 Selecting an appropriate child restraint system
 Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child
becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
 If a child is too large for a child restraint system, sit the child on a rear
seat and use the vehicle’s seat belt. (

CAUTION
 Using a child restraint system
The use of a child restraint system not suitable for the vehicle may not prop-
erly secure the infant or child. It may result in death or serious injury (in the
event of sudden braking or an accident).
 Child restraint precautions
 For effective protection in automobile 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 accident, the child can be
crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle’s interior.
 Toyota strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that con-
forms to the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to acci-
dent statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat
than in the front seat.
 Never use a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat
when the airbag manual on-off switch is on. (

In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front pas-
senger airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child.
