WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions 
● Vehicles with SRS side and curtain shield airbags: Do not hang coat hang- 
ers or other hard objects on the coat hooks. All of these items could
become projectiles and may cause death or serious injury, should the SRS 
curtain shield airbags deploy. 
● Vehicles with SRS driver’s knee airbag: If the vinyl cover is put on the area 
where the SRS knee airbag will deploy, be sure to remove it. 
● Vehicles with SRS side and curtain shield airbags: Do not use seat acces- 
sories 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.  
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction. 
● 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 airbags have 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.  
● Vehicles with SRS side and curtain shield airbags: If the areas where the 
SRS airbags are stored, such as  the steering wheel pad and front and rear 
pillar garnishes, are damaged or cr acked, have them replaced by any 
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer. 
● Vehicles without SRS side and curtain shield airbags: If the areas where 
the SRS airbags are stored, such as  the steering wheel pad, are damaged 
or cracked, have them replaced by any authorized Toyota retailer or 
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
● Vehicles with front passenger occupant classification system: Do not place 
anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger’s seat. Doing so will 
disperse the passenger’s weight, which prevents the sensor from detect- 
ing the passenger’s weight properly. As a result, the SRS front airbags for
the front passenger may not deploy in the event of a collision.
● Vehicles without smart entry & start sys- 
tem: Do not attach any heavy, sharp or 
hard objects such as keys or accesso-
ries to the key. The objects may restrict 
the SRS knee airbag (if equipped) infla- 
tion or be thrust into the driver’s seat
area by the force of the deploying air- 
bag, thus causing a danger.
