WARNING  
When installing a child restraint system  
For safety reasons, always install a 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 airbag  
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.

1-2. Child safety  
Riding with 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.  
1
It is recommended that children sit in the rear seats to avoid acci-  
dental contact with the shift lever, wiper switch etc.  
5-door models: Use the rear door child-protector lock to avoid chil-  
dren opening the door, accidentally, while driving. (P. 135)  
Do not let small children operate equipment which may catch or  
pinch body parts, such as the power window, hood, back door,  
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, the canvas top or other features of the vehicle. In addition,  
heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal  
to children.

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.  
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 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  
Points to remember  
Prioritize and observe the warnings, as well as the laws and regula-  
tions for child restraint systems.  
Use a child restraint system until the child becomes large enough to  
properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.  
Choose a child restraint system appropriate to the age and size of  
the child.  
1
Note that not all child restraint systems can fit in all vehicles.  
Before using or purchasing a child restraint system, check the com-  
patibility of the child restraint system with seat positions. (P. 59)  
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.

1-2. Child safety  
WARNING  
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. 59) 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.  
If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from the  
vehicle or store it securely in the luggage compartment.

WARNING  
When using a child restraint system  
Vehicles without SRS curtain shield air-  
bags: 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  
from which the side airbags deploy  
even if the child is seated in the child  
restraint system. It is dangerous if the  
side airbags inflate, and the impact  
could cause death or serious injury to  
the child.  
Vehicles with SRS curtain shield airbags: 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 and rear pillars or roof side rails from which the SRS side air-  
bags 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. 68)

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.

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.
