2012 TOYOTA TUNDRA child seat

164 1-7. Safety information
CAUTION
■When installing a child restraint system
●CrewMax models: When using the LATCH anchors for a child restraint
system, move the seat as far back as possible and adjust the seatback as
upright as possible.
● 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 sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
● Ensure that the belt and tab are securely locked and the seat belt is not
twisted.
● Push and pull the child seat from side to side and forward to be sure it is
secure.
●Regular Cab models (bench type seat):
In order to firmly secure the child
restraint system, align the seatback
angle and seat position of the right pas-
senger seat to match the center pas-
senger seat. Otherwise, it could cause
death or injury in an accident.

Same position
● CrewMax models: When installing a
child restraint system in the rear center
seat, adjust both seat cushions to the
same position and align seatbacks at
the same angle. Otherwise, the child
restraint system cannot be securely
restrained and this may cause death or
serious injuries in the event of sudden
braking, sudden swerving or an acci-
dent.

Before driving
CAUTION
■
When installing a child restraint system
●After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.
● Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
● After securing the child restraint system, never slide or recline the 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 sud-
den braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
■ To correctly attach a child restrain t system to the anchors (Double Cab
and CrewMax models)
When using the LATCH anchors, be sure that there are no foreign objects
around the anchors 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, sudden swerve 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
Conversational speech on some DVDs is recorded at a low volume to
emphasize the impact of sound effects. If you adjust the volume assuming
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.
