1-3. Child Restraint
1
Essential Safety Equipment
Child-Restraint Precautions
Whatever child-restraint system you consider, please pick the appro-
priate one for the age and size of the child, obey the law and follow
the instructions that come with the individual child-restraint system.
A child who has outgrown child-restraint systems should sit in the rear
and use seat belts, both lap and shoulder. If the shoulder belt crosses
the neck or face, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle in
the outboard seats, and towards the buckle on the right if the child is
seated on the center seat.
Statistics confirm that the rear seat is the best place for all children up
to 12 years of age, and more so with a supplemental restraint system
(air bags).
A rear-facing child-restraint system should NEVER be used on the
front seat with the air bag system activated. The front passenger’s
seat is also the least preferred seat for other child-restraint systems.
To reduce the chance of injuries caused by deployment of the front
passenger air bag, the front passenger occupant classification sensor
works as a part of the supplemental restraint system. This system
deactivates the front passenger front and side air bags and also the
front passenger seat belt pretensioner system when the front passen-
ger air bag deactivation indicator light illuminates.
When an infant or small child sits on the front passenger seat, the sys-
tem shuts off the front passenger front and side air bags and seat belt
pretensioner system, so make sure the front passenger air bag deac-
tivation indicator light illuminates.
Toyota strongly urges the use of child-restraint systems for chil-
dren small enough to use them.
You are required by law to use a child-restraint system for chil-
dren in the U.S. and Canada.
Check your local and state or provincial laws for specific
requirements regarding the safety of children riding in your
vehicle.

Tur n and Lane-Change Signals
The ignition must be switched ON to use the turn and lane-change
signals.
Move the signal lever down (for a
left turn) or up (for a right turn) to
the stop position. The signal will
self-cancel after the turn is com-
pleted.
If the indicator light continues to
flash after a turn, manually return
the lever to its original position.
The turn signal indicators (green)
in the combination meter flash
according to the operation of the
turn signal lever to show which
signal is working.
●If an indicator light stays on without flashing or if it flashes abnormally, one
of the turn signal bulbs may be burned out.
● A customized function is available to change the turn indicator sound vol-
ume. ( →P. 572)
Move the lever halfway toward the direction of the lane change—until
the indicator flashes—and hold it there. It will return to the off position
when released.
