CAUTION
■
When installing a child restraint system
●
If child restraint system regulations exist in the country where you reside,
please contact your Toyota dealer for the child restraint system informa-
tion.
●
If other second seats interfere with the child restraint system when install-
ing a child restraint system in the second seat, adjust the seat cushions to
the same position and align the 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 accident.
●
When a junior (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. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury in the
event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
●
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.
●
Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
■
To correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchors
When using the ISOFIX rigid anchors, be sure that there are no foreign
objects around the anchors and that the seat belt is not caught behind the
child restraint system. Make sure the child restraint system is securely
attached, or it may cause death or serious injury to the child or other passen-
gers in the event of a sudden braking, sudden swerve or an accident.
■
Using child restraint anchorages
WARNING: child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances
are they to be used for adult seatbelts, harnesses, or for attaching other
items or equipment to the vehicle.
