SRS airbag deployment condi tions (SRS front airbags)
● The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact tha t exceeds the
set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approximately 12 -
18 mph [20 - 30 km/h] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or
deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher in the following
situations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole,
which can move or deform on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an underride collision, such as a collision in
which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a
truck
● The SRS front airbags for the front passenger will not activate if there is no
passenger sitting in the front passenger seat. However, the SRS front air-
bags for the front passenger may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, even if
the seat is unoccupied.
■ SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield a irbags)
● The SRS side and curtain shield airbags will deploy in the even t of an
impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding
to the impact force produced by an approximately 3300 lb. [1500 kg] vehicle
colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle
orientation at an approximate speed of 12 - 18 mph [20 - 30 km/ h]).
● Both SRS curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of veh icle rollover.
● Both SRS curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of a s evere frontal
collision.

SEQUOIA_OM_USA_OM0C013U_19MY■
Conditions under which the SRS ai rbags may deploy (inflate), other than
a collision
The SRS front airbags, SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy if a seri-
ous impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some exampl es are
shown in the illustration.
The SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy under the situat ions shown
in the illustration.
■ Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS fr ont air-
bags)
The SRS front airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle i s involved in a
side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed frontal
collision. But, whenever a collision of any type causes suffici ent forward
deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front airbag s may occur.
●
Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard
surface
● Falling into or jumping over a deep hole
● Landing hard or falling
● The angle of vehicle tip-up is marginal.
● The vehicle skids and hits a curb stone.
● Collision from the side
● Collision from the rear
● Vehicle rollover

Front passenger occupant classification
system
Your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger occupant classi -
fication system. This system det ects the conditions of the front
passenger seat and activates or deactivates the front passenger
airbag, front passenger knee airbag in the front passenger side ,
and front passenger’s seat belt pretensioner.

Operation of each component
SEQUOIA_OM_USA_OM0C013U_19MY
■Panic mode
■ When required to leave the vehicle’s key with a parking attendant
Lock the glove box as circumstances demand. ( P. 340)
Carry the master key for your own use and provide the attendant with the
valet key.
■ If you lose your keys
New genuine keys can be made by your Toyota dealer using the ot her key
and the key number stamped on your key number plate. Keep the p late in a
safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle.
■ When riding in an aircraft
When bringing a key with wireless remote control function onto an aircraft,
make sure you do not press any buttons on the key while inside the aircraft
cabin. If you are carrying the key in your bag, etc., ensure th at the buttons are
not likely to be pressed accidentally. Pressing a button may cause the key to
emit radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the aircraft.
■ Conditions affecting operation
The wireless remote control function may not operate normally i n the follow-
ing situations:
● Near a TV tower, radio station, electric power plant, airport o r other facility
that generates strong radio waves
● When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone or other wireles s communi-
cation devices
● When multiple wireless keys are in the vicinity
● When the wireless key is in contact with, or is covered by, a m etallic object
● When a wireless key (that emits radio waves) is being used near by
● When the wireless key has been left near an electrical applianc e such as a
personal computer
■ Key battery depletion
If the wireless remote control function does not operate, the b attery may be
depleted. Replace the battery when necessary. ( P. 424)
When is pressed for longer than about
one second, an alarm will sound intermit-
tently and the vehicle lights will flash to
deter any person from trying to break into
or damage your vehicle.
To stop the alarm, press any button on the
wireless remote control.

If a height control system is installed in your vehicle, you have to con-
nect and disconnect your trailer more carefully.
● Connecting
Set the height control of electronically modulated air suspensi on
system to “N” mode.
Turn off the engine, or set the electronically modulated air su spen-
sion system to manual mode. ( P. 290)
Connect the trailer.
Turn the engine switch to the “START” position and start the
engine.
Press the height control mode select switch to cancel the manua l
mode condition that was set on step .
Check that the “OFF” i ndicator turns off.
Set the height control of electronically modulated air suspensi on
system to “N” mode.
● Disconnecting
Set the height control of electronically modulated air suspensi on
system to “N” mode.
Set the electronically modulat ed air suspension system to manua l
mode.
Turn off the engine.
Set the supporting leg of the trailer on the ground and raise t he
hitch by 4 in. (100 mm).
Turn the engine switch to the “START” position and start the
engine.
Press the height control mode select switch to cancel the manua l
mode condition that was set on step .
Check that the “OFF” i ndicator turns off.
Wait until vehicle h eight is stabilized.
Make sure the hitch is disconnected. If the hitch does not disc on-
nect, raise the hitch higher and repeat steps through .
Move the vehicle forward in “LO” mode where the hitch does not touch
anything in “N” mode.
Set the height control of electronically modulated air suspensi on system to
“N” mode.

1904-1. Before driving
SEQUOIA_OM_USA_OM0C013U_19MY
●Avoid jerky starts or sudden acceleration.
● Avoid jerky steering and sharp turns, and slow down before maki ng
turns.
● Note that when making a turn, the trailer wheels will be closer than
the vehicle wheels to the inside of the turn. Compensate by mak ing
a wider than normal turning radius.
● Slow down before making a turn, in cross winds, on wet or slipp ery
surfaces, etc.
Increasing vehicle speed can destabilize the trailer.
● Take care when passing other vehicles. Passing requires consider-
able distance. After passing a vehicle, do not forget the lengt h of
your trailer, and be sure you have plenty of room before changi ng
lanes.
● To maintain engine braking efficiency and charging system perfo r-
mance when using engine braking, do not put the transmission in
D.
● Instability happens more frequently when descending steep or lo ng
downhill grades. Before descending, slow down and downshift. Do
not make sudden downshifts while descending steep or long down-
hill grades.
● Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or applying the bra kes
too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat and result in
reduced braking efficiency.
● Due to the added load of the trailer, your vehicle’s engine may over-
heat on hot days (at temperatures over 85 °F [30 °C]) when driv ing
up a long or steep grade. If the engine coolant temperature gau ge
indicates overheating, immediately turn off the air conditionin g (if in
use), pull your vehicle off the road and stop in a safe spot.
