The power that deploys the
driver's/front passenger airbags
depends on the position of the
driver's/front passenger seat.
To maintain the accuracy of this
function, calibrate the electrical
front seats as soon as a respec-
tive message appears on the
control display.
For further information:
Electrically adjustable seats,
see page P.101.
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
supplement the seat belts, not
be used in place of them, to
increase their effectiveness as
an occupant protection device.
SRS is an acronym for Supplemen-
tal Restraint System
In the event of a collision, the
seat belts restrain the occupants
in their seats, but if the impact of
the collision is especially
severe, there is danger of an
occupant’s head and chest con-
tacting the steering wheel, dash- board 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
threshold is detected. In a colli-
sion, 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 emit-
ted by ignition or deployment
may cause temporary partial
loss of hearing. Also, as an air-
bag 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 air-
bags are designed to only

occupants in a collision is nec-

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

ating an air cushion to help
reduce the impact on the occu-
pants 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 ignition or
deployment may cause tempo-
rary partial loss of hearing. Also,
as an airbag and nearby parts

is not entirely risk free. There-
fore, in order to reduce this risk,
the airbags are designed to only
deploy when additional reduc-

occupants in a collision is nec-

If the force of the collision does
not cause the airbags to deploy,
the seatbelts will protect the
occupants.
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 P.164for 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 accessor ies near the
SRS side airbags.
If anything is attached to or left in
the deployment a rea 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 occu-
pant is leaning into this area, the
airbag may strike and injure the
head or arm of the occupant when
deploying.
WARNING
When using a cup holder, use the
use the existing cup holders in the
vehicle. Do not place anything but
appropriately sized containers
into the cup holders. Refrain from
placing hot drinks or glass con-
tainers in the cup holders as they
may cause burns or other injuries
in the event of a collision or sud-
den braking.

The explosive power that acti-
vates driver's/front-seat passen-
ger airbags very much depends
on the positions of the
driver's/front passenger seat.
To maintain the accuracy of this
function over the long term, cali-
brate the front seats as soon as
a respective message appears
on the Control Display. A corresponding message
appears on the Control Display.
1
Press the switch and move
the respective seat all the
way forward, until it stops.
2 Press the switch forward
again. The seat still moves
forward slightly.
3 Readjust the seat to the
desired position.
The calibration procedure is
completed when the message
on the Control Display disap-
pears.
If the message continues to be
displayed, repeat the calibration.
If the message does not disap-
pear after a repeat calibration,
have the system checked as
soon as possible.

Before transporting a child on
the front passenger seat, refer
to the safety information and
instructions for children on the
front passenger seat, see Chil-
dren.
When transporting older chil-
dren and adults, the front-seat
passenger airbags may be
deactivated in certain sitting
positions. In this case, the indi-
cator light for the front-seat pas-
senger airbags lights up.
In this case, change the sitting
position so that the front-seat
passenger airbags are acti-vated and the indicator light
goes out.
If it is not possible to activate the
airbags, have the person sit in
the rear.

Do not attach covers, cush-

to the front passenger seat
unless they are specifically
determined to be safe for use
on the front passenger seat.
 Do not place any electronic
devices on the front passen-

system is to be installed on it.
 Do not place objects under
the seat that could press
against the seat from below.
 No moisture in or on the seat.

WARNING
To ensure the front-seat passen-
ger airbag function, the system
must be able to detect whether a
person is sitting
in the front pas-
senger seat. The entire seat cush-
ion area must be used for this
purpose. There is a risk of injuries
or danger to life. Make sure that
the front passeng er keeps his or
her feet in the floor area.

The system generally detects
children seated in a child
restraint system, particularly in
child restraint systems required
by NHTSA at the point in time
when the vehicle was manufac-
tured. After installing a child
restraint system, make sure that
the indicator light for the
front-seat passenger airbags
lights up. This indicates that the
child restraint system has been
detected and the front-seat pas-
senger airbags are not acti-
vated.Toyota Supra Safety enables
central operation of the driver
assistance systems.
Depending on how the vehicle is
equipped, Toyota Supra Safety
consists of one or more systems
that can help prevent an immi-
nent collision.

WARNING
The system cannot serve as a
substitute for the driver’s personal
judgment in assessing the traffic
situation. Based on the limits of
the system, it cannot inde-
pendently react to all traffic situa-
tions. There is a risk of accident.
Adjust driving style to traffic condi-
tions. Watch the surrounding traf-
fic situation closely, be ready to
take over steering and braking at
any time, and actively intervene
where appropriate.
