SRS front airbag
The driver’s SRS front airbag is stowed in the center portion of the steering
wheel. The driver’s knee airbag is stowed under the steering column. The
passenger’s SRS front airbag is stowed near the top of the dashboard under
an “SRS AIRBAG” mark.
In a moderate to severe front collision, the following components deploy.
●SRS front airbag for driver
●SRS front airbag for front passenger
●Knee airbag for driver
These components supplement the seat belts by reducing the impact to the
occupant’s head, chest and knees.
■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
●Bruising and slight abrasions may result from contact with a deploying
(inflating) SRS airbag.
●A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.
●Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator)
as well as the front seats, parts of the front and rear pillars, and roof side
rails, may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
■Front-seat passenger airbag manual cut off switch
The passenger-side front airbag can be deactivated by the cut off switch
located in the instrumental panel side. When the cut off switch is turned to
the deactivation mode the passenger-side front airbag becomes deacti-
vated. When the cutoff switch is turned to the activation mode the passen-
ger-side front airbag becomes active to deploy. While the passenger-side
front airbag is active the A/B ON indicator is illuminated.

Before driving
FT86_EE
CAUTION
■SRS airbag precautions
• Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle designs vary,
many drivers can achieve the 250 mm (10 in.) distance, even with the
driver seat all the way forward, simply by reclining the back of the seat
somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to see the
road, raise yourself by using a firm, non-slippery cushion, or raise the
seat if your vehicle has that feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the air-
bag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as recommended above, while still maintain-
ing control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instru-
ment panel controls.
●The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and
can cause death or serious injury especially if the front passenger is very
close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far from the air-
bag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits
upright.
●Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or
seriously injured by a deploying airbag. An infant or child who is too small
to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint sys-
tem. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in
the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats are
safer for infants and children than the front passenger seat. (→P. 134)
●Do not sit on the edge of the seat or
lean against the dashboard.

CAUTION
■SRS airbag precautions
●Do not allow a child to stand in front of
the SRS front passenger airbag unit or
sit on the knees of a front passenger.
●Do not allow the front seat occupants to
hold items on their knees.
●Do not lean against the door, the roof
side rail or the front, side and rear pil-
lars.
●Do not allow anyone to kneel on the
passenger seat toward the door or put
their head or hands outside the vehicle.
●Do not attach anything to or lean any-
thing against areas such as the dash-
board, steering wheel pad or lower
portion of the instrument panel.
These items can become projectiles
when SRS driver, front passenger and
knee airbags deploy.
