Recommendations
The legislation on carrying a child on the front passenger seat is specific to each country. Refer to the legislation in force in the country in which you are driving.Deactivate the passenger front airbag when a rear ward facing child seat is installed on the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the child would risk being seriously injured or killed if the airbag were deployed.
For optimum installation of the forward facing child seat, ensure that the back of the child seat is as close as possible to the backrest of the vehicle's seat, or in contact if possible.The head restraint must be removed before installing a child seat with a backrest on the passenger seat.Ensure that the head restraint is stowed or attached securely so that it is not thrown around the vehicle in the event of sharp braking.Refit the head restraint as soon as the child seat is removed.
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises the child's protection in the event of an accident.Check that there is no seat belt or seat belt buckle under the child seat as this could destabilise it.Remember to fasten the seat belts or the child seat harnesses keeping the slack in relation to the child's body to a minimum, even for short journeys.For the installation of a child seat using a seat belt, ensure that this is well tensioned on the child seat and that it is holding the child seat firmly against the seat of your vehicle. If your front passenger seat is adjustable, move it for ward if necessary.At the rear seats, always leave sufficient space between the front seat and:- a rear ward facing child seat,- the feet of a child seated in a for ward facing child seat.For this, move the front seat for ward and if necessary straighten its backrest.
Children at the front
The chest part of the seat belt must be positioned on the child's shoulder without touching the neck.Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt passes correctly over the child's thighs.Toyota recommends the use of a booster seat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:- one or more children alone and unsupervised in a vehicle,- a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with the windows closed,- the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.To prevent accidental opening of the doors, use the child lock.Take care not to open the rear windows by more than one third.To protect young children from the rays of the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
