CAUTION
SRS airbag precautions
Vehicles with SRS curtain shield airbags: Do not hang coat hangers or
other hard objects on the coat hooks. All of these items could become pro-
jectiles and may cause death or serious injury, should the SRS curtain
shield airbags deploy.
Vehicles with a SRS driver knee airbag: If a vinyl cover is put on the area
where the SRS driver knee airbag will deploy, be sure to remove it.
Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side
airbags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the airbags. Such
accessories may prevent the side airbags from activating correctly, disable
the system or cause the side airbags to inflate accidentally, resulting in
death or serious injury.
Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS air-
bag components.
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.
Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS air-
bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.
If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbags have deployed, open a
door or window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to do
so. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation.
Vehicles without SRS curtain shield airbags: If the areas where the SRS
airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel pad, are damaged or
cracked, have them replaced by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Vehicles with a SRS driver knee airbag,
but do not use a smart entry & start sys-
tem or a push-button start system: Do
not attach any heavy, sharp or hard
objects such as keys and accessories
to the key. The objects may restrict the
SRS driver knee airbag inflation or be
thrust into the driver’s seat area by the
force of the deploying airbag, thus
causing a danger.
