Child restraint systems

Toyota strongly urges the use of child restraint systems.

Points to remember

Studies have shown that installing a child restraint on a rear seat is

much safer than installing one on the front passenger seat.

● Choose a child restraint system that suits your vehicle and is appro-

priate to the age and size of the child.

● For installation details, follow the instructions provided with the child

restraint system.

General installation instructions are provided in this manual.

(→P. 52)

● If child restraint system regulations exist in the country where you

reside, please contact your Toyota dealer for the child restraint sys-

tem installation.

● Toyota recommends that you use a child restraint system which

conforms to the regulation ECE No.44.

■Selecting an appropriate child restraint system

●Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child becomes

large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.

●If the child is too large for a child restraint system, sit the child on a rear seat

and use the vehicle’s seat belt. (→P. 32)

WARNING

■Using a child restraint system

The use of a child restraint system not suitable for the vehicle may not prop-

erly secure the infant or child. It may result in death or serious injury (in the

event of sudden braking or an accident).

■Child restraint precautions

●For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child

must be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system

depending on the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is

not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be

crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle’s interior.

●Toyota strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that con-

forms to the size of the child, installed on the rear seat.

WARNING

■Child restraint precautions

Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by

the child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If it

is not secured properly, it may cause death or serious injury to the child in

the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or an accident.

■When children are in the vehicle

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.

■When the child restraint system is not in use

●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 pas-

senger compartment.

●If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from the

vehicle or store it securely in the luggage compartment. This will prevent it

from injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or

an accident.
