1: The system judges a person of adult size as an adult. When a smaller adult sits in the front passenger seat, the system may
recognize him/her as a child depending on his/her physique and posture.
*
2: When a larger child who has outgrown a child restraint system sits in the front passenger seat, the system may recognize him/her
as an adult depending on his/her physique or posture.
*
3: Never install a rear±facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat. A forward±facing child restraint system should only be
installed on the front passenger seat when it is unavoidable. (See ªChild restraintº on page 107 in this Section as for installing the
child restraint system.)

When it is unavoidable to install the
forward±facing child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat,
install the child restraint system on
the front passenger seat in the
proper order. (As for the installation
order, see ªÐInstallation with seat
beltº on page 110 in this Section.)

Do not remove the seat.

Do not kick the front passenger
seat or subject it to severe impact.
Otherwise, the SRS warning light
may come on to indicate a malfunc-
tion of the detection system. In this
case, contact your Toyota dealer im-
mediately.
The front passenger occupant classifica-
tion indicator light may indicate ªONº (the
front passenger airbag and side airbag on
the front passenger seat may deploy)
even if observing the above cautions,
when a child sits in, or a forward±facing
child restraint system is installed on the
front passenger seat. Refer to all the cau-
tions in ªSRS driver airbag and front pas-
senger airbagº on page 86 and ªChild re-
straintº on page 107 in this Section.
The roll sensing of curtain shield air-
bags off switch (ªRSCA OFFº switch)
can turn off the curtain shield airbags
and seat belt pretensioners in a vehicle
rollover. This switch should only be
used if inflation is not desired (such as
extreme off±road driving).When you push the ªRSCA OFFº switch
for a few seconds with the ignition switch
on, the ªRSCA OFFº indicator light comes
on and the roll sensing function is turned
off. When you push the switch again, the
indicator light goes off and the roll sens-
ing function is turned on. (For details
about the roll sensing function, see ªSRS
side airbags and curtain shield airbagsº on
page 93 in this Section.)
In a severe side impact, the curtain shield
airbags on impacted side will inflate even
if the roll sensing function is turned off.
(For details about the curtain shield air-
bags, see ªSRS side airbags and curtain
shield airbagsº on page 93 in this Sec-
tion.)
In a severe frontal impact, the seat belt
pretensioners will work even if the roll
sensing function is turned off. (For details
about the seat belt pretensioners, see
ªÐSeat belt pretensionersº on page 83 in
this Section.)
If the ignition switch is turned to ªACCº or
ªLOCKº with the roll sensing function off
and then the ignition switch is turned back
to ªONº, the roll sensing function will turn
back on automatically.
