In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes on.Following an impact, have the seat belt system checked, and if necessary replaced, by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
Airbags
General information
System designed to help improve the safety of the occupants sitting in the front seats and the rear outer seats, in the event of a violent collision. The airbags supplement the action of the seat belts equipped with a force limiting system.Electronic detectors record and analyse the front and side impacts sustained in the impact detection zones:– In the event of violent impact, the airbags deploy instantly and help better protect the occupants of the vehicle; immediately after the
impact, the airbags deflate rapidly in order not to hinder the visibility or the possible exit of the occupants.– In the event of a slight impact, a rear impact and under certain rollover conditions, the airbags may not deploy; only the seat belt helps to protect you in these situations.The seriousness of the impact depends on the nature of the obstacle and the speed of the vehicle at the moment of collision.
WARNI NG
The airbags do not operate when the ignition is switched off.This equipment will only deploy once. If a second impact occurs (during the same or a subsequent accident), the airbag will not be deployed again.
Impact detection zones
A.Front impact zone
B.Side impact zone
NOTIC E
When one or more airbags are deployed, the detonation of the pyrotechnic charge
incorporated in the system makes a noise and releases a small quantity of smoke.This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive individuals may experience irritation.The detonation noise associated with the deployment of one or more airbags may result in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbags
System that protects the driver and front passenger(s) in the event of a serious front
impact, limiting the risk of head and chest injury.The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is fitted in the roof.
With the two-seat front bench seat, the passenger sitting in the centre is also protected.

Deployment
They are deployed, except for the front passenger airbag if it is deactivated*, in the event of a violent front impact applied to all or part of the frontal impact zone A.The front airbag inflates between the chest and head of the front occupant of the vehicle and the steering wheel, on the driver's side, and the dashboard, on the passenger's side, to cushion their forward movement.
* For more information on Deactivating the front passenger airbag, refer t\
o the corresponding section.
W ARNI NG
When driving, keep the storage compartment closed. Otherwise, there is a risk of injury in the event of an accident or sudden braking.
Lateral airbags
If fitted to the vehicle, this system protects the driver and front passenger in the event of a serious side impact, limiting the risk of injury to
the chest, between the hip and the shoulder.Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest frame, on the door side.
Deployment
They are deployed on one side in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or part of the side impact zone B.
The lateral airbag inflates between the chest of the vehicle's occupant and the corresponding door panel.
Curtain airbags
If fitted to the vehicle, this system offers enhanced protection for the driver and passenger in the event of a serious side impact, limiting the risk of injury to the side of the head.Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and the upper passenger compartment area.
NOTIC E
With the two-seat front bench seat, the passenger sitting in the centre is not protected.
If fitted to the vehicle, this system offers enhanced protection for the driver and passengers (except in the central seats) in the event of a serious side impact, limiting the risk of injury to the side of the head.Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and the upper passenger compartment area.

Deployment
It deploys simultaneously with the corresponding lateral airbag in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or part of the side impact zone B.The curtain airbag inflates between the front and rear occupants of the vehicle and the corresponding windows.
Malfunction
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, you must contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.The airbags may not be deployed in the event of a serious impact.
WARNI NG
In the event of a minor impact or bump at the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls over, the airbags may not be deployed.In the event of a rear or front collision, none of the lateral airbags are deployed.
Advice
WARNI NG
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the safety recommendations below.Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.Fasten your seat belt and position it correctly.Do not place anything between the occupants
and the airbags (e.g. child, animal, object), do not fix or attach anything near or in the path of the airbags, as this could cause injuries when they are deployed.Do not place anything on the dashboard.Never modify the original definition of the vehicle, particularly in the area directly around the airbags.Even if all of the precautions mentioned are observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to the head, chest or arms cannot be ruled out when an airbag is deployed. The bag inflates almost instantly (within a few milliseconds) then deflates within the same time, discharging the hot gas via openings provided for this purpose.After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen, have the airbag systems checked.All work must be carried out only by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
WARNI NG
Front airbagsDo not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre part of the wheel.Passengers must not place their feet on the dashboard.Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags can cause burns or the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.Do not fix or attach anything to the steering wheel or dashboard, as this could cause injuries when the airbags are deployed.
WARNI NG
Lateral airbagsUse only approved seat covers compatible with the deployment of these airbags.
For information on the range of seat covers suitable for your vehicle, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backrests (e.g. clothing) as this could cause injuries to the chest or arm when the airbag is deployed.Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.

When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant temperature to increase. The maximum towable load depends on the gradient and the exterior temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not increase with engine speed.► Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to limit the amount of heating produced.► Pay constant attention to the coolant temperatureIf this warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Brakes
Using the engine brake is recommended to limit the overheating of the brakes. Braking distances are increased when towing a trailer.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more
susceptible to wind when towing.
