WARNING
●Do not sit or lean unnecessarily
close to the SRS airbag.
Because the SRS airbag
deploys with considerable
speed and force to protect in
high speed collisions, the force
of an airbag can injure an occu-
pant whose body is too close to
SRS airbag.
It is also important to wear seat-
belts to help avoid injuries that
can result when the SRS airbag
contacts an occupant not in
their proper position.
Even when properly positioned,
there remains a possibility that
an occupant may suffer minor
injury, such as abrasions and
bruises to the face or arms,
because of the SRS airbag
deployment force.
●Keep arms away from either
door or its internal trim. They
could be injured in the event of
SRS side airbag deployment.
●Do not place any objects over or
near the SRS airbag cover or
between you and the SRS air-
bag. If the SRS airbag deploys,
these objects could interfere
with its proper operation and
could be propelled inside the
vehicle, causing injury.
■If the SRS airbag deploys
●When the SRS airbag deploys,
some smoke will be released.
This smoke could cause breath-
ing problems for people with a
history of asthma or other
breathing trouble. If you or your
passengers have breathing
problems after SRS airbag
deploys, get fresh air promptly.
●A deploying SRS airbag
releases hot gas. Occupants
could get burned if they come
into direct contact with the hot
gas.
■General Precautions regard-
ing SRS Airbag System for
Accessories and Any Objects
●Do not put any objects (includ-
ing straps or cord) over the
steering wheel pad, column
cover, or dashboard.
• These objects could be entan- gled with the steering wheel,
preventing the SRS frontal air-
bag, etc. from operating prop-
erly.
• If the SRS frontal airbag deploys, these objects could be
propelled inside the vehicle,
causing injury.

WARNING
●Do not put any objects under
the driver’s side of the instru-
ment panel. If the SRS knee air-
bag deploys, those objects
could interfere with its proper
operation and could be pro-
pelled inside the vehicle, caus-
ing injury.
●Do not attach accessories to the
windshield, or fit an extra-wide
mirror over the inside rear view
mirror. If the SRS airbag
deploys, those objects could
become projectile s that could
seriously injure vehicle occu-
pants.
●Do not attach accessories to the
door trim or near either SRS
side airbags and do not place
objects near the SRS side air-
bags. In the event of SRS side
airbag deployment, they could
be propelled dangerously
toward the vehicle’s occupants
and cause injuries.
●Do not attach a hands-free
microphone or any other acces-
sory to a front pillar, a center pil-
lar, a rear pillar, the windshield,
a side window, or any other
cabin surface that would be
near a deploying SRS curtain
shield airbag. A hands-free
microphone or other accessory
in such a location could be pro-
pelled through the cabin with
great force by the curtain shield
airbag, or it could prevent cor-
rect deployment o f the curtain
shield airbag. In either case, the
result could be serious injuries.
●Do not put any kind of clothes or
other objects over the front
seatback and do not attach
labels or stickers to the front
seat surface on or near the SRS
side airbag. They could prevent
proper deployment of the SRS
side airbag, reducing protection
available to th e front seat’s
occupant.
●Do not install a seat cover
unless it is a genuine Toyota
seat cover exclusively designed
for use with the SRS airbag.
Even when using a genuine
Toyota seat cover, the SRS side
airbag system may not function
normally if the seat cover is not
installed correctly.

WARNING
■General Precautions regard-
ing SRS Airbag System and
Children
●Place children in the rear seat
properly restrained at all times.
The SRS airbag deploys with
considerable speed and force
and can injure or even kill chil-
dren, especially if they are not
restrained or improperly
restrained. Because children
are lighter and weaker than
adults, their risk of being injured
from deployment is greater.
For that reason, we strongly
recommend that ALL children
(including those in child restraint
systems) sit in the REAR seat
properly restrained at all times
in a child restraint device or in a
seatbelt, whichever is appropri-
ate for the child’s age, height
and weight.
Secure ALL types of child
restraint systems (including for-
ward facing child restraint sys-
tem) in the REAR seats at all
times.
According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating
positions than in the front seat-
ing positions.
For instructions and precautions
concerning the child restraint
system, refer to P.64.
●NEVER INSTALL A CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM IN THE
FRONT SEAT. DOING SO
RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH TO THE CHILD BY
PLACING THE CHILD’S HEAD
TOO CLOSE TO THE SRS
AIRBAG.
●Never allow a child to stand up
or kneel on the front passen-
ger’s seat. The SRS airbag
deploys with considerable force
and can injure o r even kill the
child.
●Never hold a child on your lap or
in your arms. The SRS airbag
deploys with considerable force
and can injure o r even kill the
child.
●Never allow a child to do the fol-
lowing.
• Kneel on any passenger’s seat facing the side window

WARNING
• Installation of additional electri-cal/electronic equipment such
as a mobile two-way radio on or
near the SRS airbag system
components and/or wiring is not
advisable. This could interfere
with proper operation of the
SRS airbag system.
• Modifications on or inside the door panels for the purpose of a
speaker replacement or sound
insulation
●The impact sensors, which
detect the pressure of an
impact, are located in the doors.
Do not modify any components
of the doors or d oor trims, such
as the addition of door speakers
for example. Any modifications
to the doors will create a risk of
the airbag system becoming
inoperative or unintended air-
bag deployment.
●Do not perform any of the fol-
lowing modifications. Such
modifications can interfere with
proper operation of the SRS air-
bag system.
• Attachment of any equipment (bush bar, winches, snow plow,
skid plate, etc.) other than genu-
ine Toyota accessory parts to
the front end.
• Modification of the suspension system or front end structure.
• Installation of a tire of different size and construc tion from the
tires specified on the vehicle
placard attached to the driver’s
center pillar or specified for indi-
vidual vehicle models in this
Owner’s Manual.
• Attachment of any equipment (side steps or side sill protec-
tors, etc.) other than genuine
Toyota accessory parts to the
side body.
Always consult your Toyota dealer
if you want to install any acces-
sory parts on your vehicle.

WARNING
■When using a child restraint
system
NEVER INSTALL A CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM IN THE
FRONT PASSENGER’S SEAT
EVEN IF THE FRONT PASSEN-
GER’S SRS FRONTAL AIRBAG
IS DEACTIVATED. Be sure to
install it in the REAR seat in a cor-
rect manner. Also, it is strongly
recommended that any forward
facing child seat or booster seat
be installed in the REAR seat, and
that even children who have out-
grown a child restraint system be
