WARNING
n Child restraint precautions
l For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child
must be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system
depending on the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is
not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be
crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle’s interior.
l Vehicles without rear seats: Toyota strongly urges the use of a proper child
restraint system that conforms to the size of the child.
l Vehicles with rear seats: Toyota strongly urges the use of a proper child
restraint system that conforms to the size of the child, installed on the rear
seat. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly
restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
l Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger
seat even if the “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-fac-
ing child restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat.
l Vehicles without rear seats: A forward-facing child restraint system may be
installed on the front passenger seat only when it is unavoidable. Adjust
the seatback as upright as possible and always move the seat as far back
as possible even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated,
because the front passenger airbag could inflate with considerable speed
and force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously injured.
l Vehicles with rear seats: 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. Adjust the seatback as upright as possible and always
move the seat as far back as possible even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator
light is illuminated, because the front passenger airbag could inflate with
considerable speed and force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seri-
ously injured.
