Before driving
Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed based
on US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The airbag sys
-
tem controls airbag deployment power for the driver and front p as-
senger. The front passenger's air bag system consists of the front
passenger occupant detec tion control module etc.
The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The
SRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag control module. T he
airbag control module cons ists of an airbag sensor.
In certain types of severe front or side impacts, the SRS airba g sys-
tem triggers the airbag inflators. A chemical reaction in the inflators
quickly fills the airbags with non- toxic gas to help restrain t he motion
of the occupants.

■
If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
●Slight abrasions, burns, bruisi ng etc., may be sustained from S RS air-
bags, due to the extremely high speed deployment (inflation) by hot
gases.
● A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.
● Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover an d inflator)
as well as the front seats, parts of the front and rear pillars , and roof side
rails, may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may al so be hot.
● The windshield may crack.

108 1-7. Safety information
■Examples of the types of accidents in which the driver’s/driver ’s and
front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag(s) will basically not deploy
The driver’s and front passenger’s SRS
frontal airbags are designed not to deploy
in most cases if the vehicle is struck from
the side or from behind, or if it rolls onto
its side or roof, or if it is involved in a low-
speed frontal collision.
First impact
Second impact
In an accident where the vehicle is
impacted more than once, the driver’s
and/or front passenger’s SRS frontal air-
bag(s) will deploy only once on the first
impact.
Example: In the case of a double colli-
sion, first with another vehicle, then
against a concrete wall in immediate suc-
cession, once either or both of the driver’s
and front passenger’s SRS frontal air-
bags is/are activated on the first impact,
it/they will not be activated on the second
impact.

110 1-7. Safety information
SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag
The SRS side airbag is stored in the door side of each front se at
seatback, which bears an “SRS AIRBAG” label.
In a moderate to severe side im pact collision, the SRS side airbag on
the impacted side of the vehicle deploys between the occupant and
the door panel and supplements t he seat belt by reducing the impact
on the occupant’s chest and waist. The SRS side airbag operates
only for front seat occupants.
The SRS curtain shield airbag on each side of the cabin is stor ed in
the roof side (between the front pillar and a point over the rear seat).
An “SRS AIRBAG” mark is located at the top of each front and rear
pillar.
In a moderate to severe side impact collision, the SRS curtain shield
airbag on the impacted side of the vehicle deploys between the occu-
pant and the side window and supplements the seat belt by reduc ing
the impact on the occupant’s head.

■
Example of the type of accident in which the SRS side airbag an d SRS
curtain shield airbag will most likely deploy
■ Examples of the types of accidents in which the SRS curtain shi eld air-
bag will most likely deploy
A severe side impact near the front seat
activates the SRS side airbag and SRS
curtain shield airbag.
The vehicle rolls onto its side or the roof.
The side of the vehicle raises above a
certain threshold or the vehicle skids and
its tires hit a curbstone laterally.

Before driving
■
Examples of the types of accidents in which the SRS side airbag is
unlikely to deploy
There are many types of collisions which might not necessarily require SRS
side airbag deployment. In the event of an accident like those illustrated, the
SRS side airbag may not deploy depending on the level of accide nt force
involved.
The vehicle strikes a telephone pole or
similar object.
The vehicle is involved in a side-on
impact from a motorcycle.
The vehicle rolls onto its side or roof.

118 1-7. Safety information
WARNING
■If the SRS airbags deploy
Do not touch the SRS side airbag system components around the f ront seat
seatback with bare hands right after deployment. Doing so can c ause burns
because the components can be very hot as a result of deployment.
After deployment, do not touch any part of the SRS curtain shie ld airbag sys-
tem (from the front pillar to the part of the roof side over th e rear seat). Doing
so can cause burns because the components can be very hot as a result of
deployment.
■ SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag precautions
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag are designed only to be
a supplement to the primary protection provided by the seat belt. They do
not do away with the need to fasten seat belts. It is also impo rtant to wear
your seat belt to help avoid injuries that can result when an occupant is not
seated in a proper upright position.

120 1-7. Safety information
WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions regarding the SRS airbags.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
●The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their se at belts
properly.
The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts.
● The portion of the front pillars, rear pil-
lars or roof side rail garnishes (padding)
containing the curtain shield airbags
inside is scratched, cracked or other-
wise damaged.

122 1-7. Safety information
WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
●Do not sit on the edge of the seat or
lean against the dashboard.
● Do not allow a child to stand in front of
the SRS front passenger airbag unit or
sit on the knees of a front passenger.
● Do not allow the front seat occupants to
hold items on their knees.
● Do not lean against the door, the roof
side rail or the front, side and rear pil-
lars.

WARNING
■
SRS airbag precautions
●Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side
airbags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the air bags. Such
accessories may prevent the side airbags from activating correc tly, disable
the system or cause the side airbags to inflate accidentally, r esulting in
death or serious injury.
● Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS air-
bag components ( P. 94).
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.
● Do not allow anyone to kneel on the
passenger seat toward the door or put
their head or hands outside the vehicle.
● Do not attach anything to or lean any-
thing against areas such as the dash-
board or steering wheel pad.
These items can become projectiles
when SRS driver and front passenger
airbags deploy.
● Do not attach anything to areas such as
a door, windshield glass, side door
glass, rear quarter glass, front and rear
pillar or roof side rail.

124 1-7. Safety information
WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
●Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the S RS air-
bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.
● If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbag has deploye d, open a
door or window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if i t is safe to do
so. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin ir ritation.
● If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the stee ring wheel
pad and front and rear pillar garnishes, are damaged or cracked, have
them replaced by your Toyota dealer.
■ Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modifications
without consulting your Toyota dealer.
The SRS airbags may malfunction or deploy (inflate) accidentall y, causing
death or serious injury.
● Installation, removal, disassem bly and repair of the SRS airbag s.
● Repairs, modifications, removal or replacement of the steering wheel,
instrument panel, dashboard, seats or seat upholstery, front, side and rear
pillars or roof side rails.
● Repairs or modifications of the front fender, front bumper, or side of the
occupant compartment.
● Installation of a grille guard (bull bars, kangaroo bar, etc.), snow plows,
winches.
● Modifications to the vehicle's suspension system.
● Installation of electronic devices such as mobile two-way radio s and CD
players.
● Modifications to your vehicle for a person with a physical disa bility.
