Toyota Rav4 Manual page 93

The "AIR BAG OFF" indicator light should
be illuminated when the engine switch is
in the "ON" position and the child is in the
child restraint system after following these
procedures. The "AIR BAG OFF" indicator
light indicates the SRS front passenger
airbag and side airbag on the passenger
side will not deploy. If the "AIR BAG ON"
indicator light is illuminated, remove the
child restraint system and reinstall it with
the engine switch in the "ACC" or "LOCK"
position. If the "AIR BAG ON" indicator
light is illuminated when the engine switch
is turned to the "ON" position, then the
SRS front passenger airbag and side air-
bag on the passenger side may deploy in
an accident. Do not drive the vehicle in
this condition. Remove the child restraint
system and contact your Toyota dealer.

CAUTION
D
Never install a rear−facing child re-
straint system on the front passen-
ger seat. A forward−facing child re-
straint system should only
installed on the front passenger
seat when unavoidable. If you must
install the child restraint system on
the front passenger seat, put the
seat in its most rearward position,
and install the forward−facing child
restraint system in the proper or-
der. Otherwise, the front passenger
occupant classification system can
not detect the presence of the child
restraint system and the front pas-
senger airbag and side airbag on
the front passenger seat could
deploy, and the impact could cause
death or serious injury to the child.

serious injury to the child if the
rear−facing child restraint system is
installed on the front passenger
seat.
