2006 TUNDRA from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM 34458U)
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.

installed on the front passenger seat when it is unavoidable. (See “Child restraint” in this Section as for installing the chil d restraint

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. 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 front passenger seat, and
the seat belt buckle switch to determine
conditions 1—4.
In order to ensure the system detects
the conditions correctly:
Do not place a heavy load on the front
passenger seat or its armrest, etc.
Do not attach a commercial seatback
table or other heavy item to the back
of the front passenger seat.
Do not apply pressure to the front pas-
senger seat by resting hands or legs
on the seatback.
