SRS airbags
The SRS airbags inflate when the vehicle is subjected to certain
types of severe impacts that may cause significant injury to the
occupants. They work together with the seat belts to help reduce the
risk of death or serious injury.
Front airbags
Driver airbag/front passenger airbag
Can help protect the head and chest of the driver and front pas-
senger from impact with interior components.
Knee airbags
Can help provide driver and front passenger protection.

138 1-7. Safety information
L/C200_EE (OM60G38E)
Side and curtain shield airbags
Side airbags
Can help protect the torso of the front seat occupants.
Side airbags (if equipped)
Can help protect the torso of the second outboard seat occu-
pants.
Curtain shield airbags
Can help protect primarily the head of front seat occupants.
Can help protect primarily the head of second outboard seat
occupants.
Can help protect primarily the head of third seat occupants. (if
equipped)

Airbag system components
The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The
SRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. As
the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the
airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occu-
pants.Knee airbags

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, second seats, and parts of the front, side and
rear pillars and roof side rail, may be hot for several minutes. The airbag
itself may also be hot.
The windshield may crack.
SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags)
The SRS front airbag will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds
the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approxi-
mately 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall 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 and 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.
SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side airbags and SRS curtain
shield airbags)
The SRS side airbags and SRS curtain shield airbags will deploy in the
event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force
corresponding to the impact force produced by an approximately 1500 kg
[3300 lb.] vehicle colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpen-
dicular to the vehicle orientation at an approximate speed of 20 - 30 km/h
[12 - 18 mph]).
The SRS curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of vehicle rollover.

Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other
than a collision
The SRS front airbags may also deploy if a serious impact occurs to the
underside of your vehicle. Some examples are shown in the illustration.
The SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy under the situations shown
in the illustration.
Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbag (front airbags)
The SRS front airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle is involved in a
side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed frontal
collision. But, whenever a collision of any type causes sufficient forward
deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front airbags may occur.
Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or
hard surface
Falling into or jumping over a deep hole
Landing hard or falling
The angle of vehicle tip-up is marginal.
The vehicle skids and hits curb stone.
Collision from the side
Collision from the rear
Vehicle rollover

142 1-7. Safety information
L/C200_EE (OM60G38E)
Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbag
(side airbags and curtain shield airbags)
The SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag may not activate if the vehicle
is subjected to a collision from the side at certain angles, or a collision to the
side of the vehicle body other than the passenger compartment.
The SRS side airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle is involved in a
frontal or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed side
collision.
The SRS curtain shield airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle is
involved in a frontal or rear collision, if it pitches end over end, or if it is
involved in a low-speed side collision.
Collision from the side to the vehicle
body other than the passenger com-
partment
Collision from the side at an angle
Collision from the front
Collision from the rear
Vehicle rollover
Collision from the front
Collision from the rear
Pitching end over end

When to contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional
In the following cases, contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional, as soon as possible.
Any of the SRS airbags have been inflated.
The front of the vehicle is damaged or
deformed, or was involved in an acci-
dent that was not severe enough to
cause the SRS front airbags to inflate.
A portion of a door is damaged or
deformed, or the vehicle was involved
in an accident that was not severe
enough to cause the SRS side and cur-
tain shield airbags to inflate.

144 1-7. Safety information
L/C200_EE (OM60G38E)
The pad section of the steering wheel,
dashboard near the front passenger air-
bag or lower portion of the instrument
panel is scratched, cracked, or other-
wise damaged.
The surface of the seats with the side
airbag is scratched, cracked or other-
wise damaged.
The portion of the front, side and rear
pillars or roof side rail garnishes (pad-
ding) containing the curtain shield air-
bags is inside scratched, cracked, or
otherwise damaged.
