AVERTISSEMENT
●Si les emplacements de stock-
age 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 pas-
sager, ce qui empêcherait le
capteur de le détecter correcte-
ment. Cela pourrait empêcher le
déploiement des coussins gon-
flables SRS du passager avant
en cas de collision.
■Modification et mise au rebut
des composants du système
de coussins gonflables SRS
Ne mettez pas votre véhicule au
rebut et n’effectuez aucune des
modifications suivantes sans
d’abord consulter votre conces-
sionnaire Toyota. Les coussins

accidentellement, ce qui serait
susceptible d’occasionner des
blessures graves, voire mortelles.

et réparation des coussins gon-
flables SRS

planche de bord, des sièges ou

lon, des panneaux des portières
avant, des garnitures des
portières avant ou des haut-
parleurs des portières avant

forer)
