You need a locking clip to install the child restraint system using a seat belt.

Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the system. If your

child restraint system does not provide a locking clip, you can purchase the

WARNING

■When installing a child restraint system

Follow the directions given in the child restraint system installation manual

and fix the child restraint system securely in place.

If the child restraint system is not correctly fixed in place, the child or other

passengers may be seriously injured or even killed in the event of a sudden

braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

●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

second seat (left-hand drive vehicles) or

the left-hand second seat (right-hand

drive vehicles) second seat.

●Adjust the front passenger seat so that

it does not interfere with the child

restraint system.

●Do not install a child restraint system to

the front passenger seat, the second

row center seat or to any third row seat.

These seats are not designed to hold a

child restraint system.

Installing a child restraint system to one

of these seats may result in death or

serious injury in the event of sudden

braking, sudden swerving or an acci-

dent.

of an accident.

●There is a label(s) on the passenger

side sun visor, indicating it is forbidden

to attach a rear-facing child restraint

WARNING

■When installing a child restraint system

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

please contact your Toyota dealer for the child restraint system installation.

●When a junior (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. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury in the

event of a sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

●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.

●Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system

manufacturer.

●Make sure to properly store the removed head restraint in a secure place

when you use the child restraint system on the rear seat.

●Second seats: When using a seat next to the child restraint system, adjust

the seats to align the left and right seat positions, seat backs, and the

height of the head restraints. Make sure the shoulder belt fits across the

shoulder and the lap belt fits as low as possible on the hips. When sitting

in the seat next to a child restraint system, depending on the type of the

child restraint system, the system may interfere with the body or seat belt

of the person. Thus, the seat belt of that person may not be able to be fas-

tened properly and may not be able to realize sufficient effectiveness. In

that case, another seat must be used. Failure to do so may result in death

or serious injury.

■To correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchors

When using the lower 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. Make sure the child restraint system is securely attached,

or it may cause death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in

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