidable. A child
restraint system that requires a
top tether strap should not be
used in the front passenger seat
since there is no top tether strap
anchor for the fr ont passenger
seat.
●A forward-facing child restraint
system may be installed on the
front passenger seat only when
it is unavoidable. When install-
ing a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front
passenger seat, adjust the seat-
back angle to the most upright
position, move the seat to the
rearmost position, and raise the
seat to the upper most position,
even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-
cator light is illuminated. If the
head restraint interferes with the
child restraint system installa-
tion and the head restraint can
be removed, remove the head
restraint.
●Do not allow th e 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 sys-
tem. It is dangerous if the SRS
side and curtain shield airbags
inflate, and the impact could
cause death or serious injury to
the child.

■Child restraint system com-
patibility for each seating
position
Compatibility of each seating
position with child restraint sys-
tems ( P.56) displays the type
of child restraint systems that
can be used and possible seat- ing positions for installation
using symbols.
Also, the recommended child
restraint system that is suitable
for your child can be selected.
Otherwise, check [Recom-
mended child restraint systems
and Compatibility table] for rec-
ommended child restraint sys-
tems. (
P.59)
Check the selected child
restraint system together with
the following [Before confirming
the compatibility of each seating
position with child restraint sys-
tems].
■Before confirming the com-
patibility of each seating
position with child restraint
systems
1 Checking the child restraint
system 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
systems which are con-
formed.
Check for an approval mark
WARNING
●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.
●Use child restraint system suit-
able 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 prevents it from being
attached correctly, attach the
child restraint system to the
right-hand rear seat.
●Adjust the front passenger seat
so that it does no t interfere with
the child restraint system.
