Safety information
WARNING
Use of a safety belt to buckle
more than one person will poten-
tially defeat the ability of the
safety belt to serve its protective
function. There is a risk of injuries
or danger to life. Do not allow
more than one person to wear a
single safety belt. Infants and chil-
dren are not allowed on an occu-
pant's lap, but must be
transported and secured in desig-
nated child restraint systems.
WARNING
The efficacy of safety gear, includ-
ing safety belts, c
an 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 o f injuries or dan-
ger to life. Make sure that all
occupants are wearing safety
belts correctly.

posture not only helps reduce
fatigue while driving, but helps
ensure that the occupant protec-
tion devices, such as the seat
belts and airbags, will operate
correctly in a collision, reducing
the impact to the occupants.The most basic occupant pro-
tection device is the seat belt.
The airbags are designed to
supplement the seat belts, not
be used in place of them. Wear-
ing the seat belt correctly
ensures that the occupants are
securely held in the seats and
helps prevent them from con-
tacting interior parts or being
thrown from the vehicle in a col-
lision. Therefore, it is necessary
for all occupants to wear their
seat belt. If a seat belt is worn
improperly, its effectiveness as
an occupant protection device
will be severely reduced. Pay
attention to the following to
ensure the correct driving pos-
ture and use of the seat belts.

After using a child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat,
ensure that the front, knee, and
side airbags on the front pas-
senger side are deactivated. For
automatic deactivation of front-

page 175.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
Exposure to intense sunlight can
cause child restraint systems and
their components to become very
hot. Persons may sustain burn
injuries when touching the hot
components. There is a risk of
injury. Do not e
xpose the child
restraint system to direct sunlight
or cover where necessary. If nec-
essary, let the ch ild restraint sys-
tem cool down before transporting
a child. Do not leave children
unattended in the vehicle.

Before installing a child restraint
system in the front passenger
seat, make sure that the front,
knee and side airbags on the
front passenger side are deacti-
vated.
Deactivate the front-seat pas-
senger airbags automatically,
refer to page 175.
After installing a child restraint
system, move the front passen-
ger seat as far back as it will go
and, if possible, bring it up to
medium height. This seat posi-
tion and height ensure the best
possible position for the belt and
offers optimal protection in the
event of an accident.
If the upper anchor of the safety
belt is located in front of the belt
guide of the child seat, move the
front passenger seat carefully
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 a
ccident or brak-
ing and evasive maneuvers.
There is a risk o f injuries or dan-
ger to life. Do not use child
restraint systems which have
been damaged or e xposed to an
accident. If a child restraint sys-
tem and its fastening system has
been damaged or e xposed to an
accident, have these systems
checked and replaced by your
Toyota dealer.

The stability of the child restraint
system is limited or compromised
with incorrect seat adjustment or
improper installati on of the child

danger to life. Make sure that the
child restraint system fits securely
against the backrest. If possible,
adjust the backr est tilt for all
affected backrests and correctly
adjust the seats. Make sure that
