IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Carrying Children
Using Seat Belts or Child Restraint Systems (CRS)
WARNING
• Have your child wear a seat belt. When driving with a small child, who cannot
wear a seat belt properly, use a suitable child restraint system (CRS).
• Do not drive the vehicle if a child is standing in front of any of the airbags or on
the seats, or is being held in your arms, or is sitting on your lap.
• Do not let the child sit on an ordinary cushion for the reason that it is hard to see
out of the window. It is dangerous because the child's body cannot be restrained
in the event of a sudden stop or accident.
• For crew cab models, we recommend installing the CRS on the second seat.
• Never use a rearward-facing CRS on a seat protected by an active airbag
in front of it, death or serious injury to the child can occur. The label on the
passenger side sun visor shows warning pictograms.
Seat Belts → Refer to page 3-72
Child Restraint System (CRS)
→ Refer to page 3-81
Passenger Side SRS Airbag On-Off
Switch → Refer to page 3-121
Placing a Child on the Second Seat
WARNING
• For crew cab models, we recommend placing children on the second seat.
Placing a child on the front passenger seat may cause the driver to be distracted
by the child's appearance or the child may touch the controls, leading to an
unexpected accident.
