521-1. For safe use
HILUX_OM_OM0K322E_(EE)
■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate) 
● Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may be sustained from SRS airbags, 
due to the extremely high speed deployment (inflation) by hot gases. 
● A loud noise and white powder will be emitted. 
● Vehicles without SRS curtain shield airbags: Parts of the airbag module 
(steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats may 
be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot. 
● Vehicles with SRS curtain shield airbags: Parts of the airbag module (steer- 
ing 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. 
● Vehicles with ERA-GLONASS/EVAK: If the SRS airbags deploy, the system 
is designed to send an emergency call* to the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK con- 
trol center, notifying them of the vehicle’s location (without needing to push 
the “SOS” button) and an agent will attempt to speak with the occupants to
ascertain the level of emergency and assistance required. If the occupants 
are unable to communicate, the agent automatically treats the call as an 
emergency and helps to dispatch the necessary emergency services. 
( P. 528)
*: In some cases, the call cannot be made. (P. 531) 
■ SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags) 
● The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the 
set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approximately 20 -
30 km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or 
deform). 
However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher in the following 
situations: 
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, 
which can move or deform on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an underride collision, such as a collision in 
which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a 
truck 
● Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt pre- 
tensioners will activate. 
● Vehicles with front passenger occupant classification system: The SRS front 
airbags for the front passenger will not activate if there is no passenger sit-
ting in the front passenger seat. However, the SRS front airbags for the front 
passenger may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, even if the seat is unoc- 
cupied.

■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield airbags) 
● The SRS side and curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of an 
impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding
to the impact force produced by an approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehicle 
colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle 
orientation  at  an  approximate  speed  of 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph]). 
● The SRS side and curtain shield airbags may also deploy in the event of a 
severe frontal collision. 
■ Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other than 
a collision 
The SRS front airbags, SRS side and curtain shield airbags may also deploy 
if a serious impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some examples 
are shown in the illustration. 
■ Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS front air- 
bags) 
The SRS front airbags do not generally infl ate if the vehicle is involved in a 
side or rear collision, if it rolls over,  or if it is involved in a low-speed frontal 
collision. But, whenever a collision of any type causes sufficient forward 
deceleration of the vehicle, deployment  of the SRS front airbags may occur. 
● Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard 
surface 
● Falling into or jumping over a deep hole 
● Landing hard or falling 
● Collision from the side 
● Collision from the rear 
● Vehicle rollover
