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 serious 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
deployment. This is just one example of how the instruc-
tions in Section 1 −3 of this Owner ’s Manual will help en-
sure proper use of the occupant restraint systems, and
increase the safety they can provide to you and your fami-
ly in the event of an accident.
Toyota recommends you to read the provisions in Section
1 −3 carefully and refer to them as needed during your time
of ownership of this vehicle.Event data recorder
Your vehicle has computers that monitor and control cer-
tain aspects of your vehicle. These computers assist in
driving and maintaining optimal vehicle performance. Be-
sides storing data useful for troubleshooting, there is a
system to record data in a crash or a near car crash
event. This is called an Event Data Recorder (EDR).
The SRS airbag sensor assembly contains the EDR. In a
crash or a near car crash event, this device records some
or all of the following information:
 Engine speed
 Whether the brake pedal was applied or not
 Vehicle speed
 To what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed
 Position of the transmission selector lever
 Whether the driver and front passenger wore the seat
belts or not
 Driver’s seat position
 Front passenger ’s occupant classification

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.

12. SRS warning light The airbag sensor assembly consists of a
safing sensor and airbag sensor.
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 infla-
tors very quickly fills the air bags with
non− toxic gas to help restrain the forward
motion of the occupants. The airbags then
quickly deflate, so that there is no ob-
struction of the driver ’s vision should it be
necessary to continue driving. When the airbags inflate, they produce a
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 imme-
diately. 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.

This on− off switch is designed to dis-
able the passenger airbag in order to
allow usage, if necessary, of a member
of a passenger risk group identified in
TABLE 1 is occupying the right front
passenger seating position. (For details,
see “SRS driver airbag and front pas-
senger airbag” in this Section.)
Operate on −off switch as follows:
Insert key into the keyhole.
To turn passenger airbag on—
Except for separate seat with automatic
transmission: Turn the key clockwise to
the “ON” position. At this time, the “ON”
indicator light comes on.
For separate seat with automatic transmis-
sion: Turn the key clockwise to the
“AUTO” position. At this time, the indicator
light condition varies depending on the oc-
cupant in the right front seat. (For details,
see “Front passenger occupant classifica-
tion system” in the Section.)
To turn passenger airbag off—Turn the
key counterclockwise to the “OFF” position
and remove it. At this time, the “OFF”
indicator light comes on. If the key is
removed at any other position than “OFF”,
the switch will automatically return to the
“ON” or “AUTO” position.
