1. Sit the child on a booster seat. Run
the lap and shoulder belt through or
around the booster seat and across the
child following the instructions provided
by its manufacturer and insert the tab
into the buckle taking care not to twist

across the child's shoulder and that the
lap belt is positioned as low as possible

CAUTION
D
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 shoulder. Fail-
ure to do so could reduce the
amount of protection in an accident
and cause serious injuries in a col-
lision.
D
Both high–positioned lap belts and
loose–fitting belts could cause seri-
ous injuries due to sliding under
the lap belt during a collision or
other unintended result. Keep the
lap belt positioned as low on a
child's hips as possible.
D
For child's safety, do not place the
shoulder belt under child's arm.
D
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.
D
Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in
the buckle as this may prevent your
child from properly latching the tab
and buckle.
D
If the seat belt does not function
normally, it cannot protect
child from injury. Contact
Toyota dealer immediately. Do not
use the child restraint system until
the seat belt is fixed.
