Child restraint

Child restraint precautions
Toyota strongly urges the use of child
restraint systems for children
enough to use them.
The laws of all fifty states in the U.S.A.
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" in this
section for details.
CAUTION
D
For effective protection in automo-
bile accidents and sudden stops,
children must be properly
strained 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 sub-
stitute for a child restraint system.
In an accident, the child can be
crushed against the windshield, or
between you and the vehicle's inte-
rior.
