in the system. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer or

repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

● Neither “ON” nor “OFF” comes on.

● The indicator light does not change when the airbag manual on-off switch is

switched to “ON” or “OFF”.

WARNING

■ When installing a child restraint system

For safety reasons, always install a 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 airbag

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.

Safety information for children

Observe the following precautions when children are in the vehi-

cle.

Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the

child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat

belt.

● It is recommended that children sit in the rear seats to avoid acci-

dental contact with the shift lever, wiper switch, etc.

● Use the rear door child-protector lock or the window lock switch to

avoid children opening the door while driving or operating the

power window accidentally.

● Do not let small children operate equipment which may catch or

pinch body parts, such as the power window, hood, back door,

seats, etc.

WARNING

Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to

have or use the key.

Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral.

There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with

the windows or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or

extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

Child restraint systems

Toyota strongly urges the use of child restraint systems.

Points to remember

1

Studies have shown that installing a child restraint on a rear seat is

much safer than installing one on the front passenger seat.

● Choose a child restraint system that suits your vehicle and is appro-

priate 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. 64)

● If child restraint system regulations exist in the country where you

reside, please contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or

another duly qualified and equipped professional for the child

restraint system installation.

● Toyota recommends that you use a child restraint system which

conforms to the regulation ECE No.44.

56

1-1. For safe use

(1) For the child restraint system which do not carry the ISO/XX size

class identification (A to G), for the applicable mass group, the

car manufacturer shall indicate the vehicle specific ISOFIX child

restraint system(s) recommended for each position.

Key of letters inserted in the above table:

IUF: Suitable for ISOFIX forward-facing child restraint systems of uni-

versal category approved for use in this mass group.

IL: Suitable for ISOFIX child restraint systems of the categories for

“specific vehicles”, “restricted”, or “semi-universal”, approved for

use in this mass group.

X: ISOFIX position not suitable for ISOFIX child restraint systems in

this mass group and/or this size class.

*: Remove the head restraint if it interferes with your child restraint system.

When using a “TOYOTA MINI” or “TOYOTA MIDI”, adjust the support

leg and the ISOFIX connectors as follows:

1

Lock the support leg where 5th

hole can be seen.

Lock the ISOFIX connectors

2

where numbers 4 and 5 can be

seen.

When using the right side seat for the child restraint system, do not sit

in the center seat.

The child restraint system mentioned in the table may not be available

outside of the EU area.

Other child restraint systems different from the systems mentioned in

the table can be used, but the suitability of the systems must be care-

fully checked with the child restraint system manufacturer and retailer.

■ When installing a child restraint system on the front passenger seat

When you have to use a child restraint system on the front passenger seat,

adjust the following:

● The seatback to the most upright posi-

tion.

If the child restraint system interferes

with the seatback when latching the

1

child restraint system into the support

base, adjust the seatback rearward until

there is no interference.

● Remove the head restraint if it interferes

with your child restraint system.

● Move the seat as far back as possible.

If the CRS cannot be installed properly, due to hitting part of the vehicle

interior and so forth, adjust the position of the front seat and its seatback

angle.

If the seat belt shoulder anchor is ahead

of the child seat belt guide, move the

seat cushion forward.

● Vehicles with a vertical height adjust-

ment lever: Adjust the seat cushion to

the highest position.

■ Selecting an appropriate child restraint system

● Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child becomes

large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.

● If the child is too large for a child restraint system, sit the child on a rear seat

and use the vehicle’s seat belt. (P. 38)

62

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

■ 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. It may result in death or serious injury (in the

event of sudden braking or an accident).

■ 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 use a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat

when the airbag manual on-off switch is on. (P. 52)

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 may be installed on the front pas-

senger seat only when it is unavoidable. A child restraint system that

requires a top strap should not be used in the front passenger seat since

there is no top strap anchor for the front passenger seat. Adjust the

seatback as upright as possible and always move the seat as far back as

possible because the front passenger airbag could inflate with consider-

able speed and force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously

injured.

● 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

rails from which the SRS side airbags or SRS curtain shield airbags deploy

even if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is dangerous if

the SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags inflate, and the impact

could cause death or serious injury to the child.

● Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by

the child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If

it is not secured properly, it may cause death or serious injury to the child

in the event of a sudden stop or accident.

1-1. For safe use

63

WARNING

■ When children are in the vehicle

Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes

twisted around a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries

that could result in death.

If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used

to cut the belt.

1

■ When the child restraint system is not in use

● Keep the child restraint system properly secured on the seat even if it is

not in use. Do not store the child restraint system unsecured in the pas-

senger compartment.

● If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from the

vehicle or store it securely in the luggage compartment. If a head restraint

was removed when installing a child restraint system, always install the

head restraint before driving. This will prevent it from injuring passengers

in the event of a sudden stop or accident.

64

1-1. For safe use

Installing child restraints
