1-1.For safe use
Use only floor mats designed
specifically for vehicles of the
same model and model year as
your vehicle. Fix them securely
in place onto the carpet.
1
Insert the retaining hooks
(clips) into the floor mat eye-
lets.
2
Turn the upper knob of each
retaining hook (clip) to secure
the floor mats in place.
Always align the
marks
.
The shape of the retaining hooks
(clips) may differ from that shown in
the illustration.
Before driving
Observe the following
before starting off in the
vehicle to ensure safety of
driving.
Installing floor mats
WARNING
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may cause the
driver’s floor mat to slip, possibly
interfering with the pedals while
driving. An unexpectedly high
speed may result or it may
become difficult to stop the vehi-
cle. This could lead to an acci-
dent, resulting in death or serious
injury.
■
When installing the driver’s
floor mat
●
Do not use floor mats designed
for other models or different
model year vehicles, even if
they are Toyota Genuine floor
mats.
●
Only use floor mats designed
for the driver’s seat.
●
Always install the floor mat
securely using the retaining
hooks (clips) provided.
●
Do not use two or more floor
mats on top of each other.
●
Do not place the floor mat bot-
tom-side up or upside-down.

Adjust the angle of the seat-
back so that you are sitting
straight up and so that you do
not have to lean forward to
steer. (
Adjust the seat so that you
can depress the pedals fully
and so that your arms bend
slightly at the elbow when
gripping the steering wheel.
(
Lock the head restraint in
place with the center of the
head restraint closest to the
top of your ears. (
Wear the seat belt correctly.
(
WARNING
■
Before driving
●
Check that the floor mat is
securely fixed in the correct
place with all the provided
retaining hooks (clips). Be espe-
cially careful to perform this
check after cleaning the floor.
●
With the engine stopped and
the shift lever in P, fully depress
each pedal to the floor to make
sure it does not interfere with
the floor mat.

1-1. For safe use
HIGHLANDER_U
Make sure that all occupants are
wearing their seat belts before
driving the vehicle. (
Use a child restraint system
appropriate for the child until the
child becomes large enough to
properly wear the vehicle’s seat
belt. (
Make sure that you can see
backward clearly by adjusting
the inside and outside rear view
mirrors properly. (
WARNING
■
For safe driving
Observe the following precau-
tions. Failure to do so may result
in death or serious injury.
●
Do not adjust the position of the
driver’s seat while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver
to lose control of the vehicle.
●
Do not place a cushion between
the driver or passenger and the
seatback. A cushion may pre-
vent correct posture from being
achieved, and reduce the effec-
tiveness of the seat belt and
head restraint.
●
Do not place anything under the
front seats. Objects placed
under the front seats may
become jammed in the seat
tracks and stop the seat from
locking in place. This may lead
to an accident and the adjust-
ment mechanism may also be
damaged.
●
Always observe the legal speed
limit when driving on public
roads.
●
When driving over long dis-
tances, take regular breaks
before you start to feel tired.
Also, if you feel tired or sleepy
while driving, do not force your-
self to continue driving and take
a break immediately.

Seat belts
Make sure that all occu-
pants are wearing their seat
belts before driving the
vehicle.
WARNING
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of injury in the
event of sudden braking, sudden
swerving or an accident. Failure
to do so may cause death or seri-
ous injury.
■
Wearing a seat belt
●
Ensure that all passengers wear
a seat belt.
●
Always wear a seat belt prop-
erly.
●
Each seat belt should be used
by one person only. Do not use
a seat belt for more than one
person at once, including chil-
dren.
●
Toyota recommends that chil-
dren be seated in the rear seat
and always use a seat belt
and/or an appropriate child
restraint system.
●
To achieve a proper seating
position, do not recline the seat
more than necessary. The seat
belt is most effective when the
occupants are sitting up straight
and well back in the seats.
●
Do not wear the shoulder belt
under your arm.
●
Always wear your seat belt low
and snug across your hips.
■
Pregnant women
Obtain medical advice and wear
the seat belt in the proper way.
(
Women who are pregnant should
position the lap belt as low as
possible over the hips in the same
manner as other occupants,
extending the shoulder belt com-
pletely over the shoulder and
avoiding belt contact with the
rounding of the abdominal area.
If the seat belt is not worn prop-
erly, not only the pregnant
woman, but also the fetus could
suffer death or serious injury as a
result of sudden braking or a colli-
sion.
■
People suffering illness
Obtain medical advice and wear
the seat belt in the proper way.

cle
■
Seat belt damage and wear
●
Do not damage the seat belts
by allowing the belt, plate, or
buckle to be jammed in the
door.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
28
1-1. For safe use
HIGHLANDER_U
Extend the shoulder belt so
that it comes fully over the
shoulder, but does not come
into contact with the neck or
slide off the shoulder.
Position the lap belt as low as
possible over the hips.
Adjust the position of the
seatback. Sit up straight and
well back in the seat.
Do not twist the seat belt.
■
Emergency locking retractor
(ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during
a sudden stop or on impact. It may
also lock if you lean forward too
quickly. A slow, easy motion will
allow the belt to extend so that you
can move around fully.
■
Automatic locking retractor
(ALR)
When a passenger’s shoulder belt is
completely extended and then
retracted even slightly, the belt is
locked in that position and cannot
be extended. This feature is used to
hold the child restraint system
(CRS) firmly. To free the belt again,
fully retract the belt and then pull the
belt out once more. (
P.50)
■
Child seat belt usage
The seat belts of your vehicle were
principally designed for persons of
adult size.
●
Use a child restraint system
appropriate for the child, until the
child becomes large enough to
properly wear the vehicle’s seat
belt. (
●
When the child becomes large
enough to properly wear the vehi-
cle’s seat belt, follow the instruc-
tions regarding seat belt usage.
(
P.27)
■
Seat belt extender
If your seat belts cannot be fastened
securely because they are not long
enough, a personalized seat belt
extender is available from your Toy-
ota dealer free of charge.
WARNING
●
Inspect the seat belt system
periodically. Check for cuts,
fraying, and loose parts. Do not
use a damaged seat belt until it
is replaced. Damaged seat belts
cannot protect an occupant
from death or serious injury.
●
Ensure that the belt and plate
are locked and the belt is not
twisted. If the seat belt does not
function correctly, immediately
contact your Toyota dealer.
●
Replace the seat assembly,
including the belts, if your vehi-
cle has been involved in a seri-
ous accident, even if there is no
obvious damage.
●
Do not attempt to install,
remove, modify, disassemble or
dispose of the seat belts. Have
any necessary repairs carried
out by your Toyota dealer. Inap-
propriate handling may lead to
incorrect operation.

■
Using a seat belt extender
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of injury in the
event of sudden braking, sudden
swerving or an accident. Failure
to do so may cause death or seri-
ous injury.
●
Do not wear the seat belt
extender if you can fasten the
seat belt without the extender.
●
Do not use the seat belt
extender when installing a child
restraint system because the
belt will not securely hold the
child restraint system, increas-
ing the risk of death or serious
injury in the event of an acci-
dent.
●
The personalized extender may
not be safe on another vehicle,
when used by another person,
or at a different seating position
other than the one originally
intended.
NOTICE

The pretensioners help the seat
belts to quickly restrain the
occupants by retracting the seat
belts when the vehicle is sub-
jected to certain types of severe
frontal or side collision or a vehi-

The pretensioners do not activate
in the event of a minor frontal
impact, a minor side impact or a
rear impact.
■
Replacing the belt after the pre-

■
Using a seat belt comfort
guide
Failure to observe the following
precautions could reduce the
effectiveness of the seat belt in an
accident, causing death or seri-
ous injury.
●
Make sure the belt is not twisted
and that it lies flat. The elastic
cord must be behind the belt
and the guide must be on the
front.
●
To reduce the chance of injury
in case of a sudden stop, sud-
den swerve or accident while
driving, remove and store the
comfort guide in its pocket when
it is not in use.

WARNING
■
Seat belt pretensioners
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of injury in the
event of sudden braking, sudden
swerving or an accident. Failure
to do so may cause death or seri-
ous injury.
●
Do not place anything, such as
a cushion, on the front passen-
ger’s seat. Doing so will
disperse the passenger’s
weight, which prevents the sen-
sor from detecting the passen-
ger’s weight properly. As a
result, the seat belt pretensioner
for the front passenger’s seat
may not activate in the event of
a collision.
●
If the pretensioner has acti-
vated, the SRS warning light will
come on. In that case, the seat
belt cannot be used again and
must be replaced at your Toyota
dealer.

Airbag sensor assembly
Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed
based on the US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The
airbag sensor assembly (ECU) controls airbag deployment based on
information obtained from the sensors etc. shown in the system
components diagram above. This information includes crash sever-
ity and occupant information. As the airbags deploy, a chemical
reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to
help restrain the motion of the occupants.
■
If the SRS airbags deploy
(inflate)
●
Slight abrasions, burns, bruising
etc., may be sustained from SRS
airbags, due to the extremely high
speed deployment (inflation) by
hot gases.
●
A loud noise and white powder will
be emitted.
●
Parts of the airbag module (steer-
ing wheel hub, airbag cover and
inflator) as well as the front seats,
parts of the front and rear pillars,
and roof side rails, may be hot for
several minutes. The airbag itself
may also be hot.
●
The windshield may crack.
●
All of the doors will be unlocked.
(
●
The brakes and stop lights will be
controlled automatically. (
●
The interior lights will turn on auto-
matically. (
●
The emergency flashers will turn
on automatically. (
●
Fuel supply to the engine will be
stopped. (
●
For Safety Connect subscribers, if
any of the following situations
occur, the system is designed to
send an emergency call to the
response center, notifying them of
the vehicle’s location (without
needing to push the “SOS” button)
and an agent will attempt to speak
with the occupants to ascertain
the level of emergency and assis-
tance required. If the occupants
are unable to communicate, the
agent automatically treats the call
as an emergency and helps to dis-
patch the necessary emergency
services. (
• An SRS airbag is deployed.
• A seat belt pretensioner is acti-
vated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe
rear-end collision.
■
SRS airbag deployment condi-
tions (SRS front airbags)
●
The SRS front airbags will deploy
in the event of an impact that
exceeds the set threshold level
(the level of force corresponding
to an approximately 12 - 18 mph
[20 - 30 km/h] frontal collision with
a fixed wall that does not move or
deform).
However, this threshold velocity will
be considerably higher in the follow-
ing situations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object,
such as a parked vehicle or sign
pole, which can move or deform
on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an
underride collision, such as a colli-
sion in which the front of the vehi-
cle “underrides”, or goes under,
the bed of a truck
●
Depending on the type of collision,
it is possible that only the seat belt
pretensioners and SRS seat cush-
ion airbag will activate.

●
The SRS front airbags for the front
passenger will not activate if there
is no passenger sitting in the front
passenger seat. However, the
SRS front airbags for the front
passenger may deploy if luggage
is put in the seat, even if the seat
is unoccupied.
●
The SRS seat cushion airbag on
the front passenger seat will not
operate if the occupant is not
wearing a seat belt.
■
SRS airbag deployment condi-
tions (SRS side and curtain
shield airbags)
●
The SRS side and curtain shield
airbags will deploy in the event of
an impact that exceeds the set
threshold level (the level of force
corresponding to the impact force
produced by an approximately
3300 lb. [1500 kg] vehicle colliding
with the vehicle cabin from a
direction perpendicular to the
vehicle orientation at an approxi-
mate speed of 12 - 18 mph [20 -
30 km/h]).
●
Both SRS curtain shield airbags
may deploy in the event of a
severe side collision.
●
Both SRS curtain shield airbags
will deploy in the event of vehicle
rollover.
●
Both SRS curtain shield airbags
may also deploy in the event of a
severe frontal collision.
■
Conditions under which the
SRS airbags may deploy
(inflate), other than a collision
The SRS front airbags and SRS cur-
tain shield airbags may also deploy
if a serious impact occurs to the
underside of your vehicle. Some
examples are shown in the illustra-
tion.
●
Hitting a curb, edge of pavement
or hard surface
●
Falling into or jumping over a deep
hole
●
Landing hard or falling
The SRS curtain shield airbags may
also deploy under the situations
shown in the illustration.
●
The angle of vehicle tip-up is mar-
ginal.
●
The vehicle skids and hits a curb
stone.
■
Types of collisions that may not
deploy the SRS airbags (SRS
front airbags)
The SRS front airbags do not gener-
ally inflate if the vehicle is involved
in a side or rear collision, if it rolls
over, or if it is involved in a
low-speed frontal collision. But,
whenever a collision of any type
causes sufficient forward decelera-
tion of the vehicle, deployment of
the SRS front airbags may occur.
●
Collision from the side
●
Collision from the rear
●
Vehicle rollover

■
SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions
regarding the SRS airbags.
Failure to do so may cause death
or serious injury.
●
The driver and all passengers in
the vehicle must wear their seat
belts properly.
The SRS airbags are supple-
mental devices to be used with
the seat belts.
●
The SRS driver airbag deploys
with considerable force, and
can cause death or serious
injury especially if the driver is
very close to the airbag. The
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA)
advises:
Since the risk zone for the
driver’s airbag is the first 2 - 3
in. (50 - 75 mm) of inflation,
placing yourself 10 in. (250 mm)
from your driver airbag provides
you with a clear margin of
safety. This distance is mea-
sured from the center of the
steering wheel to your breast-
bone. If you sit less than 10 in.
(250 mm) away now, you can
change your driving position in
several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as
far as you can while still reach-
ing the pedals comfortably.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
40
1-1. For safe use
HIGHLANDER_U
WARNING
• Slightly recline the back of the
seat.
Although vehicle designs vary,
many drivers can achieve the
10 in. (250 mm) distance, even
with the driver seat all the way
forward, simply by reclining the
back of the seat somewhat. If
reclining the back of your seat
makes it hard to see the road,
raise yourself by using a firm,
non-slippery cushion, or raise
the seat if your vehicle has that
feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjust-
able, tilt it downward. This
points the airbag toward your
chest instead of your head and
neck.
The seat should be adjusted as
recommended by NHTSA above,
while still maintaining control of
the foot pedals, steering wheel,
and your view of the instrument
panel controls.
●
If the seat belt extender has
been connected to the front
seat belt buckles but the seat
belt extender has not also been
fastened to the latch plate of the
seat belt, the SRS front airbags
will judge that the driver and
front passenger are wearing the
seat belt even though the seat
belt has not been connected. In
this case, the SRS front airbags
may not activate correctly in a
collision, resulting in death or
serious injury in the event of a
collision. Be sure to wear the
seat belt with the seat belt
extender.
●
The SRS front passenger air-
bag also deploys with consider-
able force, and can cause death
or serious injury especially if the
front passenger is very close to
the airbag. The front passenger
seat should be as far from the
airbag as possible with the seat-
back adjusted, so the front pas-
senger sits upright.

WARNING
●
Improperly seated and/or
restrained infants and children
can be killed or seriously injured
by a deploying airbag. An infant
or child who is too small to use
a seat belt should be properly
secured using a child restraint
system. Toyota strongly recom-
mends that all infants and chil-
dren be placed in the rear seats
of the vehicle and properly
restrained. The rear seats are
safer for infants and children
than the front passenger seat.
(
P.50)
●
Do not sit on the edge of the
seat or lean against the dash-
board.
●
Do not allow a child to stand in
front of the SRS front passenger
airbag unit or sit on the knees of
a front passenger.
●
Do not allow the front seat occu-
pants to hold items on their
knees.
●
Do not lean against the door,
the roof side rail or the front,
side and rear pillars.
●
Do not allow anyone to kneel on
the passenger seat toward the
door or put their head or hands
outside the vehicle.
●
Do not attach anything to or
lean anything against areas
such as the dashboard, steering
wheel pad and lower portion of
the instrument panel.
These items can become pro-
jectiles when the SRS driver,
front passenger and knee air-
bags deploy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HIGHLANDER_U
WARNING
●
Do not attach anything to areas
such as a door, windshield, side
windows, front or rear pillar, roof
side rail and assist grip.
●
Do not hang coat hangers or
other hard objects on the coat
hooks. All of these items could
become projectiles and may
cause death or serious injury,
should the SRS curtain shield
airbags deploy.
●
If a vinyl cover is put on the area
where the SRS knee airbag will
deploy, be sure to remove it.
●
Do not use seat accessories
which cover the parts where the
SRS side airbags and SRS seat
cushion airbag inflate as they
may interfere with inflation of
the SRS airbags. Such acces-
sories may prevent the side air-
bags and seat cushion airbag
from activating correctly, disable
the system or cause the side
airbags and seat cushion airbag
to inflate accidentally, resulting
in death or serious injury.
●
Do not strike or apply significant
levels of force to the area of the
SRS airbag components or the
front doors. Doing so can cause
the SRS airbags to malfunction.
●
Do not touch any of the compo-
nent parts immediately after the
SRS airbags have deployed
(inflated) as they may be hot.
●
If breathing becomes difficult
after the SRS airbags have
deployed, open a door or win-
dow to allow fresh air in, or
leave the vehicle if it is safe to
do so. Wash off any residue as
soon as possible to prevent skin
irritation.
●
If the areas where the SRS air-
bags are stored, such as the
steering wheel pad and front
and rear pillar garnishes, are
damaged or cracked, have
them replaced by your Toyota
dealer.
●
Do not place anything, such as
a cushion, on the front passen-
ger’s seat. Doing so will
disperse the passenger’s
weight, which prevents the sen-
sor from detecting the passen-
ger’s weight properly. As a
result, the SRS front airbags for
the front passenger may not
deploy in the event of a colli-
sion.
■
Modification and disposal of
SRS airbag system compo-
nents
Do not dispose of your vehicle or
perform any of the following modi-
fications without consulting your
Toyota dealer. The SRS airbags
may malfunction or deploy

Front passenger occupant
classification system precau-
tions
Observe the following precautions
regarding the front passenger
occupant classification system.
Failure to do so may cause death
or serious injury.
●
Wear the seat belt properly.
●
Make sure the front passenger’s
seat belt plate has not been left
inserted into the buckle before
someone sits in the front pas-
senger seat.
●
Make sure the “PASS AIR BAG
OFF” indicator light is not illumi-
nated when using the seat belt
extender for the front passenger
seat. If the “PASS AIR BAG
OFF” indicator light is illumi-
nated, disconnect the extender
tongue from the seat belt
buckle, and reconnect the seat
belt. Reconnect the seat belt
extender after making sure the
“PASS AIR BAG ON” indicator
light is illuminated. If you use
the seat belt extender while the
“PASS AIR BAG OFF” indicator
light is illuminated, the SRS air-
bags for the front passenger will
not activate, which could cause
death or serious injury in the
event of a collision.
●
Do not apply a heavy load to the
front passenger seat or equip-
ment (e.g. seatback pocket).
●
Do not put weight on the front
passenger seat by putting your
hands or feet on the front pas-
senger seat seatback from the
rear passenger seat.
●
Do not let a rear passenger lift
the front passenger seat with
their feet or press on the seat-
back with their legs.
●
Do not put objects under the

WARNING
●
Do not recline the front passen-
ger seatback so far that it
touches a rear seat. This may
cause the “PASS AIR BAG
OFF” indicator light to be illumi-
nated, which indicates that the
SRS airbags for the front pas-
senger will not activate in the
event of a severe accident. If
the seatback touches the rear
seat, return the seatback to a
position where it does not touch
the rear seat. Keep the front
passenger seatback as upright
as possible when the vehicle is
moving. Reclining the seatback
excessively may lessen the
effectiveness of the seat belt
system.
●
If an adult sits in the front pas-
senger seat, the “PASS AIR
BAG ON” indicator light is illumi-
nated. If the “PASS AIR BAG
OFF” indicator is illuminated,
ask the passenger to sit up
straight, well back in the seat,
feet on the floor, and with the
seat belt worn correctly. If the
“PASS AIR BAG OFF” indicator
still remains illuminated, either
ask the passenger to move to
the rear seat, or if that is not
possible, move the front pas-
senger seat fully rearward.
●
When it is unavoidable to install
a forward-facing child restraint
system on the front passenger
seat, install the child restraint
system on the front passenger
seat in the proper order.
(
P.52)
●
Do not modify or remove the

WARNING
●
Toyota strongly urges the use of
a proper child restraint system
that conforms to the weight and
size of the child, installed on the
second seat. According to acci-
dent statistics, the child is safer
when properly restrained in the
second seat than in the front
seat.
●
Holding a child in your or some-
one else’s arms is not a substi-
tute for a child restraint system.
In an accident, the child can be
crushed against the windshield
or between the holder and the
interior of the vehicle.
■
Handling the child restraint
system
If the child restraint system is not
properly fixed in place, the child or
other passengers may be seri-
ously injured or even killed in the
event of sudden braking, sudden
swerving, or an accident.
●
If the vehicle were to receive a
strong impact from an accident,
etc., it is possible that the child
restraint system has damage
that is not readily visible. In
such cases, do not reuse the
restraint system.
●
Make sure you have complied
with all installation instructions
provided with the child restraint
system manufacturer and that
the system is properly secured.
●
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 passenger
compartment.
●
If it is necessary to detach the
child restraint system, remove it
from the vehicle or store it
securely in the luggage com-
partment.

WARNING
■
When using a child restraint
system
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury.
●
Never install a rear-facing child
restraint system on the front
passenger seat even if the
“PASS AIR BAG OFF” indicator
light is illuminated. In the event
of an accident, the force of the
rapid inflation of the front pas-
senger airbag can cause death
or serious injury to the child if
the rear-facing child restraint
system is installed on the front
passenger seat.
●
A forward-facing child restraint
system may be installed on the
front passenger seat only when
it is unavoidable. A child
restraint system that requires a
top tether strap should not be
used in the front passenger seat
since there is no top tether strap
anchor for the front passenger
seat.
●
A forward-facing child restraint
system may be installed on the
front passenger seat only when
it is unavoidable. When install-
ing a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front
passenger seat, raise the seat-
back as much as possible, and
move the seat to the rearmost
position, even if the “PASS AIR
BAG OFF” indicator light is illu-
minated.
If the head restraint interferes with
the installation of the child
restraint system, and the head
restraint can be removed, remove
the head restraint.
If the head restraint cannot be
removed, raise it to the uppermost
position.

If there is a gap between the child
seat and the seatback, adjust the
seatback angle until good contact is
achieved.
WARNING
●
Do not allow the child to lean
his/her head or any part of
his/her body against the door or
the area of the seat, front or rear
pillars, or roof side rails from
which the SRS side airbags or
SRS curtain shield airbags
deploy even if the child is
seated in the child restraint sys-
tem. It is dangerous if the SRS
side airbags and curtain shield
airbags inflate, and the impact
could cause death or serious
injury to the child.
●
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.
●
Use child restraint system suit-
able to the age and size of the
child and install it to the rear
seat.
●
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.

WARNING
■
When installing a child
restraint system
Observe the following precau-
tions.
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 injuries
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 instruc-
tions 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 effective-
ness. 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 differ-
ent 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.28)
■
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
sudden braking, sudden swerv-
ing or an accident.

Exposure to radio fre-
quency 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 wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with
the safety standards 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
Measurement) Report 86
[1986]
ICNIRP (International Com-
mission on Non-Ionizing Radi-
ation Protection) [1996]
Those standards were based on
comprehensive and periodic
evaluations of the relevant sci-
entific literature. Over 120 scien-
tists, engineers, and physicians
from universities, and govern-
ment health agencies and
industries reviewed the avail-
able body of research to
