The indicator lamp goes off after driving
several times. If the indicator lamp does
not go off, contact your Toyota dealer as

The passenger airbag system is
equipped with a manual on −off switch
and indicator light. Turning the passen-
ger airbag manual on −off switch clock-
wise to the “ON” or “AUTO” position
makes the passenger airbag system op-
erational. To disable the passenger air-
bag system, turn the manual on −off
switch counterclockwise to the “OFF”
position and remove the key. The indi-
cator light on the passenger airbag
manual on− off switch will come on
when the passenger airbag system has
been disabled.
See “Passenger airbag manual on −off
switch” in this Section for detail.
CAUTION
Do not turn off the passenger air-
bag manual on− off switch except
when a member of a passenger risk
group identified in TABLE 1 is oc-
cupying the right front passenger
seating position.
When the passenger airbag manual
on− off 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 death or serious
personal injuries.
