smaller adult sits in the front pa ssenger seat, the system may rec-
ognize him/her as a child dependi ng on his/her physique and pos-
ture.
*2:In the event the front passenge r does not wear a seat belt.

death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer
immediately if this occurs.

dealer.
