'03 Tacoma U (L/O 0209) -Types of child restraint system Vehicles without passenger manual on-off switch- airbag When not using the child restraint system, keep it secured with the seat belt or place it somewhere other than the passenger compartment. This will prevent it from injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop or accident. Your vehicle has anchors for securing the top strap of a child restraint system. Child restraint systems are classified into the following 3 types depending on the child's age and size. (A) Infant seat (B) Convertible seat (C) Booster seat Install the child restraint system following the instructions provided by its manufacturer. For instructions on how to use the anchor bracket, see "-Using a top strap" in this section. The child restraint lower anchorages approved for your vehicle may also be used. See "-Installation with child restraint lower anchorages" in this section. D Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front seat. In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the airbag can cause death or serious injury if a rear-facing child restraint system is installed on the front seat. D Unless it is unavoidable, do not install a forward-facing child restraint system on the front seat. D A forward-facing child restraint system should be allowed to be installed on the front passenger seat only when it is unavoidable. Always move the seat as far back as possible, because the force of the deploying front passenger airbag could cause death or serious injury to the child. D After installing the child restraint system, make sure it is secured in place according to the manufacturer's instructions. If it is not restrained securely, it may cause death or serious injury to the child in the event of a sudden stop or accident. 2003 MY TACOMA (OM35800U) 59
