581-1. For safe use
HILUX_OM_OM0K219E_(EE)
■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
●Bruising and slight abrasions may result from contact with a deploying
(inflating) SRS airbag.
● A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.
● Vehicles without SRS curtain shield airbags: Parts of the airbag module
(steering wheel hub, airbag cover and infl ator) as well as the seats may be
hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.
● Vehicles with SRS curtain shield air bags: Parts of the airbag module (steer-
ing wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the seats, parts of the
front and rear pillars, and roof side rails, may be hot for several minutes.
The airbag itself may also be hot.
● The windshield may crack.
■ SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the
set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approximately 20 -
30 km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or
deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher if the vehicle
strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle and sign pole, which can move
or deform on impact, or if the vehicl e is involved in an underride collision
(e.g. a collision in which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under,
the bed of a truck etc.).
● Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt pre-
tensioners will activate.
■ SRS airbag deployment conditions (S RS side airbags and curtain shield
airbags)
The SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of an
impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding
to the impact force produced by an approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehicle
colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle
orientation at an approximate speed of 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph]).

HILUX_OM_OM0K219E_(EE)
For safety and security
■Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other than
a collision (SRS front airbags)
The SRS front airbags may also deploy if a serious impact occurs to the
underside of your vehicle. Some exam ples are shown in the illustration.
■ Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS front air-
bags)
The SRS front airbags are generally not designed to inflate if the vehicle is
involved in a side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-
speed frontal collision. But, whenever a collision of any type causes sufficient
forward deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front airbags may
occur. ● Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard
surface
● Falling into or jumping over a deep hole
● Landing hard or falling
● Collision from the side
● Collision from the rear
● Vehicle rollover

901-2. Theft deterrent system
HILUX_OM_OM0K219E_(EE)
Do one of the following to deactivate or stop the alarms:
●Unlock the doors using the wireless remote control.
● Turn the engine switch to the “ON” position, or start the engine.
(The alarm will be deactivated or stopped after a few seconds.)
■System maintenance
The vehicle has a maintenance-free type alarm system.
■ Items to check before locking the vehicle
To prevent unexpected triggering of the alarm and vehicle theft, make sure of
the following:
● Nobody is in the vehicle.
● The windows are closed before the alarm is set.
● No valuables or other personal items are left in the vehicle.
■ Impact sensor
The impact sensor can be canceled to pr event false alarms from being trig-
gered in case of the following conditions.
● When parking in the noisy area
● The vehicle body or glass is subjected to a strong impact from the outside
(such as in highly pressurized car wash)
● When transporting by a car carrier or ferry
Canceling the impact sensor, contact any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
The impact sensor is deactivated as long as the system remains armed.

Operation of each component
HILUX_OM_OM0K219E_(EE)
■Operation signals
The emergency flashers flash to indicate that the doors have been locked/
unlocked. (Locked: once; Unlocked: twice)
■ Door lock buzzer (some models of type B)
If an attempt to lock the doors is made when a door is not fully closed, a
buzzer sounds for 1 second.
■ Panic mode (type B)
■ Security feature
If a door is not opened within approximately 30 seconds after the vehicle is
unlocked, the security feature automatically locks the vehicle again.
■ Alarm (type B)
Using the wireless remote control to lock the doors will set the alarm system.
(→ P. 89)
■ Conditions affecting operation
The wireless remote control function may not operate normally in the follow-
ing situations:
●Near a TV tower, radio station, electr ic power plant, airport or other facility
that generates strong radio waves
● When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone or other wireless communi-
cation devices
● When multiple wireless keys are in the vicinity
● When the wireless key is in contact with, or is covered by a metallic object
● When a wireless key (that emits radio waves) is being used nearby
● When the wireless key has been left near an electrical appliance such as a
personal computer
■ Key battery depletion
If the wireless remote control function does not operate, the battery may be
depleted. Replace the battery when necessary. ( →P. 406)
When is pressed for longer than
about 1 second, an alarm will sound inter-
mittently and the vehicle lights will flash to
deter any person from trying to break into
or damage your vehicle.
To stop the alarm, press any button on the
wireless remote control.

NOTICE
■When encountering flooded roads
Do not drive on a road that has flooded after heavy rain etc. Doing so may
cause the following serious damage to the vehicle:
● Engine stalling
● Short in electrical components
● Engine damage caused by water immersion
In the event that you drive on a flooded road and the vehicle is flooded, be
sure to have any authorized Toyota deale r or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional check the following:
● Brake function
● Changes in quantity and quality of oil and fluid used for the engine, trans-
mission, transfer (4WD models), differential, etc.
● Lubricant condition for the propeller shaft, bearings and suspension joints
(where possible), and the function of all joints, bearings, etc.

Driving
HILUX_OM_OM0K219E_(EE)■
If the engine overheats
Towing a loaded trailer up a long, steep incline in temperatures
exceeding 30
°C (85 °F) may result in the engine overheating. If the
engine coolant temperature gauge indicates that the engine is over-
heating, turn the air conditioning off immediately, leave the road and
stop the vehicle in a safe place. ( →P. 482)
■When parking the vehicle
Always place wheel chocks under the wheels of both the vehicle
and trailer. Firmly set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to P
for automatic transmissions, and 1 or R for manual transmissions.
CAUTION
Follow all the instructions described in this section. Failure to do so could
cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■
Trailer towing precautions
When towing, make sure that none of the weight limits are exceeded.
(→ P. 173)
■ Vehicle speed in towing
Observe the legal maximum speeds for trailer towing.
■ Before descending hills or long declines
Reduce speed and downshift. However, never downshift suddenly while
descending steep or long down hill grades.
■ Operation of the brake pedal
Do not hold the brake pedal depressed often or for long periods of time.
Doing so may result in the brake overheating or reduce braking effects.
