D Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or seriously injured by a deploying airbag. An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint system. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seat of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seat is the safest for infants and children. For instructions concerning the installation of a child restraint system, see "Child restraint" in this chapter. D Do not lean against the front door when the vehicle is in use. The side airbag inflates with considerable speed and force; you may be killed or seriously injured. D Do not attach a cup holder or any other device on or around the door. When the side airbag inflates, the cup holder or any other device will be thrown with great force or the side airbag may not activate correctly, resulting in death or serious injury. Likewise, the driver and front passenger should not hold things in their arms or on their knees. D Do not allow the child to lean against the front door or around the front door even if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the side airbag inflates and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child. For instructors concerning the installation of a child restraint system, see "Child restraint" in this chapter. D Do not apply excessive weight to the outer side of the front seats on vehicles with side airbags. D The child head should not be leaned against the vicinity of the part where the side airbag activates. 51
