Installation of a mobile two-way radio systemAs the installation of a mobile two- way radio system in your vehicle
could affect electronic systems such as the multiport fuel injection
system/sequential multiport fuel injection system, cruise control sys-
tem, anti-lock brake system, vehicle stability control system, SRS air-
bag system and seat belt pretensioner system and Toyota hybrid
system, be sure to check with your Toyota dealer for precautionary
measures or special instructions regarding installation.
High voltage parts and cables on th e hybrid vehicles emit approxi-
mately the same amount of elec tromagnetic waves as the conven-
tional gasoline powered vehicles or home electronic appliances
despite of their electromagnetic shielding.
Unwanted noise may occur in the reception of the mobile two-way
radio.
Scrapping of your Toyota
The SRS airbag and seat belt pret ensioner devices in your Toyota
contain explosive chemic als. If the vehicle is scrapped with the air-
bags 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 your Toyota dealer before you scrap your vehicle.
Perchlorate Material
Special handling may apply,
See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazar douswaste/perchlorate.
Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate. These
components may include airbag, seat belt pretensioners, and wire-
less remote control batteries.

1-8. Safety information
Correct driving posture
Drive with a good posture as follows:
Sit upright and well back in
the seat.
Adjust the position of the
seat forward or backward to
ensure the pedals can be
reached and easily
depressed to the extent
required. (P. 57)
Adjust the seatback so that
the controls are easily oper-
able.
Adjust the tilt position of the
steering wheel downward
so the airbag is facing your
chest. ( P. 7 1 )
Lock the head restraint in
place with the center of the
head restraint closest to the
top of your ears. ( P. 62)
Wear the seat belt correctly.

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 ches t of the driver and front pas-
senger from impact with interior components.
Side and curtain shield airbags
Side airbag (if equipped)
Can help protect the torso of th e front occupants and rear out-
board occupants.
Curtain shield airbag (if equipped)
Can help protect primarily the head of front occupants and rear
outboard occupants.

Before driving
PRIUS_U_(OM47614U)
Your vehicle is equipped with “ADVANCED AIRBAGS” designed
based on US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The air-
bag system controls air
bag deployment power for the driver and front
passenger. The driver airbag system consists of the driver seat’s
position sensor etc. The front pass enger’s airbag system consists of
the front passenger occupant classification sensor etc.
The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The
SRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. The
airbag sensor assembly consists of a safing sensor and an airbag
sensor.
In certain types of severe frontal or side impacts, the SRS airbag sys-
tem triggers the airbag inflators. A chemical reaction in the inflators
quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help rest rain the motion
of the occupants.
■ 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 seats, and parts of the front and rear pillars and roof side
rail, may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.
● The windshield may crack.

■Operating conditions (front airbags)
● The SRS front airbags will deploy if the severity of the frontal impact is
above the designed threshold level, comparable to an approximate 15
mph (25 km/h) collision, when the vehicle impacts straight into a fixed
barrier 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 or 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.
● The SRS front passenger airbags will not activate, if there is no passen-
ger sitting in the front passenger seat. However, the front passenger air-
bag may deploy, if heavy luggage is put, even if the seat is unoccupied.
(P. 101)
■ Operating conditions (side and curt ain shield airbags [if equipped])
● The SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags are designed to inflate
when the passenger compartment is subjected to a severe impact from
the side.
● The SRS front side airbag on the passenger seat will not activate, if there
is no passenger sitting in the front passenger seat. However, the front
side airbag on the passenger seat may deploy, if heavy luggage is put,
even if the seat is unoccupied. ( P. 101)
