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.

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. This will prevent it
from injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or
accident.

Laws and regulations pertaining to anchorages

The LATCH system conforms to FMVSS225 or CMVSS210.2.
Child  restraint  systems  conforming  to  FMVSS213  or  CMVSS213  specifica-
tions can be used.
This vehicle is designed to conform to the SAE J1819.

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. 31)

When installing a child restraint system

Follow the directions given in the child restraint system installation manual
and fix the child restraint system securely in place.
If the child restraint system is not correctly fixed in place, the child or other
passengers may be seriously injured or even killed in the event of a sudden
braking or an accident.

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 so that
it  does  not  interfere  with  the  child
restraint system.

Only put a forward-facing child restraint
system on the front seat when unavoid-
able.  When  installing  a  forward-facing
child  restraint  system  on the  front  pas-
senger seat, move the seat as far back
as possible even if the “AIR BAG OFF”
indicator  light  is  illuminated.  Failure  to
do  so  may  result  in  death  or  serious
injury if the airbags deploy (inflate).

WARNING

When installing a child restraint system

Vehicles with third row seats: When using the LATCH anchors for a child
restraint system, move the seat as far back as possible, with the seatback
close to the child restraint system.

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. Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury in the event
of an accident or a sudden braking.

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.

When  securing  some  types  of  child  restraint  systems  in  second  or  third
row 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
effectiveness. 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.

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 a sud-
den braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

To correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchors

When using the LATCH 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 passengers in
the event of a sudden braking or an accident.

Exhaust gas precautions

Harmful  substance  to  the  human  body  is  included  in  exhaust
gases if inhale.

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 back door closed.

If  you  smell  exhaust  gases  in  the  vehicle  even  when  the  back  door  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  ventilated  area  or  a  closed  area,  such  as  a
garage, stop the engine.

Do not leave the vehicle with the engine 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 engine running in an area with snow build-up, or where it
is snowing. If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the engine is
running, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle.

Exhaust pipe

The exhaust system needs to be checked periodically. If there is a hole or
crack caused by corrosion, damage to a joint or abnormal exhaust noise, be
sure to have the vehicle inspected and repaired by your Toyota dealer.
