CAUTION
■
When installing a booster seat
Do not fully extend the shoulder belt to prevent the belt from going to ALR
lock mode. ( P. 81)
ALR mode causes the belt to tighten only which could cause injury or dis-
comfort to the child.
■ 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, sudden swerving or an accident.
●Double Cab and CrewMax models: 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.
● Double Cab and CrewMax models:
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 it is
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 the AIR BAG
OFF indicator light is illuminated. Fail-
ing to do so may result in death or seri-
ous injury if the airbags deploy (inflate).
