1-7. Safety information CAUTION n Child restraint precautions l Access Cab models: Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat with the passenger airbag off switch in the AUTO position. In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child if the rear-facing child restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat. l Access Cab models: If you must install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat, make sure that the passenger airbag off switch is in the OFF position with the key removed and that the indicator light is on. l Double Cab models: A forward-facing child restraint system may be installed on the front passenger seat only when it is unavoidable. A child restraint system that requires a top tether strap should not be used in the front passenger seat since there is no top tether strap anchor for the front passenger seat. Adjust the seatback as upright as possible and always move the seat as far back as possible even if AIR BAG OFF indicator light is illuminated, because the front passenger airbag could inflate with considerable speed and force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously injured. l Access Cab models: A forward-facing child restraint system which belongs to a passenger risk group should never be installed on the front passenger seat with the passenger airbag off switch in the AUTO position, because the force of the deploying airbag could cause death or serious injury to the child in forward seating position. (→P. 96) l Bench type front seat: Do not install a child restraint system on the center seat if it interferes with driving operations such as gear shifting. In this case, install the child restraint system on the right passenger seat. 1 Before driving 109
