1-7. Safety information
1
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 power for the driver and right front
passenger. The driver airbag system  consists of the driver seat’s
position sensor etc. The front pass enger’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.
Front bench type seat: The SRS airbags are designed to protect the
driver and right front passenger, and they are not designed to protect
an occupant in the front center seating position.
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.  Side airbags

■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
and AIR BAG OFF indicator lights, front passenger’s seat belt buckle switch,
passenger airbag off switch (Regular C ab models), front seat belt preten-
sioner assemblies, RSCA OFF indicator light, inflators, interconnecting wir-
ing and power sources. ( P. 546)
■ 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.
■ Operating conditions  (front airbags)
● The SRS front airbags will deploy if the severity of the frontal impact is
above the designed threshold level, comparable to an approximate 15
mph (25 km/h) collision when the vehicle impacts straight into a fixed bar-
rier that does not move or deform.
However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher if the vehicle
strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which can move or
deform on impact, or if the vehicle is involved in an underride collision (e.g.
a collision in which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the
bed of a truck, etc.).
● It is possible that in some collisions where the forward deceleration of the
vehicle is very close to the designed threshold level, the SRS front air-
bags and the seat belt pretensioners may not activate together.
● The SRS front passenger airbag will not activate if there is no passenger
sitting in the right front passenger seat. However, the front passenger air-
bag may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, or the seat belt is fastened,
even if the seat is unoccupied. ( P. 131)

CAUTION
■
If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such  as ABS and the SRS airbag warning light
not come on when you start the engine, this could mean that these systems
are not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result in
death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer
immediately if this occurs.
■ Warning lights
Warning lights inform the driver  of malfunctions in any of the
vehicle’s systems. ( P. 545)
*1: These lights turn on when the engine switch is turned to the ON
position to indicate that a system check is being performed. They
will turn off after the engine is started, or after a few seconds. There
may be a malfunction in a system if a light does not come on, or if
the lights do not turn off. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer for details.
*2: Vehicles with multi-information display
*3: Vehicles without multi-information display
*4: Vehicles without tachometer
*5: The indicator flashes to indicate that the system is operating.
*6: The indicator comes on to indicate a malfunction.
