WARNING
●The SRS side airbags and SRS
curtain shield airbags are
designed only to be a supple-
ment to the primary protection
provided by the seatbelt. They
do not eliminate the need to fas-
ten seatbelts. It is also important
to wear a seatbelt to help avoid
injuries that can result when an
occupant is not seated in a
proper upright position.
●The SRS airbags deploy with
considerable speed and force.
Occupants who are not seated
in proper upright position when
the SRS airbag deploys could
suffer serious injury. Because
the SRS airbag needs enough
space for deployment, the driver
should always sit upright and
back in the seat a s far from the
steering wheel as practical
while still maintaining full vehi-
cle control, and the front pas-
senger should move the seat as
far back as possible and sit
upright and we ll back in the
seat.
●Do not sit or lean close to either
door. The SRS side airbags are
stored in both front seat seat-
backs next to the door, and they
provide protection by deploying
rapidly in the event of a side
impact collision. However, the
force of SRS side airbag
deployment can injure an occu-
pant whose body is too close to
an SRS airbag.
●Since your vehicle is equipped
with SRS curtain shield airbags,
do not sit or lean close to the
door on either side. Do not put
body parts out of the window.
The SRS curtain shield airbags
on both sides of the cabin are
stored in the roof side (between
the front pilla r and a point
behind the rear quarter glass),
and they provide protection by
deploying rapidly in the event of
a side impact, rollover or an off-
set frontal collision. However,
the force of its deployment can
injure an occupant whose body
is too close to an SRS airbag.

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.63.
●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
