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 a sudden
braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
Double-cab models: If the driver’s seat
interferes with the child restraint system
and prevents it from being attached cor-
rectly, attach the child restraint system
to the right-hand rear seat (left-hand
drive vehicles) or the left-hand rear seat
(right-hand drive vehicles).
Double-cab models: Adjust the front
passenger seat so that it does not inter-
fere with the child restraint system.

142 1-7. Safety information
HILUX_EE (OM0K132E)
CAUTION
When installing a child restraint system
Only put a forward-facing child restraint
system on the front seat when unavoid-
able. When installing a forward-facing
child restraint on the front passenger
seat, move the seat as far back as pos-
sible (if equipped).
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury if the airbags deploy
(inflate).
Never use a rear-facing child restraint
system on the front passenger seat.
The force of the rapid inflation of the
front passenger airbag can cause death
or serious injury to children in the event
of a sudden braking, sudden swerving
or an accident.

CAUTION
When installing a child restraint system
Vehicles with front bench seat: Do not
install a child restraint system in the
center position. This seat position is not
designed to hold a child restraint sys-
tem.
If used in the center position, depend-
ing on its type, the child restraint sys-
tem may interfere with the proper
usage of the driver’s and front passen-
ger’s seat belts. It may also hamper
your driving.
Extra-cab models: Do not install a child
restraint system on the rear seat.
These seats are not designed to hold a
child restraint system.
Double-cab models: Do not install a
rear-facing child (convertible) seat in
the rear center position. This seat posi-
tion is not designed to hold a rear-fac-
ing child (convertible) seat. Otherwise,
the child or front seat occupant(s) may
be killed or seriously injured in the
event of sudden braking, sudden
swerving or an accident.

CAUTION
When installing a child restraint system
If child restraint system regulations exist in the country where you reside,
please contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional for the child restraint system installa-
tion.
When a junior 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 a sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
Ensure that the belt and plate are securely locked and the seat belt is not
twisted.
Push and pull the child restraint system from side to side and forward to be
sure it is secure.
After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.
Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
