'01 Tacoma U (L/O 0009) Armrest For your safety and comfort, adjust the head restraint before driving. To raise: Pull it up. To lower: Push it down while pressing the lock release button. On some models, you can also move the head restraint forward or backward. If such adjustment is desired, pull or push the head restraint. The head restraint is most effective when it is close to your head. Therefore, using a cushion on the seatback is not recommended. To use the armrest, do this. Seat belts- -Seat belt precautions Toyota strongly urges that the driver and passengers in the vehicle be properly restrained at all times with the seat belts provided. Failure to do so could increase the chance of injury and/or the severity of injury in accidents. Child. Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat belts. See "Child restraint" for details. REGULAR CAB MODELS- If a child is too large for a child restraint system, the child should sit in the seat and must be restrained using the vehicle's seat belt. XTRA-CAB and DOUBLE CAB MODELS- 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. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. If a child must sit in the front seat, the seat belts should be worn properly. If an accident occurs and the seat belts are not worn properly, the force of the rapid inflation of the airbag may cause death or serious injury to the child. CAUTION D Adjust the center of the head restraint so that it is closest to the top of your ears. To lower: Pull the lock release strap and down the armrest. To raise: Push down the lock release knob and up the armrest. D After adjusting the head restraint, make sure it is locked in position. NOTICE To prevent damage to the armrest, avoid putting heavy loads on it. D Do not drive with the head restraints removed. 2001 TACOMA (OM35766U) 29
