1998 TOYOTA 4RUNNER Owners Manual

4RUNNER (1998)
CAUTION
Never put a rear- facing child
restraint system in the front
seat because the force of the
rapid inflation of the passenger
airbag can cause death or seri-
ous injury to the child.

4RUNNER (1998)
Move seat fully back
A forward- facing child restraint
system should be allowed to
put on the front seat only when
it is unavoidable. Always move
the seat as far back as pos-
sible, because the force of a
deploying airbag could cause
death or serious injury to the
child.

4RUNNER (1998)
Do not put a rear- facing child
restraint system in the rear seat
if it interferes with the lock
mechanism of the front seats.
This can cause severe injury to
the child and front passenger in
case of sudden braking or a
collision.

1. Run the lap and shoulder belt
through or around the convertible
seat following the instructions pro-
vided by its manufacturer and in-
sert the tab into the buckle taking
care not to twist the belt. Keep the
lap portion of the belt tight.
CAUTION
After inserting the tab, make
sure the tab and buckle are
locked and that the lap and
shoulder portions of the belt
are not twisted.
Do not insert coins, clips, etc.
in the buckle as this may pre-
vent you from properly latching
the tab and buckle.
If the seat belt does not
function normally, it cannot
protect your child from injury.
Contact your Toyota dealer
immediately. Do not use the
seat until the seat belt is fixed.

2. Fully extend the shoulder belt to
put it in the lock mode. When the
belt is then retracted slightly, it
cannot be extended.
To hold the convertible seat securely,
make sure the belt is in the lock
mode before letting the belt retract.

3. While pressing the convertible seat
firmly against the seat cushion and
seatback, let the shoulder belt re-
tract as far as it will go to hold the
convertible seat securely.

CAUTION
Make sure the seat belt is secure-
ly locked. Also make sure the
child restraint system is secure
by pushing and pulling it in dif-
ferent directions. Follow all the
installation instructions provided
by its manufacturer.
4. To remove the convertible seat,
press the buckle- release button
and allow the belt to retract com-
pletely. The belt will move freely
again and be ready to work for an
adult or older child passenger.
