SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag
The SRS side airbag is stored in the
door side of each front seat seatback,
which bears an “SRS AIRBAG” label.
In a moderate to severe side impact collision, the SRS side airbag on the
impacted side of the vehicle deploys between the occupant and the door
panel and supplements the seat belt by reducing the impact on the occupant’s
chest.
The curtain shield airbag on each side of the cabin is stored in the roof side
(between the front pillar and a point over the rear seat). An “SRS AIRBAG”
mark is located at the top of each front and rear pillar.
In a moderate to severe side impact collision, the SRS curtain shield airbag on
the impacted side of the vehicle deploys between the occupant and the side
window and supplements the seat belt by reducing the impact on the occu-
pant’s head.
■ Operation
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag can function only when
the engine switch is in the “ON” position (vehicles without a smart entry &
start system) or when the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION
ON mode (vehicles with a smart entry & start system).

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)

WARNING
■
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 re pairer, 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

Airbag manual on-off indicator information
●The front passenger’s front airbag ON and OFF indicators shows you the
status of the front passenger’s SRS front airbag. When the engine switch
is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles without a smart entry & start sys-
tem) or the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned to IGNITION ON
mode (vehicles with a smart entry & start system), both the ON and OFF
indicators illuminate while the system is checked, after which both indica-
tors turn off. After that, “ON” or “OFF” on the ON-OFF indicator will be
illuminated according to the position of the airbag manual on-off switch.
● If any of the following problems occur, it is possible that there is a mal-
function in the system. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional.
• Neither “ON” nor “OFF” comes on.
• The indicator light does not change when the airbag manual on-off switch is switched to “ON” or “OFF”.
WARNING
■When installing a child restraint system
For safety reasons, always install a child restraint system in a rear seat. In
the event that the rear seat cannot be used, the front seat can be used as
long as the airbag manual on-off system is set to “OFF”.
If the airbag manual on-off system is left on, the strong impact of the airbag
deployment (inflation) may cause serious injury or even death.
■ When a child restraint system is not installed on the front passenger
seat
Ensure that the airbag manual on-off system is set to “ON”.
If it is left off, the airbag may not deploy in the event of an accident, which
may result in serious injury or even death.
