SRS airbag system monitor
SRS warning light
A diagnostic system continually
monitors the readiness of the
SRS airbag system (including
front seat belt pretensioners)
while the vehicle is being driven.
The SRS warning light will show
normal system operation by illu-
minating for approximately 6
seconds when the engine switch
is turned to the “ON” position
(vehicles without a smart entry &
start system), or the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch is turned
to IGNITION ON mode (vehicles
with a smart entry & start sys-
tem).
The following components are monitored by the indicator.
Front sub sensor
• Right-hand side
• Left-hand side
Airbag control module (including impact sensor)
Front airbag module
• Driver’s side
• Front passenger’s side
Knee airbag module (driver’s side)

CAUTION
SRS warning light
If the warning light exhibits any of the following conditions, there may be a
malfunction in the seat belt pretensioners and/or SRS airbag system. We
recommend that you have the system checked immediately by your nearest
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional. Unless checked and properly repaired, the seat belt
pretensioners and/or SRS airbags will operate improperly (e.g. SRS airbags
may inflate in a very minor collision or not inflate in a severe collision), which
may increase the risk of injury.
Flashing or flickering of the warning light
No illumination of the warning light when the engine switch is first turned to
the “ON” position (vehicles without a smart entry & start system), or the
“ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned to “ON” mode (vehicles with a
smart entry & start system).
Continuous illumination of the warning light
Illumination of the warning light while driving

CAUTION
When installing a child restraint system
Never use a rear-facing child restraint
system on the front passenger seat
when the airbag manual on-off switch is
on. (P. 148)
The force of the rapid inflation of the
front passenger airbag can cause death
or serious injury to children in the event
of an accident.
A warning label on passenger side of
the sun visor, both indicating that it is
forbidden to attach a rearward facing
child restraint to the front passenger
seat.
Details of the label on the sun visor are
shown in the illustration below. The
label includes information written in the
language of your country.
