A convertible seat is used in forward-
facing and rear- facing position depend-
ing on the child's age and size. When
installing, follow the manufacturer's
instruction about the applicable child's
age and size as well as directions for
installing a child restraint system.CAUTION
Rear- facing child restraint system:
Never put a rear- facing child restraint
system on the right front seat with
the passenger airbag manual on- off
switch in the ONº position. In the
event of an accident, the force of the
rapid inflation of the passenger air-
bag can cause death or serious injury
to the child.

CAUTION

Do not put a rear- facing child re-
straint system on the rear seat if
the child restraint system interferes
with the front seat lock mechanism
or with your proper driving posi-
tion. This can cause severe injury
to the child and front passenger in
case of sudden braking or a colli-
sion.

If your driving position is not satis-
factory, install the child restraint
system at another position.

tight.
CAUTION

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.

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
Toyota dealer immediately. Do not
use the seat until the seat belt is

ing position only.
CAUTION

tem which belongs to a passenger
risk group should never be put on

ger airbag manual on- off switch in

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
across the child's shoulder and that the
lap belt is positioned as low as possible
on child's hips. See Seat 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.

High- positioned lap belts and
loose- fitting belts both could cause
serious injuries due to sliding un-
der the lap belt during a collision
or other unintended result. Keep
the lap belt positioned as low on
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 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
Toyota dealer immediately. Do not
use the seat until the seat belt is
fixed.
