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
driver ’s seat belt pretensioner in
some cases.
zInstallation of electronic devices
such as an RF−transmitter, cassette
tape player or compact disc player
zRepairs on or near the driver ’s seat
belt retractor assembly
zModification of the suspension sys-
tem
zModification of the front end struc-
ture

This driver ’s seat belt pretensionersystem
has a service reminder indicator to inform
the driver of operating problems. If any of
the following conditions occurs, this
indicates a malfunction of the airbag or
pretensioner. Contact any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional, as
soon as possible to service the vehicle.
DThe light does not come on when the
engine switch is turned to the “ON”
position or remains on for more than
6 seconds or flashes.
DThe light comes on or starts flashing
while driving.
DIf the driver ’s seat belt does not retract
or cannot be pulled out due to a mal-
function or activation of the relevant
driver ’s seat belt pretensioner.

This indicator comes on when the en-
gine switch is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion. It goes off after about 6 seconds.
This means the SRS airbag is operating
properly.
This warning light system monitors the
airbag sensor assembly, airbag sensor,
driver ’s seat belt pretensioner assembly,
inflator, interconnecting wiring and power
sources. (For details, see “Service
reminder indicators and warning buzzer”
on page 73 in Section 1−5.)The SRS airbag system is designed to
activate in response to a severe frontal
impact within the shaded area between
the arrows in the illustration.
The SRS airbag will deploy in the event
of an impact that exceeds the set thresh-
old level (the level of force corresponding
to an approximately 20−30 km/h [12−18
mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that
does not move or deform).
If the severity of the impact is below the
above threshold level, the SRS airbag
may not deploy.
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 it is involved in an underride
collision (e.g. a collision in which the nose
of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under,
the bed of a truck, etc.).
It is possible that in some collisions at the
lower zone of airbag sensor detection and
activation the SRS airbag and seat belt
pretensioner will not operate all together.
For the safety of all occupants, always
wear your seat belts properly.

The SRS airbag system consists mainly of
the following components, and their loca-
tions are shown in the illustration.
1. SRS warning light
2. Airbag module for driver
(airbag and inflator)
3. Airbag sensor
4. Airbag sensor assembly
The airbag sensor assembly consists of a
safing sensor and airbag sensor.
In a severe frontal impact, the sensor de-
tects deceleration and the system triggers
the airbag inflator. At this time a chemical
reaction in the inflator quickly fills the air-
bag with non−toxic gas to help restrain
the forward motion of the driver.
When the airbag inflates, it produces a
fairly loud noise and releases some
smoke and residue along with non−toxic
gas. This does not indicate a fire. This
gas is normally harmless; however, for
those who have delicate skin, it may
cause a minor skin irritation. Be sure to
wash off any residue as soon as possible
to prevent any potential skin irritation.
Deployment of the airbag happens in a
fraction of a second, so the airbag must
inflate with considerable force. While the
system is designed to reduce serious inju-
ries, it may also cause minor burns or
abrasions and swelling.The steering wheel hub may be hot for
several minutes, but the airbag itself will
not be hot. The airbag is designed to
inflate only once.
CAUTION
The SRS airbag system is designed
only as a supplement to the primary
protection of the driver side seat belt
system. The driver can be killed or
seriously injured by the inflating air-
bag if he/she does not wear the avail-
able seat belt properly. During sudden
braking just before a collision, an un-
restrained driver can move forward
into direct contact with or close prox-
imity to the airbag which may then
deploy during the collision. To ensure
maximum protection in an accident,
the driver and all passengers in the
vehicle must wear their seat belts
properly. Wearing a seat belt properly
during an accident reduces the
chances of death or serious injury or
being thrown out of the vehicle. For
instructions and precautions concern-
ing the seat belt system, see “Seat
belts” on page 28 in this Section.

This SRS airbag system has a service
reminder indicator to inform the driver of
operating problems. If either of the follow-
ing conditions occurs, this indicates a mal-
function of the airbag. Contact any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional,
as soon as possible to service the ve-
hicle.
DThe light does not come on when the

DThe light comes on or starts flashing
while driving.
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 airbag has been inflated.
DThe front of the vehicle (shaded in the
illustration) was involved in an accident
that was not severe enough to cause
the SRS airbag to inflate.
DThe pad section of the steering wheel
(shaded in theillustration) is scratched,
cracked, or otherwise damaged.

62LIGHTS AND WIPERS
HEADLIGHTS
To turn on the following lights: Twist
the headlight/turn signal lever knob.
Position 1—Front position, tail, license
plate and instrument panel lights
Position 2—Headlights and all of the
above
However, on some models, all the lights
above also turn on when the engine is
started with the headlight switch off.
With the headlight beam level control
switch—Adjust the headlight beam level
before turning on the headlights. (See
“Headlight beam level control” on page 63
in this Section.)
Light reminder buzzer
A buzzer will remind you to turn the lights
off when the driver ’s door is opened if the
engine switch is turned to the “LOCK”
position with the headlight switch on.
NOTICE
To prevent the battery from being dis-
charged, do not leave the lights on
for a long period when the engine is
not running.
High−Low beams—For high beams, turn
the headlights on and push the lever away
from you (position 1). Pull the lever to-
ward you (position 2) for low beams.
The headlight high beam indicator light
(blue light) on the instrument panel will
tell you that the high beams are on.
Flashing the high beam headlights
(position 3)—Pull the lever all the way
back. The high beam headlights turn off
when you release the lever.
You can flash the high beam headlights
with the knob turned to “OFF”.

LIGHTS AND WIPERS63
TURN SIGNALS
To signal a turn, push the headlight/
turn signal lever up or down to position
1.
The engine switch must be in the “ON”
position.
The lever automatically returns after you
make a turn, but you may have to return
it by hand after you change lanes.
To signal a lane change, move the lever
up or down to the pressure point (position
2) and hold it.
If the turn signal indicator lights (green
lights) on the instrument panel flash faster
than normal, a front or rear turn signal
bulb is burned out. See “Replacing light
bulbs” on page 205 in Section 7−3.To adjust the headlight beam level, turn
the dial.
The following list shows examples of prop-
er dial settings. For loading conditions oth-
er than those listed, adjust the dial posi-
tion so that the beam level is the same
as the one obtained according to the list
when only the driver is in the vehicle. The
higher the number of the dial position, the
lower the headlight beam level.
Always keep the headlight beam at the
proper level, or your headlights may
dazzle other road users.
