Types Of Child Restraint System - Toyota Celica 1997 Owner's Manual

CAUTION
!
D Never install a rear-facing child re-
straint system on the front seat. In
the event of an accident, the force
of the rapid inflation of the airbag
can cause severe injury if a rear-
facing child restraint system is
installed on the front seat.
D Unless it is unavoidable, do not
install a forward-facing child re-
straint system on the front seat.
D If you must install a forward-fac-
ing child restraint system on the
front seat, move the seat as far
back as possible.
D After installing the child restraint
system, make sure it is secured in
place following the manufactur-
er's instructions. If it is not re-
strained securely, it may cause in-
jury to the child in the event of a
sudden stop or accident.

When not using the child restraint system,
keep it secured with the seat belt. This will
prevent it injuring passengers in the event
of a sudden stop or accident.
Coupe and liftback only—Your vehicle
has anchors for securing the top strap of
a child restraint system. The anchor nuts
are welded beneath the sheet metal to
permit installation of an anchor bracket for
a child restraint system.
To install an anchor bracket, use an 8 mm
X 30 mm X 1.25 mm coarse thread metric
bolt and 15 mm (0.6 in.) spacer. Note that
the bolts accompanying many child re-
straint systems are not metric. You can
damage the anchor nuts on our vehicle if
you force bolts with different thread into
the anchor nuts.
For instructions about how to install the
anchor bracket, see "Top strap anchors
and locations."
If your child restraint system does not pro-
vide any of the necessary parts, you can
purchase the following items from your
Toyota dealer.
