SEATS, SEAT BELTS, STEERING WHEEL AND MIRRORS
Seat belts—
—Seat belt precautions
Toyota strongly urges that the driver and
passengers in the vehicle be properly re-
strained at all times with the seat belts
provided. Failure to do so could increase
the chance of injury and/or the severity of
injury in accidents.
The seat belts provided for your vehicle
are designed for people of adult size,
large enough to properly wear them.
Child. Use a child restraint system ap-
propriate for the child until the child be-
comes large enough to properly wear the
vehicle's seat belts. Toyota recommends
you use a child restraint system which
conforms to the regulation "ECE No.44".
See "Child restraint" on page 44 for de-
tails.

Single cab models
:
If a child is too large for a child re-
D
straint system, the child should sit in
the seat and must be restrained using
the vehicle's seat belt.
Without passengers' seat belts—We
D
recommend installing the passengers'
seat belts on your vehicle. Ask any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped
professional, if passengers' seat belts
can be installed on your vehicle. If
installation is possible, put the child in
the passenger's seat and use the seat
belt.
*
Double cab models
:
With rear seat belts—If a child is too
D
large for a child restraint system, the
child should sit in the rear seat and
must be restrained using the vehicle's
seat belt. According to accident statis-
tics, the child is safer when properly
restrained in the rear seat than in the
front seat.

: See "Model code" on page vi in the
beginning of this manual if you are not
sure of your vehicle model.

D
mend installing the rear seat belts on
your
vehicle.
Ask
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped profession-
al, if rear seat belts can be installed
on
your
vehicle.
If
possible, put the child in the rear seat
and use the seat belts. If installation is
not possible, let the child sit in the
front seat and use the seat belt.
If a child must sit in the front seat, the
seat belts should be worn properly.
Do not allow the child to stand up or
kneel on either rear or front seats. An
unrestrained child could suffer serious in-
jury or death during emergency braking or
a collision. Also, do not let the child sit
on your lap. It does not provide sufficient
restraint.
Pregnant woman. Toyota recommends the
use of a seat belt. Ask your doctor for
specific recommendations. The lap belt
should be worn securely and as low as
possible over the hips and not on the
waist.
Injured person. Toyota recommends the
use of a seat belt. Depending on the inju-
ry, first check with your doctor for specific
recommendations.
If seat belt regulations exist in the country
where you reside, please contact any au-
thorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional, for seat belt replacement or
installation.
