42OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
Seats
While the vehicle is being driven, all ve-
hicle occupants should have the seatback
upright, sit well back in the seat and prop-
erly wear the seat belts provided.
CAUTION
DDo not drive the vehicle unless the
occupants are properly seated. Do
not allow any occupants to sit on
top of a folded−down seatback, or
in the luggage compartment or car-
go area. If the occupants are im-
properly seated or restrained by
seat belts, death or serious injury
could result in the event of emer-
gency braking, sudden swerving or
an accident.
DDuring driving, do not allow any
passengers to stand up or move
around between seats. Otherwise,
death or serious injuries can occur
in the event of emergency braking,
sudden swerving or an accident.
Driver seat
CAUTION
The SRS driver airbag deploys with
considerable force, and can cause
death or serious injury especially if
the driver is very close to the airbag.
Since the risk zone for driver airbag
is the first 50—75 mm (2—3 in.) of
inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10
in.) from your driver airbag provides
you with a clear margin of safety.
This distance is measured from the
center of the steering wheel to your
breastbone. If you sit less than 250
mm (10 in.) away now, you can
change your driving position in sever-
al ways:
DMove your seat to the rear as far
as you can while still reaching the
pedals comfortably.
DSlightly recline the back of the
seat. Although vehicle designs vary,
many drivers can achieve the 250
mm (10 in.) distance, even with the
driver seat all the way forward, sim-
ply by reclining the back of the
seat somewhat. If reclining the back
of your seat makes it hard to see
the road, raise yourself by using a
firm, non−slippery cushion, or raise
the seat if your vehicle has that
feature.
DIf your steering wheel is adjustable,
tilt it downward. This points the air-
bag toward your chest instead of
your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as rec-
ommended above, while still maintain-
ing control of the foot pedals, steer-
ing wheel, and your view of the in-
strument panel controls.

Front seats—

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS43
Front passenger seat
CAUTION
The SRS front passenger airbag also
deploys with considerable force, and
can cause death or serious injury es-
pecially if the front passenger is very
close to the airbag. The front passen-
ger seat should be as far from the
airbag as possible with the seatback
adjusted, so the front passenger sits
upright.
Front seats (with SRS side airbags)
CAUTION
The SRS side airbags are installed in
the driver and front passenger seats.
Observe the following precautions.
DDo not lean against the front door
when the vehicle is in use, since
the side airbag inflates with consid-
erable speed and force. Otherwise,
you may be killed or seriously in-
jured.
DDo not use seat accessories which
cover the area where the side air-
bags inflate. Such accessories may
prevent the side airbags from acti-
vating correctly, causing death or
serious injury.
DDo not modify or replace the seats
or upholstery of the seats with side
airbags. Such change may prevent
the side airbag system from
activating correctly, disable the
system or cause the side airbags to
inflate accidentally, resulting in
death or serious injury.
Adjust the driver ’s seat so that the foot
pedals, steering wheel and instrument
panel controls are within easy reach of
the driver.

58OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
When the airbags inflate, they produce a
loud noise and release some smoke and
residue along with non−toxic gas. This
does not indicate a fire. This smoke may
remain inside the vehicle for some time,
and may cause some minor irritation to
the eyes, skin or breathing. Be sure to
wash off any residue as soon as possible
to prevent any potential skin irritation with
soap and water. If you can safely exit
from the vehicle, you should do so imme-
diately.
Deployment of the airbags happens in a
fraction of a second, so the airbags must
inflate with considerable force. While the
system is designed to reduce serious inju-
ries, primarily to the head and chest, it
may also cause other, less severe injuries
to the face, chest, arms and hands. These
are usually in the nature of minor burns
or abrasions and swelling, but the force of
a deploying airbag can cause more seri-
ous injuries, especially if an occupant’s
hands, arms, chest or head is in close
proximity to the airbag module at the time
of deployment. This is why it is important
for the occupant to: avoid placing any
object or part of the body between the
occupant and the airbag module; sit
straight and well back into the seat; wear
the available seat belt properly; and sit as
far as possible from the airbag module,
while still maintaining control of the ve-
hicle.
Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel
hub, airbag cover and inflator) may be hot
for several minutes after deployment, so
do not touch! The airbags inflate only
once. The windshield may be damaged by
absorbing some of the force of the inflat-
ing airbag.
CAUTION
The driver or front passenger who is
too close to the steering wheel or
dashboard during airbag deployment
can be killed or seriously injured.
Toyota strongly recommends that:
DThe driver sit as far back as pos-
sible from the steering wheel while
still maintaining control of the ve-
hicle.
DThe front passenger sit as far back
as possible from the dashboard.
DAll vehicle occupants must be prop-
erly restrained using the available
seat belts.
For instructions and precautions con-
cerning the seating position, see
“—Front seat precautions” on page
42 in this Section.

DDo not put anything or any part of
your body on or in front of the
dashboard or steering wheel pad
that houses the front airbag sys-
tem. They might restrict inflation or
cause death or serious injury as
they are projected rearward by the
force of the deploying airbags. Like-
wise, the driver and front passenger
should not hold objects in their
arms or on their knees.
DDo not modify or remove any wir-
ing. Do not modify, remove, strike
or open any components such as
the steering wheel pad, steering
wheel, column cover, front passen-
ger airbag cover, front passenger
airbag or airbag sensor assembly.
Doing so may prevent the front air-
bag system from activating correct-
ly, cause sudden activation of the
system or disable the system,
which could result in death or seri-
ous injury.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death or serious injury.
Consult any authorized Toyota dealer
or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional, about any
repair and modification.
NOTICE
Do not perform any of the following
changes without consulting any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped
professional. Such changes can inter-
fere with proper operation of the SRS
front airbag system in some cases.

such as an RF−transmitter, cassette
tape player or compact disc player

In the following cases, contact any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional,
as soon as possible:
DThe SRS front airbags have been in-
flated.
DThe front of the vehicle (shaded in the
illustration) was involved in an accident
that was not severe enough to cause
the SRS front airbags to inflate.
DThe pad section of the steering wheel
or front passenger airbag cover
(shaded in the illustration) is scratched,
cracked, or otherwise damaged.
MS13032c
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) side airbags are designed to pro-
vide further protection for the driver
and front passenger in addition to the
primary safety protection provided by
the seat belts.
In response to a severe side impact, the
SRS side airbags work with the seat belts
to help reduce injury by inflating. The SRS
side airbags help reduce injuries mainly to
the driver ’s or front passenger ’s chest.
The SRS side airbag on the passenger
seat is activated even with no passenger
in the front seat.
Always wear your seat belt properly.

To change the steering wheel angle,
hold the steering wheel, push down the
lock release lever, tilt the steering
wheel to the desired angle and return
the lever to its original position.
CAUTION
DDo not adjust the steering wheel
while the vehicle is moving. Doing
so may cause the driver to mishan-
dle the vehicle and an accident may
occur resulting in death or serious
injuries.
DAfter adjusting the steering wheel,
try moving it up and down to make
sure it is locked in position.
INFORMATION
Vehicles with electric power steering
system:
When the steering wheel is turned, a
motor operating sound (whining
sound) may be heard. This occurs
when the power steering motor works
and is not defective.
MS13020
Adjust the mirror so that you can just
see the side of your vehicle in the mir-
ror.
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.
