AVERTISSEMENT
■Précautions relatives aux coussins gonflables SRS
● N’accrochez pas de cintres ni d’objets rigides sur les crochets porte-vête-
ments. Tous ces objets pourraient se transformer en projectiles et vous
occasionner des blessures graves, voire mortelles, en cas de déploiement
des coussins gonflables SRS en rideau.
● Si un recouvrement de vinyle est placé sur la zone de déploiement du
coussin gonflable SRS de protection des genoux, veillez à le retirer.
● N’tilisez pas d’ccessoires recouvrant les parties du siège où les coussins
gonflables SRS latéraux et le coussin gonflable SRS du coussin de siège
se déploient, car ces accessoires pourraient entraver le déploiement des
coussins SRS. De tels accessoires peuvent empêcher les coussins gon-
flables latéraux et le coussin gonflable du coussin de siège de se déployer
correctement, rendre le système inopérant ou provoquer accidentellement
le déploiement des coussins gonflables latéraux et du coussin gonflable
du coussin de siège, occasionnant des blessures graves, voire mortelles.
● Ne frappez pas et n’ppliquez pas une pression importante à l’mplacement
des composants des coussins gonflables SRS.
Vous risquez de provoquer un mauvais fonctionnement des coussins gon-
flables SRS.
● Ne touchez à aucun composant des coussins gonflables SRS immédiate-
ment après leur déploiement (gonflage), car ils pourraient être chauds.
● Si vous avez de la difficulté à respirer après le déploiement des coussins
gonflables SRS, ouvrez une portière ou une glace pour laisser entrer l’air,
ou quittez le véhicule si vous pouvez le faire en toute sécurité. Dès que
possible, nettoyez tous les résidus afin d’éviter les irritatio\
ns cutanées.
● Si les emplacements de stockage des coussins gonflables SRS, tels que
le tampon de volant et les garnitures des montants avant et arrière, sont
endommagés ou fissurés, faites-les remplacer par votre concessionnaire
Toyota.
● Ne placez aucun objet, par exemple un coussin, sur le siège du passager
avant. Cela disperserait le poids du passager, ce qui empêcherait le cap-
teur de le détecter correctement. Cela pourrait empêcher le déploiement
des coussins gonflables SRS du passager avant en cas de collision.
