The front airbag sensors constantly moni-
tor the forward deceleration of the vehicle.
If an impact results in a forward decelera-
tion beyond the designed threshold level,
the system triggers the airbag inflators. At
this time a chemical reaction in the inflat-
ors very quickly fills the airbags with non−
toxic gas to help restrain the forward mo-
tion of the occupants. The front airbags
then quickly deflate, so that there is no
obstruction of the driver ’s vision should it
be necessary to continue driving.
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 smoke may
remain inside the vehicle for some time,
and may cause some minor irritation to
the eyes, skin or breathing. Be sure to
wash off any residue as soon as possible
to prevent any potential skin irritation with
soap and water.
If you can safely exit from the vehicle,
you should do so immediately. Deployment of the airbags happens in a
fraction of a second, so the airbags must
inflate with considerable force. While the
system is desi
gned to reduce serious inju-
ries, primarily to the head and chest, it
may also cause other, less severe injuries
to the face, chest, arms and hands. These
are usually in the nature of minor burns
or abrasions and swelling, but the force of
a deploying airbag can cause more seri-
ous injuries, especially if an occupant’s
hands, arms, chest or head is in close
proximity to the airbag module at the time
of deployment. This is why it is important
for the occupant to: avoid placing any
object or part of the body between the
occupant and the airbag module; sit
straight and well back into the seat; wear
the available seat belt properly; and sit as
far as possible from the airbag module,
while still maintaining control of the ve-
hicle.
Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel
hub, airbag cover and inflator) may be hot
for several minutes after deployment, so
do not touch! The airbags inflate only
once. The windshield may be damaged by
absorbing some of the force of the inflat-
ing airbag.CAUTION
A driver or front passenger who is
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
possible from the steering wheel
while still maintaining control of
the vehicle.
The front passenger sit as far
back as possible from the dash-
board.
All vehicle occupants be properly
restrained using the available
seat belts.

Do not hold a child on your lap
or in your arms. Use a child re-
straint system in the rear seat.
For instructions concerning the
installation of a child restraint
system, see “Child restraint” on
page 79.
Do not put anything or any part
of your body on or in front of
the dashboard or steering wheel
pad that houses the front airbag
system. They might restrict infla-
tion or cause death or serious
injury as they are projected rear-
ward by the force of deploying
airbags. Likewise, the driver and
front passenger should not hold
objects in their arms or on their
knees.
Do not modify or remove any
wiring. Do not modify, remove,
strike or open any components
such as the steering wheel pad,
steering wheel, column cover,
dashboard near the front passen-
ger airbag, front passenger air-
bag or airbag sensor assembly.
Doing so may prevent the front
airbag system from activating
correctly, cause sudden activa-
tion of the system or disable the
system, resulting in death or se-
rious injury.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death or serious injury.
Consult your Toyota dealer about any
repair and modification.

This indicator comes on when the igni-
tion key is turned to the “ON” position.
It goes off after about 6 seconds. This
means the SRS front airbags are oper-
ating 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, seat belt pretensioner as-
semblies, inflators, warning light, roll sens-
ing of curtain shield airbags off indicator
light, interconnecting wiring and power
sources. (For details, see “Service remind-
er indicators and warning buzzers” on
page 126.) 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.
When the ignition key is turned to the
“ON” position, the light does not come
on, remains on or flashes.
The light comes on or starts flashing
while driving.

In the following cases, contact your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible:
The SRS airbags have been inflated.
The front of the vehicle (shaded in the
illustration) was involved in an accident
that was not severe enough to cause
the SRS airbags to inflate.

or dashboard (shaded in the illustra-
tion) is scratched, cracked, or other-
wise damaged.
NOTICE
Do not disconnect the battery cables
before contacting your Toyota dealer.

The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) side airbags and curtain shield air-
bags are designed to provide further
protection for the driver, front passen-
ger and second seat passengers in
addition to the primary safety protec-
tion provided by the seat belts. In response to a severe side impact, the
SRS side airbags and curtain shield air-
bags on impacted side work with the seat
belts to help reduce injury by inflating.
The SRS side airbags help reduce injuries
mainly to the driver’s or front passenger’s
chest and the SRS curtain shield airbags
help reduce injuries mainly to the driver ’s,
front passenger ’s or second seat passen-
ger’s head and can help the driver, front
passenger and second seat passengers to
retain inside the vehicle.
Roll sensing function:
In response to a vehicle rollover, the SRS
curtain shield airbags on both sides work
with the seat belts to help reduce injury
by inflating. The SRS curtain shield air-
bags help reduce injuries mainly to the
driver ’s, front passenger ’s or second seat
passenger ’s head and can help the driver,
front passenger and second seat passen-
gers to retain inside the vehicle.
The SRS side and curtain shield airbags
on the passenger side are activated even
with no passenger in the front seat.
Always wear your seat belt properly.
