ing on the child's age and size. When
installing, follow the manufacturer's in-
structions about the applicable child's
age and size as well as directions for
installing the child restraint system.

CAUTION

Never put a rear±facing child re-
straint system on the front passen-
ger seat because the force of the
rapid inflation of the front passen-
ger airbag can cause death or seri-
ous injury to the child.

Move seat
fully back

A forward±facing child restraint sys-
tem should be allowed to be put on
the front passenger seat only when
it is unavoidable. Always move the
seat as far back as possible, be-
cause the force of the deploying
front passenger airbag could cause
death or serious injury to the child.

On vehicles with side airbags, do
not allow the child to lean against
the front door or around the front
door even if the child is seated in
the child restraint system. It is dan-
gerous if the side airbag inflates,
and the impact could cause death
or serious injury to the child.
SU13045

Do not put a rear±facing child re-
straint system on the rear seat if it
interferes with the lock mechanism
of the front seats. This can cause
death or serious injury to the child
and front passenger in case of sud-
den braking or a collision.

If your driving position is not satis-
factory, install the child restraint
system on the other seat than left
rear seat.

around the booster seat and child fol-
lowing the instructions provided by its
manufacturer and insert the tab into
the buckle taking care not to twist the
belt.
Make sure the shoulder belt is correctly

lap belt is positioned as low as possible
on child's hips. See ªSeat beltsº for de-
tails.
CAUTION

Always make sure the shoulder belt
is positioned across the center of
child's shoulder. The belt should be
kept away from child's neck, but
not falling off child's s houlder. Fail-
ure to do so could reduce the
amount of protection in an accident
and cause serious injuries in a col-
lision.

Both high±positioned lap belts and
loose±fitting belts could cause seri-
ous injuries due to sliding under
the lap belt during a collision or
other unintended result. Keep the
lap belt positioned as low on a
child's hips as possible.

For child's safety, do not place the
shoulder belt under child's arm.

After inserting the tab, make sure
the tab and buckle are locked and
that the lap and shoulder portions
of the belt are not twisted.

Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in
the buckle as this may prevent your
child from properly latching the tab
and buckle.

If the seat belt does not function
normally, it cannot protect your
child from injury. Contact your
Toyota dealer immediately. Do not
use the seat until the seat belt is
fixed.
