Toyota 2006 Sienna Owner's Manual page 149

Toyota strongly urges use of
D
proper child restraint system which
conforms to the size of the child,
installed on the rear seat. Accord-
ing to accident statistics, the child
is safer when properly restrained in
the rear seat than in the front seat.
Never install a rear- facing child re-
D
straint system on the front passen-
ger seat even if the "AIRBAG 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 A forward- facing child restraint sys-
D
tem should be allowed
installed on the front passenger
seat only when it is unavoidable.
Always move the seat as far back
as possible even if the "AIRBAG
OFF" indicator light is illuminated,
because the front passenger airbag
could inflate with
speed and force. Otherwise,
child may be killed or seriously in-
jured.
On vehicles with side airbags and
D
curtain shield airbags, do not allow
the child to lean his/her head or
any part of his/her body against the
side window or the area of the
seat, front or side pillars or roof
side rails from which the side air-
bags or curtain shield
deploy even if the child is seated in
the child restraint system. It is dan-
gerous if the side airbag and/or
curtain shield airbag inflate, and the
impact could cause death or seri-
ous injury to the child.
Do not use the seat belt extender
D
to be when installing
system on the front or rear passen-
ger seat. If installing a child re-
straint system with the seat belt
extender connected to the seat belt,
the seat belt will not securely hold
the child restraint system, which
could cause death or serious injury
considerable
to the child or other passengers in
the
the event of collision.
Make sure that you have complied
D
with all installation instructions pro-
vided by
manufacturer and that the system is
properly secured. If it is not se-
cured properly, it may cause death
or serious injury to the child in the
event of a sudden stop or accident.
