Before driving
CAUTION
nSRS airbag precautions
lThe SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and
can cause death or serious injury especially if the front passenger is very
close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far from the air−
bag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits
upright.
lImproperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or
seriously injured by a deploying airbag. An infant or child who is too small
to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint sys−
tem. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in
the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats are
the safest for infants and children. (
P. 123)
lIf the seat belt extender has been con−
nected to the driver ’s seat belt buckle
but the seat belt extender has not also
been fastened to the latch plate of the
driver ’s seat belt, the SRS driver ’s air−
bag system will judge that the driver is
wearing the seat belt even though the
seat belt has not been connected. In
this case, the driver ’s airbag may not
activate correctly in a collision, resulting
in death or serious injury in the event of
collision. Be sure to wear the seat belt
with the seat belt extender.

nSystem malfunction
*1: The system judges a person of adult size as an adult. When a
smaller adult sits in the front passenger seat, the system may rec−
ognize him/her as a child depe
nding on his/her physique and pos−
ture.
*2: In the event the front passenger does not wear a seat belt.
*3: When a larger child who has outgrown a child restraint system sits
in the front passenger seat, the system may recognize him/her as
an adult depending on his/her physique or posture.
*4: Never install a real−facing child restraint system on the front pas−
senger seat. A rear−facing child restraint system should only be
installed on the front passenger seat when it is unavoidable.
( P. 123)
*5: In case the indicator is not illumi nated, consult this manual as for
installing the child restraint system properly. ( P. 127)

CAUTION
nFront passenger occupant classification system precautions
Observe the following precautions regarding front passenger occupant clas−
sification system.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
lWear the seat belt properly.
lMake sure the front passenger ’s seat belt tab has not been left inserted
into the buckle before someone sits in the front passenger seat.
lMake sure the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is not illuminated when using
the seat belt extender for the front passenger seat. If the AIR BAG OFF
indicator light is illuminated, disconnect the extender tongue from the seat
belt buckle, then reconnect the seat belt. Reconnect the seat belt extender
after making sure the AIR BAG ON indicator light is illuminated. If you use
the seat belt extender while the AIR BA
G OFF indicator light is illuminated,
the front passenger airbag and side airbag on the front passenger side
may not activate correctly, which could cause death or serious injury in the
event of collision.
lDo not apply a heavy load to the front passenger seat.
lDo not put weight on the front passenger seat by putting your hands or
feet on the front passenger seat seatback from the second seat.
lDo not let a second seat passenger lift the front passenger seat with their
feet or press on the seatback with their legs.
lDo not put objects under the front passenger seat.
l
Do not recline the front passenger seatback so far that it touches a second
seat. This may cause the AIR BAG OFF indicator light to be illuminated,
which indicates that the passenger ’s airbags will not deploy in the event of
a severe accident. If the seatback touches the second seat, return the
seatback to a position where it does not touch the second seat. Keep the
front passenger seatback as upright as possible when the vehicle is mov−
ing. Reclining the seatback excessively may lessen the effectiveness of
the seat belt system.

CAUTION
nFront passenger occupant classification system precautions
lIf an adult sits in the front passenger seat, the AIR BAG ON indicator light
is illuminated. If the AIR BAG OFF indicator is illuminated, ask the passen−
ger to sit up straight, well back in the seat, feet on the floor, and with the
seat belt worn correctly. If the AIR BAG OFF indicator still remain illumi−
nated, either ask the passenger to move to the second seat, or if that is not
possible, move the front passenger seat fully rearward.
lWhen it is unavoidable to install the forward−facing child restraint system
on the front passenger seat, install the child restraint system on the front
passenger seat in the proper order. (
P. 127)
lDo not modify or remove the front seat.
lDo not kick the front passenger seat or subject it to severe impact. Other−
wise, the SRS warning light may come on to indicate a malfunction in the
detection system. In this case, contact your Toyota dealer immediately.
lDo not use a seat accessory, such as a cushion or seat cover, that covers
the seat cushion surface.
l
Child restraint systems installed on the second seat should not contact the
front seat backs.
