2006 TACOMA from Jan.’06 Prod. (OM35871U)

When it is unavoidable to install the
forward- facing child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat,
install the child restraint system on
the front passenger seat in the
proper order. (As for the installation
order, see “—Installation with seat
belt” on page 104 in this Section.)

Do not modify or remove the front
seats.

Do not kick the front passenger
seat or subject it to severe impact.
Otherwise, the SRS warning light
may come on to indicate a malfunc-
tion of the detection system. In this
case, contact your Toyota dealer im-
mediately.

The front passenger occupant
classification indicator light may indicate
“ON” (the front passenger airbag and side
airbag on the front passenger seat may
deploy) even if observing the above
cautions, when a child sits in, or a
forward- facing child restraint system is
installed on the front passenger seat.
Refer to all the cautions in “SRS driver
airbag and front passenger airbag” on
page 64, “SRS side airbags and curtain
shield airbags” on page 72 and “Child
restraint” on page 90.

Toyota strongly urges the use of ap-
propriate child restraint systems for
children.

The laws of all 50 states in the U.S.A.
and Canada now require the use of a
child restraint system.

Your vehicle conforms to SAEJ1819.

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 43 in this Section for details.

CAUTION

For effective protection in automo-
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.
