This indicator comes on when the igni-
tion key is turned to the ªONº position.
It goes off after about 6 seconds. This
means the SRS side airbags and curtain
shield airbags are operating properly.This warning light system monitors the
airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sen-
sors, side and curtain shield airbag sen-
sors, curtain shield airbag sensors, driv-
er 's seat position sensor, driver 's seat belt
buckle switch, front passenger occupant
classification system and indicator light,
front passenger 's seat belt buckle switch,
seat belt pretensioner assemblies, inflat-
ors, warning light, ªRSCA OFFº indicator
light, interconnecting wiring and power
sources. (For details, see ªService remind-
er indicators and warning buzzersº on
page 162 in Section 1±6.)
If either of the following conditions occurs,
this indicates a malfunction of the airbags
or seat belt pretensioners. Contact your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

The light does not come on when the
ignition key is turned to the ªONº posi-
tion or remains on for more than 6
seconds.

The front passenger occupant classifi-
cation indicator light indicates the ac-
tuation of the front passenger airbag,
side airbag on the front passenger seat
and front passenger 's seat belt preten-
sioner.
The indicator light will indicate ªOFFº
when the ignition switch is in the ªONº
position with the condition 2 in the table
shown below.
If the front passenger occupant classifica-
tion system determines that a person of
adult size sits in the front passenger seat
but the ªOFFº indicator is illuminated, one
of the following is likely to have occurred:

A rear passenger lifts the front passen-
ger seat cushion with their legs.

Objects are placed under the front pas-
senger seat.

The front passenger seatback is in
contact with the rear seat.
To ensure the system correctly detects an
adult sitting in the front passenger seat,
make sure the above do not occur.
Make sure that the ªONº indicator is illu-
minated when an adult is seated in the
front passenger seat. If the ªOFFº indica-
tor is illuminated, ask the passenger to sit
up straight, well back in the seat, and
with the seat belt worn correctly. If the
ªOFFº indicator still remains illuminated,
either ask the passenger to move to the
rear seat, or if that is not possible, move
the front passenger seat fully rearward.
The front passenger occupant classifi-
cation indicator light will indicate ªONº
and ªOFFº when the ignition key is
turned to the ªONº position. After
about four seconds, it will go off. After
that, the front passenger occupant clas-
sification system operates and judges
whether to indicate ªONº or ªOFFº.
The SRS warning light will come on
and front passenger occupant classifi-
cation indicator light will indicate
ªOFFº if there is a malfunction in the
front passenger occupant classification
system.

buckle release button and allow the
belt to retract completely. The belt will
move freely again and be ready to
work for an adult or older child passen-
ger.(B) CONVERTIBLE SEAT INSTALLATION
A convertible seat must be used in for-
ward±facing or rear±facing position de-
pending on the age and size of the
child. When installing, follow the
manufacturer 's instructions about the
applicable age and size of the child as
well as directions for installing the
child restraint system.Install the child restraint system on the
front passenger seat only when it is un-
avoidable. Your vehicle is equipped with a
front passenger occupant classification
system. In order to activate the occupant
classification system correctly, install the
forward±facing child restraint system on
the front passenger seat in the following
order:
1. Turn the ignition key to the ªONº posi-
tion.
2. Move the front passenger seat to the
rearward position.
3. Put the child restraint system on the
front passenger seat without putting
your weight on the front passenger
seat.
4. Insert the seat belt tab into the seat
belt buckle.
5. Fully extend the shoulder belt to put it
in the lock mode. When the belt is
then retracted even slightly, it cannot
be extended. To hold the seat securely,
make sure the belt is in the lock mode
before letting the belt retract.
6. While pressing the convertible seat
firmly against the seat cushion and
seatback, let the shoulder belt retract
as far as it will go to hold the convert-
ible seat securely.

CAUTION
Push and pull the child restraint sys-
tem in different directions to be sure
it is secure. Follow all the installation
instructions provided by its manufac-
turer.
7. Put a child on the child restraint sys-
tem and secure the child, complying
with the instructions provided by the
child restraint system manufacturer.The occupant classification indicator light
should indicate ªOFFº when the ignition
key is in the ªONº position and the child
is in the child restraint system after fol-
lowing these procedures. The ªOFFº indi-
cator indicates the SRS front passenger
airbag and side airbag on the passenger
side will not deploy. If the indicator light
indicates ªONº, remove the child restraint
system and reinstall it with the ignition
key in the ªACCº or ªLOCKº position. If
the indicator light still indicates ªONº when
the ignition key is turned to the ªONº posi-
tion, then the SRS front passenger airbag
and side airbag on the passenger side
may deploy in an accident. Do not drive
the vehicle in this condition. Remove the
child restraint system and contact your
Toyota dealer.
CAUTION

Never install a rear±facing child re-
straint system on the front passen-
ger seat. A forward±facing child re-
straint system should only be
installed on the front passenger
seat when unavoidable. If you must
install the child restraint system on
the front passenger seat, put the
seat in its most rearward position,
and install the forward±facing child
restraint system in the proper or-
der. Otherwise, the front passenger
occupant classification system can
not detect the presence of the child
restraint system and the front pas-
senger airbag and side airbag on
the front passenger seat could
deploy.
