Toyota Land Cruiser 2016 Owner's Manual page 65

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.
A forward−facing child restraint sys-
tem should be allowed to be instal-
led on the front passenger seat
only when it is unavoidable. Always
move the seat as far back as pos-
sible, because the front passenger
airbag could inflate with consider-
able speed and force. Otherwise,
the child may be killed or seriously
injured.
If child restraint system regulations
D
exist in the country where you re-
side, please contact your Toyota
dealer for the installation of the
child restraint system.

Make sure you have complied with
D
all installation instructions provided
by the child restraint manufacturer
and that the system is properly se-
cured. If it is not secured properly,
it may cause death or serious injury
to the child in the event of a sud-
den stop, sudden swerve or acci-
dent.
If the vehicle were to receive a
D
strong impact from an accident,
etc., it is possible that the child
restraint system has damage that is
not readily visible. In such cases,
do not reuse the restraint system.
Do not allow children to play with
D
the seat belt. If the seat belt be-
comes twisted around a child's
neck, it may lead to choking or oth-
er serious injuries that could result
in death. If this occurs and the
buckle cannot be unfastened, scis-
sors should be used to cut the belt.
—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.
Toyota recommends that you use a child
restraint system which conforms to the
regulation "ECE No.44".
Install the child restraint system correctly
following the instructions provided by its
manufacturer. General directions are also
provided under the following illustrations.
The child restraint system should be
installed on the rear seat. According to
accident statistics, the child is safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat than
in the front seat.
