seat belt. 
 Choose a child restraint system  
appropriate to the age and size  
of the child.

Child restraint systems
Before installing a child  
restraint system in the vehicle,  
there are precautions that need  
to be observed, different types  
of child restra int 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 seat. Be sure to  
follow the installation 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.

For safety and security
*1: Move the front seat fully rearward. If  
the passenger seat height can be 
adjusted, move it to the upper most 
position.
*2: Adjust the seatback angle to the 
most upright position. When install-
ing a forward-facing child seat, if 
there is a gap between the child seat 
and the seatback, adjust the 
seatback angle until good contact is 
achieved.
*3: 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.
When securing some types of child  
restraint systems in rear seat, 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 effec- 
tiveness. 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 different position. Failure  
to do so may result in death or seri- 
ous injury. 
 When installing a child restraint  
in the rear seats, adjust the front  
seat so that it does not interfere  
with the child or child restraint  
system. 
 When installing a child seat with  
support base, if the child seat  
interferes with the seatback  
when latching it into the support  
base, adjust the seatback rear- 
ward until there is no interfer- 
ence.
Deactivation of front passenger  
airbag. 
Activation of front passenger  
airbag. Never use a rearward-
facing child restraint system on 
the front passenger seat when 
the airbag manual on-off switch 
is on.

WARNING
■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 restraint 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.
