1-1. For safe use

WARNING

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may cause the driver’s floor mat to slip, possibly interfering

with the pedals while driving. An unexpectedly high speed may result or it may

become difficult to stop the vehicle. This could lead to an accident, resulting in

death or serious injury.

1

■When installing the driver’s floor mat

●Do not use floor mats designed for other models or different model year

vehicles, even if they are Toyota Genuine floor mats.

●Only use floor mats designed for the driver’s seat.

●Always install the floor mat securely using the retaining hooks (clips) pro-

vided.

●Do not use two or more floor mats on top of each other.

●Do not place the floor mat bottom-side up or upside-down.

■Before driving

●Check that the floor mat is securely

fixed in the correct place with all the

provided retaining hooks (clips). Be

especially careful to perform this check

after cleaning the floor.

●With the engine stopped and the shift

lever in P (Multidrive) or N (manual

transmission), fully depress each pedal

to the floor to make sure it does not

interfere with the floor mat.

32

1-1. For safe use

For safety drive

For safe driving, adjust the seat and mirror to an appropriate

position before driving.

Correct driving posture

1

Adjust the angle of the seat-

back so that you are sitting

straight up and so that you do

not have to lean forward to

steer. (→P. 166)

2

Adjust the seat so that you can

depress the pedals fully and so

that your arms bend slightly at

the elbow when gripping the

steering wheel. (→P. 166)

3

Lock the head restraint in place with the center of the head restraint

closest to the top of your ears. (→P. 172)

4

Wear the seat belt correctly. (→P. 34)

Correct use of the seat belts

Make sure that all occupants are wearing their seat belts before driv-

ing the vehicle. (→P. 34)

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

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

(→P. 55)

Adjusting the mirrors

Make sure that you can see backward clearly by adjusting the inside

and outside rear view mirrors properly. (→P. 176, 179)

33

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

●Do not adjust the position of the driver’s seat while driving.

Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

●Do not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seatback.

A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce

the effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint.

1

●Do not place anything under the front seats.

Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the seat

tracks and stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an acci-

dent and the adjustment mechanism may also be damaged.

●Always observe the legal speed limit when driving on public roads.

●When driving over long distances, take regular breaks before you start to

feel tired.

Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while driving, do not force yourself to con-

tinue driving and take a break immediately.

34

1-1. For safe use

Seat belts

Make sure that all occupants are wearing their seat belts before

driving the vehicle.

Correct use of the seat belts

● Extend the shoulder belt so that

it comes fully over the shoulder,

but does not come into contact

with the neck or slide off the

shoulder.

● Position the lap belt as low as

possible over the hips.

● Adjust the position of the seat-

back. Sit up straight and well

back in the seat.

● Do not twist the seat belt.

Fastening and releasing the seat belt

1

To fasten the seat belt, push the

plate into the buckle until a click

Seat belt pretensioners (front and outboard rear seats)

The pretensioners help the seat

belts to quickly restrain the occu-

pants by retracting the seat belts

when the vehicle is subjected to

certain types of severe frontal or

side collision.

The pretensioners do not activate

in the event of a minor frontal

impact, a minor side impact, a rear

impact or a vehicle rollover.

36

1-1. For safe use

■Emergency locking retractor (ELR)

The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also

lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to

extend so that you can move around fully.

■Child seat belt usage

The seat belts of your vehicle were principally designed for persons of adult

size.

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

becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt. (→P. 55)

●When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat

belt, follow the instructions regarding seat belt usage. (→P. 34)

■Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated

If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate for

the first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent collisions.

■Seat belt regulations

If seat belt regulations exist in the country where you reside, please contact

any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and

equipped professional for seat belt replacement or installation.

37

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of

sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

Failing to do so may cause death or serious injury.

■Wearing a seat belt

●Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt.

●Always wear a seat belt properly.

1

●Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt

for more than one person at once, including children.

●Toyota recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and always

use a seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.

●To achieve a proper seating position, do not recline the seat more than

necessary. The seat belt is most effective when the occupants are sitting

up straight and well back in the seats.

●Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.

●Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips.

■Pregnant women

Obtain medical advice and wear the seat

belt in the proper way. (→P. 34)

Women who are pregnant should posi-

tion the lap belt as low as possible over

the hips in the same manner as other

occupants. Extend the shoulder belt

completely over the shoulder and posi-

tion the belt across the chest. Avoid belt

contact over the rounding of the abdomi-

nal area.

If the seat belt is not worn properly, not

only a pregnant woman, but also the

fetus could suffer death or serious injury

as a result of sudden braking or a colli-

sion.

■People suffering illness

Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way.

■When children are in the vehicle

→P. 68

38

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

■Seat belt pretensioners

If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will come on. In that

case, the seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced at any

authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped

professional.

■Adjustable shoulder anchor

Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of your

shoulder. The belt should be kept away from your neck, but not falling off

your shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce the amount of protection in an

accident and cause death or serious injuries in the event of a sudden stop,

sudden swerve or accident. (→P. 35)

■Seat belt damage and wear

●Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be

jammed in the door.

●Inspect the seat belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose

parts. Do not use a damaged seat belt until it is replaced. Damaged seat

belt cannot protect an occupant from death or serious injury.

●Ensure that the belt and plate are locked and the belt is not twisted.

If the seat belt does not function correctly, immediately contact any autho-

rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-

fessional.

●Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been

involved in a serious accident, even if there is no obvious damage.

●Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of the

seat belts. Have any necessary repairs carried out by any authorized

Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-

sional. Inappropriate handling of the pretensioner may prevent it from

operating properly resulting in death or serious injury.

●Always make sure the shoulder belt passes through the guide when using

the seat belt. Failure to properly position the belt may reduce the amount

of protection in an accident and could lead to serious injuries in a collision

or sudden stop.

●Always make sure that the seat belt is not twisted, does not get caught in

the guide or the seatback and is arranged in the proper position.

The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The

SRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. As

the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the

airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occu-

pants.

WARNING

1

■SRS airbag precautions

Observe the following precautions regarding the SRS airbags.

Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.

●The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts

properly.

The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts.

●The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause

death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag.

Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 50 - 75 mm (2 - 3 in.)

of inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10 in.) from your driver airbag pro-

vides you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured from

the center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than

250 mm (10 in.) away now, you can change your driving position in sev-

eral ways:

• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the

pedals comfortably.

• Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle designs vary,

many drivers can achieve the 250 mm (10 in.) distance, even with the

driver seat all the way forward, simply by reclining the back of the seat

somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to see the

road, raise yourself by using a firm, non-slippery cushion, or raise the

seat if your vehicle has that feature.

• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the air-

bag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.

The seat should be adjusted as recommended above, while still maintaining

control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instrument

panel controls.

42

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

■SRS airbag precautions

●The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and

can cause death or serious injury especially if the front passenger is very

close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far from the air-

bag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits

upright.

●Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or

seriously injured by a deploying airbag. An infant or child who is too small

to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint sys-

tem. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in

the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats are

safer for infants and children than the front passenger seat. (→P. 55)

●Do not sit on the edge of the seat or

lean against the dashboard.

●Do not allow a child to stand in front of

the SRS front passenger airbag unit or

sit on the knees of a front passenger.

●Do not allow the front seat occupants to

hold items on their knees.

43

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

■SRS airbag precautions

●Do not lean against the door, the roof

side rail or the front, side and rear pil-

lars.

1

●Do not allow anyone to kneel on the

passenger seat toward the door or put

their head or hands outside the vehicle.

●Do not attach anything to or lean any-

thing against areas such as the dash-

board, steering wheel pad and lower

portion of the instrument panel.

These items can become projectiles

when the SRS driver, front passenger

and knee airbags deploy.

44

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

■SRS airbag precautions

●Do not attach anything to areas such as

a door, windshield glass, side door

glass, front or rear pillar, roof side rail

and assist grip. (Vehicles with emer-

gency tire puncture repair kit: Except for

the speed limit label →P. 570)

●Vehicles without smart entry & start sys-

tem: Do not attach any heavy, sharp or

hard objects such as keys and accesso-

ries to the key. The objects may restrict

the SRS knee airbag inflation or be

thrust into the driver’s seat area by the

force of the deploying airbag, thus caus-

ing a danger.

●Do not hang coat hangers or other hard objects on the coat hooks. All of

these items could become projectiles and may cause death or serious

injury, should the SRS curtain shield airbag deploy.

45

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

■SRS airbag precautions

●If the vinyl cover is put on the area where the SRS knee airbag will

deploys, be sure to remove it.

●Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side

airbags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the airbags. Such

accessories may prevent the side airbags from activating correctly, disable

the system or cause the side airbags to inflate accidentally, resulting in

death or serious injury.

1

●Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS air-

bag components.

Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.

●Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS air-

bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.

●If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbags have deployed, open a

door or window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to do

so. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation.

●If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel

pad and front and rear pillar garnishes, are damaged or cracked, have

them replaced by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly

qualified and equipped professional.

■Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components

Do not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modifications

without consulting any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly

qualified and equipped professional. The SRS airbags may malfunction or

deploy (inflate) accidentally, causing death or serious injury.

●Installation, removal, disassembly and repair of the SRS airbags.

●Repairs, modifications, removal or replacement of the steering wheel,

instrument panel, dashboard, seats or seat upholstery, front, side and rear

pillars or roof side rail.

●Repairs or modifications of the front fender, front bumper, or side of the

occupant compartment.

●Installation of a grille guard (bull bars, kangaroo bar, etc.), snow plows or

winches.

●Modifications to the vehicle’s suspension system.

●Installation of electronic devices such as mobile two-way radios (RF-trans-

mitters) and CD players.

46

1-1. For safe use

■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)

●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may be sustained from SRS airbags,

due to the extremely high speed deployment (inflation) by hot gases.

●A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.

●Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as

well as the front seats, front pillar and roof side rail, may be hot for several

minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.

●The windshield may crack.

■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags)

●The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the

set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approximately 20 -

30 km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or

deform).

However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher in the following

situations:

• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole,

which can move or deform on impact

• If the vehicle is involved in an underride collision, such as a collision in

which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a

truck

●Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt pre-

tensioners will activate.

■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield airbags)

●The SRS side and curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of an

impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding

to the impact force produced by an approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehicle

colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle

orientation at an approximate speed of 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph]).

●SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy in the event of a severe frontal

collision.

47

1-1. For safe use

■Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other than

a collision

The SRS front airbags and SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy if a

serious impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some examples are

shown in the illustration.

●Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard

surface

1

●Falling into or jumping over a deep hole

●Landing hard or falling

■Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS front air-

bags)

The SRS front airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle is involved in a

side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed frontal

collision. But, whenever a collision of any type causes sufficient forward

deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front airbags may occur.

●Collision from the side

●Collision from the rear

●Vehicle rollover

48

1-1. For safe use

■Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags

(SRS side and curtain shield airbags)

The SRS side and curtain shield airbags may not activate if the vehicle is

subjected to a collision from the side at certain angles, or a collision to the

side of the vehicle body other than the passenger compartment.

●Collision from the side to the vehicle

body other than the passenger compart-

ment

●Collision from the side at an angle

The SRS side airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle is involved in a

frontal or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed side

collision.

●Collision from the front

●Collision from the rear

●Vehicle rollover

The SRS curtain shield airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle is

involved in a rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed side

or low-speed frontal collision.

●Collision from the rear

●Vehicle rollover

49

■When to contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another

duly qualified and equipped professional

In the following cases, the vehicle will require inspection and/or repair. Con-

tact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and

equipped professional, as soon as possible.

●Any of the SRS airbags have been inflated.

●The front of the vehicle is damaged or

deformed, or was involved in an acci-

dent that was not severe enough to

cause the SRS front airbags to inflate.

1

●A portion of a door or its surrounding

area is damaged or deformed, or the

vehicle was involved in an accident that

was not severe enough to cause the

SRS side and curtain shield airbags to

inflate.

●The pad section of the steering wheel,

dashboard near the front passenger air-

bag or lower portion of the instrument

panel is scratched, cracked, or other-

wise damaged.

●The surface of the seats with the side

Exhaust gas precautions

Harmful substance to the human body is included in exhaust

gases if inhaled.

1

WARNING

Exhaust gases include harmful carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and

odorless. Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases enter the vehicle and may lead to

an accident caused by light-headedness, or may lead to death or a serious

health hazard.

■Important points while driving

●Keep the trunk lid (sedan) or back door (wagon) closed.

●If you smell exhaust gases in the vehicle even when the trunk lid (sedan)

or back door (wagon) is closed, open the windows and have the vehicle

inspected at any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly

qualified and equipped professional as soon as possible.

■When parking

●If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area or a closed area, such as a

garage, stop the engine.

●Do not leave the vehicle with the engine running for a long time.

If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space

and ensure that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior.

●Do not leave the engine running in an area with snow build-up, or where it

is snowing. If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the engine is

running, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle.

■Exhaust pipe

The exhaust system needs to be checked periodically. If there is a hole or

crack caused by corrosion, damage to a joint or abnormal exhaust noise, be

sure to have the vehicle inspected and repaired by any authorized Toyota

dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

WARNING

■When installing a child restraint system

For safety reasons, always install the child restraint system in a rear seat. In

the event that the rear seat cannot be used, the front seat can be used as

long as the airbag manual on-off system is set to “OFF”.

If the airbag manual on-off system is left “ON”, the strong impact of the air-

bag deployment (inflation) may cause serious injury or even death.

■When a child restraint system is not installed on the front passenger

seat

Ensure that the airbag manual on-off system is set to “ON”.

If it is left “OFF”, the airbag may not deploy in the event of an accident,

which may result in serious injury or even death.

54

1-2. Child safety

Safety information for children

Observe the following precautions when children are in the vehi-

cle.

Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the

child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat

belt.

● It is recommended that children sit in the rear seats to avoid acci-

dental contact with the shift lever, wiper switch etc.

● Use the rear door child-protector lock or the window lock switch to

avoid children opening the door while driving or operating the

power window accidentally.

● Do not let small children operate equipment which may catch or

pinch body parts, such as the power window, hood, trunk (sedan),

back door (wagon), seats etc.

WARNING

Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to

have or use the key.

Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral.

There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with

the windows or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or

extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

55

1-2. Child safety

Child restraint systems

Before installing a child restraint system in the vehicle, there are

precautions that need to be observed, different types of child

restraint systems, as well as installation methods, etc., written in

this manual.

1

● Use a child restraint system when riding with a small child that

can not properly use a seat belt. For the child’s safety, install the

child restraint system to a rear seat. Be sure to follow the installa-

tion method that is in the operation manual enclosed with the

restraint system.

● The use of a Toyota genuine child restraint system is recom-

mended, as it is safer to use in this vehicle. Toyota genuine child

restraint systems are made specifically for Toyota vehicles. They

can be purchased at a Toyota dealer.

1-2. Child safety

WARNING

■When a child is riding

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

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

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

which is correctly installed. For installation details, refer to the operation

manual enclosed with the child restraint system. General installation

instruction is provided in this manual.

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

forms to the weight and size of the child, installed on the rear seat. Accord-

ing 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 someone else’s arms is not a substitute 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 seriously 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

possible that the child restraint system has damage that is not readily visi-

ble. In such cases, do not reuse the restraint system.

●Depending on the child restraint system, installation may be difficult or

impossible. In those cases, check whether the child restraint system is

suitable for installment in the vehicle. (→P. 64, 69) 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.

●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.

When using a child restraint system

■ 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 passenger

seat is unavoidable, adjust the seat as follows and install the child

restraint system.

1

● Raise the seatback as much

as possible.

● Move the seat to the rear-

most position.

● Raise the seat to the upper-

most position.

● If the head restraint interferes

with the child restraint sys-

tem installation and the head

restraint can be removed,

remove the head restraint.

62

1-2. Child safety

WARNING

■When using a child restraint system

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

●Never use a rear-facing child restraint

system on the front passenger seat

when the airbag manual on-off switch is

on. (→P. 52)

The force of the rapid inflation of the

front passenger airbag can cause death

or serious injury to children in the event

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

system to the front passenger seat.

Details of the label(s) are shown in the

illustration below.

63

1-2. Child safety

WARNING

■When using a child restraint system

●Only put a forward-facing child restraint

system on the front seat when unavoid-

able. When installing a forward-facing

child restraint on the front passenger

seat, move the seat as far back as pos-

sible. Failing to do so may result in

death or serious injury if the airbags

deploy (inflate).

1

●Do not allow the 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 system. It is

dangerous if the SRS side airbags and

curtain shield airbags inflate, and the

impact could cause death or serious

injury to the child.

●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.

●Use child restraint system suitable 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 (left-hand drive vehicles) or

the left-hand rear seat (right-hand drive

vehicles). (→P. 66, 73)

1-2. Child safety

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

serious injury.

The child restraint systems mentioned in the table may not be avail-

able outside the EU area.

● 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 sys-

tem.

● When installing a child seat with support base, if the child seat inter-

feres with the seatback when latching it into the support base,

adjust the seatback rearward until there is no interference.

● When installing a forward-fac-

ing child seat, if there is a gap

between the child seat and the

seatback, adjust the seatback

angle until good contact is

achieved.

If the seat belt shoulder anchor

is ahead of the child seat belt

guide, move the seat cushion

forward.

67

1-2. Child safety

● When installing a junior seat, if the child in your child restraint sys-

tem is in a very upright position, adjust the seatback angle to the

most comfortable position. And if the seat belt shoulder anchor is

ahead of the child seat belt guide, move the seat cushion forward.

◆ Installing child restraint system using a seat belt

Install the child restraint system in accordance to the operation

manual enclosed with the child restraint system.

1

Front passenger seat:

If installing the child restraint system to the front passenger seat

is unavoidable, refer to P. 61 for front passenger seat adjustment.

Rear seat:

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

most position. (→P. 172)

2

Run the seat belt through the

child restraint system and

insert the plate into the

buckle. Make sure that the

belt is not twisted. Securely

fix the seat belt to the child

restraint system in accor-

dance to the directions

enclosed with the child

restraint system.

3

◆ Removing a child restraint system installed with a seat belt

Press the buckle release button and fully retract the seat belt.

When releasing the buckle, the child restraint system may spring up due

to the rebound of the seat cushion. Release the buckle while holding

down the child restraint system.

Since the seat belt automatically reels itself, slowly return it to the stow-

ing position.

■When installing a child restraint system

You may need a locking clip to install the child restraint system. 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 following item

from any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and

equipped professional: Locking clip for child restraint system

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 inju-

ries 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 backward

to ensure that it has been securely installed.

●After securing a child restraint system, 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 system
