Toyota strongly urges use of a
proper child restraint system
which conforms to the size of the
child and is put on the rear seat.
According to accident statistics,
the child is safer when properly re-
strained in the rear seat than in the
front seat.
Never put 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 death or serious injury
if a rear-facing child restraint sys-
tem is put on the front seat.
Unless it is unavoidable, do not
put a forward-facing child re-
straint system on the front seat.
A forward-facing child restraint
system should be put on the front
seat only when it is unavoidable.
Always move the seat as far back
as possible, because the force of a
deploying airbag could cause
death or serious injury to the child.
Make sure that you have complied
with all installation instructions
provided by the child restraint
manufacturer and that the system
is properly secured.
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 instructions
which accompany your child restraint
system.
To provide proper restraint, use a child re-
straint system following the manufactur-
er’s instructions about the appropriate
age and size of the child for the child re-
straint system.
Install the child restraint system correctly
following the instructions provided by its
manufacturer of the system. General di-
rections are also provided under the fol-
lowing illustrations.
The child restraint system should be
installed on the rear seat. According to ac-
cident statistics, the child is safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat than in
the front seat.

in the event of a sudden stop or ac-
cident.
