Child Restraint - Toyota KUN26L-P series Owner's Manual

Child restraint—

—Child restraint precautions
Toyota strongly urges the use of ap-
propriate child restraint systems for
children.
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" on
page 37 for details.
CAUTION
For effective protection in automo-
D
bile accidents and sudden stops, a
child must be properly restrained,
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 substitute for a
child restraint system. In an acci-
dent, the child can be crushed
against the windshield, or between
you and the vehicle's interior.

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
installed on the front passenger
seat only when it is unavoidable.
Always move the seat as far back
as possible, because the front pas-
senger airbag could inflate with
considerable speed and
Otherwise, the child may be killed
or seriously injured.
Make sure you have complied with

all installation instructions provided
by the child restraint manufacturer

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 or accident.
