! Improperly seated and/or restrained
infants and children can be killed
or seriously injured by the deploy-
ing airbags. An infant or child who
is too small to use a seat belt
should be properly secured using a
child restraint system. Toyota
strongly recommends that all in-
fants and children be placed in the
rear seat of the vehicle and proper-
ly restrained. The rear seat is the
safest for infants and children. For
instructions concerning the installa-
tion of a child restraint system, see
“Child restraint” on page 82 in this
section.
! Do not allow a child to lean his/her
head or any part of his/her body
against the front door or the area
of the seat, front pillar or roof side
from which the side and curtain
shield airbags deploy even if he/she
is seated in the child restraint sys-
tem. It is dangerous if the side and
curtain shield airbags inflate, and
the impact could cause death or
serious injury to the child. For
instructions concerning the installa-
tion of a child restraint system, see
“Child restraint” on page 82 in this
section.
! Do not allow a child to kneel on the
front passenger seat facing the
front passenger’s side door when
the vehicle is in use. The side and
curtain shield airbags inflate with
considerable speed and impact; the
child may be killed or seriously in-
jured.
