Tires and loading on your
To y o t a
Underinflated or overinflated tire pressure and the
excess load may result in the deterioration of
steering ability and braking ability, leading to an
accident. Check the tire inflation pressure periodi-
cally and be sure to keep the load limits given in
this Owner 's Manual. For details about tire inflation
pressure and load limits, see pages 429 and 355.
Scrapping of your Toyota
The SRS airbag and front seat belt pretensioner devices
in your Toyota contain explosive chemicals. If the ve-
hicle is scrapped with the airbags and pretensioners left
as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire.
Be sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and
seat belt pretensioner removed and disposed of by a
qualified service shop or by your Toyota dealer before
you dispose of your vehicle.

The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) front airbags are designed to pro-
vide further protection for the driver
and front passenger in addition to the
primary safety protection provided by
the seat belts.
In response to a severe frontal impact,
the SRS front airbags work together with
the seat belts to help reduce injury by
inflating. The SRS front airbags help re-
duce injuries mainly to the driver's or front
passenger 's head or chest caused by hit-
ting the vehicle interior.
