Alarm-operated door lock
When the alarm is operating, the doors are locked automatically to pre-
vent intruders.
Do not leave the key inside the vehicle when the alarm is operating, and
make sure the key is not inside the vehicle when recharging or replacing
the battery.
Canceling and automatic re-enabling of the intrusion sensor and tilt
sensor
The alarm will still be set even when the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor
are canceled.
After the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor are canceled, pressing the
“ENGINE START STOP” switch or unlocking the doors using the entry
function or wireless remote control will re-enable the intrusion sensor and
tilt sensor.
When the alarm system is set again, the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor
will be set.

Intrusion sensor considerations
The sensor may trigger the alarm in the following situations:
People or pets are in the vehicle.
A window or the moon roof is open. In
this case, the sensor may detect the fol-
lowing:
• Wind or the movement of objects
such as leaves and insects inside
the vehicle
• Ultrasonic waves emitted from
devices such as the intrusion sen-
sors of other vehicles
• The movement of people outside
the vehicle
Unstable items, such as dangling
accessories or clothes hanging on the
coat hooks, are in the vehicle.
The vehicle is parked in a place where
extreme vibrations or noises occur,
such as in a parking garage.

The vehicle is inside an automatic or high-pressure car wash.
The vehicle experiences impacts, such as hail, lightning strikes, and
other kinds of repeated impacts or vibrations.
Tilt sensor detection considerations
The sensor may trigger the alarm in the following situations:
The vehicle is transported by a ferry, trailer, train, etc.
The vehicle is parked in a parking garage.
The vehicle is inside a car wash that moves the vehicle.
Any of the tires loses air pressure.
The vehicle is jacked up.
An earthquake occurs or the road caves in.
Cargo is loaded onto or unloaded from the roof luggage carrier.
Ice or snow is removed from the vehi-
cle, causing the vehicle to receive
repeated impacts or vibrations.

NOTICE
To ensure the intrusion sensor functions correctly
Installing accessories other than genuine Toyota parts or leaving objects
between the driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat may reduce the detec-
tion performance.
To ensure the system operates correctly
Do not modify or remove the system. If modified or removed, the proper
operation of the system cannot be guaranteed.
To ensure that the sensors operate
properly, do not touch or cover them.
Do not spray air fresheners or other
products directly into the sensor holes.

1-7. Safety information
Correct driving posture
Drive with a good posture as follows:
Sit upright and well back in
the seat. (P. 7 5 )
Adjust the position of the
seat forward or backward to
ensure the pedals can be
reached and easily
depressed to the extent
required. (P. 75)
Adjust the seatback so that
the controls are easily oper-
able.
Adjust the tilt and telescopic
positions of the steering
wheel downward so the air-
bag is facing your chest.
(P. 101)
Lock the head restraint in
place with the center of the
head restraint closest to the
top of your ears. (P. 91)
Wear the seat belt correctly.
(P. 95)

CAUTION
While driving
Do not adjust the position of the driver’s seat while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
Do not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seatback.
A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce
the effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint, increasing the risk of
death or serious injury to the driver or passenger.
Do not place anything under the front seats.
Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the seat
tracks and stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an acci-
dent. The adjustment mechanism may also be damaged.
Adjusting the seat position
Do not recline the seat more than necessary when the vehicle is in motion,
to reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt.
If the seat is too reclined during an accident, the lap belt may slide past the
hips and apply restraint forces directly to the abdomen or your neck may
contact the shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury.
Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passen-
gers are not injured by the moving seat.
Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid
injury.
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.

SRS airbags
The SRS airbags inflate when the vehicle is subjected to certain
types of severe impacts that may cause significant injury to the
occupants. They work together with the seat belts to help reduce the
risk of death or serious injury.
Front airbags
Driver airbag/front passenger airbag
Can help protect the head and chest of the driver and front pas-
senger from impact with interior components.
Knee airbags
Can help provide driver and front passenger protection.

138 1-7. Safety information
L/C200_EE (OM60G38E)
Side and curtain shield airbags
Side airbags
Can help protect the torso of the front seat occupants.
Side airbags (if equipped)
Can help protect the torso of the second outboard seat occu-
pants.
Curtain shield airbags
Can help protect primarily the head of front seat occupants.
Can help protect primarily the head of second outboard seat
occupants.
Can help protect primarily the head of third seat occupants. (if
equipped)

Airbag system components
The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The
SRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. As
the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the
airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occu-
pants.Knee airbags

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.
Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator)
as well as the front seats, second seats, and parts of the front, side and
rear pillars and roof side rail, 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 airbag will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds
the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approxi-
mately 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 vehicle 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.).
It is possible that in some collisions where the forward deceleration of the
vehicle is very close to the designed threshold level, the SRS front air-
bags and the seat belt pretensioners may not activate together.
SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side airbags and SRS curtain
shield airbags)
The SRS side airbags and SRS 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 perpen-
dicular to the vehicle orientation at an approximate speed of 20 - 30 km/h
[12 - 18 mph]).
The SRS curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of vehicle rollover.
