WARNING
●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 is 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 may not activate, which 
could cause death or serious 
injury in the event of a collision.
●Do not apply a heavy load to the 
front passenger seat or equip-
ment (e.g. se atback pocket).
●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 the 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 position 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 lessen 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 straight, 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 7 )
●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 may come on to 
indicate a malfunction of the 
front passenger occupant clas-
sification system. In this case, 
contact your Toyota dealer 
immediately.

Exhaust gas precau-
tions
Harmful substance to the 
human body is included in 
exhaust gases if inhaled.
WARNING
Exhaust gases include harmful 
carbon monoxide (CO), which is 
colorless and odorless. Observe 
the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause 
exhaust gases enter the vehicle 
and may lead to an accident 
caused by light-headedness, or 
may lead to death or a serious 
health hazard.
■Important points while driving
●Keep the back door closed.
●If you smell exhaust gases in 
the vehicle even when the back 
door is closed, open the win-
dows and have the vehicle 
inspected at your Toyota dealer 
as soon as possible.
■When parking
●If the vehicle is in a poorly venti-
lated area or a closed area, 
such as a garage, stop the 
engine.
●Do not leave the vehicle with 
the engine on for a long time.
If such a situation cannot be 
avoided, park the vehicle in an 
open space and ensure that 
exhaust fumes do not enter the 
vehicle interior.
●Do not leave the engine running 
in an area with snow build-up, 
or where it is snowing. If snow-
banks build up around the vehi-
cle while the engine is running, 
exhaust gases may collect and 
enter the vehicle.
■Exhaust pipe
The exhaust system needs to be 
checked periodically. If there is a 
hole or crack caused by corro-
sion, damage to a joint or abnor-
mal exhaust noise, be sure to 
have the vehicle inspected and 
repaired by your Toyota dealer.

481-2. Child safety
COROLLA H/B_U
install the child restraint system:
Move the front seat fully rear-
ward.
 Adjust the seat height to the 
upper most position.
 Adjust the seatback angle to 
the most upright position.
 If the head restraint interferes 
with the child restraint system 
installation and the head 
restraint can be removed, 
remove the head restraint.
Otherwise, put the head restraint in 
the upper most position.
WARNING
■When using a child restraint 
system
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may result in 
death or serious injury.
●Never install a rear-facing child 
restraint system on the front 
passenger seat even if the “AIR 
BAG OFF” indicator light is illu-
minated. In the event of an acci-
dent, the force of the rapid 
inflation of the front passenger 
airbag can cause death or seri-
ous injury to the child if the 
rear-facing child restraint sys-
tem is installed on the front pas-
senger seat.
●A forward-facing child restraint 
system may be installed on the 
front passenger seat only when 
it is unavoidable. A child 
restraint system that requires a 
top tether strap should not be 
used in the front passenger seat 
since there is no top tether strap 
anchor for the front passenger 
seat.
●A forward-facing child restraint 
system may be installed on the 
front passenger seat only when 
it is unavoidable. When install-
ing a forward-facing child 
restraint system on the front 
passenger seat, adjust the seat-
back angle to the most upright 
position, move the seat to the 
rearmost position, and raise the 
seat to the upper most position, 
even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-
cator light is illuminated.

WARNING
■If a safety system warning 
light does not come on
Should a safety system light such 
as the ABS and SRS warning light 
not come on when you start the 
engine, this could mean that 
these systems are not available to 
help protect you in an accident, 
which could result in death or seri-
ous injury. Have the vehicle 
inspected by your Toyota dealer 
immediately if this occurs.
