COROLLA HV_U

1-1.For safe use

Use only floor mats designed 
specifically for vehicles of the 
same model and model year as 
your vehicle. Fix them securely 
in place onto the carpet.

1

Insert the retaining hooks 
(clips) into the floor mat eye-
lets.

2

Turn the upper knob of each 
retaining hook (clip) to secure 
the floor mats in place.

Always align the 

 marks 

.

The shape of the retaining hooks 
(clips) may differ from that shown in 
the illustration.

Before driving

Observe the following 
before starting off in the 
vehicle to ensure safety of 
driving.

Floor mat

WARNING

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may cause the 

driver’s floor mat to slip, possibly 

interfering with the pedals while 

driving. An unexpectedly high 

speed may result or it may 

become difficult to stop the vehi-

cle. This could lead to an acci-

dent, resulting in death or serious 

injury.

When installing the driver’s 

floor mat

Do not use floor mats designed 

for other models or different 

model year vehicles, even if 

they are Toyota Genuine floor 

mats.

Only use floor mats designed 

for the driver’s seat.

Always install the floor mat 

securely using the retaining 

hooks (clips) provided.

Do not use two or more floor 

mats on top of each other.

Do not place the floor mat bot-

tom-side up or upside-down.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For safety and secu

rity

Adjust the angle of the seat-
back so that you are sitting 
straight up and so that you do 
not have to lean forward to 
steer. (

P.133)

Adjust the seat so that you 
can depress the pedals fully 
and so that your arms bend 
slightly at the elbow when 
gripping the steering wheel. 
(

P.133)

Lock the head restraint in 
place with the center of the 
head restraint closest to the 
top of your ears. (

P.136)

Wear the seat belt correctly. 
(

P.27)

WARNING

Before driving

Check that the floor mat is 

securely fixed in the correct 

place with all the provided 

retaining hooks (clips). Be espe-

cially careful to perform this 

check after cleaning the floor.

With the hybrid system stopped 

and the shift lever in P, fully 

depress each pedal to the floor 

to make sure it does not inter-

fere with the floor mat.

For safe driving

For safe driving, adjust the 
seat and mirror to an appro-
priate position before driv-
ing.

Correct driving posture

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

26

1-1. For safe use

COROLLA HV_U

Make sure that all occupants are 
wearing their seat belts before 
driving the vehicle. (

P.27)

Use a child restraint system 
appropriate for the child until the 
child becomes large enough to 
properly wear the vehicle’s seat 
belt. (

P.48)

Make sure that you can see 
backward clearly by adjusting 
the inside and outside rear view 
mirrors properly. (

P.139, 140)

WARNING

For safe driving

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may result in 

death or serious injury.

Do not adjust the position of the 

driver’s seat while driving.

Doing so could cause the driver 

to lose control of the vehicle.

Do not place a cushion between 

the driver or passenger and the 

seatback.

A cushion may prevent correct 

posture from being achieved, 

and reduce the effectiveness of 

the seat belt and head restraint.

Do not place anything under the 

front seats.

Objects placed under the front 

seats may become jammed in 

the seat tracks and stop the 

seat from locking in place. This 

may lead to an accident and the 

adjustment mechanism may 

also be damaged.

Always observe the legal speed 

limit when driving on public 

roads.

When driving over long dis-

tances, take regular breaks 

before you start to feel tired.

Also, if you feel tired or sleepy 

while driving, do not force your-

self to continue driving and take 

a break immediately.

Take care when adjusting the 

seat position to ensure that 

other passengers are not 

injured by the moving seat.

When adjusting the seat posi-

tion, do not put your hands 

under the seat or near the mov-

ing parts to avoid injury. Fingers 

or hands may become jammed 

in the seat mechanism.

Seat belts

Make sure that all occu-
pants are wearing their seat 
belts before driving the 
vehicle.

WARNING

Observe the following precautions 

to reduce the risk of injury in the 

event of sudden braking, sudden 

swerving or an accident.

Failure to do so may cause death 

or serious injury.

Wearing a seat belt

Ensure that all passengers wear 

a seat belt.

Always wear a seat belt prop-

erly.

Each seat belt should be used 

by one person only. Do not use 

a seat belt for more than one 

person at once, including chil-

dren.

Toyota recommends that chil-

dren be seated in the rear seat 

and always use a seat belt 

and/or an appropriate child 

restraint system.

To achieve a proper seating 

position, do not recline the seat 

more than necessary. The seat 

belt is most effective when the 

occupants are sitting up straight 

and well back in the seats.

Do not wear the shoulder belt 

under your arm.

Always wear your seat belt low 

and snug across your hips.

Pregnant women

Obtain medical advice and wear 

the seat belt in the proper way. 

(

P.28)

Women who are pregnant should 

position the lap belt as low as 

possible over the hips in the same 

manner as other occupants, 

extending the shoulder belt com-

pletely over the shoulder and 

avoiding belt contact with the 

rounding of the abdominal area.
If the seat belt is not worn prop-

erly, not only the pregnant 

woman, but also the fetus could 

suffer death or serious injury as a 

result of sudden braking or a colli-

sion.

People suffering illness

Obtain medical advice and wear 

the seat belt in the proper way. 

(

P.28)

When children are in the vehi-

cle

P.63

Seat belt damage and wear

Do not damage the seat belts 

by allowing the belt, plate, or 

buckle to be jammed in the 

door.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

28

1-1. For safe use

COROLLA HV_U

Extend the shoulder belt so 
that it comes fully over the 
shoulder, but does not come 
into contact with the neck or 
slide off the shoulder.

Position the lap belt as low as 
possible over the hips.

Adjust the position of the 
seatback. Sit up straight and 
well back in the seat.

Do not twist the seat belt.

Child seat belt usage

The seat belts of your vehicle were 

principally designed for persons of 

adult size.

Use a child restraint system 

appropriate for the child, until the 

child becomes large enough to 

properly wear the vehicle’s seat 

belt. (

P.48)

When the child becomes large 

enough to properly wear the vehi-

cle’s seat belt, follow the instruc-

tions regarding seat belt usage. 

(

P.27)

Seat belt extender

If your seat belts cannot be fastened 

securely because they are not long 

enough, a personalized seat belt 

extender is available from your Toy-

ota dealer free of charge.

WARNING

Inspect the seat belt system 

periodically. Check for cuts, 

fraying, and loose parts. Do not 

use a damaged seat belt until it 

is replaced. Damaged seat belts 

cannot protect an occupant 

from death or serious injury.

Ensure that the belt and plate 

are locked and the belt is not 

twisted.

If the seat belt does not function 

correctly, immediately contact 

your Toyota dealer.

Replace the seat assembly, 

including the belts, if your vehi-

cle has been involved in a seri-

ous accident, even if there is no 

obvious damage.

Do not attempt to install, 

remove, modify, disassemble or 

dispose of the seat belts. Have 

any necessary repairs carried 

out by your Toyota dealer. Inap-

propriate handling may lead to 

incorrect operation.

Correct use of the seat 
belts

WARNING

Using a seat belt extender

Do not wear the seat belt 

extender if you can fasten the 

seat belt without the extender.

To fasten the seat belt, push 
the plate into the buckle until 
a click sound is heard.

2

To release the seat belt, 
press the release button  .

Emergency locking retractor 

(ELR)

The retractor will lock the belt during 

a sudden stop or on impact. It may 

also lock if you lean forward too 

quickly. A slow, easy motion will 

allow the belt to extend so that you 

can move around fully.

Automatic locking retractor 

(ALR)

When a passenger’s shoulder belt is 

completely extended and then 

retracted even slightly, the belt is 

locked in that position and cannot 

be extended. This feature is used to 

hold the child restraint system 

(CRS) firmly. To free the belt again, 

fully retract the belt and then pull the 

belt out once more. (

P.48)

Rear seat belt

Use the seat belt after passing it 

through the guide if the seat belt 

comes free from the guide.

1

Push the seat belt shoulder 

WARNING

Do not use the seat belt 

extender when installing a child 

restraint system because the 

belt will not securely hold the 

child restraint system, increas-

ing the risk of death or serious 

injury in the event of an acci-

dent.

The personalized extender may 

not be safe on another vehicle, 

when used by another person, 

or at a different seating position 

other than the one originally 

intended.

NOTICE

When using a seat belt 

extender

When releasing the seat belt, 

press on the buckle release but-

ton on the extender, not on the 

seat belt.

This helps prevent damage to the 

vehicle interior and the extender 

itself.

Push the seat belt shoulder 
anchor up while pressing the 
release button  .

Move the height adjuster up and 
down as needed until you hear a 
click.

The pretensioners help the seat 
belts to quickly restrain the 
occupants by retracting the seat 
belts when the vehicle is sub-
jected to certain types of severe 
frontal or side collision or a vehi-
cle rollover.

The pretensioners do not activate 

in the event of a minor frontal 
impact, a minor side impact or a 
rear impact.

Replacing the belt after the pre-

tensioner has been activated

If the vehicle is involved in multiple 

collisions, the pretensioner will acti-

vate for the first collision, but will not 

activate for the second or subse-

quent collisions.

WARNING

Adjustable shoulder anchor

Always make sure the shoulder 

belt is positioned across the cen-

ter of your shoulder. The belt 

should be kept away from your 

neck, but not falling off your shoul-

der. Failure to do so could reduce 

the amount of protection in an 

accident and cause death or seri-

ous injuries in the event of a sud-

den stop, sudden swerve or 

accident.

Seat belt pretensioners 
(front seats)

WARNING

Seat belt pretensioners

Do not place anything, such as 

a cushion, on the front passen-

ger’s seat. Doing so will 

disperse the passenger’s 

weight, which prevents the sen-

sor from detecting the passen-

ger’s weight properly. As a 

result, the seat belt pretensioner 

for the front passenger’s seat 

may not activate in the event of 

a collision.

If the pretensioner has acti-

vated, the SRS warning light will 

come on. In that case, the seat 

belt cannot be used again and 

must be replaced at your Toyota 

dealer.

SRS warning light
Front impact sensors
Airbag sensor assembly

Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed 
based on the US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The 
airbag sensor assembly (ECU) controls airbag deployment based on 
information obtained from the sensors etc. shown in the system 
components diagram above. This information includes crash sever-
ity and occupant information. As the airbags deploy, a chemical 
reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to 
help restrain the motion of the occupants.

If the SRS airbags deploy 

(inflate)

Slight abrasions, burns, bruising 

etc., may be sustained from SRS 

airbags, due to the extremely high 

speed deployment (inflation) by 

hot gases.

A loud noise and white powder will 

be emitted.

Parts of the airbag module (steer-

ing wheel hub, airbag cover and 

inflator) as well as the front seats, 

parts of the front and rear pillars, 

and roof side rails, may be hot for 

several minutes. The airbag itself 

may also be hot.

The windshield may crack.

The hybrid system will be stopped 

and fuel supply to the engine will 

be stopped. (

the vehicle’s location (without 

needing to push the “SOS” button) 

and an agent will attempt to speak 

with the occupants to ascertain 

the level of emergency and assis-

• An SRS airbag is deployed.

• A seat belt pretensioner is acti-

vated.

• The vehicle is involved in a severe 

rear-end collision.

SRS airbag deployment condi-

tions (SRS front airbags)

The SRS front airbags will deploy 

in the event of an impact that 

exceeds the set threshold level 

(the level of force corresponding 

to an approximately 12 - 18 mph 

[20 - 30 km/h] frontal collision with 

a fixed wall that does not move or 

deform).

However, this threshold velocity will 

be considerably higher in the follow-

ing situations:

• If the vehicle strikes an object, 

such as a parked vehicle or sign 

pole, which can move or deform 

on impact

• If the vehicle is involved in an 

underride collision, such as a colli-

sion in which the front of the vehi-

cle “underrides”, or goes under, 

the bed of a truck

COROLLA HV_U

Depending on the type of collision, 

it is possible that only the seat belt 

pretensioners will activate.

The SRS front airbags for the front 

passenger will not activate if there 

is no passenger sitting in the front 

passenger seat. However, the 

SRS front airbags for the front 

passenger may deploy if luggage 

is put in the seat, even if the seat 

is unoccupied.

The SRS seat cushion airbag on 

the front passenger seat will not 

operate if the occupant is not 

wearing a seat belt.

SRS airbag deployment condi-

tions (SRS side and curtain 

shield airbags)

The SRS side and curtain shield 

airbags will deploy in the event of 

an impact that exceeds the set 

threshold level (the level of force 

corresponding to the impact force 

produced by an approximately 

3300 lb. [1500 kg] vehicle colliding 

with the vehicle cabin from a 

direction perpendicular to the 

vehicle orientation at an approxi-

mate speed of 12 - 18 mph [20 - 

30 km/h]).

Both SRS curtain shield airbags 

may deploy in the event of a 

severe side collision.

Both SRS curtain shield airbags 

will deploy in the event of vehicle 

rollover.

Both SRS curtain shield airbags 

may also deploy in the event of a 

severe frontal collision.

Conditions under which the 

SRS airbags may deploy 

(inflate), other than a collision

The SRS front airbags and SRS 

side and curtain shield airbags may 

also deploy if a serious impact 

occurs to the underside of your vehi-

cle. Some examples are shown in 

the illustration.

Hitting a curb, edge of pavement 

or hard surface

Falling into or jumping over a deep 

hole

Landing hard or falling

The SRS curtain shield airbags may 

also deploy under the situations 

shown in the illustration.

The angle of vehicle tip-up is mar-

ginal.

The vehicle skids and hits a curb 

stone.

Types of collisions that may not 

deploy the SRS airbags (SRS 

front airbags)

The SRS front airbags do not gener-

ally inflate if the vehicle is involved 

in a side or rear collision, if it rolls 

over, or if it is involved in a 

low-speed frontal collision. But, 

whenever a collision of any type 

causes sufficient forward decelera-

tion of the vehicle, deployment of 

the SRS front airbags may occur.

WARNING

SRS airbag precautions

Observe the following precautions 

regarding the SRS airbags.

Failure to do so may cause death 

or serious injury.

The driver and all passengers in 

the vehicle must wear their seat 

belts properly.

The SRS airbags are supple-

mental devices to be used with 

the seat belts.

The SRS driver airbag deploys 

with considerable force, and 

can cause death or serious 

injury especially if the driver is 

very close to the airbag. The 

National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration (NHTSA) 

advises:

Since the risk zone for the driver’s 

airbag is the first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75 

mm) of inflation, placing yourself 

10 in. (250 mm) from your driver 

airbag provides you with a margin 

of safety. This distance is mea-

sured from the center of the steer-

ing wheel to your breastbone. If 

you sit less than 10 in. (250 mm) 

away now, you can change your 

driving position in several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as 

far as you can while still reach-

ing the pedals comfortably.

WARNING

• Slightly recline the back of the 

seat.

Although vehicle designs vary, 

many drivers can achieve the 

10 in. (250 mm) distance, even 

with the driver seat all the way 

forward, simply by reclining the 

back of the seat somewhat. If 

reclining the back of your seat 

makes it hard to see the road, 

raise yourself by using a firm, 

non-slippery cushion, or raise 

the seat if your vehicle has that 

feature.

• If your steering wheel is adjust-

able, tilt it downward. This 

points the airbag toward your 

chest instead of your head and 

neck.

The seat should be adjusted as 

recommended by NHTSA above, 

while still maintaining control of 

the foot pedals, steering wheel, 

and your view of the instrument 

panel controls.

If the seat belt extender has 

been connected to the front 

seat belt buckles but the seat 

belt extender has not also been 

fastened to the latch plate of the 

seat belt, the SRS front airbags 

will judge that the driver and 

front passenger are wearing the 

seat belt even though the seat 

belt has not been connected. In 

this case, the SRS front airbags 

may not activate correctly in a 

collision, resulting in death or 

serious injury in the event of a 

collision. Be sure to wear the 

seat belt with the seat belt 

extender.

The SRS front passenger air-

bag also deploys with consider-

able force, and can cause death 

or serious injury especially if the 

front passenger is very close to 

the airbag. The front passenger 

seat should be as far from the 

airbag as possible with the seat-

back adjusted, so the front pas-

senger sits upright.

WARNING

Improperly seated and/or 

restrained infants and children 

can be killed or seriously injured 

by a deploying airbag. An infant 

or child who is too small to use 

a seat belt should be properly 

secured using a child restraint 

system. Toyota strongly recom-

mends that all infants and chil-

dren be placed in the rear seats 

of the vehicle and properly 

restrained. The rear seats are 

safer for infants and children 

than the front passenger seat. 

(

P.48)

Do not sit on the edge of the 

seat or lean against the dash-

board.

Do not allow a child to stand in 

front of the SRS front passenger 

airbag unit or sit on the knees of 

a front passenger.

Do not allow the front seat occu-

pants to hold items on their 

knees.

Do not lean against the door, 

the roof side rail or the front, 

side and rear pillars.

Do not allow anyone to kneel on 

the passenger seats toward the 

door or put their head or hands 

outside the vehicle.

Do not attach anything to or 

lean anything against areas 

such as the dashboard, steering 

wheel pad and lower portion of 

the instrument panel.

These items can become pro-

jectiles when the SRS driver,

WARNING

Do not attach anything to areas 

such as a door, windshield, side 

windows, front or rear pillar, roof 

side rail and assist grip. (Except 

for the speed limit label 

P.492)

Do not hang hangers or other 

hard objects on the coat hooks. 

All of these items could become 

projectiles and may cause 

death or serious injury, should 

the SRS curtain shield airbags 

deploy.

If a vinyl cover is put on the area 

where the SRS driver’s knee 

airbag will deploy, be sure to 

remove it.

Do not use seat accessories 

which cover the parts where the 

SRS side airbags and SRS seat 

cushion airbag inflate as they 

may interfere with inflation of 

the SRS airbags. Such acces-

sories may prevent the side air-

bags and seat cushion airbag 

from activating correctly, disable 

the system or cause the side 

airbags and seat cushion airbag 

to inflate accidentally, resulting 

in death or serious injury.

Do not strike or apply significant 

levels of force to the area of the 

SRS airbag components or the 

front doors.

Doing so can cause the SRS 

airbags to malfunction.

Do not touch any of the compo-

nent parts immediately after the 

SRS airbags have deployed 

(inflated) as they may be hot.

If breathing becomes difficult 

after the SRS airbags have 

deployed, open a door or win-

dow 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.

If the areas where the SRS air-

bags are stored, such as the 

steering wheel pad and front 

and rear pillar garnishes, are 

damaged or cracked, have 

them replaced by your Toyota 

dealer.

Do not place anything, such as 

a cushion, on the front passen-

ger’s seat. Doing so will 

disperse the passenger’s 

weight, which prevents the sen-

sor from detecting the passen-

ger’s weight properly. As a 

result, the SRS front airbags for 

the front passenger may not 

deploy in the event of a colli-

sion.

Modification and disposal of 

SRS airbag system compo-

nents

Do not dispose of your vehicle or 

perform any of the following modi-

fications without consulting your 

Toyota dealer. The SRS airbags

exhaust gases if inhaled.

WARNING

Exhaust gases include harmful 

carbon monoxide (CO), which is 

colorless and odorless. Observe 

the following precautions.

Failure to do so may cause 

exhaust gases enter the vehicle 

and may lead to an accident 

caused by light-headedness, or 

may lead to death or a serious 

health hazard.

Important points while driving

Keep the trunk lid closed.

If you smell exhaust gases in 

the vehicle even when the trunk 

lid is closed, open the windows 

and have the vehicle inspected 

at your Toyota dealer as soon 

as possible.

When parking

If the vehicle is in a poorly venti-

lated area or a closed area, 

such as a garage, stop the 

hybrid system.

Do not leave the vehicle with 

the hybrid system on for a long 

time.

If such a situation cannot be 

avoided, park the vehicle in an 

open space and ensure that 

exhaust fumes do not enter the 

vehicle interior.

Do not leave the hybrid system 

operating in an area with snow 

build-up, or where it is snowing. 

If snowbanks build up around 

the vehicle while the hybrid sys-

tem is operating, exhaust gases 

may collect and enter the vehi-

cle.

Exhaust pipe

The exhaust system needs to be 

checked periodically. If there is a 

hole or crack caused by corro-

sion, damage to a joint or abnor-

The laws of all 50 states of the 
U.S.A. as well as Canada now 
require the use of child restraint 
systems.

Prioritize and observe the 
warnings, as well as the laws 
and regulations for child 
restraint systems.

Use a child restraint system 
until the child becomes large 
enough to properly wear the 
vehicle’s seat belt.

Choose a child restraint sys-
tem that suits your vehicle 
and is appropriate to the age 
and size of the child.

Child restraint sys-

tems

Before installing a child 
restraint system in the vehi-
cle, there are precautions 
that need to be observed, 
different types of child 
restraint systems, as well as 
installation methods, etc., 
written in this manual.

Use a child restraint system 
when riding with a small child 
that cannot properly use a 
seat belt. For the child’s 
safety, install the child 
restraint system to a rear seat. 
Be sure to follow the installa-
tion method that is in the oper-
ation manual enclosed with 
the restraint system.

Points to remember

WARNING

When a child is riding

Observe the following precau-

tions. 

Failure to do so may result in 

death or serious injury.

WARNING

For effective protection in auto-

mobile accidents and sudden 

stops, a child must be properly 

restrained, using a seat belt or 

child restraint system which is 

correctly installed. For installa-

tion details, refer to the opera-

tion manual enclosed with the 

child restraint system. General 

installation instruction is pro-

vided in this manual.

Toyota strongly urges the use of 

a proper child restraint system 

that conforms to the weight and 

size of the child, installed on the 

rear seat. According to accident 

statistics, the child is safer when 

properly restrained in the rear 

seat than in the front seat.

Holding a child in your or some-

one else’s arms is not a substi-

tute for a child restraint system. 

In an accident, the child can be 

crushed against the windshield 

or between the holder and the 

interior of the vehicle.

Handling the child restraint 

system

If the child restraint system is not 

properly fixed in place, the child or 

other passengers may be seri-

ously injured or even killed in the 

event of sudden braking, sudden 

swerving, or an accident.

If the vehicle were to receive a 

strong impact from an accident, 

etc., it is possible that the child 

restraint system has damage 

that is not readily visible. In 

such cases, do not reuse the 

restraint system.

For Puerto Rico: Depending on 

the child restraint system, instal-

lation may be difficult or impos-

sible. In those cases, check 

whether the child restraint sys-

tem is suitable for installment in 

the vehicle. (

P.54) Be sure to 

install and observe the usage 

rules after carefully reading the 

child restraint system fixing 

method in this manual, as well 

as the operation manual 

enclosed with the child restraint 

system.

Except for Puerto Rico: Make 

sure you have complied with all 

installation instructions provided 

with the child restraint system 

manufacturer and that the sys-

tem is properly secured.

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 passenger 

compartment.

If it is necessary to detach the 

child restraint system, remove it 

from the vehicle or store it 

securely in the trunk.

Otherwise, put the head restraint in 
the upper most position.

WARNING

When using a child restraint 

system

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may result in 

death or serious injury.

Never install a rear-facing child 

restraint system on the front 

passenger seat even if the “AIR 

BAG OFF” indicator light is illu-

minated. In the event of an acci-

dent, the force of the rapid 

inflation of the front passenger 

airbag can cause death or seri-

ous injury to the child if the 

rear-facing child restraint sys-

tem is installed on the front pas-

senger seat.

A forward-facing child restraint 

system may be installed on the 

front passenger seat only when 

it is unavoidable. A child 

restraint system that requires a 

top tether strap should not be 

used in the front passenger seat 

since there is no top tether strap 

anchor for the front passenger 

seat.

A forward-facing child restraint 

system may be installed on the 

front passenger seat only when 

it is unavoidable. When install-

ing a forward-facing child 

restraint system on the front 

passenger seat, adjust the seat-

back angle to the most upright 

position, move the seat to the 

rearmost position, and raise the 

seat to the upper most position, 

even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-

cator light is illuminated. If the 

head restraint interferes with the 

child restraint system installa-

tion and the head restraint can 

be removed, remove the head 

restraint.

WARNING

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 or 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 sys-

tem. It is dangerous if the SRS 

side and curtain shield airbags 

inflate, and the impact could 

cause death or serious injury to 

the child.

When a booster seat is 

installed, always ensure that the 

shoulder belt is positioned 

across the center of the child’s 

shoulder. The belt should be 

kept away from the child’s neck, 

but not so that it could fall off the 

child’s shoulder.

Use child restraint system suit-

able to the age and size of the 

child and install it to the rear 

seat.

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.

Adjust the front passenger seat

When securing some types of 
child restraint systems in rear 
seat, it may not be possible to 
properly use the seat belts in 
positions next to the child 
restraint without interfering with 
it or affecting seat belt effective-
ness. Be sure your seat belt fits 
snugly across your shoulder and 
low on your hips. If it does not, 
or if it interferes with the child 
restraint, move to a different 
position. Failure to do so may 
result in death or serious injury.

When installing a child 
restraint in the rear seats, 
adjust the front seat so that it 
does not interfere with the 
child or child restraint system.

When installing a child seat 
with support base, if the child 
seat interferes with the seat-
back when latching it into the 
support base, adjust the seat-
back rearward until there is no 
interference.

If the seat belt shoulder 
anchor is ahead of the child 
seat belt guide, move the seat 
cushion forward.

When installing a junior seat, 
if the child in your child 
restraint system is in a very 
upright position, adjust the 
seatback angle to the most 
comfortable position. And if 
the seat belt shoulder anchor 
is ahead of the child seat belt 
guide, move the seat cushion 
forward.

A child restraint system for a 
small child or baby must itself be 
properly restrained on the seat

WARNING

When installing a child 

restraint system

Observe the following precau-

tions. 

Failure to do so may result in 

death or serious injury.

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.

Ensure that the belt and plate 

are securely locked and the 

seat belt is not twisted.

Shake the child restraint system 

left and right, and forward and 

backward to ensure that it has 

been securely installed.

After securing a child restraint 

system, never adjust the seat.

When a booster seat is 

installed, always ensure that the 

shoulder belt is positioned 

across the center of the child’s 

shoulder. The belt should be 

kept away from the child’s neck, 

but not so that it could fall off the 

child’s shoulder.

Follow all installation instruc-

tions provided by the child 

restraint system manufacturer.

When securing some types of 

child restraint systems in rear 

seats, it may not be possible to 

properly use the seat belts in 

positions next to the child 

restraint without interfering with 

it or affecting seat belt effective-

ness. Be sure your seat belt fits 

snugly across your shoulder 

and low on your hips. If it does 

not, or if it interferes with the 

child restraint, move to a differ-

ent position. Failure to do so 

may result in death or serious 

injury.

WARNING

When installing a booster 

seat

To prevent the belt from going into 

ALR lock mode, do not fully 

extend the shoulder belt. ALR 

mode causes the belt to tighten 

only. This could cause injury or 

discomfort to the child. (

P.29)

Do not use a seat belt 

extender

If a seat belt extender is used 

when installing a child restraint 

system, the seat belt will not 

securely hold the child restraint 

system, which could cause death 

or serious injury to the child or 

other passengers in the event of 

sudden braking, sudden swerv-

ing or an accident.
