Toyota 2004 Rav4 Owner's Manual page 81

Never install a rear- facing child re-
D
straint system on the front passen-
ger seat. In the event of an acci-
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.
'04 Rav4_U (L/O 0403)
Do not install a child restraint sys-
D
tem on the rear seat if it interferes
with the lock mechanism of the
front seats. Otherwise, the child or
front seat occupant(s) may be killed
or seriously injured in case of sud-
den braking or a collision.
If the driver's seat position does
D
not allow sufficient space for safe
installation, install the child
straint system on the rear right
seat.
Same position Same angle
When installing a child restraint
D
system on the rear center position,
adjust both seat cushions to the
same position and align both seat-
backs at the same angle. Otherwise,
the child restraint system cannot be
securely restrained and this may
cause death or serious injuries in a
collision.
