●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 powe r window, hood, trunk, seats etc.
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 pr operly wear the vehicle’s seat
belt.
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 neut\
ral.
There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with
the windows, the moon roof or panoramic moon roof, 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 we ll as installation methods, etc., written in
this manual.
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 installation
method that is in the operation manual enclosed with the restraint
system.

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.
● Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided
with the child restraint system manufacturer and that the system is prop-
erly secured.
● 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 trunk.

WARNING
■When using a child restraint system
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
● Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger
seat even if the “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated. In the event of
an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag
can cause death or serious injury to the child if the rear-facing child
restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat.
● A forward-facing child restraint system may be installed on the front pas-
senger seat only when it is unavoidable. A child restraint system that
requires a top tether strap should not be used in the front passenger seat
since there is no top tether strap anchor for the front passenger seat.
●A forward-facing child restraint system
may be installed on the front passenger
seat only when it is unavoidable. When
installing a forward-facing child restraint
system on the front passenger seat,
move the seat as far back as possible,
and raise the seat to the upper most
position, even if the “AIRBAG OFF” indi-
cator light is illuminated.
If the head restraint interferes with the
child restraint system installation and
the head restraint can be removed,
remove the head restraint.
● 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.

WARNING
■When using a child restraint system
● When a 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.
● 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.
● Adjust the front passenger seat so that
it does not interfere with the child
restraint system.

restraint lock function belt)
Install the child restraint system in accordance to the operation
manual enclosed with the child restraint system.
■Rear-facing — Infant seat/convertible seat

While pushing the child
restraint system down into
the rear seat, allow the
shoulder belt to retract until
the child restraint system is
securely in place.
After the shoulder belt has
retracted to a point where there
is no slack in the belt, pull the
belt to check that it cannot be
extended.
After installing the child restraint system, rock it back and forth to
ensure that it is installed securely. ( →P. 64)
■Forward-facing — Convertible seat
When using the front passenger seat: Adjust the seatback
If installing the child restraint system to the front passenger seat
is unavoidable, refer to P. 56 fo r the front passenger seat adjust-
ment.
If the head restraint interferes
with the child restraint sys-
tem installation and the head
restraint can be removed,
remove the head restraint.
( → P. 162)
Place the child restraint sys-
tem on the seat facing the
front of the vehicle.
