seat passenger airbags, refer to
page 175.Pay attention to the specifica-
tions and the operating and

cause child restraint systems and
their components to become very
hot. Persons may sustain burn
injuries when touching the hot
components. There is a risk of
injury. Do not e
xpose the child
restraint system to direct sunlight
or cover where necessary. If nec-

General information
Safety information
WARNING
Active front-seat passenger air-
bags can injure a child in a child
restraint system when the airbags
are activated. There is a risk of
injury. Make sure that the
front-seat passenger airbags are
deactivated and that the PAS-
SENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator
light lights up.
The safety bel t cannot be fas-
tened correctly on children shorter
than 5 ft, 150 cm without suitable
additional child restraint systems.
The efficacy of safety gear, includ-
ing safety belts, can be limited or
lost when safety belts are fas-
tened incorrectly. An incorrectly
fastened safety belt can cause
additional injuries, for instance in
the event of an accident or during
braking and evasive maneuvers.
There is a risk of injuries or dan-
ger to life. Secure children shorter
than 5 ft, 150 cm using suitable

Before installing a child restraint
system in the front passenger
seat, make sure that the front,
knee and side airbags on the
front passenger side are deacti-
vated.

senger airbags automatically,
refer to page 175.
After installing a child restraint
system, move the front passen-
ger seat as far back as it will go
and, if possible, bring it up to
medium height. This seat posi-
tion and height ensure the best
possible position for the belt and
offers optimal protection in the
event of an accident.
If the upper anchor of the safety
belt is located in front of the belt
guide of the child seat, move the
front passenger seat carefully
Safety information

the event of an a
ccident or brak-
ing and evasive maneuvers.
There is a risk o f injuries or dan-
ger to life. Do not use child
restraint systems which have
been damaged or e xposed to an
accident. If a child restraint sys-
tem and its fastening system has
been damaged or e xposed to an
accident, have these systems
checked and replaced by your
Toyota dealer.

system is limited or compromised
with incorrect seat adjustment or
improper installati on of the child
seat. There is a risk of injuries or
danger to life. Make sure that the

4 Curtain shield airbag
5 Side airbag
Front airbags help protect the
driver and the front passenger
by responding to frontal impacts
in which safety belts alone
would not provide adequate pro-
tection.
In the event of a side impact, the
side airbag protects the side of
the body in the chest, lap, and
head area. The knee airbag protects the
legs in the event of a frontal
impact.
The curtain shield airbag sup-
ports the head in the event of a
side-on crash.

Do not hang pieces of cloth-
ing, such as jackets, over the
backrests.
 Never modify either the indi-
vidual components or the wir-
ing in the airbag system. This
also applies to steering wheel
covers, the dashboard, and
the seats.
 Do not remove the airbag sys-
tem.
Even when you follow all
instructions very closely, injury
from contact with the airbags
cannot be fully ruled out in cer-
tain situations.
The ignition and inflation noise
may lead to short-term and, in
most cases, temporary hearing
impairment in sensitive occu-
pants.
Vehicle modifications for a per-
son with disabilities may affect
the air bag system; contact the
Toyota dealer for further infor-
mation.

Safety information
WARNING
Individual components can be hot
after triggering of the airbag sys-
tem. There is a risk of injury. Do
not touch individual components.
WARNING
Improperly executed work can
lead to failure, malfunction or
unintentional triggering of the air-
bag system. In the case of a mal-
function, the airbag system might
not trigger as intended despite the
accident severity. There is a risk
of injuries or danger to life. Have
the airbag system checked,
repaired, dismantled and
scrapped by your Toyota dealer.
Display in the instrument
cluster
When drive-ready state is
switched on, the warning
light in the instrument
cluster lights up briefly and
thereby indicates the func-
tion readiness of the entire
airbag system and the belt
tensioners.
