In the following cases, contact any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional,
as soon as possible:
DThe front of the vehicle (shaded in the
illustration) was involved in an accident
that was not severe enough to cause
the driver ’s seat belt pretensioner to
operate.
DThe driver ’s seat belt pretensioner as-
sembly or surrounding area is
scratched, cracked, or otherwise dama-
ged.
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) airbag is designed to provide fur-
ther protection for the driver in addition
to the primary safety protection pro-
vided by the seat belt.
In response to a severe frontal impact,
the SRS airbag works together with the
seat belt to help reduce injury by inflating.
The SRS airbag helps to reduce injuries
mainly to the driver ’s head or chest
caused by directly hitting the steering
wheel.
Be sure to wear your seat belt properly.
CAUTION
The driver who is too close to the
steering wheel during airbag deploy-
ment can be killed or seriously in-
jured. 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.
DAll vehicle occupants must be prop-
erly restrained using the available
seat belts.

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.

CAUTION
DDo not put objects or your pets on
or in front of the steering wheel
pad. They might restrict inflation or
cause death or serious injury as
they are projected rearward by the
force of a deploying airbag. Like-
wise, the driver should not hold ob-
jects in his/her arms or on his/her
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 or airbag sen-
sor assembly. Doing so may cause
sudden SRS airbag inflation or dis-
able the system, which could result
in death or serious 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
repairs and modifications.

Toyota strongly urges the use of child
restraint systems for children small
enough to use them.
If a child is too large for a child restraint
system, the child should sit in the seat
and must be restrained using the vehicle’s
seat belt. See “Seat belts” on page 28 for
details.
CAUTION
DFor effective protection in automo-
bile accidents and sudden stops, a
child must be properly restrained,
using a seat belt or child restraint
system depending on the age and
size of the child. Holding a child in
your arms is not a substitute for a
child restraint system. In an acci-
dent, the child can be crushed
against the windshield, or between
you and the vehicle’s interior.
DSingle cab models
—
Toyota strongly urges use of a
proper child restraint system which
conforms to the size of the child.
Double cab models

—
Toyota strongly urges use of a
proper child restraint system which
conforms to the size of the child,
installed on the rear seat.
According to accident statistics, the
child is safer when properly
restrained in the rear seat than in
the front seat.
DMake sure you have complied with
all installation instructions provided
by the child restraint manufacturer
and that the system is properly se-
cured. If it is not secured properly,
it may cause death or serious injury
to the child in the event of a sud-
den stop, sudden swerve or acci-
dent.

A child restraint system for a small
child or baby must itself be properly
restrained on the seat with either the
lap belt or the lap portion of the lap/
shoulder belt. You must carefully con-
sult the manufacturer ’s instructions
which accompany the child restraint
system.
To provide proper restraint, use a child
restraint system following the manufactur-
er ’s instructions about the appropriate age
and size of the child for the child restraint
system.
Toyota recommends that you use a child
restraint system which conforms to the
regulation “ECE No.44”.
Install the child restraint system correctly
following the instructions provided by its
manufacturer. General directions are also
provided under the following illustrations.
The child restraint system should be
installed on the rear seat. According to
accident statistics, the child is safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat than
in the front seat.CAUTION
When the child restraint system is
not in use:
DKeep the child restraint system
properly secured on the seat even
if it is not in use. Do not store the
restraint unsecured in the passen-
ger compartment.
DIf it is necessary to detach the
child restraint system, remove it
from the vehicle or store it securely
in the luggage compartment. This
will prevent it from injuring passen-
gers in the event of a sudden stop,
sudden swerve or accident.
DAfter installing the child restraint
system, make sure it is secured in
place following the manufacturer ’s
instructions. If it is not restrained
securely, it may cause death or se-
rious injury to the child in the
event of a sudden stop, sudden
swerve or accident.
When installing a child restraint system
witha3−point seat belt, you will need a
locking clip.
If your child restraint systemdoes not
provide a locking clip, you can purchase
the following item from any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
