ºPANICº SWITCH
Pushing the ºPANICº switch blows the
horn intermittently and flashes the
headlights and tail lights.
The ºPANICº switch is used to deter ve-
hicle theft when you witness anyone at-
tempting to break into or damage your
vehicle.
The alarm will last for one minute. To stop
alarm midway, push the ºPANICº switch
once again, unlock any door with the key
or transmitter, or turn the ignition key from
the ºLOCKº to ºONº position.
The ºPANICº mode does not work when
the key is inserted in the ignition switch.WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL TRANS-
MITTER
The wireless remote control transmitter is
an electronic component. Observe the fol-
lowing instructions in order not to cause
damage to the transmitter.

Do not leave the transmitter on places
where the temperature becomes high
such as on the dashboard.

Do not disassemble it.

Avoid knocking it hard against other
objects or dropping it.

Avoid putting it in water.
You can use up to 2 wireless remote con-
trol transmitters for the same vehicle.
Contact your Toyota dealer for detailed
information.
If the wireless remote control transmitter
does not actuate the doors or alarm, or
operate from a normal distance:

Check for closeness to a radio trans-
mitter such as a radio station or an
airport which can interfere with normal
operation of the transmitter.

The batteries may have been con-
sumed. Check the batteries in the
transmitter. To replace the batteries,
see ºReplacing transmitter batteriesº.REPLACING TRANSMITTER BATTERIES
For replacement, use DURACELL
) DL2016
batteries or equivalent.
CAUTION
Special care should be taken that
small children do not swallow the re-
moved transmitter batteries or compo-
nents.
NOTICE
When replacing the terminal batteries,
be careful not to lose the compo-
nents.
Replace the transmitter batteries by the
following procedures:

The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) airbags are designed to provide
further protection for the driver and
front passenger when added to the pri-
mary protection provided by the seat
belts.
In response to a severe frontal impact,
the SRS airbags work together with the
seat belts to help prevent or reduce injury
by inflating, in order to decrease the likeli-
hood of the driver 's or front passenger 's
head or chest directly hitting the steering
wheel or dashboard. The passenger airbag
is activated even with no passenger in the
front seat.
Be sure to wear your seat belt.
CAUTION
A driver or front passenger too close
to the steering wheel or dashboard
during airbag deployment can be
killed or seriously injured. Toyota
strongly recommends that:

The driver sit as far back as pos-
sible from the steering wheel while
still maintaining control of the ve-
hicle.

The front passenger sit as far back
as possible from the dashboard.

All vehicle occupants be properly
restrained using the available seat
belts.This indicator comes on when the igni-
tion key is turned to the ºACCº or
ºONº position. It goes off after about
6 seconds. This means the SRS airbags
are operating properly.
The SRS airbag warning light system
monitors the front airbag sensors, airbag
sensor assembly, inflators, warning light,
interconnecting wiring and power sources.
(For details, see ºService reminder indica-
tors and warning buzzersº in Chapter
1±5.)

The SRS airbags may deploy if a seri-
ous impact occurs to the underside of
your vehicle. Some examples are shown
in the illustration.The SRS airbag system mainly consists of
the following components and their loca-
tions are shown in the illustration.
1. Front airbag sensors
2. SRS airbag warning light
3. Airbag module for passenger (airbag
and inflator)
4. Airbag sensor assembly
5. Airbag module for driver (airbag and
inflator)
The airbag sensor assembly consists of a
safing sensor and airbag sensor.In a severe frontal impact, sensors detect
deceleration and the system triggers the
airbag inflators. Then a chemical reaction
in the inflators momentarily fills the air-
bags with non±toxic gas to help restrain
the forward motion of the occupants.
When the airbags inflate, they produce a
fairly loud noise and release some smoke
and residue along with non±toxic gas. This
does not indicate a fire. This gas is nor-
mally harmless, however, for those who
have delicate skin, it may cause minor
skin irritation. Be sure to wash off any
residue as soon as possible to prevent
minor skin irritation.
Deployment of the airbags happens in a
fraction of a second, so the airbags must
inflate with considerable force. While the
system is designed to reduce serious inju-
ries, it may also cause minor burns or
abrasions and swellings.
Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel
hub, dashboard) may be hot for several
minutes, but the airbags themselves will
not be hot. The airbags are designed to
inflate only once.

Do not sit on the edge of the seat
or lean over the dashboard when
the vehicle is in use. The airbags
inflate with considerable speed and
force; you may be killed or serious-
ly injured. Sit up straight and well
back in the seat, and always use
your seat belt.
Do not allow a child to stand up,
or to kneel on the front passenger
seat. The airbag inflates with con-
siderable speed and force; the child
may be killed or seriously injured.

Do not hold a child on your lap or
in your arms. Use a child restraint
system in the rear seat. For instruc-
tions concerning the installation of
a child restraint system, see ºChild
restraintº in this chapter.

Do not put objects or your pets on
or in front of the dashboard or
steering wheel pad that houses the
airbag system. They might restrict
inflation or cause death or serious
injury as they are projected rear-
ward by the force of deploying air-
bags. Likewise, the driver and front
passenger should not hold things in
their arms or on their knees.

Do not modify or remove any wir-
ing. Do not modify, remove, strike
or open any components such as
the steering wheel column cover,
front passenger airbag cover, front
passenger airbag, airbag sensor as-
sembly. Doing any of these may
cause sudden SRS airbag inflation
or disable the system, which could
result in death or serious injury.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death or serious inju-
ries.NOTICE
Do not perform any of the following
changes without consulting your
Toyota dealer. Such changes can
interfere with proper operation of the
SRS airbag system in some cases.
Installation of electronic items such
as a mobile two±way radio, cassette
tape player or compact disc player
Modification of the suspension sys-
tem
Modification of the front end struc-
ture
Attachment of a grille guard (bull
bar, kangaroo bar, etc.), snowplow,
winches or any other equipment to
the front end
Repairs made on or near the front
fenders, front end structure, con-
sole, steering column, steering
wheel or dashboard near the front
passenger airbag
This SRS airbag system has a service
reminder indicator to inform the driver of
operating problems. If either of the
following conditions occurs, this indicates
a malfunction of the airbags. Contact your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible to
service the vehicle.

The light does not come on when the
ignition key is turned to the ºACCº or
ºONº position, or remains on.

The light comes on while driving.

The following table contains all of the necessary information to correctly identify the type
of system installed, and where to go to get programming procedures for each vehicle.
NOTE:
Should a vehicle having both VIP and Factory systems available (as identified in the
following table) be brought in without any remotes (or one non±working remote), use
the following tips to help determine which type of wireless system (O.E. or PIO/DIO)
the vehicle has.
Look at the Trim Level of the vehicle. Higher±grade vehicles will tend to have O.E.
systems, while entry±grade vehicles will tend to have VIP. For example, the 2001
Camry XLE has Factory RKE, but the LE and CE grades have VIP.
Look for a ªStatus Monitorº with a glass breakage sensor and an LED externally
installed into the dashboard or on the center console. Most VIP systems will have
this.
Locate the ECU (refer to the applicable vehicle VIP Manual installation instructions
for location). Once located, refer to the part label.
Attempt to perform the factory wireless programming procedure to get a response
from the vehicle. Select the ªconfirmation modeº and see if any ªLock/Unlockº
response is received, if so, the vehicle has a factory system.
