Toyota advanced frontal airbag systemYour vehicle is equipped with a Toyota advanced frontal airbag sys-
tem that complies with the new advanced frontal airbag requirem ents
in the amended Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No .
208.
The Toyota advanced frontal airbag system automatically determines
the deployment force of the driv er’s SRS frontal airbag at the time of
deployment as well as whether or not to activate the front pass en-
ger’s SRS frontal airbag and, if activated, the deployment force of the
SRS frontal airbag at the time of deployment.
Your vehicle has warning labels on the driver’s and front passe nger’s
sun visors beginning with the phrase “EVEN WITH ADVANCED AIR
BAGS” and a tag attached to the glove box lid beginning with th e
phrase “Even with Advanced Air Bags”. Make sure that you carefu lly
read the instructions on the warning labels and tag.
Always wear your seat belt. The Toyota advanced frontal airbag sys-
tem is a supplemental restraint system and must be used in comb ina-
tion with a seat belt. All occupa nts should wear a seat belt or be
seated in an appropriate c hild restraint system.
The driver’s SRS frontal airbag is stowed in the center portion of the
steering wheel. The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is sto wed
near the top of the dashboard under an “SRS AIRBAG” mark.
In a moderate to severe frontal collision, the following compon ents
deploy.
● SRS frontal airbag for driver
● SRS frontal airbag for front passenger
These components suppl ement the seat belts by reducing the impact
to the occupant’s head and chest.

WARNING
■
SRS airbag precautions
●The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause
death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) advises:
Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75 mm)
of inflation, placing yourself 10 in. (250 mm) from your driver airbag pro-
vides you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measu red from the
center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than 10 in.
(250 mm) away now, you can change your driving position in several
ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the pedals comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle design s vary,
many drivers can achieve the 10 in. (250 mm) distance, even wit h the
driver seat all the way forward, simply by reclining the back o f the seat
somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to s ee the
road, raise yourself by using a firm, non-slippery cushion, or raise the
seat if your vehicle has that feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This p oints the air-
bag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as recommended by NHTSA above, whil e
still maintaining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, a nd your view of
the instrument panel controls.
● The SRS front passenger airbag al so deploys with considerable force, and
can cause death or serious injury especially if the front passe nger is very
close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far from the air-
bag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passen ger sits
upright.
● Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or
seriously injured by a deploying airbag. An infant or child who is too small
to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child res traint sys-
tem. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in
the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats are
safer for infants and children than the front passenger seat. ( P. 137)

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.
