SRS front airbag
The driver’s SRS front ai
rbag is stowed in the cent er 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)
●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may be sustained from SRS air-
bags, due to the extremely high speed deployment (inflation) by hot
gases.
● 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-s ide 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
86_EE (OM18071E)
There are many types of collisions wh
ich might not necessarily require SRS
front airbag deployment. In the event of accidents like those illustrated, the
SRS front airbag may not deploy depending on the level of accident forces
involved.
■ When will the SRS front airbag not deploy? The vehicle strikes an object that can
move or deform, such as a parked vehi-
cle.
The SRS front airbag is not designed to
deploy in most cases if the vehicle is
struck from the side or from behind, or if it
rolls onto its side or roof, or if it is involved
in a low-speed front collision.

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).

86_EE (OM18071E)
There are many types of collisions wh
ich might not necessarily require SRS
side airbag and SRS curtain shield air bag deployment. In the event of acci-
dents like those illustrated, the SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield air-
bag may not deploy depending on the level of accident forces involved. The vehicle is involved in a side-on
impact in an area outside the vicinity of
the passenger compartment.
The vehicle strikes a telephone pole or
similar object.
The vehicle is involved in a side-on
impact from a motorcycle.
The vehicle rolls onto its side or roof.

WARNING
■
If the SRS airbags deploy
Do not touch the SRS side airbag system components around the front seat
seatback with bare hands right after deployment. Doing so can cause burns
because the components can be very hot as a result of deployment.
After deployment, do not touch any part of the SRS curtain shield airbag sys-
tem (from the front pillar to the part of the roof side over the rear seat). Doing
so can cause burns because the components can be very hot as a result of
deployment.
■ SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions regarding the airbags.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
●The driver and all passengers in the v ehicle must wear their seat belts
properly.
The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts.
● The portion of the front pillars, rear pil-
lars or roof side rail garnishes (padding)
containing the curtain shield airbags
inside is scratched, cracked or other-
wise damaged.

WARNING
■
SRS airbag precautions
●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.
● 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.

WARNING
■
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-

WARNING
■
Child restraint precautions
●Never use a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat
when the airbag manual on-off switch is on. ( →P. 155)
In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front pas-
senger airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child.
● A forward-facing child restraint system should be allowed to be installed
on the front passenger seat only when it is unavoidable. Always move the
seat as far back as possible, because the front passenger airbag could
inflate with considerable speed and fo rce. Otherwise, the child may be
killed or seriously injured.
● Do not allow the child to lean his/her head or any part of his/her body
against the door or the area of the seat , front and rear pillars or roof side
rails from which the SRS side airbags or SRS curtain shield airbags deploy
even if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is dangerous if
the SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags inflate, and the impact
could cause death or serious injury to the child.
● Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by
the child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If
it is not secured properly, it may cause death or serious injury to the child
in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or an accident.
■ When children are in the vehicle
Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes
twisted around a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries
that could result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used
to cut the belt.
■ When the child restraint system is not in use
●Keep the child restraint system properly secured on the seat even if it is
not in use. Do not store the restraint unsecured in the passenger compart-
ment.
● If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from the
vehicle or store it securely in the tr unk. This will prevent it from injuring
passengers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or an accident.
