WARNING
■General precautions while driving 
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ- 
ence of alcohol or drugs that have impair ed your ability to operate your vehi- 
cle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay  reaction time, impair judgment and 
reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in
death or serious injury. 
Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other 
drivers or pedestrians might make  and be ready to avoid accidents. 
Driver distraction: Always give your  full attention to driving. Anything that 
distracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or 
reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you,
your occupants or others. 
■ General precaution regarding children’s safety 
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to 
have or use the key. 
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral. 
There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with 
the windows or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or 
extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

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.

For safety and security
Vehicles without smart entry & 
start system: 
Insert the key into the cylinder and 
turn to the “OFF” position.
The OFF indicator light turns on 
(only when the engine switch is in
the “ON” position).
Vehicles with smart entry & start 
system: 
Insert the mechanical key into the cylinder and rotate to the “OFF” 
position.
The OFF indicator light turns on (only when the engine switch is in 
IGNITION ON mode).
■ “PASSENGER AIR BAG” indicator lights information 
If any of the following problems occur, it is possible that there is a malfunction 
in the system. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or 
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
● 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”.
Deactivating the front seat passenger airbag
WARNING
■ When installing a child restraint system 
For safety reasons, always install the 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. 

641-2. Child safety
HILUX_OM_OM0K322E_(EE)
Riding with children
●It is recommended that children sit in the rear seats (if equipped) to 
avoid accidental contact with the shift lever, wiper switch etc. 
● Use the rear door child-protector lock (double-cab models only) or 
the window lock switch (vehicles with power windows) to avoid chil- 
dren opening the door while driving or operating the power window 
accidentally. 
● Do not let small children operate equipment which may catch or 
pinch body parts, such as the power window (if equipped), hood,
tailgate (if equipped), seats etc.
Observe the following precautions when children are in the vehi-
cle. 
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the 
child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat
belt.
WARNING
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to 
have or use the key. 
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral. 
There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with
the windows or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or 
extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.
