IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Carrying Children
WARNING
The vehicle's seat belts are designed for adults. If a seat belt touches a child's
neck or chin, or does not rest across his/her hips, use a baby seat, child seat or
junior seat. If the seat belt were used as it is, it could apply intense pressure to
the child's abdomen in the event of a collision. A small child who is not able to
sit up by him/herself must be placed in a child seat.
Do not fit a baby seat, child seat or junior seat on the center seat. It could
hinder your driving.
•
•
NOTE
The appropriate type of baby seat, child seat or junior seat and the proper
installation for it depend upon the weight and height of the child.
It may not be possible to correctly fit certain child seats depending on their
shapes. Be sure to use a child seat that is suitable for the vehicle.
*For detailed instructions, see the instruction manual supplied with the baby
seat, child seat or junior seat.
•
Seat Belts →Refer to page 3-20
Do not Leave a Child Alone in the Vehicle
WARNING
When you leave the vehicle, take
the child with you. If you leave the
child alone in the cab, the child
could interfere with things, causing
vehicle movement, a fire or some
other accident. Also, the cab inside
could become dangerously hot when
heated by the sun.
