Your vehicle is equipped with a front
passenger occupant classification sys-
tem. The system detects conditions
1—4 (shown in the following table).
Based on these conditions, the systems
below are activated or deactivated:
Front passenger airbag
Side airbag on the front passenger
seat
Front passenger ’s seat belt pretension-
er
The system monitors the weight and
load on the right front passenger seat,
and the seat belt buckle switch to de-
termine conditions 1—4.
In order to ensure that the system de-
tects the conditions correctly:
Do not apply pressure to the front pas-
senger seat by resting hands or legs
on the seatback.
Do not use a seat accessory, such as
a cushion or seat cover, that covers
the seat cushion surface.
The front passenger occupant classifi-
cation indicator light indicates the ac-
tuation of the front passenger airbag,
side airbag on the front passenger seat
and front passenger ’s 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.
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.
If the “OFF” indicator is illuminated, follow
the procedure below:
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. If your vehicle is a standard cab mod- el, make sure the passenger airbag off
switch is set to the “AUTO” position.
3. Make sure the right front passenger seat belt is worn correctly.
4. Ask the right front passenger 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 forward.
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 right passenger to move to
the rear seat, or if that is not possible,
move the front right passenger seat fully
rearward.

When it is unavoidable to install the
forwardfacing child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat,
install the child restraint system on
the front passenger seat in the
proper order. (As for the installation
order, see “—Installation with seat
belt” in this Section.)
Do not modify or remove the front
seats.
Do not kick the front passenger
seat or subject it to severe impact.
Otherwise, the SRS warning light
may come on to indicate a malfunc-
tion of the detection system. In this
case, contact your Toyota dealer im-
mediately.
The front passenger occupant classifica-
tion indicator light may indicate “ON” (the
front passenger airbag and side airbag on
the front passenger seat may deploy)
even if observing the above cautions,
when a child sits in, or a forward −facing
child restraint system is installed on the
front passenger seat. Refer to all the cau-
tions in “SRS driver airbag and front pas-
senger airbag”, “SRS side airbags and
curtain shield airbags” and “Child restraint”
in this Section.
The roll sensing of curtain shield air-
bags off switch (“RSCA OFF” switch)
can turn off the curtain shield airbags
and seat belt pretensioners in a vehicle
rollover. This switch should only be
used if inflation is not desired (such as
extreme offroad driving).
When you push the “RSCA OFF” switch
for a few seconds with the ignition switch
on, the “RSCA OFF” indicator light comes
on and the roll sensing function is turned
off. When you push the switch again, the
indicator light goes off and the roll sens-
ing function is turned on. (For details
about the roll sensing function, see “SRS
side airbags and curtain shield airbags” in
this Section.)

In a severe side impact, the curtain shield
airbags on impacted side will inflate even
if the roll sensing function is turned off.
(For details about the curtain shield air-
bags, see “SRS side airbags and curtain
shield airbags” in this Section.)
In a severe frontal impact, the seat belt
pretensioners will work even if the roll
sensing function is turned off. (For details
about the seat belt pretensioners, see
“—Seat belt pretensioners” in this Sec-
tion.)
If the ignition switch is turned to “ACC” or
“LOCK” with the roll sensing function off
and then the ignition switch is turned back
to “ON”, the roll sensing function will turn
back on automatically.CAUTION
Before normal driving, make sure
the “RSCA OFF” indicator light is
off.
When the roll sensing function is
turned off (and the “RSCA OFF”
indicator light is on), the curtain
shield airbags and seat belt preten-
sioners will not work in a vehicle
rollover. Turning off the curtain
shield airbags and seat belt preten-
sioners reduces occupant protection
which your vehicle safety systems
can provide in accidents and in-
crease the likelihood of death or
serious injuries.
Toyota strongly urges the use of ap-
propriate child restraint systems for
children.
The laws of all 50 states in the U.S.A.
and Canada now require the use of a
child restraint system.
Your vehicle conforms to SAEJ1819.
If a child is too large for a child restraint
system, the child should sit in the rear
seat and must be restrained using the
vehicle’s seat belt. See “Seat belts” in this
Section for details.

(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. Install the child restraint system on the
front passenger seat only when it is un-
avoidable. Your vehicle is equipped with a
front passenger occupant classification
system. In order to activate the occu
pant
classification system correctly, install the
forward −facing child restraint system on
the front passenger seat in the following
order:
1. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” posi- tion.
2. Move the front passenger seat to the rearward position if possible.
3. When it is unavoidable, put the child restraint system on the front passenger
seat without putting your weight on the
front passenger seat.
4. Insert the seat belt tab into the seat belt buckle.
5. Fully extend the shoulder belt to put it in the lock mode. When the belt is
then retracted even slightly, it cannot
be extended. To hold the seat securely,
make sure the belt is in the lock mode
before letting the belt retract. 6. While pressing the convertible seat
firmly against the seat cushion and
seatback, let the shoulder belt retract
as far as it will go to hold the convert-
ible seat securely.
CAUTION
Push and pull the child restraint sys-
tem in different directions to be sure
it is secure. Follow all the installation
instructions provided by its manufac-
turer.
7. Put a child on the child restraint sys-tem and secure the child, complying
with the instructions provided by the
child restraint system manufacturer.

The occupant classification indicator light
should indicate “OFF” when the ignition
key is in the “ON” position and the child
is in the child restraint system after fol-
lowing these procedures. The “OFF” indi-
cator indicates the SRS front passenger
airbag and side airbag on the passenger
side will not deploy. If the indicator light
indicates “ON”, follow the procedure be-
low:
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Remove the child restraint system.
3. When reinstalling a child restraint sys- tem, make sure the seatback does not
press the child restrains system into
the seat cushion. If this occurs, adjust
the seat back angle slightly.
4. Then make sure the head restraint is not pressing the child restrains system
into the seat cushion. If this occurs
raise the head restraint.
5. Turn the ignition on again. The front passenger occupant classifica-
tion indicator light should indicate “OFF”.
If the indicator light still indicates “ON”
when the ignition key is turned to the
“ON” position, then the SRS front passen-
ger airbag and side airbag on the passen-
ger side may deploy in an accident. Do
not drive the vehicle in this condition. Re-
move the child restraint system and con-
tact your Toyota dealer.
CAUTION
Never install a rearfacing child re-
straint system on the front passen-
ger seat. A forwardfacing child re-
straint system should only be
installed on the front passenger
seat when unavoidable. If you must
install the child restraint system on
the front passenger seat, put the
seat in its most rearward position,
and install the forwardfacing child
restraint system in the proper or-
der. Otherwise, the front passenger
occupant classification system can
not detect the presence of the child
restraint system and the front pas-
senger airbag and side airbag on
the front passenger seat could
deploy.
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.

Adjust the mirror so that you can just
see the rear of your vehicle in the mir-
ror.
This mirror is equipped with auto anti
glare function. The function is designed
to reduce glare from the headlights of
the vehicle behind you during night
driving.
When the ignition key is inserted and
turned on, the inside rear view mirror al-
ways turns on in the automatic function
mode.
The indicator illuminates to show you that
the function is on. In automatic function mode, if the mirror
detects light from the headlights of the
vehicle behind you, the mirror surface
darkens slightly to reduce the reflected
light.
To turn off the automatic function, push
the “OFF” switch.
To turn on the automatic function again,
push the “AUTO” switch.
Adjust it before driving so that the rear
view is in the best condition.
When the inside air temperature is low, it
may take a little longer for the mirror to
darken in response to the detection of
headlights.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the mirror while the
vehicle is moving. Doing so may
cause the driver to mishandle the ve-
hicle and an accident may occur re-
sulting in death or serious injuries.
To ensure correct functioning of anti
glare mirror sensors located on both
sides of the mirror, do not touch or
cover the sensors with your finger or
a piece of cloth, etc.
