WARNING
●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.
●Child restraint systems installed
on the rear seat should not con-
tact the front seatbacks.
●Do not use a seat accessory,
such as a cushion and seat
cover, that covers the seat
cushion surface.
●Do not modify or replace the
upholstery of the front seat.
●Adjust the front passenger seat
so that the head restraint does
not touch the ceiling. If the head
restraint is left in contact with
the ceiling, the system may not
detect the front passenger prop-
erly, leading to improper opera-
tion of the airbags.

■System malfunction
*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 not recognize
them as an adult depending on their 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: For some children, child in seat, child in booster seat or child in convert-
ible seat, the system may not recognize them as a child. Factors which
may affect this can be the physique or posture.
*5: Never install a rear-facing child rest raint system on the front passenger
seat. A forward-facing child restraint system should only be installed on
the front passenger seat w hen it is unavoidable. (P.54)
*6: In case the indicator light is not illu minated, consult this manual on how
to install the child restraint system properly. ( P.51)
