INSTALLING CHILD
RESTRAINTS
WARNINGS
EXTREME HAZARD! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an airbag in front
of it.
Incorrectly fitted child restraints may
swing, tip or come away causing
death or injury.
Do not use a child restraint if the
tether strap falls into a split in the
vehicle seat back or falls off the edge
of the vehicle seat.
After installing a child restraint system,
push and pull the system forward and back
and from side to side to verify that it is
secured.
Be sure to read and follow the instructions
provided by the child restraint
manufacturer. If you have any doubts
contact the child restraint manufacturer
or consult an approved Restraint Fitting
Station. Your automobile club or local
vehicle registration authority can provide
location details of fitting stations.
When installing the child restraint
attaching clip to the anchor fitting, raise
the head restraint (where fitted) and pass
the tether strap between the head restraint
supports. This will prevent the tether strap
from falling off the outboard edge of the
seating positions.

Note: Side curtain air bags (where fitted)
will not interfere with a properly installed
child restraint system or booster seat,
because they are designed to inflate
downward from the headliner above the
doors along the side window openings.
When a child restraint system is not being
used, either remove it and store it in a safe
place, or make sure it is properly secured.
An unsecured child restraint system can
be thrown around the vehicle in a collision
or sudden stop and injure someone.
CHILD RESTRAINT ANCHORAGE
LOCATIONS
Upper (top tether) anchorages - Double
Cab
WARNING: child restraint
anchorages are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed
by correctly fitted child restraints. Under
no circumstances are they to be used for
adult seatbelts, harnesses or for attaching
other items or equipment to the vehicle.
There are two child restraint anchorage
points on the rear panel of the Double Cab,
one behind each outboard seating position
in the locations shown below. Do not fit a
