Toyota strongly urges use of

proper child restraint system which
conforms to the size of the child,
installed on the rear seat. Accord-

is safer when properly restrained in
the rear seat than in the front seat.
Never install a rear−facing child re-

dent, the force of the rapid inflation
of the front passenger airbag can
cause death or serious injury to the
child if the rear−facing child re-
straint system is installed on the
front passenger seat.
A forward−facing child restraint sys-

—Child restraint system
A child restraint system for a small
child or baby must itself be properly
restrained on the seat with the lap por-
tion of the lap/shoulder belt. You must
carefully consult the manufacturer's in-
structions which accompany the child
restraint system.
To provide proper restraint, use a child
restraint system following the manufactur-
er's instructions about the appropriate age
and size of the child for the child restraint
system.

accident statistics, the child is safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat than
in the front seat.
When not using the child restraint system,
keep it secured with the seat belt or place
it somewhere other than the passenger
compartment. This will prevent it from in-
juring passengers in the event of a sud-
den stop or accident.
