Child Restraint - Toyota TUNDRA 2004 Owner's Manual

Child restraint—

—Child restraint precautions
Toyota strongly urges the use of ap-
propriate child restraint systems for
children.
The laws of all 50 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 rear
seat and must be restrained using the
vehicle's seat belt. See "Seat belts" in this
Section for details.
CAUTION
For effective protection in automo-
D
bile 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 acci-
dent, the child can be crushed
against the windshield, or between
you and the vehicle's interior.

Toyota strongly urges use of
proper child restraint system which
conforms to the size of the child.
ACCESS CAB MODELS—
Toyota strongly urges use of
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 put infant or child age 1 to
D
12 in a passenger risk group on the
right front passenger seat with the
a
passenger airbag manual
switch in the "ON" position. In the
event of an accident, the force of
the rapid inflation of the front pas-
a
senger 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 airbag and
front passenger airbag" in this Sec-
tion.)
Do not use the seat belt extender
D
when installing a child
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
to the child or other passengers in
the event of collision.
