2005 TOYOTA MR2 SPYDER airbag off

462005 MR2 from Aug. ’04Prod. (OM17527U)
The indicator comes on when the passen-
ger airbag system is off.
To check the airbag cut−off system status,
turn the ignition switch to the “ON” posi-
tion. The “AIRBAG” warning light and the
“OFF” indicator light should go on for
approximately 4 seconds. If the airbag
switch is turned off, the “OFF” indicator
will continue to illuminate, and if the air-
bag switch is turned on, the “OFF” indica-
tor will not illuminate.CAUTION
Make sure that the indicator light is
off.
Do not turn off the passenger air-
bag manual onoff switch except
when a member of a passenger risk
group identified in TABLE 1 (on
page 40) is occupying the passen-
ger seating position.
When the passenger airbag manual
onoff switch is turned off, the pas-
senger airbag will not inflate in a
collision and turning off the pas-
senger airbag can reduce the occu-
pant protection which your vehicle
safety systems can provide to you
in certain accidents and increase
the likelihood of serious personal
injuries.
For details, see “SRS driver airbag
and passenger airbag” on page 37 in
this Section.
Toyota strongly urges the use of ap-
propriate child restraint systems for
children.
The laws of all 50 states in the U.S.A.
now require the use of a child restraint
system.
Your vehicle conforms to SAEJ1819.
CAUTION
For effective protection in automo-
bile accidents and sudden stops, a
child must be properly restrained,
using a seat belt or child restraint
system depending on the age and
size of the child. Holding a child in
your arms is not a substitute for a
child restraint system. In an acci-
dent, the child can be crushed
against the windshield, or between
you and the vehicle’s interior.
Toyota strongly urges use of a
proper child restraint system that
conforms to the size of the child.

—Child restraint precautions

472005 MR2 from Aug. ’04Prod. (OM17527U)
Never install infant or child age 1
to 12 in a passenger risk group on
the passenger seat with the passen-
ger airbag manual onoff switch in
the “ON” position. In the event of
an accident, the force of the rapid
inflation of the passenger airbag
can cause death or serious injury
to the child.
If you must install infant or child
age 1 to 12 in a passenger risk
group on the passenger seat, make
sure the passenger airbag manual
onoff switch is in the “OFF”
position and that the indicator light
is on. (For details, see “SRS driver
airbag and passenger airbag” on
page 37 in this Section.Do not use the seat belt extender
when installing a child restraint
system on the passenger seat. If
installing a child restraint system
with the seat belt extender con-
nected to the seat belt, the seat
belt will not securely hold the child
restraint system, which could cause
death or serious injury to the child
or other passenger in the event of
collision.
Make sure you have complied with
all installation instructions provided
by the child restraint manufacturer
and that the system is properly se-
cured. If it is not secured properly,
it may cause death or serious injury
to the child in the event of a sud-
den stop or accident.
—Child restraint system
A child restraint system for a small
child or baby must be properly re-
strained on the seat with the lap por-
tion of the lap/shoulder belt. You must
carefully consult the manufacturer ’s in-
structions which accompany the child
restraint system.
To provide proper restraint, use a child
restraint system following the manufactur-
er ’s instructions about the appropriate age
and size of the child for the child restraint
system.
Install the child restraint system correctly
following the instructions provided by its
manufacturer. General directions are also
provided under the following illustrations.
When not using the child restraint system,
keep it secured with the seat belt or place
it in somewhere other than the passenger
compartment. This will prevent it from in-
juring passenger in the event of a sudden
stop or accident.
