1−7. Safety information

Before driving
Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed based
on US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The airbag sys−
tem controls airbag deployment po
wer for the driver and front pas−
senger. The driver airbag system consists of the driver seat’s position
sensor etc. The front passenger ’s airbag system consists of the front
passenger occupant classification sensor etc.
The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The
SRS airbag system is controlled by
the airbag sensor assembly. The
airbag sensor assembly consists of a safing sensor and an airbag
sensor.
In certain types of severe frontal or side impacts, the SRS airbag sys−
tem triggers the airbag inflators. A
chemical reaction in the inflators
quickly fills the airbags with non−toxic gas to help rest rain the motion
of the occupants.
 SRS warning light
This warning light system monitors the airbag sensor assembly, front airbag
sensors, side and curtain shield airbag sensor assemblies, curtain shield air−
bag sensor assemblies, driver ’s seat position sensor, driver ’s seat belt
buckle switch, front passenger occupant classification system, AIR BAG ON
indicator light, AIR BAG OFF indicator light, front passenger ’s seat belt
buckle switch, seat belt pretensioner assemblies, inflators, interconnecting
wiring and power sources. (
P. 332)
 If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
 Bruising and slight abrasions may result from contact with a deploying
(inflating) SRS airbag.
A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.
Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator)
as well as the front seats, and parts of the front and rear pillars and roof
side rail, may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be
hot.
 The front windshield may crack.

CAUTION
 Caution while driving
Do not turn the engine switch to the LOCK position.
If in an emergency, you must turn the engine off while the vehicle is moving,
turn the engine switch only to the ACC position.
NOTICE
 To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the engine switch in the ACC or ON position for long periods if
the engine is not running.
 When starting the engine
 Do not crank for more than 30 seconds at a time. This may overheat the
starter and wiring systems.
Do not race a cold engine.

If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, have the engine
checked immediately.

Maintenance and care
 Seat belts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water using a cloth or sponge. Also
check the belts periodically for excessive wear, fraying or cuts.
CAUTION
 Water in the vehicle
 Be careful not to splash or spill liquid on the floor.
Do not get any of the SRS components or wiring in the vehicle interior wet.
(P. 7 3 )
Electrical malfunction may cause the airbags to deploy or not function
properly, resulting in death or severe injury.
NOTICE
 Cleaning detergents
Do not use organic substances such as benzene or gasoline, acidic or alka−
line solutions, dye, bleach or other detergent. Doing so may discolor the
vehicle interior or cause streaks or damage to painted surfaces.
 Preventing damage to leather surfaces
Observe the following precautions to avoid damage to and deterioration of
leather surfaces.
 Remove any dust or dirt on leather surfaces immediately.
Do not expose the vehicle to direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
Park the vehicle in the shade, especially during summer.
 Do not place items made of vinyl, plastic, or that contain wax on the uphol−
stery, as they may stick to the leather surface if the vehicle interior heats
up significantly.
 Water on the floor
Do not wash the vehicle floor with water.
Vehicle systems such as the audio system may be damaged if water comes
into contact with electrical components under the floor of the vehicle, and
may also cause the body to rust.

Maintenance and care
 After a fuse is replaced
 If the lights do not turn on even after the fuse has been replaced, a bulb
may need replacement. ( P. 314)
 If the replaced fuse blows again, have the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer.

If there is an overload in the circuits
The fuses are designed to blow before the entire wiring harness is damaged.
CAUTION
 To prevent system breakdowns and vehicle fire
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may cause damage, and possibly a fire or injury.
 Never use a fuse of a higher amperage rating than indicated, or use any
other object in place of a fuse.
Always use a genuine Toyota fuse or equivalent.
Never replace a fuse with a wire, even as a temporary fix.
This can cause extensive damage or even fire.
 Do not modify the fuse or the fuse box.
NOTICE
 Before replacing fuses
Have the cause of electrical overload determined and repaired by your Toy−
ota dealer as soon as possible.
