1361-7. Safety information
WARNING■ Front passenger occupant classification system precautions
● Never install a rearward facing child seat in the front passeng er’s seat
even if the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is deactivated . Be sure to
install it in the rear seat in a correct manner. Also, it is st rongly recom-
mended that any forward facing child seat or booster seat be in stalled in
the rear seat, and that even children who have outgrown a child restraint
system be also seated in the rear seat. This is because childre n sitting in
the front passenger’s seat may be killed or severely injured should the
front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag deploy. Toyota believes th at the rear
seats are the safest place for children
● If luggage or electronic devices are placed on the front passen ger seat,
the OFF indicator may turn off and the ON indicator may illumin ate. If this
occurs, the front passenger’s airbag may deploy during a collision. If this is
not desirable, remove the luggage or electronic devices from th e front pas-
senger seat.
● Modifications for persons with disabilities that may affect the front passen-
ger occupant classification system. (U.S. only) Removing, repla cing or
modifying any parts of the front seats, seat belts, front bumpe r, front side
frame, instrument panel, combination meter, steering wheel, ste ering col-
umn, tires, suspension or floor panel can affect the operation of the Toyota
