WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
●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. 71).
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.
●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 or steering wheel pad.
These items can become projectiles
when SRS driver and front passenger
airbags deploy.
● Do not attach anything to areas such as
a door, windshield glass, side door
glass, rear quarter glass, front and rear
pillar or roof side rail.

SRS airbag precautions
●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.
● 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 your Toyota dealer.
■ Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modifications
without consulting your Toyota dealer.
The SRS airbags may malfunction or deploy (inflate) accidentally, causing
death or serious injury.

1-7. Safety information
Front passenger occupant classification system
Your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger occupant classifica-
tion system. Using the sensors installed under the seat cover, the
system detects the conditions of the front passenger seat and acti-
vates or deactivates the frontal ai rbag for front passenger seat. The
occupant classification system may not inflate the front passenger’s
SRS frontal airbag even when the driver’s SRS frontal airbag
deploys. This is not a malfunction. If the seat belt buckle switch and/
or front passenger’s occupant classification system have failed, the
SRS warning light will illuminate. Have the system inspected by your
Toyota dealer immediately if the SRS warning light illuminates.
If your vehicle has sust ained impact, this may affect the proper func-
tion of the Toyota advanced frontal airbag system. Immediately con-
tact your Toyota dealer and have your vehicle inspected. Do not use
the front passenger seat while driv ing to your Toyota dealer.

Before driving
*1: The occupant classification system does not operate during self-
checking.
*
2: The system judges a person of adult size as an adult. When a smaller adult sits in the front passenger seat, the system may not
recognize him/her as an adult depending on his/her physique and
posture.
*
3: In the event the front passenge r does not wear a seat belt.
*
4: The front passenger’s SRS side airbag, SRS curtain shield airbag and seat belt pretensioner are not controlled by the occupant
classification system.
*
5: For some children, child in seat, child in booster seat or child in
convertible seat, the system may not recognize him/her as a
child. Factors which may affect this can be the physique or pos-
ture.
Children who have outgrown a child restraint system should
always wear the seat belt when sitting in the seat irrespective of
whether the airbag is de activated or activated.
*
6: When a child restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat, do not place any article on the seat other than the child
occupant and a child restraint system.
Failure to do so may prevent th e front passenger occupant classi-
fication system from functioning correctly or cause the system to
fail.
*
7: Do not place more than one child on the front passenger seat. Failure to do so may prevent th e front passenger occupant classi-
fication system from functioning correctly.
*
8: Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front pas-
senger seat. See the caution that follows regarding installation of
a child restraint system. ( →P. 116)
*
9: In case the indicator is not i lluminated, consult this manual on
how to installing the child restraint system properly. ( →P. 116)
