Child restraint—
—Child restraint precautions
Toyota strongly urges the use of child
restraint systems for children
enough to use them.
The laws of all fifty states in the U.S.A.
and Canada now require the use of a
child restraint system.
Your vehicle conforms to SAEJ1819.
If a child is too large for a child restraint
system, the child should sit in the seat
and must be restrained using the vehicle's
seat belt. See "Seat belts" for details.
CAUTION
For effective protection in automo-
D
bile accidents and sudden stops,
children must be properly
strained 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 sub-
stitute for a child restraint system.
In an accident, the child can be
crushed against the windshield, or
between you and the vehicle's inte-
rior.

ACCESS CAB MODELS—
Toyota strongly urges use of
proper child restraint system which
conforms to the size of the child
and is put 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 put infant or child age 1 to

12 in a passenger risk group on the
right front seat with the passenger
airbag manual on- off switch in the
re-
"ON" position. In the event of an
accident, the force of
inflation of the passenger airbag
can cause death or serious injury
to the child.
If you must put infant or child age
1 to 12 in a passenger risk group
on the right front seat, make sure
the passenger airbag manual on- off
switch is in the "OFF" position and
that the indicator light is on. (For
details, see "SRS driver and front
passenger airbags" in this chapter.)
