tions
Observe the following precautions 
regarding the front passenger 
occupant classification system.
Failure to do so may cause death

seat belt latch plate has not 
been left inserted into the 
buckle before someone sits in

●Make sure the “AIR BAG OFF” 
indicator light is not illuminated 
when using the seat belt 
extender for the front passenger 
seat. If the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-
cator light is illuminated, discon-
nect the extender tongue from 
the seat belt buckle, and recon-
nect the seat belt. Reconnect 
the seat belt extender after 
making sure the “AIR BAG ON” 
indicator light is illuminated. If 
you use the seat belt extender 
while the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-
cator light is illuminated, the 
SRS airbags for the front pas-
senger may not activate, which 
could cause death or serious 
injury in the ev ent of a collision.
●D o  n o t  a p p l y  a  h e a v y  l o a d  t o  t h e  
front passenger seat or equip-
ment (e.g. seatback pocket).
●Do not put weight on the front 
passenger seat by putting your 
hands or feet on the front pas-
senger seat seatback from the 
rear passenger seat.
●Do not let a rea r passenger lift 
the front passenger seat with 
their feet or press on the seat-
back with their legs.
●Do not put objec ts under the 
front passenger seat.
●Do not recline t he front passen-
ger seatback so far that it 
touches the rear seat. This may 
cause the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-
cator light to be  illuminated, 
which indicates that the SRS 
airbags for the front passenger 
will not activate in the event of a 
severe accident. If the seatback 
touches the rear seat, return the 
seatback to a pos ition where it 
does not touch the rear seat. 
Keep the front passenger seat-
back as upright as possible 
when the vehicle is moving. 
Reclining the seatback exces-
sively may lessen the effective-
ness of the seat belt system.
●If an adult sits i n the front pas-
senger seat, the “AIR BAG ON” 
indicator light i s illuminated. If 
the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator is 
illuminated, ask  the passenger 
to sit up straight, well back in 
the seat, feet on the floor, and 
with the seat belt worn correctly. 
If the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator 
still remains illumi nated, either 
ask the passenger to move to 
the rear seat, or if that is not 
possible, move  the front pas-
senger seat fully rearward.
●When it is unavoidable to install 
a forward-facing c hild restraint 
system on the front passenger 
seat, install the child restraint 
system on the front passenger 
seat in the proper order.

●Do not modify or remove the 
front seats.
●Do not kick the  front passenger 
seat or subject it to severe 
impact. Otherwise, the SRS 
warning light m ay come on to 
indicate a malfu nction of the 
front passenger occupant clas-
sification system. In this case, 
contact your Toyota dealer 
immediately.

tems
Before installing a child 
restraint system in the vehi-
cle, there are precautions 
that need to be observed, 
different types of child 
restraint systems, as well as

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 oper-
ation manual enclosed with
