OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS

—Child restraint system

A child restraint system for a small
child or baby must itself be properly
restrained on the seat with either the
lap belt or the lap portion of the lap/
shoulder belt. You must carefully con-
sult the manufacturer's
which accompany the child restraint
system.
To provide proper restraint, use a child
restraint system following the manufactur-
er's instructions about
child's age and size of 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.
CAUTION
When the child restraint system is
not in use:
Keep the child restraint system
D
properly secured on the seat even
if it is not in use. Do not store the
restraint unsecured in the passen-
ger compartment.
If it is necessary to detach the
D
child restraint system, remove it
from the vehicle or store it securely
in the luggage compartment. This
will prevent it from injuring passen-
gers in the event of a sudden stop,
sudden swerve or accident.
