AVERTISSEMENT
●Le déploiement d’un coussin
gonflable risque d’infliger des
blessures graves, voire mor-
telles, aux bébés et aux enfants
mal assis et/ou mal attachés.
Un bébé ou un enfant trop petit
pour utiliser une ceinture de
sécurité doit être correctement
retenu à l’aide d’un dispositif de
retenue pour enfants. Toyota
recommande vivement de
placer et d’attacher correcte-
ment tous les bébés et tous les
enfants sur les sièges arrière du
véhicule à l’aide de dispositifs
de retenue adaptés. Les sièges
arrière sont plus sécuritaires
pour les bébés et les enfants
que le siège du passager avant.
●N’installez jamais un dispositif
de retenue pour enfants de type
dos à la route sur le siège du
passager avant, même si le
voyant “PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF” est allumé. En cas d’acci-
dent, la force et la vitesse de
déploiement du coussin gon-
flable du passager avant pour-
raient infliger à l’enfant des
blessures graves, voire mor-
telles, si le dispositif de retenue
pour enfants de type dos à la
route était installé sur le siège
du passager avant.
●Ne vous asseyez pas sur le
bord du siège et ne vous
appuyez pas sur la planche de
bord.
●Ne laissez pas un enfant se
tenir face au coussin
gonflable SRS du passager
avant ni s’asseoir sur les
genoux d’un passager avant.
●Les occupants des sièges avant
ne doivent jamais placer
d’objets sur leurs genoux.
●Ne vous appuyez pas sur la
portière ou sur un brancard de
pavillon, ni sur un montant
avant, latéral ou arrière.
●Ne laissez personne s’age-
nouiller face à la portière, ni sor-
tir la tête ou les mains à
l’extérieur du véhicule.
