The pretensioners help the seat 
belts to quickly restrain the 
occupants by retracting the seat 
belts when the vehicle is sub-
jected to certain types of severe 
frontal or side collision or a vehi-
cle rollover.
The pretensioners do not activate 
in the event of a minor frontal 
impact, a minor side impact or a 
rear impact.
■Replacing the belt after the pre-
tensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is in volved in multiple 
collisions, the pret ensioner will acti- vate for the first collision, but will not 
activate for the 
second or subse-
quent collisions.

■Adjustable shoulder anchor
Always make sure the shoulder 
belt is positioned across the cen-
ter of your shoulder. The belt 
should be kept away from your 
neck, but not falling off your shoul-
der. Failure to do so could reduce 
the amount of protection in an 
accident and cause death or seri-
ous injuries in the event of a sud-
den stop, sudden swerve or 
accident.
Seat belt pretensioners 
(front seats)
WA R N I N G
■Seat belt pretensioners
Observe the following precautions 
to reduce the risk of injury in the 
event of sudden braking, sudden 
swerving or an accident.
Failure to do so may cause death 
or serious injury.
●Do not place anything, such as 
a cushion, on the front passen-
ger’s seat.
Doing so will disperse the pas-
senger’s weight, which prevents 
the sensor from detecting the 
passenger’s weight properly. As 
a result, the seat belt preten-
sioner for the fr ont passenger’s 
seat may not activate in the 
event of a collision.
●If the pretensioner has acti-
vated, the SRS warning light will 
come on. In that case, the seat 
belt cannot be used again and 
must be replaced at your Toyota 
dealer.

SRS warning light
Airbag sensor assembly
Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed 
based on the US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The 
airbag sensor assembly (ECU) cont rols airbag deployment based on 
information obtained from the sensors etc. shown in the system 
components diagram above. This in formation includes crash sever-
ity and occupant information. 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 occupants.
■If the SRS airbags deploy 
(inflate)
●Slight abrasions,  burns, bruising 
etc., may be sustained from SRS 
airbags, due to the extremely high 
speed deployment (inflation) by 
hot gases.
●A loud noise and white powder will 
be emitted.
●Parts of the airbag module (steer-
ing wheel hub, airbag cover and 
inflator) as well as the front seats, 
parts of the front  and rear pillars, 
and roof side rails, may be hot for 
several minutes. T he airbag itself 
may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●The brakes and st op lights will be 
controlled automatically. ( P.362)
●The interior lights will turn on auto-
matically. ( P.520)
●The emergency flashers will turn 
on automatically. ( P.612)
●Fuel supply to the engine will be 
stopped. (P.621)
●For Safety Connect subscribers, if 
any of the followin g situations  occur, the system is designed to 
send an emergency call to the 
response center, notifying them of 
the vehicle’s location (without 
needing to push the “SOS” button) 
and an agent will attempt to speak 
with the occupants to ascertain 
the level of emergency and assis-
tance required. If the occupants 
are unable to communicate, the 
agent automatically treats the call 
as an emergency and helps to dis-
patch the necessary emergency 
services. (
P. 6 5 )
• An SRS airbag is deployed.
• A seat belt pretensioner is acti- vated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe  rear-end collision.
■SRS airbag deployment condi-
tions (SRS front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy 
in the event of an impact that 
exceeds the set  threshold level 
(the level of forc e corresponding 
to an approximately 12-18 mph 
[20-30 km/h]  frontal collision with 
a fixed wall that does not move or 
deform).
However, this threshold velocity will
