Passenger airbag off switch (Access Cab models)
The passenger airbag off switch is designed to disable the front pas-
senger airbag in order to allow usage, if necessary, of the front pas-
senger seat by a member of a passenger risk group identified in
TABLE 1 is occupying the front passenger seating position (P. 97).
AUTO position
This position makes the front pas-
senger airbag system opera-
tional.
At this time, the indicator light
condition varies depending on the
size of the occupant in the front
passenger seat.
OFF position
The front passenger airbag is dis-
abled.
At this time, the AIR BAG OFF
indicator light will come on.
■Operation of the passenger airbag off switch
Turn the key clockwise to the
AUTO position.
Turn the key counterclock-
wise to the OFF position and
remove it.
If the key is removed at any other

Before driving
CAUTION
■Child restraint precautions
●Regular Cab models: Toyota strongly urges use of a proper child restraint
system which conforms to the size of the child.
●Access Cab and Double Cab models: Toyota strongly urges the use of a
proper child restraint system that conforms to the size of the child, installed
on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
●Access Cab models: Never put infant or child age 1 to 12 in a passenger
risk group on the front passenger seat with the passenger airbag off switch
in the AUTO position. In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid
inflation of the front passenger airbag can cause death or serious injury to
the child. If you must put infant or child age 1 to 12 in a passenger risk
group on the front passenger seat, make sure that the passenger airbag
off switch is in the OFF position with the key removed and that the indica-
tor light is on. (P. 97)
●Regular Cab and Double Cab models: Never install a rear-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger seat even if the AIR BAG OFF
indicator light is illuminated. In the event of an accident, the force of the
rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag can cause death or serious
injury to the child if the rear-facing child restraint system is installed on the
front passenger seat.

110 1-7. Safety information
CAUTION
■Child restraint precautions
●Double Cab models: A forward-facing child restraint system may be
installed on the front passenger seat only when it is unavoidable. A child
restraint system that requires a top tether strap should not be used in the
front passenger seat since there is no top tether strap anchor for the front
passenger seat. Adjust the seatback as upright as possible and always
move the seat as far back as possible even if AIR BAG OFF indicator light
is illuminated, because the front passenger airbag could inflate with con-
siderable speed and force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously
injured.
●Access Cab models: A forward-facing child restraint system which belongs
to a passenger risk group should never be installed on the front passenger
seat with the passenger airbag off switch in the AUTO position, because
the force of the deploying airbag could cause death or serious injury to the
child in forward seating position. (P. 97)
●Regular Cab models: Do not install a child restraint system on the center
seat if it interferes with driving operations such as gear shifting. In this
case, install the child restraint system on the right passenger seat.
●Access Cab models: Never install a
rear-facing child restraint system on the
front passenger seat with the passen-
ger airbag off switch in the AUTO posi-
tion. In the event of an accident, the
force of the rapid inflation of the front
passenger airbag can cause death or
serious injury to the child if the rear-fac-
ing child restraint system is installed on
the front passenger seat.
●Access Cab models: If you must install
a rear-facing child restraint system on
the front passenger seat, make sure
that the passenger airbag off switch is
in the OFF position with the key
removed and that the indicator light is
on.

Before driving
Installing the child restraint system on the front passenger seat
(Access Cab models)
When you install a child restraint system which belongs to a passen-
ger risk group on the front passenger seat, do the following proce-
dure.
Turn the passenger airbag off
switch counterclockwise to the
OFF position and remove the
key.
The AIR BAG OFF indicator light

ger airbag system is off. (P. 96)
CAUTION
■Rear-facing child restraint system
If you must install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger
seat, make sure that the passenger airbag off switch is in the OFF position
with the key removed and that the indicator light is on.
■Forward-facing child restraint system
A forward-facing child restraint system which belongs to a passenger risk
group should never be installed on the front passenger seat with the passen-
ger airbag off switch in the AUTO position, because the force of the deploy-
ing airbag could cause death or serious injury to the child in forward seating
position. (P. 97)
