Install the child restraint system on the
front passenger seat only when it is un-
avoidable. Your vehicle is equipped with a
front passenger occupant classification
system. In order to activate the occupant
classification system correctly, install the
forward−facing child restraint system on
the front passenger seat in the following
order:
1. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” posi- tion.
2. Move the front passenger seat to the rearward position.
3. Put the child restraint system on the front passenger seat without putting
your weight on the front passenger
seat.
4. Insert the seat belt tab into the seat belt buckle.
5. Fully extend the shoulder belt to put it in the lock mode. When the belt is
then retracted even slightly, it cannot
be extended. To hold the seat securely,
make sure the belt is in the lock mode
before letting the belt retract. 6. While pressing the convertible seat
firmly against the seat cushion and
seatback, let the shoulder belt retract
as far as it will go to hold the convert-
ible seat securely.
CAUTION
Push and pull the child restraint sys-
tem in different directions to be sure
it is secure. Follow all the installation
instructions provided by its manufac-
turer.
7. Put a child on the child restraint sys-tem and secure the child, complying
with the instructions provided by the
child restraint system manufacturer. The “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light should
be illuminated when the ignition key is
“ON” and the child is in the child restraint
system after following these proc
edures.
The “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light indi-
cates the SRS front passenger airbag and
side airbag on the passenger side will not
deploy. If the “AIRBAG ON” indicator light
is illuminated, remove the child restraint
system and reinstall it with the ignition
key in the “ACC” or “LOCK” position. If
the “AIRBAG ON” indicator light is illumi-
nated when the ignition key is turned to
the “ON” position, then the SRS front pas-
senger airbag and side airbag on the pas-
senger side may deploy in an accident.
Do not drive the vehicle in this condition.
Remove the child restraint system and
contact your Toyota dealer.

CAUTION
Never install a rearfacing child re-
straint system on the front passen-
ger seat. A forwardfacing child re-
straint system should only be
installed on the front passenger
seat when unavoidable. If you must
install the child restraint system on
the front passenger seat, put the
seat in its most rearward position,
and install the forwardfacing child
restraint system in the proper or-
der. Otherwise, the front passenger
occupant classification system can
not detect the presence of the child
restraint system and the front pas-
senger airbag and side airbag on
the front passenger seat could
deploy.
CAUTION
Never install a rearfacing child re-
straint system on the front passen-
ger 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 pas-
senger airbag could cause death or
serious injury to the child if the
rearfacing child restraint system is
installed on the front passenger
seat.
Move seat fully back
A forwardfacing child restraint sys-
tem should be allowed to be
installed on the front passenger
seat only when it is unavoidable.
Always move the seat as far back
as possible even if the “AIRBAG
OFF” indicator light is illuminated,
because the front passenger airbag
could inflate with considerable
speed and force. Otherwise, the
child may be killed or seriously in-
jured.

On vehicles with side airbags and
curtain shield airbags, do not allow
the child to lean his/her head or
any part of his/her body against the
side window or the area of the
seat, front or side pillars or roof
side rails from which the side air-
bags or curtain shield airbags
deploy even if the child is seated in
the child restraint system. It is dan-
gerous if the side airbag and cur-
tain shield airbag inflate, and the
impact could cause death or seri-
ous injury to the child.
Do not install a child restraint sys-
tem on the second (or third) seat if
it interferes with the lock mecha-
nism of the front (or second) seats.
Otherwise, the child or front (or
second) seat occupant(s) may be
killed or seriously injured in case
of sudden braking or a collision.
If the driver ’s seat position does
not allow sufficient space for safe
installation, install the child re-
straint system on the second right
seat.
Same angle
When installing a child restraint
system in the third seat center
position, adjust both seatbacks to
the same angle. Otherwise, the
child restraint system cannot be se-
curely restrained and this may
cause death or serious injuries in a
collision.
