CAUTION
■Front passenger occupant cl assification system precautions
Observe the following precautions regarding front passenger occupant clas-
sification system.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
● Wear the seat belt properly.
● Make sure the front passenger’s seat belt tab has not been left inserted
into the buckle before someone sits in the front passenger seat.
● Make sure the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is not illuminated when using
the seat belt extender for the right front passenger seat. If the AIR BAG
OFF indicator light is illuminated, disconnect the extender tongue from the
seat belt buckle, then reconnect the seat belt. Reconnect the seat belt
extender after making sure the AIR BAG ON indicator light is illuminated. If
you use the seat belt extender while the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is
illuminated, the front passenger airbag, front passenger knee airbag and
side airbag on the right front passenger side airbag may not activate cor-
rectly, which could cause death or serious injury in the event of collision.

CAUTION
■
Front passenger occupant cl assification system precautions
● Do not apply a heavy load to the front passenger seat or equipment (e.g.
seatback pocket).
● Do not apply pressure to the right front passenger seat by resting hands or
legs on the seatback.
● Double Cab and CrewMax models: Do not put weight on the front passen-
ger seat by putting your hands or feet on the front passenger seat seat-
back from the rear passenger seat.
● Double Cab and CrewMax models: Do not let a rear passenger lift the
front passenger seat with their feet or press on the seatback with their
legs.
● Do not put objects under the front passenger seat.
● Do not recline the front passenger seatback so far that it touches a rear
seat or a back wall. This may cause the AIR BAG OFF indicator light to be
illuminated, which indicates that the passenger’s airbags will not deploy in
the event of a severe accident. If the seatback touches the rear seat or
back wall, return the seatback to a position where it does not touch the
rear seat or back wall. Keep the front passenger seatback as upright as
possible when the vehicle is moving. Reclining the seatback excessively
may lessen the effectiveness of the seat belt system.
● If an adult sits in the right front passenger seat, the AIR BAG ON indicator
light is illuminated. If the AIR BAG OFF indicator is illuminated, ask the
passenger to sit up straight, well back in the seat, feet on the floor, and
with the seat belt worn correctly. If the AIR BAG OFF indicator still remains
illuminated, either ask the passenger to move to the rear seat, or if that is
not possible, move the right front passenger seat fully rearward.
● When it is unavoidable to install the forward-facing child restraint system
on the front passenger seat, install the child restraint system on the front
passenger seat in the proper order. ( P. 149)
● Do not modify or remove the front seats.
● Do not kick the front passenger seat or subject it to severe impact. Other-
wise, the SRS warning light may come on to indicate a malfunction of the
detection system. In this case, contact your Toyota dealer immediately.

CAUTION
■
Child restraint precautions
●For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child
must be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system
depending on the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is
not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be
crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle’s interior.
● Regular Cab models: Toyota strongly urges use of a proper child restraint
system which conforms to the size of the child.
● Double Cab and CrewMax models: Toyota strongly urges the use of a
proper child restraint system that conforms to the size of the child, installed
on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
● Regular Cab models: Never put infant or child age 1 to 12 in a passenger
risk group on the right passenger seat with the passenger airbag off switch
in the AUTO position. In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid
inflation of the front passenger airbag can cause death or serious injury to
the child. If you must put infant or child age 1 to 12 in a passenger risk
group on the right passenger seat, make sure that the passenger airbag
off switch is in the OFF position with the key removed and that the indica-
tor light is on. ( P. 132)
● Double Cab and CrewMax models: Ne ver install a rear-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger seat even if the AIR BAG OFF
indicator light is illuminated. In the event of an accident, the force of the
rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag can cause death or serious
injury to the child if the rear-facing child restraint system is installed on the
front passenger seat.

146 1-7. Safety information
CAUTION
■Child restraint precautions
●Regular Cab models (Bench type seat): Never install a rear-facing child
restraint system on the center seat even if the passenger airbag off switch
is in the OFF position. In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid
inflation of the driver airbag could cause death or serious injury to the
child.
● Double Cab and CrewMax models: A forward-facing child restraint system
may be installed on the front passenger seat only when it is unavoidable.
A child restraint system that requires a top tether strap should not be used
in the front passenger seat since there is no top tether strap anchor for the
front passenger seat. Adjust the seatback as upright as possible and
always move the seat as far back as possible even if the AIR BAG OFF
indicator light is illuminated, because the front passenger airbag could
inflate with considerable speed and force. Otherwise, the child may be
killed or seriously injured.
●Regular Cab models: Never install a
rear-facing child restraint system on the
right passenger seat with the passen-
ger airbag off switch in the AUTO posi-
tion. In the event of an accident, the
force of the rapid inflation of the front
passenger airbag can cause death or
serious injury to the child if the rear-fac-
ing child restraint system is installed on
the right passenger seat.
● Regular Cab models: If you must install
a rear-facing child restraint system on
the right passenger seat, make sure
that the passenger airbag off switch is
in the OFF position with the key
removed and that the indicator light is
on.

1-7. Safety information

Before driving
Installing the child restraint system on the right passenger seat
(Regular Cab models)
When you install a child restraint system which belongs to a passen-
ger risk group on the right passenger seat, do the following proce-
dure.
Turn the passenger airbag off
switch counterclockwise to the
OFF position and remove the
key.
The AIR BAG OFF indicator light
comes on when the front passen-
ger airbag system is off.
(P. 132)
CAUTION
■ Rear-facing child restraint system
If you must install a rear-facing child restraint system on the right passenger
seat, make sure that the passenger airbag off switch is in the OFF position
with the key removed and that the indicator light is on.
■ Forward-facing child restraint system
A forward-facing child restraint system which belongs to a passenger risk
group should never be installed on the right passenger seat with the passen-
ger airbag off switch in the AUTO position, because the force of the deploy-
ing airbag could cause death or serious injury to the child in forward seating
position. ( P. 133)
