■ When the battery is disconnected
Be sure to cancel the alarm system.
If the battery is discharged before canceling the alarm, the system may be
triggered when the battery is reconnected.
■ Alarm-operated door lock
In the following cases, depending on the situation, the door may automati-
cally lock to prevent improper entry into the vehicle:
● When a person remaining in the vehicle unlocks the door and the alarm
is activated.
● While the alarm is activated, a person remaining in the vehicle unlocks
the door.
● When recharging or replacing the battery.
■ Canceling and automatic re-enabling of the intrusion sensor
● The alarm will still be set even when the intrusion sensor is canceled.
● Vehicles without smart entry & start system: After the intrusion sensor is
canceled, turn the engine switch to the “ON” position or unlocking the
doors using the wireless remote control will re-enable the intrusion sen-
sor.
● Vehicles with smart entry & start system: After the intrusion sensor is
canceled, pressing the “ENGINE START STOP” switch or unlocking the
doors using the smart entry & start system or wireless remote control will
re-enable the intrusion sensor.
● When the alarm system is set again, the intrusion sensor will also be set.
■ Intrusion sensor considerations
The sensor may trigger the alarm in the following situations.
● Persons or pets are in the vehicle.

accessories or clothes hanging on the
coat hooks, are in the vehicle.
● The vehicle is parked in a place where
extreme vibrations or noises occur,
such as in a parking garage.

1-7. Safety information
Correct driving posture
Drive with a good posture as follows:
Sit upright and well back in
the seat. ( P. 8 4 )
Adjust the position of the
seat forward or backward to
ensure the pedals can be
reached and easily
depressed to the extent
required. ( P. 84)
Adjust the seatback so that
the controls are easily oper-
able.
Adjust the tilt and telescopic
positions of the steering
wheel downward so the
airbag is facing your chest.
( P. 104)
Lock the head restraint in
place with the center of the
head restraint closest to the
top of your ears. ( P. 9 4 )
Wear the seat belt correctly.
( P. 9 6 )

WARNING
■ While driving
● Do not adjust the position of the driver’s seat.
Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
● Do not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seatback.
A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce
the effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint, increasing the risk of
death or serious injury to the driver or passenger.
● Do not place anything under the front seats except for putting them in the
auxiliary box.
Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the seat
tracks and stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an acci-
dent, resulting in death or serious injury. The adjustment mechanism may
also be damaged.
■ Adjusting the seat position
● Do not recline the seat more than necessary when the vehicle is in motion,
to reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt.
If the seat is too reclined during an accident, the lap belt may slide past the
hips and apply restraint forces directly to the abdomen or your neck may
contact the shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury.
● Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passen-
gers are not injured by the moving seat.
● Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid
injury.
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.

SRS airbags
The SRS airbags inflate when the vehicle is subjected to certain
types of severe impacts that may cause significant injury to the
occupants. They work together with the seat belts to help reduce the
risk of death or serious injury.
SRS front airbags
SRS driver airbag/front passenger airbag
Can help protect the head and chest of the driver and front pas-
senger from impact with interior components.
SRS knee airbag
Can help provide driver protection.
SRS side and curtain shield airbags
SRS side airbags
Can help protect the torso of the front seat occupants.
SRS curtain shield airbags (if equipped)
Can help protect primarily the head of occupants in the outer
seats.

Airbag system components
The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The
SRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. As
the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the
airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occu-
pants.

■ If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
● Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may be sustained from SRS
airbags, due to the extremely high speed deployment (inflation) by hot
gases.
● A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.
● Vehicles without SRS curtain shield airbags: Parts of the airbag module
(steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats
may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.
● Vehicles with SRS curtain shield airbags: Parts of the airbag module
(steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats,
parts of the front and rear pillars, and roof side rails, may be hot for sev-
eral minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.
● The windshield may crack.
■ Operating conditions (SRS front airbags)
● The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds
the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approxi-
mately 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that
does not move or deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher in the following
situations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole,
which can move or deform on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an underride collision, such as a collision in
which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a
truck
● Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt
pretensioners will activate.
■ Operating conditions (SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags [if
equipped])
The SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags (if equipped) will deploy in
the event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force
corresponding to the impact force produced by an approximately 1500 kg
[3300 lb.] vehicle colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicu-
lar to the vehicle orientation at an approximate speed of 20 - 30 km/h
[12 - 18 mph]).
