In order to be effective, the SRS airbags must deploy with
tremendous speed. The rapid deployment of the SRS air-
bags makes the SRS airbags themselves potential sources
of injury if an occupant is too close to an airbag, or if an
object or some part of his or her body has been placed
between the occupant and the airbag at the time of deploy-
ment. This is just one example of how the instructions in
Section 1−3 of this Owner ’s Manual will help ensure proper
use of the occupant restraint systems, and increase the
safety they can provide to you and your family in the event
of an accident.
Toyota recommends you to read the provisions in Section
1 −3 carefully and refer to them from time to time during
