CAUTION
D
Before normal driving, make sure
the "RSCA OFF" indicator light is
off.
D
When the roll sensing function is
turned off (and the "RSCA OFF"
indicator light is on), the curtain
shield airbags and seat belt preten-
sioners will not work in a vehicle
rollover. Turning off the
shield airbags and seat belt preten-
sioners reduces occupant protection
which your vehicle safety systems
can provide in accidents and in-
crease the likelihood of death or
serious injuries.

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 SAE J1819.
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" on
curtain
page 64 in this Section for details.
CAUTION
D
For effective protection in automo-
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
against the windshield, or between
you and the vehicle's interior.
D
Toyota strongly urges use of
proper child restraint system which
conforms to the size of the child,
and is installed on the rear seat.
According to accident statistics, the
child is safer when properly re-
strained in the rear seat than in the
front seat.
D
Never install a rear−facing child re-
straint system on the front passen-
ger seat even if the front passenger
occupant classification
light indicates "OFF". In the event
of an accident, the impact of the
rapid inflation of the front passen-
ger airbag could cause death or se-
rious injury to the child if the rear−
facing child
installed on
seat.
