Toyota 2008 Camry Solara Owner's Manual page 94

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 front passenger
occupant classification indicator
light indicates "OFF". In the event
of an accident, the force of the rap-
id inflation of the front passenger
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 front pas-
senger occupant classification indi-
cator light indicates "OFF", because
the front passenger airbag could in-
flate with considerable speed and
force. Otherwise, the child may be
killed or seriously injured.
Do not allow the child to lean his/
D
her head or any part of his/her
body against the door or the area
of the seat, front or rear pillar or
roof side rail from which the side
airbags or curtain shield airbags
deploy even if the child is seated in
the child restraint system. It is dan-
gerous if the side airbag and cur-
tain 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
to the child or other passengers in
the event of collision.
Make sure you have complied with
D
all installation instructions provided
by the child restraint manufacturer
and that the system is properly se-
cured. If it is not secured properly,
it may cause death or serious injury
to the child in the event of a sud-
den stop or accident.
