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
stowing position.

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 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 instructions 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 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.

■

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. 30)

■

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 sud-
den braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

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

■

When installing in the rear center seat
There  are  no  LATCH  anchors  behind  the  rear  center  seat.  How-
ever, the inboard LATCH anchors of the outboard seats, which are
16.1 in. (410 mm) apart, can be used if the child restraint system
manufacturer’s  instructions  permit  use  of  those  anchors  with  the
anchor spacing stated.
Child  restraint  systems  with  rigid  lower  attachments  cannot  be
installed in the center seat. This type of child restraint system can
only be installed in the outboard seat.

■

Laws and regulations pertaining to anchors
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 SAE J1819.

WARNING

■

When installing a child restraint system
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

●

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.

●

Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.

●

Never attach two child restraint system attachments to the same anchor. In
a collision, one anchor may not be strong enough to hold two child
restraint system attachments and may break.
If the LATCH anchors are already in use, use the seat belt to install a child
restraint system in the center seat.

●

If the seat is adjusted, reconfirm the security of the child restraint system.

Automatic Collision Notification
In case of either airbag deployment or severe rear-end collision, the
system is designed to automatically call the response center. The
responding  agent  receives  the  vehicle’s  location  and  attempts  to
speak with the vehicle occupants to assess the level of emergency.
If  the  occupants  are  unable  to  communicate,  the  agent  automati-
cally  treats the call  as  an  emergency,  contacts  the  nearest emer-
gency services provider to describe the situation, and requests that
assistance be sent to the location.

■

Stolen Vehicle Location
If your vehicle is stolen, Safety Connect can work with local author-
ities to assist them in locating and recovering the vehicle. After filing
a police report, call the Safety Connect response center at 1-855-
405-6500 in the Unites States, 1-877-855-8377 in Puerto Rico or 1-
888-869-6828 in  Canada,  and  follow  the prompts  for  Safety Con-
nect to initiate this service.
In  addition  to assisting law enforcement with  recovery of  a stolen
vehicle, Safety-Connect-equipped vehicle location data may, under
certain  circumstances,  be  shared  with  third  parties  to  locate  your
vehicle. Further information is available at Toyota.com in the United
States, Toyotapr.com in Puerto Rico and Toyota.ca in Canada.

■

Exposure to radio frequency signals
The Safety Connect system installed in your vehicle is a low-power
radio transmitter and receiver. It receives and also sends out radio
frequency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for mobile wire-
less phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety stan-
dards previously set by the following U.S. and international
standards bodies.
● ANSI (American National Standards Institute) C95.1 [1992]
● NCRP (National Council on Radiation Protection and Measure-

ment) Report 86 [1986]

● ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation

Protection) [1996]

Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic eval-
uations of the relevant scientific literature. Over 120 scientists, engi-
neers, and physicians from universities, and government health
agencies and industries reviewed the available body of research to
develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect complies with the FCC guidelines in
addition to those standards.
