Seatbelts—

—Seatbelt precautions

CAUTION
To decrease the chance of injury and/
D
or the severity of injury in accidents,
Toyota recommends that the driver
and all passengers be properly re-
strained at all times with the seatbelts
provided.
In the case of a child, pregnant women
D
and/or injured person, please read the
specific precautions set out in this
Section.
The seatbelts provided for your vehicle are
designed for people of adult size, large en-
ough to properly wear them.
Child. Use a child restraint system appropri-
ate for the child until the child becomes large
enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat-
belts. See "Child restraint" on page 78 in this
Section for details.
If a child is too large for a child restraint sys-
tem, the child should sit in the rear seat and
must be restrained using the vehicle's seat-
belt. According to accident statistics, the
56
child is safer when properly restrained in the
rear seat than in the front seat.
If a child must sit in the front seat, the seat-
belts should be worn properly. If an accident
occurs and the seatbelts are not worn proper-
ly, the force of the rapid inflation of the airbag
may cause death or serious injury to the
child.
Do not allow any children to stand up or kneel
on either rear or front seats. An unrestrained
child could suffer serious injury or death dur-
ing emergency braking or a collision. Also,
do not let the child sit on your lap. Holding
a child in your arms does not provide suffici-
ent restraint.
Pregnant woman. Toyota recommends the
use of a seatbelt. Ask your doctor for specific
recommendations. The lap belt should be
worn securely and as low as possible over
the hips and not on the waist.
Injured person. Toyota recommends the use
of a seatbelt. Depending on the injury, first
check with your doctor for specific recom-
mendations.
