WARNING
■Front passenger occupant classification system precautions
● Do not recline the front passenger seatback so far that it touc hes a rear
seat. This may cause the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light to be il luminated,
which indicates that the SRS airbags for the front passenger wi ll not acti-
vate in the event of a severe accident. If the seatback touches the rear
seat, return the seatback to a position where it does not touch the rear
seat. Keep the front passenger seatback as upright as possible when the
vehicle is moving. Reclining the seatback excessively may lesse n the
effectiveness of the seat belt system.
● If an adult sits in the front passenger seat, the “AIR BAG ON” indicator
light is 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” indicat or still
remains illuminated, either ask the passenger to move to the re ar seat, or
if that is not possible, move the front passenger seat fully re arward.
● When it is unavoidable to install a forward-facing child restra int system on
the front passenger seat, install the child restraint system on the front pas-
senger seat in the proper order. ( P. 62)
● Do not modify or remove the front seats.
● Do not kick the front passenger seat or subject it to severe im pact. Other-
wise, the SRS warning light may come on to indicate a malfuncti on of the
front passenger occupant classification system. In this case, contact your
Toyota dealer immediately.
● Child restraint systems installed on the second seat should not contact the
front seatbacks.
● Do not use a seat accessory, such as a cushion and seat cover, that cov-
ers the seat cushion surface.
● Do not modify or replace the upholstery of the front seat.

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 power window, hood, back door,

WARNING
■When installing a booster seat
To prevent the belt from going into ALR lock mode, do not fully extend the
shoulder belt. ALR mode causes the belt to tighten only. This c ould cause
injury or discomfort to the child. ( P. 34)
■ When installing a child restraint system
Follow the directions given in the child restraint system insta llation manual
and fix the child restraint system securely in place.
If the child restraint system is not correctly fixed in place, the child or other
passengers may be seriously injured or even killed in the event of a sudden
braking or an accident.
● Vehicles with bench type second seats: When installing a child restraint
system on the second seat, adjust both seat cushions to the sam e position
and align both seatbacks at the same angle. The seatbacks must be
adjusted to the same angle. Otherwise, the child restraint syst em cannot
be securely restrained and this may cause death or serious injuries in the
event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
● 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.
● Only put a forward-facing child restraint
system on the front seat when unavoid-
able. When installing a forward-facing
child restraint system on the front pas-
senger seat, move the seat as far back
as possible even if the “AIR BAG OFF”
indicator light is illuminated. Failure to
do so may result in death or serious
injury if the airbags deploy (inflate).

WARNING
●When installing a child restraint system on the third center se at, adjust
both seatbacks at the same angle. The seatbacks must be adjuste d to the
same angle. Otherwise, the child restraint system cannot be sec urely
restrained and this may cause death or serious injuries in the event of sud-
den braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
■ When installing a child restraint system
● When a booster seat is installed, always ensure that the should er 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. Failing to do so may result in death or serious injur y in the event
of an accident or a sudden braking.
● 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.
● Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
● When securing some types of child restraint systems in second or third
seats, 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
effectiveness. 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.
If the seat is adjusted, reconfirm the security of the child re straint system.
■ When installing a child restraint system (vehicles with bench t ype sec-
ond seat)
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury to the child or other pas-
sengers in the event of a sudden stop or accident.
● When installing the child restraint system onto the second cent er seat,
secure it so as not interfere with the front console box.
● Do not change the posture and position of the outside second seat once
the child restraint system has been secured to the second cente r seat.
