01_SEQUOIA_U (L/O 0009) Child restraint- -Child restraint precautions In the following cases, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible: Toyota strongly urges the use of child restraint systems for children small enough to use them. The laws of all fifty states in the U.S.A. and Canada now require the use of a child restraint system. Your vehicle conforms to SAE J1819. If a child is too large for a child restraint system, the child should sit in the rear seat and must be restrained using the vehicle's seat belt. See "Seat belts" on page 55 in this section for details. D The SRS side and curtain shield airbags have been inflated. D The portion of the doors (shaded in the illustration) was involved in an accident that did not cause the SRS side and curtain shield airbags to inflate. D The surface of the seats with the side airbag (shaded in the illustration) is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged. D The portion of the front pillar garnish (padding) containing the curtain shield airbags inside (shaded in the illustration) is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged. CAUTION D For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, child must be properly restrained using a seat belt or child restraint system depending on the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle's interior. NOTICE Do not disconnect the battery cables before contacting your Toyota dealer. 82 2001 SEQUOIA (OM34414U)
