CAUTION
■SRS airbag precautions
●If the vinyl cover is put on the area where the SRS 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 (→P. 110).
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 airbag has 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.
●Do not attach anything to areas such as
a door, windshield glass, side door
glass, rear quarter glass, front or rear
pillar, roof side rail and assist grip.
(Except for the speed limit label
→P. 399)
●Vehicles without a smart entry & start
system only: Do not attach any heavy,
sharp or hard objects such as keys and
accessories to the key. The objects
may restrict the SRS knee airbag infla-
tion or be thrust into the driver's seat
area by the force of the deploying air-
bag, thus causing a danger.

CAUTION
■SRS airbag precautions
●If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel
pad and front and rear pillar garnishes, are damaged or cracked, have
them replaced by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
●The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag are designed only to
be a supplement to the primary protection provided by the seat belt. They
do not do away with the need to fasten seat belts. It is also important to
wear your seat belt to help avoid injuries that can result when an occupant
is not seated in a proper upright position.
■Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modifications
without consulting any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
The SRS airbags may malfunction or deploy (inflate) accidentally, causing
death or serious injury.
●Installation, removal, disassembly and repair of the SRS airbags.
●Repairs, modifications, removal or replacement of the steering wheel,
instrument panel, dashboard, seats or seat upholstery, front, side and rear
pillars or roof side rails.
●Repairs or modifications of the front fender, front bumper, or side of the
occupant compartment.
●Installation of a grille guard (bull bars, kangaroo bar, etc.), snow plows,
winches.
●Modifications to the vehicle's suspension system.
●Installation of electronic devices such as mobile two-way radios and CD
players.
●Installation of electronic devices such as an RF-transmitter and CD play-
ers.
●Modifications to your vehicle for a person with a physical disability.

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)

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 IGNITION ON mode (vehicles
with a smart entry & start system).
●Continuous illumination of the warning light
●Illumination of the warning light while driving

Child restraint systems
Points to remember
Studies have shown that installing a child restraint on a rear seat is
safer than installing one to the front passenger seat.
●Choose a child restraint system appropriate to the age and size of
the child.
●For installation details, follow the instructions provided with the
child restraint system.
General installation instructions are provided in this manual.
(→P. 142)
●If child restraint system regulations exist in the country where you
reside, please contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional for the child
restraint system installation.
●Toyota recommends that you use a child restraint system which
conforms to the regulation “ECE No.44”.
Types of child restraints
Child restraint systems are classified into the following 5 groups
according to the regulation ECE No.44:
Group 0: Up to 10 kg (22 lb.) (0 - 9 months)
Group 0
+: Up to 13 kg (28 lb.) (0 - 2 years)
Group I: 9 to 18 kg (20 to 39 lb.) (9 months - 4 years)
Group II: 15 to 25 kg (34 to 55 lb.) (4 years - 7 years)
Group III: 22 to 36 kg (49 to 79 lb.) (6 years - 12 years)
In this owner's manual, the following popular 3 types of child restraint
systems that can be secured with the seat belts are explained.
Toyota strongly urges the use of child restraint systems.
