The front passenger occupant classifi-
cation indicator light indicates the ac-
tuation of the front passenger airbag
and front passenger seat belt preten-
sioner.
The front passenger occupant classifi-
cation indicator light will indicate “ON”
and “OFF” when the ignition key is
turned to the “ON” position. After
about four seconds, it will go off. After
that, the front passenger occupant clas-
sification system operates and judges
whether to indicate “ON” or “OFF”.
The indicator light will indicate “OFF”
when the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position with the condition 2 in the table
shown below.If the front passenger occupant classifica-
tion system determines that a person of
adult size sits in the front passenger seat
but the “OFF” indicator is illuminated, one
of the following is likely to have occurred:
A rear passenger lifts the front passen-
ger seat cushion with their legs.
Objects are placed under the front pas-
senger seat.
Separate seats only—The front passen-
ger seatback is in contact with the rear
seat or the back wall.
To ensure that the system correctly de-
tects the presence or absence of a person
of adult size sitting in the front passenger
seat, make sure that none of the above
occur.
Make sure that the “ON” indicator is illu-
minated when a person of adult size is
seated in the right front passenger seat
(bench seat) or front passenger seat (sep-
arate seats). If the “OFF” indicator is illu-
minated, follow the procedure below: 1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Make sure the airbag off switch is set to the “AUTO” position. 3. Make sure the right front passenger
seat belt (bench seat) or front passen-
ger seat belt (separate seats) is worn
correctly.
4. Ask the right front passenger (bench seat) or front passenger (separate
seats) to adjust the seatback to the
upright position and to sit up straight
on the center of the seat cushion, with
his/her legs comfortably extended for-
ward.
5. Turn the ignition on, having the pas- senger remain in that position until the
front passenger occupant classification
system indicator light indicates “ON”.
If the “OFF” indicator remains illuminated,
either ask the passenger to move to the
rear seat, or if that is not possible, move
the front passenger seat fully rearward.

Regular and access cab models—
REGULAR CAB MODELS—
Toyota strongly urges use of a
proper child restraint system which
conforms to the size of the child.
ACCESS CAB MODELS—
Toyota strongly urges use of a
proper child restraint system which
conforms to the size of the child,
installed in the rear of the cabin
per the instructions in this manual.
According to accident statistics, the
child is safer when properly re-
strained in the rear of the vehicle
cabin than in the front.
Never put infant or child age 1 to
12 in a passenger risk group on the
right front passenger seat with the
passenger airbag off switch in the
“AUTO” position. In the event of an
accident, the force of the rapid
inflation of the front passenger air-
bag can cause death or serious in-
jury to the child.
If you must put infant or child age
1 to 12 in a passenger risk group
on the right front seat, make sure
that the passenger airbag off switch
is in the “OFF” position with the
key removed and that the indicator
light is on. (For details, see “SRS
driver airbag and front passenger
airbag” on page 55 in this Section.)
Do not use the seat belt extender
when installing a child restraint
system on the front passenger seat
or in the rear of the cabin. If instal-
ling a child restraint system with
the seat belt extender connected 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
passengers in the event of colli-
sion.
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.
Double cab models—
Toyota strongly urges use of a
proper child restraint system which
conforms to the size of the child,
installed on the rear seat. Accord-
ing to accident statistics, the child
is safer when properly restrained in
the rear seat than in the front seat.
Never install a rearfacing child re-
straint system on the front passen-
ger seat even if the front passenger
occupant classification indicator
light indicates “OFF”. In the event
of an accident, the impact of the
rapid inflation of the front passen-
ger airbag could cause death or se-
rious injury to the child if the rear
facing child restraint system is
installed on the front passenger
seat.

If the driver ’s seat position does
not allow sufficient space for safe
installation, install the child re-
straint system on the rear right
seat.

(B) CONVERTIBLE SEAT INSTALLATION
A convertible seat must be used in for-
wardfacing or rearfacing position de-
pending on the age and size of the
child. When installing, follow the
manufacturer ’s instructions about the
applicable age and size of the child as
well as directions for installing the
child restraint system.

child if the rearfacing child restraint
system is installed on the front pas-
senger seat.
