tem on the rear seat if it interferes
with the lock mechanism of the
front seats. Otherwise, the child or
front seat occupant, may be killed
or seriously injured in case of sud-
den braking or a collision.

not allow sufficient space for safe
installation, install the child re-
straint system on the rear right
seat. Child restraint system

(B) CONVERTIBLE SEAT INSTALLATION
A convertible seat must be used in for-
wardfacing or rearfacing position de-
pending on the age and size of the
child. When installing, follow the
manufacturer ’s instructions about the
applicable age and size of the child as
well as directions for installing the
child restraint system.

1312007 TUNDRA from Jul. ’07 Prod. (OM34463U)
Install the child restraint system on the
front passenger seat only when it is un-
avoidable. Your vehicle is equipped with a
front passenger occupant classification
system. In order to activate the occupant
classification system correctly, install the
forward−facing child restraint system on
the front passenger seat in the following
order:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position.
2. Move the right front passenger seat to the rearward position.
3. When it is unavoidable, put the child restraint system on the front passenger
seat without putting your weight on the
front passenger seat.
4. Insert the seat belt tab into the seat belt buckle.
5. Fully extend the shoulder belt to put it in the lock mode. When the belt is
then retracted even slightly, it cannot
be extended. To hold the seat securely,
make sure the belt is in the lock mode
before letting the belt retract. 6. While pressing the convertible seat
firmly against the seat cushion and
seatback, let the shoulder belt retract
as far as it will go to hold the convert-
ible seat securely.
CAUTION
Push and pull the child restraint sys-
tem in different directions to be sure
it is secure. Follow all the installation
instructions provided by its manufac-
turer.
7. Put a child on the child restraint sys-tem and secure the child, complying
with the instructions provided by the
child restraint system manufacturer.
The passenger airbag on −off indicator light
should indicate “OFF” when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position and the
child is in the child restraint system after
following these procedures. The “OFF” in-
dicator indicates the SRS front passenger
airbag and side airbag on the passenger
side will not deploy. if the indicator light
indicates “ON”, do the following procedure: 1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Remove the child restraint system.
3. When reinstalling a child restraint sys-
tem, make sure the seatback does not
press the child restraint system into
the seat cushion. If this occurs, adjust
the seatback angle slightly.
4. Then make sure the head restraint is not pressing the child restraint system
into the seat cushion. If this occurs,
raise the head restraint.
5. Turn the ignition on again.
The passenger airbag on −off indicator light
should indicate “OFF”. If the indicator light
still indicates “ON” when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position, then
the SRS front passenger airbag and side
airbag on the passenger side may deploy
in an accident. Do not drive the vehicle
in this condition. Remove the child re-
straint system and contact your Toyota
dealer.

1322007 TUNDRA from Jul. ’07 Prod. (OM34463U)
CAUTION
Never install a rearfacing child re-
straint system on the front passen-
ger seat. A forwardfacing child re-
straint system should only be
installed on the front passenger
seat when unavoidable. If you must
install the child restraint system on
the front passenger seat, put the
seat in its most rearward position,
and install the forwardfacing child
restraint system in the proper or-
der. Otherwise, the front passenger
occupant classification system can
not detect the presence of the child
restraint system and the front pas-
senger airbag and side airbag on
the front passenger seat could
deploy, and the impact could cause
death or serious injury to the child.
XS13063
CAUTION
Never install a rearfacing child re-
straint system on the front passen-
ger seat even if the passenger air-
bag onoff indicator light indicates
“OFF”. In the event of an accident,
the impact of the rapid inflation of
the front passenger airbag could
cause death or serious injury to the
child if the rearfacing child re-
straint system is installed on the
front passenger seat.
XS13064
Move seat
fully back
A forwardfacing child restraint sys-
tem should be allowed to be
installed on the front passenger
seat only when it is unavoidable.
Always move the seat as far back
as possible even if the passenger
airbag onoff indicator light indi-
cates “OFF”, because the front pas-
senger airbag could inflate with
considerable speed and force.
Otherwise, the child may be killed
or seriously injured.

1332007 TUNDRA from Jul. ’07 Prod. (OM34463U)
Do not allow the child to lean his/
her head or any part of his/her
body against the door or the area
of the seat, front or rear pillar or
roof side rail from which the side
airbags or curtain shield airbags
deploy even if the child is seated in
the child restraint system. It is dan-
gerous if the side airbag and cur-
tain shield airbag inflate, and the
impact could cause death or seri-
ous injury to the child.
XS13065
Do not install a child restraint sys-
tem on the rear seat if it interferes
with the lock mechanism of the

den braking or a collision.
If the driver ’s seat position does
not allow sufficient space for safe
installation, install the child re-
straint system on the rear right
seat. Child restraint system
