Vehicles with a passenger airbag:
Never use a rear-facing child re-
straint system in the front seat be- cause the force of the rapid infla-
tion of the passenger airbag cancause severe injury to the child.
CAUTION!Only when it is unavoidable should a forward-facing child restraint sys-
tem be used on the front seat. Al- ways move the seat as far back as
possible because the force of de-
ploying airbag would cause seriousinjury to the child. Do not use a rear-facing child re-

CAUTION!
Always make sure the shoulder
belt is positioned across the cen-
ter of child's shoulder. The belt
should be kept away from child's
neck, but not falling off child's
shoulder. Failure to do so could
reduce the amount of protection in
an accident and increase the
chance of injury.
High-positioned lap belts and
loose-fitting belts both could in-
crease the chance of injury due to
sliding under the lap belt during
an accident. Keep the lap belt as
low on your hip bone 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 is not twisted.
Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in
the buckle as this may prevent you
from properly latching the tab and buckle.If the seat belt does not function
normally, it cannot protect your
child from injury. Contact your To-
yota dealer immediately. Do not
use the seat until the seat belt isfixed.
