passenger seat. However, the
SRS airbags for the front passen-
ger’s seat may deploy, even if the
seat is unoccupied, if luggage is
put on the seat.
●In the event of an especially
severe frontal collision, the left
and right SRS curtain shield air-
bags may also deploy.
■The SRS airbags deploy in a
side impact when
●The following SRS airbags will
deploy in the event of an impact
that exceeds the set threshold
level (level of force corresponding
to the impact force produced by
an approximately 3300 lb. [1500
kg] vehicle collid ing with the pas-
senger compartment at a perpen-
dicular angle at an approximate
speed of 12 - 18 mph [20 - 30
km/h]):
• SRS side airbags
• SRS curtain shield airbags
●If the vehicle is involved in a roll-
over, the following SRS airbags
will deploy:
• Both left and right SRS curtain
shield airbags
■The SRS airbags deploy in an
underside impact when
●The following airbags may deploy
if the underside of the vehicle col-
lides with a hard object:
• SRS front airbags
• SRS knee airbag
• SRS side airbags
• SRS curtain shield airbags
●The following airbags may deploy
if the vehicle becomes signifi-
cantly tilted or is strongly impacted
by skidding into a curb, etc.: • SRS curtain shield airbags
■The SRS side airbags will not
deploy when
●The following SRS airbags will not
normally deploy in side or rear col-
lisions, vehicle rollovers, or low
speed frontal collisions. However,
if such a collision causes sufficient
sudden deceleration, the SRS air-
bags may deploy.
• SRS front airbags
• SRS knee airbag
●The following SRS airbags may
not deploy if the vehicle is collided
with at a certain angle or in a side
collision where an area of the
vehicle other than the passenger
compartment is collided with:

WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precau-
tions. Failure to do so may result
in death or serious injury.
●The driver and all passengers
must wear their seat belts cor-
rectly.
The SRS airbags are supple-
mental devices to be used with
the seat belts.

For safety and security
WARNING
●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 provides y ou with a clear
margin of safety. This distance is
measured from the center of the
steering wheel to your breast-
bone. If your current driving posi-
tion places you less than 10 in.
(250 mm) away from the driver
airbag, you can change your driv-
ing position in several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as possible while still being
able to reach the pedals com-
fortably.
• Slightly recline the seatback. Although vehicle designs vary,
many drivers can achieve the
10 in. (251 mm) distance, even
with the driver seat all the way
forward, simply by reclining the
seatback somewhat. If reclining
the seatback makes it hard to
see the road, raise yourself by
using a firm, non-slippery cush-
ion, or raise the seat if your
vehicle has that feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjust- able, tilt it downward. This
points the airbag toward your
chest instead of your head and
neck. The seat should be
adjusted as recommended by
the NHTSA, while still being
able to control the vehicle with
the pedals and steering wheel,
and maintaining your view of the
instrument panel controls.
●If a seat belt extender has been
connected to a front seat belt
buckle but the latch plate of the
seat belt has not been fastened
to the seat belt extender, the
SRS airbag system will judge
that the occupant is wearing the
seat belt even though the seat
belt has not been fastened. In
this case, the SRS front airbags
may not deploy c orrectly in a
collision, resulting in death or
serious injury. Be sure to wear
the seat belt correctly when
using a seat belt extender.
●The SRS front passenger air-
bag deploys with considerable
force, and can cause death or
serious injury, especially if the
front passenger is very close to
the airbag. The front passenger
seat should be positioned as far
possible from the airbag with
the seatback adjusted so that
the passenger is sat upright.

341-1. For safe use
WARNING
●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 restraint
system. Toyota strongly recom-
mends that all infants and chil-
dren 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. 4 3 )
●Do not sit on the edge of the
seat or lean against the dash-
board.
●Do not allow a child to stand in
front of the SRS front passenger
airbag or sit on the lap of a front
passenger.
●Front seat occupants should
never hold items on their lap.
●Do not lean against the door,
roof side rail, or front, side, or
rear pillar.
●Do not allow anyone to kneel on
a seat toward the door or put
their head or han ds outside the
vehicle.
●Do not attach anything to or
lean anything against areas
such as the dashboard, steering
wheel pad and lower portion of
the instrument panel.

351-1. For safe use

For safety and security
WARNING
●Do not attach anything to areas
such as the doors, windshield,
side windows, front or rear pil-
lars, roof side rails and assist
grips. (With the exception of the
speed limit label
P.419)
●Do not hang coat hangers or
other hard objects on the coat
hooks. These items could
become project iles if the SRS
curtain shield airbags deploy,
possibly leading to death or
serious injury.
●If a vinyl cover is attached to the
area where the SRS knee air-
bag deploys, be sure to remove
it.
●Do not use seat accessories
which cover the parts from
which the SRS airbags deploy,
as they may interfere with infla-
tion of the SRS airbags. Such
accessories may prevent the
SRS airbags from deploying
correctly, may disable the sys-
tem or cause the SRS airbags
to inflate unintentionally, possi-
bly resulting in death or serious
injury.
●Do not strike or apply significant
force to the SRS airbag system
components, front doors or their
surrounding area.
Doing so may cause the SRS
airbags to malfunction.
●Do not touch any components
of the SRS airbags immediately
after the SRS airbags have
deployed (inflated) as they may
be hot.
●If breathing becomes difficult
after the SRS airbags have
deployed, open a door or win-
dow to allow fresh air in, or
leave the vehicle if it is safe to
do so. Wash off any residue as
soon as possible to prevent skin
irritation.
●If a part where an SRS airbag is
stored is damaged or cracked,
have it replaced by your Toyota
dealer.
●Do not place anything, such as
a cushion, on the front passen-
ger's seat. Doing so will
disperse the passenger’s
weight, which prevents the sen-
sor from detecting the passen-
ger’s weight properly. As a
result, the SRS front airbags for
the front passenger’s seat may
not deploy in the event of a colli-
sion.
■Modification and disposal of
SRS airbag system compo-
nents
Do not dispose of your vehicle or
perform any of the following modi-
fications without consulting your
Toyota dealer. The SRS airbags
may malfunction or deploy unin-
tentionally, possi bly leading to
death or serious injury.

adult sits in the front passenger seat, the system may not recognize them
as an adult depending on their physique and posture.
*2: In the event the front passenger is wearing a seat belt.
*3: In the event the front passenge r does not wear a seat belt.
*4: For some children, child in seat, child in booster seat or chi ld in convert-
ible seat, the system may not recognize them as a child. Factors which
may affect this can be the physique or posture.
*5: Never install a rear-facing ch ild restraint system on the fron t passenger
seat. A forward-facing child restraint system should only be in stalled on
the front passenger sea t when it is unavoidable. ( P.43)

WARNING
■Front passenger occupant
classification system precau-
tions
Observe the following precautions
regarding the front passenger
occupant classification system.
Failure to do so may cause death
or serious injury.
●Wear the seat belt properly.
●Make sure the front passenger’s
seat belt latch plate has not
been left inserted into the
buckle before someone sits in
the front passenger seat.
●Make sure the “AIR BAG OFF”
indicator light is not illuminated
when using the seat belt
extender for the front passenger
seat. If the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-
cator light is illuminated, discon-
nect the extender tongue from
the seat belt buckle, and recon-
nect the seat belt. Reconnect
the seat belt extender after
making sure the “AIR BAG ON”
indicator light i s illuminated. If
you use the seat belt extender
while the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-
cator light is illuminated, the
SRS airbags for the front pas-
senger will not activate, which
could cause death or serious
injury in the even t of a collision.
●Do not apply a heavy load to the
front passenger seat or equip-
ment (e.g. seatback pocket).

401-1. For safe use
WARNING
●Do not put weight on the front
passenger seat by putting your
hands or feet on the front pas-
senger seat seatback from the
rear passenger seat.
●Do not let a rear passenger lift
the front passenger seat with
their feet or press on the seat-
back with their legs.
●Do not put objects under the
front passenger seat.
●Do not recline the front passen-
ger seatback so far that it
touches a rear seat. This may
cause the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-
cator light to be illuminated,
which indicates that the SRS
airbags for the front passenger
will not activate in the event of a
severe accident. If the seatback
touches the rear seat, return the
seatback to a pos ition where it
does not touch the rear seat.
Keep the front passenger seat-
back as upright as possible
when the vehicle is moving.
Reclining the seatback exces-
sively may less en the effective-
ness of the seat belt system.
●If an adult sits in the front pas-
senger seat, the “AIR BAG ON”
indicator light is illuminated. If
the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator is
illuminated, ask the passenger
to sit up straig ht, well back in
the seat, feet on the floor, and
with the seat belt worn correctly.
If the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator
still remains illuminated, either
ask the passenger to move to
the rear seat, or if that is not
possible, move the front pas-
senger seat fully rearward.
●When it is unavoidable to install
a forward-facing child restraint
system on the front passenger
seat, install the child restraint
system on the front passenger
seat in the proper order.
(
P. 4 5 )
●Do not modify or remove the
front seats.
●Do not kick the front passenger
seat or subject it to severe
impact. Otherwise, the SRS
warning light m ay come on to
indicate a malfu nction of the
front passenger occupant clas-
sification system. In this case,
contact your Toyota dealer
immediately.
●Child restraint systems installed
on the rear seat should not con-
tact the front seatbacks.
●Do not use a seat accessory,
such as a cushion and seat
cover, that covers the seat
cushion surface.
●Do not modify or replace the
upholstery of the front seat.
