'07 HIGHLANDER HV_U (L/O 0608) Child restraint- -Child restraint precautions D Do not let a rear passenger lift the front passenger seat with their feet or press on the seatback with their legs. The "AIRBAG ON" indicator light may be illuminated (the front passenger airbag and side airbag on the front passenger seat may deploy) even if observing the above cautions, when a child sits in, or a forward−facing child restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat. Refer to all the cautions in "SRS airbags" on page 80 and "Child restraint" on page 101 in this Section. Toyota strongly urges the use of appropriate child restraint systems for children. The laws of all 50 states in the U.S.A. and Canada now require the use of a child restraint system. Your vehicle conforms to SAEJ1819. 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 68 in this Section for details. D Do not put objects under the front passenger seat. D Child restraint systems installed on the second seat should not contact the front seatbacks. D When it is unavoidable to install the forward−facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat, install the child restraint system on the front passenger seat in the proper order. (As for the installation order, see "-Installation with seat belt" on page 104 in this Section.) CAUTION D For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a 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. D Do not remove the front seats. D Do not kick the front passenger seat or subject it to severe impact. Otherwise, the SRS warning light may come on to indicate a malfunction of the detection system. In this case, contact your Toyota dealer immediately. 101 2007 HIGHLANDER HV from July '06 Prod. (OM48685U)
