The child restraint systems mentioned in the table may not be avail-
able outside the EU area. 
● Double-cab models: 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 inter-

feres with the seatback when latching it into the support base,
adjust the seatback rearward until there is no interference.

● When installing a forward-fac-

ing child seat, if there is a gap
between the child seat and the
seatback, adjust the seatback
angle until good contact is
achieved.

● 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 sys-

tem 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.

Installing child restraint system using a seat belt

Install the child restraint system in accordance to the operation
manual enclosed with the child restraint system.

X

Front seat
Adjust the seatback angle to the most upright position. Move the
front seat fully rearward. (

→P. 186)

When it is unavoidable to install a rear-facing child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat, a child restraint system can be
installed if the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is lit.
If the head restraint interferes with your child restraint system,
and the head restraint can be removed, remove the head
restraint. Otherwise, put the head restraint in the upper most
position. (

→P. 191)

X

Rear seat
If the head restraint interferes with your child restraint system,
and the head restraint can be removed, remove the head
restraint. Otherwise, put the head restraint in the upper most
position. (

→P. 191)

Run the seat belt through the child restraint system and insert the
plate into the buckle. Make sure that the belt is not twisted.
Securely fix the seat belt to the child restraint system in accor-
dance to the directions enclosed with the child restraint system.

If your child restraint system
is not equipped with a lock-
off (a seat belt locking fea-
ture), secure the child
restraint system using a lock-
ing clip.

After installing the child restraint system, rock it back and forth to
ensure that it is installed securely. (

→P. 81)

Removing a child restraint system installed with a seat belt

Press the buckle release button and fully retract the seat belt.

When releasing the buckle, the child restraint system may spring up due
to the rebound of the seat cushion. Release the buckle while holding
down the child restraint system.
Since the seat belt automatically reels itself, slowly return it to the stow-
ing position.

■

When installing a child restraint system
You may need a locking clip to install the child restraint system. Follow the
instructions provided by the manufacturer of the system. If your child restraint
system does not provide a locking clip, you can purchase the following item
from any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional: Locking clip for child restraint system 
(Part No. 73119-22010)

■

When removing the head restraint to install a child restraint system
After removing the child restraint system, make sure to reinstall the head
restraint.

WARNING

■

When installing a child restraint system
Observe the following precautions.
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 inju-
ries 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 junior 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 instructions provided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
