Toyota strongly urges use of a
proper child restraint system
which conforms to the size of the
child and is put on the rear seat.
According to accident statistics,
the child is safer when properly re-
strained in the rear seat than in the
front seat.
Never install a rear-facing child re-
straint system on the front seat. In
the event of an accident, the force
of the rapid inflation of the airbag
can cause severe injury if a rear-
facing child restraint system is
installed on the front seat.
Unless it is unavoidable, do not
install a forward-facing child re-
straint system on the front seat.
If you must install a forward-fac-
ing child restraint system on the
front seat, move the seat as far
back as possible.
Make sure that you have complied
with all installation instructions
provided by the child restraint
manufacturer and that the system
is properly secured.A child restraint system for a small
child or baby must itself be properly
restrained on the seat with either the
lap belt or the lap portion of the lap/
shoulder belt. You must carefully con-
sult the manufacturer's instructions
which accompany your child restraint
system.
To provide proper restraint, use a child re-
straint system following the manufactur-
er's instructions about the appropriate
age and size of the child for the child re-
straint system.
Install the child restraint system correctly
following the instructions provided by its
manufacturer of the system. General di-
rections are also provided under the fol-
lowing illustrations.
Toyota recommends installing the child
restraint system 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.
CAUTION!
Never install a rear-facing child re-
straint system on the front seat. In
the event of an accident, the force
of the rapid inflation of the airbag
can cause death or serious injury
if a rear-facing child restraint sys-
tem is installed on the front seat.
Unless it is unavoidable, do not
install a forward-facing child re-
straint system on the front seat.
If you must install a forward-fac-
ing child restraint system on the
front seat, move the seat as far
back as possible.
After installing the child restraint
system, make sure it is secured in
place following the manufactur-
er's instructions. If it is not re-
strained securely, it can cause in-
jury to the child in the event of a
sudden stop or accident.

40 When not using the child restraint system,
keep it secured with the seat belt. This will
prevent it injuring passengers in the event
of a sudden stop or accident.
Your vehicle has anchors for securing the
top strap of a child restraint system. The
anchor nuts are welded beneath the sheet
metal to permit installation of an anchor
bracket for a child restraint system.
To install an anchor braket, use an 8 mm
X 30 mm X 1.25 mm coarse thread metric
bolt and 15mm (0.6 in.) spacer. Note that
the bolts accompanying many child re-
straint systems are not metric. You can
damage the anchor nuts on our vehicle if
you force bolts with different thread into
the anchor nuts.
For instructions about how to install the
anchor bracket, see Top strap anchors
and locations.ºIf your child restraint system does not pro-
vide any of the necessary parts, you can
purchase the following items from your
Toyota dealer.
* CRS installation kit
(Part No. 04731-22012)Ðcontains 1
bolt, 3 types of spacers and 1 locking
clip.
* Bolt (Part No. 91511-60830)ProCarManuals.com

42 This child restraint is designed for use
only by children who wiegh between
10 and 30 kg (22.1 and 66.1 pounds),
and whose height is between 85 and
127 cm (33.5 and 50.0 inches).
The child should be at least one year
old and must be capable of sitting up-
right alone and whose shoulder height
is at or below the maximum shoulder
height indicator.
It is important to use a rear-facing
child restraint until the child is about
a year old. A rear-facing restraint
gives the child's head, nech and body
the support they would need in a
crash. See ÐChild restraint systemº
for more information.
If your child's shoulders are above the
indicator position, do not use the
built-in child restraint. Your child
should use the vehicles seat belts.
According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seat than in the front seat.
CAUTION!
Make sure the child is securely re-
strained with the built-in child re-
straint. Failure to follow the instruc-
tions provided here and also in the
owner 's manual supplement on the
use of this child restraint system can
result serious injuries when your
child strikes the vehicle's interior
during a sudden stop or crash. Snug-
ly adjust the belts provided with this
child restraint around your child.
When using the built-in child re-
straint, observe the following:
Use the belts for only one child at
a time. Do not use the belts for two
or more chidren.
Be careful not to damage the belt
webbing or hardware. Take care
that they do not get caught or
pinched in the seatback.
Inspect the belt system periodical-
ly. Check for cuts, fraying, and
loose parts. Damaged parts
should be replaced. Do not disas-
semble or modify the child re-
straint belt system.
Keep the belts clean and dry. If
they need cleaning, use a mild
soap solution or lukewarm water.
Never use bleach, dye, or abrasive
cleaners-they may severely weak-
en the belts.
Replace the built-in child restraint
assembly if it has been used in a
severe impact. The entire assem-
bly should be replaced even if
damage is not obvious.
Do not use a separate child re-
straint system over the opened
built-in child restraint.
When the built-in child restraint is
in use, do not use the adult lap and
shoulder belt instead of the built-
in child restraint seatbelt as it can
cause severe injury to the child in
a sudden stop or crash.

yota dealer immediately. Do not
use the seat until the seat belt is

NOTICE
Be careful not to overrev the en-
gine. Watch the tachometer to
keep engine rpm from going into
the red zone. The approximate
maximum allowable speed for
each position is given below for
your reference:
2º 125 km/h (77 mph). . . . . .
Lº 69 km/h (42 mph). . . . .
Do not continue hill climbing or
hard towing for a long time in the
2º or Lº position. This may
cause severe automatic transmis-
sion damage from overheating.
To prevent such damage, Dº
position should be used in hill
climbing or hard towing.
(d) Backing up
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. With the brake pedal held down with
your foot, shift the selector lever to the
Rº position.
NOTICE
Never shift into reverse while the
vehicle is moving.
(e) Parking
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. Pull the parking brake lever up fully to
securely apply the parking brake.
3. With the brake pedal pressed down,
shift the selector lever to the Pº posi-
tion.
While the vehicle is moving, never
attempt to move the selector lever
into Pº position under any circum-
stances. Serious mechanical dam-
age and loss of vehicle control may
result.CAUTION
!
(f) Good driving practice
If the transmission is repeatedly up-
shifted and downshifted between third
gear and overdrive when climbing a
gentle slope, the overdrive switch
should be turned off. Be sure to turn
the switch on immediately afterward.
When towing a trailer, in order to main-
tain engine braking efficiency, do not
use overdrive.
Always keep your foot on the brake
pedal while stopped with the engine
running. This prevents the vehicle
from creeping.CAUTION
!
NOTICE
Do not hold the vehicle on an
upgrade with the accelerator pedal.
It can cause the transmission to
overheat. Always use the brake
pedal or parking brake.
(g) Rocking your vehicle if stuck
If you rock your vehicle to make it
out when it becomes stuck in snow,
mud, sand, etc., first check that
there are no physical objects or
people around the vehicle. During
the rocking operation the vehicle
may suddenly move forward or
backward as it becomes unstuck,
causing injury or damage to nearby
people or objects.CAUTION
