CAUTION
SRS airbag precautions
If the vinyl cover is put on the area where the SRS knee airbag will
deploys, be sure to remove it.
Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side
airbags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the airbags.
Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS air-
bag components. (P. 134)
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.
Vehicles without SRS curtain shield air-
bags: Do not attach anything to areas
such as a door, windshield glass and
side door glass.
Vehicles with SRS curtain shield air-
bags: Do not attach anything to areas
such as the door, windshield glass, side
door glass, front, center and rear pil-
lars, roof side rail or assist grip. (Except
for the speed limit label P. 515)
Vehicles with SRS curtain shield air-
bags: Do not hang coat hangers or
other hard objects on the coat hooks.
All of these items could become projec-
tiles and seriously injure or kill you,
should the SRS curtain shield airbag
deploy.
Vehicles without smart entry & start
system: Do not attach any heavy, sharp
or hard objects such as keys or acces-
sories to the key. The objects may
restrict the SRS knee airbag inflation or
be thrust into the driver’s seat area by
the force of the deploying airbag, thus
causing a danger.

SRS airbag precautions
Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS air-
bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.
If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbag has deployed, open a
door or window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to do
so. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation.
Vehicles without SRS curtain shield airbags: If the areas where the SRS
airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel pad, are damaged or
cracked, have them replaced by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Vehicles with SRS curtain shield airbags: If the areas where the SRS
airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel pad and front and rear pillar

Child restraint systems
Points to remember
Studies have shown that installing a child restraint system on a rear
seat is much safer than installing one to the front passenger seat.
Choose a child restraint system appropriate to the age and size of
the child.
For installation details, follow the instructions provided with the
child restraint system.
General installation instructions are provided in this manual.
(P. 153)
Toyota recommends that you use a child restraint system which
conforms to the regulation “ECE No.44”.
Types of child restraints
Child restraint systems are classified into the following 5 groups
according to the regulation “ECE No.44”.
Group 0: Up to 10 kg (22 lb.) (0 - 9 months)
Group 0
+: Up to 13 kg (28 lb.) (0 - 2 years)
Group I: 9 to 18 kg (20 to 39 lb.) (9 months - 4 years)
Group II: 15 to 25 kg (34 to 55 lb.) (4 years - 7 years)
Group III: 22 to 36 kg (49 to 79 lb.) (6 years - 12 years)
In this owner’s manual, the following popular 3 types of child restraint
systems that can be secured with the seat belts are explained.
Toyota strongly urges the use of child restraint systems.

IUF: Suitable for ISOFIX forward child restraint systems of universal
category approved for the use in this mass group.
X: ISOFIX position not suitable for ISOFIX child restraint systems
in the mass group and/or size class.
The child restraint systems mentioned in the table may not be avail-
able outside of the EU area.
NOTE:
Other child restraint system which is different from the system men-
tioned in the table can be used, but the suitability of the systems must
be carefully checked with the child restraint system manufacturer
concerned and the seller of those seats.
When installing the child restraint system on the front passenger seat
adjust the following:
Selecting an appropriate child restraint system
Get an appropriate child restraint system for the child. If a child is too large
for a child restraint system, sit the child on a rear seat and use the vehicle’s
seat belt. (P. 88)
The seatback to the most upright posi-
tion
The seat as far back as possible
The seat belt height to the lowest posi-
tion

CAUTION
Using a child restraint system
The use of a child restraint system not suitable for the vehicle may not prop-
erly secure the infant or child, resulting in serious injury or even death.
Child restraint precautions
For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child
must be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system
depending on the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is
not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be
crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle’s interior.
Toyota strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that con-
forms to the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to acci-
dent statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat
than in the front seat.
Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger
seat when the airbag manual on-off switch is “ON”. (P. 167)
In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front pas-
senger airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child.
A forward-facing child restraint system 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, because the front passenger airbag could
inflate with considerable speed and force. Otherwise, the child may be
killed or seriously injured.
Vehicles without SRS curtain shield airbags: Do not allow the child to lean
his/her head or any part of his/her body against the door or the area of the
seat from which the side airbags deploy even if the child is seated in the
child restraint system. It is dangerous if the side airbags inflate, and the
impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.
Vehicles with SRS curtain shield airbags: Do not allow the child to lean his/
her head or any part of his/her body against the door or the area of the
seat, front and rear pillars or roof side rail from which the side airbags or
curtain shield airbags deploy even if the child is seated in the child
restraint system. It is dangerous if the side airbags and curtain shield air-
bags inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the
child.

CAUTION
When installing a child restraint system
Follow the directions given in the child restraint system installation 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 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 (left-hand drive vehicles)
or the left-hand rear seat (right-hand
drive vehicles).
Adjust the front passenger seat so that
it does not interfere with the child
restraint system.
Child restraint system installed on the
third seat should not contact the second
seatbacks.
When installing a forward-facing child
or junior seat on the front passenger
seat, move the seat as far back as pos-
sible.
Failing to do so may result in death or
serious injury if the airbags deploy
(inflate).

CAUTION
When installing a child restraint system
When installing a child restraint system
in the rear seat, adjust the adjacent
seat cushions to the same position
(second seats) and align seatbacks at
the same angle. Otherwise, the child
restraint system cannot be securely
restrained and this may cause death or
serious injuries in the event of sudden
braking, sudden swerving or an acci-
dent.
Same angle
Same position (second seats)
Never install a rear-facing child restraint
system on the front passenger seat
when the airbag manual on-off switch is
“ON”. (P. 167)
The force of the rapid inflation of the
front passenger airbag can cause death
or serious injury to children in the event
of an accident.
There is a label on both sides of the
passenger side sun visor, indicating it is
forbidden to attach a rear-facing child
restraint system to the front passenger
seat.
Details of the label on the passenger
side sun visor are shown in the illustra-
tion below. The label includes informa-
tion written in the language of your
country.

170 1-7. Safety information
VERSO_WE_OM64524E
CAUTION
When installing a child restraint system
For safety reasons, always install the child restraint system in a rear seat. In
the event that the rear seat cannot be used, the front seat can be used as
long as the airbag manual on-off system is set to “OFF”.
If the airbag manual on-off system is left “ON”, the strong impact of the air-
bag deployment (inflation) may cause serious injury or even death.
When a child restraint system is not installed on the front passenger
seat
Ensure that the airbag manual on-off system is set to “ON”.
If it is left “OFF”, the airbag may not deploy in the event of an accident, which
may result in serious injury or even death.
