Do not modify individual compo-
nents of the system or its wiring
in any way. This also applies to
the covers of the steering wheel,
the dashboard and seats.
Do not dismantle the airbag sys-
tem.
Even if all this information is
observed, depending on the cir-
cumstances in which an accident
occurs, certain injuries as a result
of contact with the airbag cannot be
entirely ruled out.
The noise caused by the deploy-
ment of an airbag may lead to tem-
porary hearing loss for vehicle
occupants sensitive to noise.
Have the system checked.
The airbags are not designed to be
used in place of the seat belts.
The SRS front airbags and SRS
knee airbags are designed to sup-
plement the seat belts, not be used
in place of them, to increase their Operational readiness of the
airbag system
Safety notes
WARNING
Individual components of the airbag
system may be hot after airbag
deployment. There is a danger of
injury. Do not touch individual compo-
nents.
WARNING
Work carried out incorrectly can lead
to a failure, a malfunction or acciden-
tal deployment of the airbag system. If
there is a malfunction, the airbag sys-
tem might not deploy as intended in
an accident, in spite of the accident
being of the appropriate severity.
There is a danger of injury or even
death. Have the airbag system tested,
repaired or removed and disposed of
by any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
Display in the instrument cluster
When drive-ready state is
switched on, the warning
lamp in the instrument cluster
briefly illuminates in order to
show the operational readi-
ness of the entire airbag sys-
tem and the belt tensioners.
Malfunction
The warning lamp does not
illuminate after drive-ready
state is switched on.
The warning lamp is per-
manently illuminated.

effectiveness as an occupant pro-
tection device.
SRS is an acronym for Supplemental
Restraint System
In the event of a collision, the seat
belts restrain the occupants in their
seats, but if the impact of the colli-
sion is especially severe, there is
danger of an occupant’s head and
chest contacting the steering
wheel, dashboard and windshield.
In this case, the SRS front airbags
and SRS knee airbags deploy
(inflate), instantly creating an air
cushion to help reduce the impact
on the occupants and restrain them
from contacting the steering wheel,
etc. with their head, chest and
knees.
The SRS front air bags and SRS
knee airbags deploy only when an
impact exceeding a certain thresh-
old is detected. In a collision, even
if the impact is severe enough to
cause the vehicle body to deform,
the SRS airbags may not deploy if
the impact of the collision is suffi-
ciently dispersed by the crash
structures of the vehicle body. If the
force of the collision does not cause
the airbags to deploy, the seatbelts
will protect the occupants.
When an airbag deploys, as it will
inflate nearly instantly, it may
impact an occupant and cause an
injury, or the loud noise emitted by
ignition or deployment may cause
temporary partial loss of hearing. Also, as an airbag and nearby parts
will be extremely hot after the
airbag deploys, touching them may
cause burns. For these reasons,
deployment of the airbags is not
entirely risk free. Therefore, in
order to reduce this risk, the
airbags are designed to only deploy
when additional reduction of the
impact applied to the occupants in
a collision is necessary.
WARNING
Wear the seatbelt correctly and sit
with the correct posture.
If you sit with your head too close to
the steering wheel, when the SRS
front airbag deploys, it may apply a
very large impact to your body. Sit in
the driver’s seat with the correct pos-
ture and keep an appropriate distance
away from the steering wheel.

CONTROLSWhen the vehicle is involved in a
frontal collision which exceeds a
threshold equivalent to colliding
with a concrete wall which does not
move or deform
When an impact which exceeds a
threshold is applied to the vehicle at
an angle of 30 degrees or less of
the front left or right corner of the
vehicle (A)
WARNING
Do not position the passenger’s seat
too close to the dashboard or rest
your feet on the dashboard, as doing
so may lead to a serious injury if the
SRS airbags deploy. Sit in the pas-
senger’s seat with the correct posture
and keep an appropriate distance
away from the dashboard.
WARNING
Do not attach anything to or lean any-
thing against areas near the SRS
airbags.
Do not install or attach anything, such
as a sticker to areas such as the
steering wheel pad and near the SRS
knee airbags. Also, do not attach any
accessories, such as an air freshener,
to the passenger’s side instrument
panel or place anything on the floor in
front of the seat. If anything is
attached to or left in these areas, they
may prevent an airbag from deploying
or become a projectile when the
airbags deploy.

The airbags are not designed to be
used in place of the seat belts.The SRS side airbags and SRS
curtain shield airbags are designed
to deploy and protect the torso and
head of occupants when a severe
impact is applied to the side of the
vehicle.
In the event of a side collision, the
SRS side airbag and SRS curtain
shield airbag on that side deploys
(inflates), instantly creating an air
cushion to help reduce the impact
on the occupants and restrain them
from contacting the door window,
door, etc. with their head and torso.
When an airbag deploys, as it will
inflate nearly instantly, it may
impact an occupant and cause an
injury, or the loud noise emitted by

the road
WARNING
Do not install seat covers which are
not designed for use with this vehicle,
or attach a cushion or any other
accessory to either front seat or hang
anything on either front seatback. Do
not place objects around the side of
either front seat. Refer to 179 for the
installation position of the SRS side
airbags.
WARNING
Do not lean against the door or door
window.
Also, do not install a cup holder or any
other accessories near the SRS side
airbags.
If anything is attached to or left in the
deployment area of an SRS side
airbag, the airbag may be prevented
from deploying or the object may
become a projectile when the airbag
deploys, possibly leading to injury.
Also, if an occupant is leaning into
this area, the airbag may strike and
injure the head or arm of the occupant
when deploying.
When using a cup holder, use the use
the existing cup holders in the vehicle.
Do not place anything but appropri-
ately sized containers into the cup
holders. Refrain from placing hot
drinks or glass containers in the cup
holders as they may cause burns or
other injuries in the event of a colli-
sion or sudden braking.

The front and side airbags for the
front passenger can be deacti-
vated and reactivated using the
integrated key from the remote con-
trol.
The key switch for front passenger
airbags is located on the outside of the
dashboard.
1Insert the key and press inwards
where necessary.
2While the key is pressed
inwards, turn it to the OFF posi-
tion as far as it will go. Once the stop position has been reached,
remove the key.
3Make sure that the key switch is
in the end position so that the
airbags are deactivated.
The front passenger airbags are
deactivated. The driver's airbags
remain active.
If a child restraint system is no
longer fitted in the front passenger
seat, reactivate the front passenger
airbags so that they are triggered
as intended in the event of an acci-
dent.
The airbag status is displayed on
the indicator lamp on the roof lining,
see page 190.

The front passenger airbags are
reactivated and can deploy cor-
rectly if the need arises.
The indicator lamp for the front pas-
senger airbags in the roof lining
shows the operating status of the
front passenger airbags.
After switching on the drive-ready
state, the light illuminates briefly
and then shows whether the
airbags are activated or deacti-
vated.
The active pedestrian protection
system raises the bonnet if the
vehicle's front end collides with a pedestrian. Sensors underneath
the bumper are used for detection.
When the pedestrian protection
system is triggered, it creates
deformation space underneath the
bonnet for the subsequent head
impact. Indicator lamp for front pas-

WARNING
The system can trigger inadvertently
if contact is made with individual com-
ponents of the hinges and bonnet
locks. There is a danger of injury or
damage to property. Do not touch

and bonnet locks.
WARNING
Changes to the pedestrian protection
system can lead to a failure, a mal-
