The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Toyota contain
explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seat belt
pretensioners left as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be
sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner
removed and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer before
you scrap your vehicle.
Scrapping of your Toyota
WARNING
Q General precautions while driving
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ-
ence of alcohol or drugs that have impair ed your ability to operate your vehi-
cle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment and
reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in
death or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other
drivers or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that
distracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or
reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you,
your occupants or others.
Q General precaution regarding children’s safety
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to
have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral.
There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with
the windows or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or
extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

Vehicles without SRS side and curtain shield airbags
The pretensioners help the seat
belts to quickly restrain the occu-
pants by retracting the seat belts
when the vehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe frontal col-
lision.
The pretensioners do not activate
in the event of a minor frontal
impact, a side impact, a rear
impact or a vehicle rollover.
Vehicles with SRS side and curtain shield airbags
The pretensioners help the seat belts to quickly restrain the occupants
by retracting the seat belts when the vehicle is subjected to certain
types of severe frontal or side collision.
The pretensioners do not activate in t he event of a minor frontal impact, a
minor side impact, a rear impact or a vehicle rollover.
Q Emergency locking retractor (ELR) (3-point type seat belt)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend so that you can move around fully.
Q Child seat belt usage
The seat belts of your vehicle were principally designed for persons of adult
size.
O Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child
becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt. (  P. 6 5 )
O When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat
belt, follow the instructions regarding seat belt usage. ( P. 40)
Q Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate for
the first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent collisions.
Q Seat belt regulations
If seat belt regulations exist in the country where you reside, please contact
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer for seat belt repl acement or installation.

WARNING
QWhen children are in the vehicle
 P. 9 1
Q Seat belt pretensioners
O Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger’s seat.
Doing so will disperse the passenger’s weight, which prevents the sensor
from detecting the passenger’s weight properly. As a result, the seat belt
pretensioner for the front passenger’s seat may not activate in the event of
a collision.
O If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will come on. In
that case, the seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced at any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
Q Adjustable shoulder anchor (if equipped)
Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of your
shoulder. The belt should be kept away from your neck, but not falling off
your shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce the amount of protection in an
accident and cause death or serious injuries in the event of a sudden stop,
sudden swerve or accident. ( P. 41)
Q Seat belt damage and wear
O Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be
jammed in the door.
O Inspect the seat belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose
parts. Do not use a damaged seat belt until it is replaced. Damaged seat
belts cannot protect an occupant from death or serious injury.
O Ensure that the belt and plate are locked and the belt is not twisted.
If the seat belt does not function correctly, immediately contact any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
O Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been
involved in a serious accident, even if there is no obvious damage.
O Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of the
seat belts. Have any necessary repairs carried out by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. Inap-
propriate handling may lead to incorrect operation.

WARNING
QSRS airbag precautions
O Vehicles with SRS side and curtain shield airbags: Do not hang coat hang-
ers or other hard objects on the coat hooks. All of these items could
become projectiles and may cause death or serious injury, should the SRS
curtain shield airbags deploy.
O Vehicles with SRS driver’s knee airbag: If the vinyl cover is put on the area
where the SRS knee airbag will deploy, be sure to remove it.
O Vehicles with SRS side and curtain shield airbags: Do not use seat acces-
sories which cover the parts where the SRS side airbags inflate as they
may interfere with inflation of the SRS airbags. Such accessories may pre-
vent the side airbags from activating co rrectly, disable the system or cause
the side airbags to inflate accidentally, resulting in death or serious injury.
O Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS air-
bag components.
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.
O Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS air-
bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.
O If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbags have deployed, open a
door or window 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.
O Vehicles with SRS side and curtain shield airbags: If the areas where the
SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel pad and front and rear
pillar garnishes, are damaged or cr acked, have them replaced by any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
O Vehicles without SRS side and curtain shield airbags: If the areas where
the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel pad, are damaged
or cracked, have them replaced by any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
O Vehicles with front passenger occupant classification system: Do not place
anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger’s seat. Doing so will
disperse the passenger’s weight, which prevents the sensor from detect-
ing the passenger’s weight properly. As a result, the SRS front airbags for
the front passenger may not deploy in the event of a collision.
O Vehicles without smart entry & start sys-
tem: Do not attach any heavy, sharp or
hard objects such as keys or accesso-
ries to the key. The objects may restrict
the SRS knee airbag (if equipped) infla-
tion or be thrust into the driver’s seat
area by the force of the deploying air-
bag, thus causing a danger.

521-1. For safe use
HILUX_OM_OM0K513E_(EE)
QIf the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
O Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may be sustained from SRS airbags,
due to the extremely high speed deployment (inflation) by hot gases.
O A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.
O Vehicles without SRS curtain shield airbags: Parts of the airbag module
(steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats may
be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.
O Vehicles with SRS curtain shield airbags: Parts of the airbag module (steer-
ing wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front 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.
O The windshield may crack.
O Vehicles with impact detection door lock release system: All of the doors will
be unlocked. ( P. 158)
O Fuel supply to the engine will be stopped. (Gasoline engine) (P. 565)
O Vehicles with eCall: If any of the following situations occur, the system is
designed to send an emergency call to the eCall control center, notifying
them of the vehicle’s location (without needing to push the “SOS” button)
and an agent will attempt to speak with the occupants to ascertain the level
of emergency and assistance required. If the occupants are unable to com-
municate, the agent automatically treats the call as an emergency and helps
to dispatch the necessary emergency services. ( P. 98)
• An SRS airbag is deployed.
• A seat belt pretensioner is activated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe rear-end collision.
O Vehicles with ERA-GLONASS/EVAK: If any of the following situations occur,
the system is designed to send an emergency call* to the ERA-GLONASS/
EVAK control center, notifying them of the vehicle’s location (without need-
ing to push the “SOS” button) and an agent will attempt to speak with the
occupants to ascertain the level of emergency and assistance required. If
the occupants are unable to communicate, the agent automatically treats
the call as an emergency and helps to dispatch the necessary emergency
services. ( P. 110)
• An SRS airbag is deployed.
• A seat belt pretensioner is activated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe side collision. (if equipped)
• The vehicle is involved in a severe rear-end collision.
• The vehicle is involved in a rollover accident.
*: In some cases, the call cannot be made. ( P. 1 1 3 )

For safety and security
QSRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags)
O 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 in the following
situations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole,
which can move or deform on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an underride collision, such as a collision in
which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a
truck
O Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt pre-
tensioners will activate.
O Vehicles with front passenger occupant classification system: The SRS front
airbags for the front passenger will not activate if there is no passenger sit-
ting in the front passenger seat. However, the SRS front airbags for the front
passenger may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, even if the seat is unoc-
cupied.
Q SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield airbags)
O The SRS side 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]).
O All SRS side and curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of a severe
frontal collision.
Q Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other than
a collision
The SRS front airbags, SRS side and curtain shield airbags may also deploy
if a serious impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some examples
are shown in the illustration.
O Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard
surface
O Falling into or jumping over a deep hole
O Landing hard or falling

HILUX_OM_OM0K513E_(EE)
For safety and security
QThere is a malfunction in the system
*1: The system judges a person of adult size as an adult. When a smaller
adult sits in the front passenger seat, the system may recognize him/her
as a child depending on his/her physique and posture.
*2: In the event the front passenger is wearing a seat belt.
*3: In the event the front passenger does not wear a seat belt.
*4: When a larger child who has outgrown a child restraint system sits in the
front passenger seat, the system may recognize him/her as an adult
depending on his/her physique or posture.
*5: For the child’s safety, install the child restraint system to a rear seat.
When it is unavoidable, a child restraint system can be installed on the
front passenger seat. A rear-facing child restraint system should be
installed when “OFF” of the “PASSENGER AIR BAG” indicator is illumi-
nated. ( P. 6 5 )
*6: In case the indicator light is not illuminated, consult this manual on how to
install the child restraint system properly. ( P. 65)
*7: In the event of a side collision.
*8: In the event of a frontal collision.

The Emergency Call system is a device installed on a vehicle to
determine its location and movement direction (using GLONASS
[Global Navigation Satellite System] and GPS [Global Position-
ing System] signals), and ensure the generation and transmis-
sion of vehicle information (in a nonadjustable form) in case of
traffic accidents or other incidents on motor roads in the coun-
tries offering emergency notification services. In addition, it
ensures two-way voice communication between the vehicle and
an ERA-GLONASS/EVAK system operator through cellular net-
works (GSM).
Automatic Emergency Calls (via Automatic Collision Notifica-
tion) and manual Emergency Calls (by pressing the “SOS” but-
ton) can be made to the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control center.
This service is mandatory according to the technical regulations
of the Customs Union.
