2008 TOYOTA SEQUOIA child seat

132 1-7. Safety information
CAUTION
■When installing a child restraint system
Follow the directions given in the child restraint system installation manual
and fix the child restraint system securely in place.
If the child restraint system is not correctly fixed in place, the child or other
passengers may be seriously injured or even killed in the event of sudden
braking or an accident.
●When a booster seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is
positioned across the center of the child's shoulder. The belt should be
kept away from the child's neck, but not so that it could fall off the child's
shoulder. Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury in the event
of an accident or sudden braking.
● Ensure that the belt and tab are securely locked and the seat belt is not
twisted.
● Push and pull the child restraint system in different directions to be sure it
is secure.
● Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
●If the driver's seat interferes with the
child restraint system and prevents it
from being attached correctly, attach
the child restraint system to the right-
hand rear seat.
● Adjust the front passenger seat so that
it does not interfere with the child
restraint system.
● Only put a forward-facing or booster
child seat on the front seat when
unavoidable. When installing a forward-
facing or booster child seat on the front
passenger seat, move the seat as far
back as possible even if AIR BAG OFF
indicator light is illuminated. Failing to
do so may result in death or serious
injury if the airbags deploy (inflate).

Before driving
CAUTION
■
When installing a child restraint system
●After securing the child restraint system, never slide or recline the seat.
■ When installing a child restraint system (vehicles with bench type sec-
ond seat)
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury to the child or other pas-
sengers in the event of a sudden stop or accident.
●When installing the child restraint system onto the center second seat,
secure it so as not interfere with the front console box.
● Do not change the posture and position of the outside second seat once
the child restraint system has been secured to the center second seat.
■ Do not use a seat belt extender
If a seat belt extender is used when installing a child restraint system, the
seat belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause
death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in the event of a colli-
sion.
■ To correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchorages
When using the lower anchorages, be sure that there are no foreign objects
around the anchorages and that the seat belt is not caught behind the child
restraint. Make sure the child restraint system is securely attached, or it may
cause death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in the event of
a sudden stop or accident.

Headphones
With some headphones generally available in the market, sound quality may
be poor. Toyota recommends the use of Toyota genuine wireless head-
phones.
Please contact your Toyota dealer for further details.
■ Vo l u m e
●Adjust the volume when you connect the headphones to the jack. Loud
sounds may have a significant impact on the human body.
● Conversational speech on some DVDs is recorded at a low volume to
emphasize the impact of sound effects. If you adjust the volume assum-
ing that the conversations represent the maximum volume level that the
DVD will play, you may be startled by louder sound effects or when you
change to a different audio source. Be sure to adjust the volume with this
in mind.
CAUTION
■While driving
Do not use headphones.
Doing so may cause an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
■ When the rear seat entert ainment system is not used
Keep the display closed.
In the event of an accident or sudden braking, the opened display may hit an
occupant's body, resulting in injury.
■ To prevent accidents and electric shock
Do not disassemble or modify the remote controller.
■ When the remote controller is not used
Stow the remote controller.
Injuries may result in the event of an accident or sudden braking.
■ Removed batteries and other parts
Keep away from children.
These parts are small and if swallowed by a child they can cause choking.
