1-7. Safety information
■
When installing the child restraint system on the front passenger seat
■
Selecting an appropriate child restraint system
Get an appropriate child restraint system for the child. If a child is too large
for a child restraint system, sit the child on a rear seat and use the vehicle's
seat belt. (→P. 69)
CAUTION
■
Using a child restraint system
The use of a child restraint system not suitable for the vehicle may not prop-
erly secure the infant or child, resulting in serious injury or even death.
■
Child restraint precautions
●
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.
●
Toyota strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that con-
forms to the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to acci-
dent statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat
than in the front seat.
126
When you have to use a child restraint
system on the front passenger seat,
adjust the following:
●
The seatback to the most upright
position
●
The seat cushion to the fully rear-
ward and highest position
●
The seat belt height to the lowest
position
