■SRS airbag precautions
●Vehicles with SRS side and curtain 
shield airbags: Do not lean against the 
door, the roof side rail or the front, side
and rear pillars. 
● Vehicles with SRS side and curtain 
shield airbags: 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 and lower 
portion of the instrument panel. 
These items can become projectiles 
when the SRS driver, front passenger 
and knee airbags (if equipped) deploy. 
● Vehicles with SRS side and curtain 
shield airbags: Do not attach anything 
to areas such as a door, windshield 
glass, side door glass, front or rear pil-
lar, roof side rail and assist grip.

■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.

●Vehicles with SRS side and curtain 
shield airbags: A portion of a door or its 
surrounding area is damaged or 
deformed, or the vehicle was involved in
an accident that was not severe enough 
to cause the SRS side and curtain shield 
airbags to inflate. 
● Vehicles without SRS driver’s knee air- 
bag: The pad section of the steering 
wheel or dashboard near the front pas-
senger airbag is scratched, cracked, or
otherwise damaged. 
Vehicles with SRS driver’s knee airbag: 
The pad section of the steering wheel,
dashboard near the front passenger air- 
bag cover or lower portion of the instru- 
ment panel is scratched, cracked, or
otherwise damaged. 
● Vehicles with SRS side airbags: The sur- 
face of the seats with the side airbag is 
scratched, cracked, or otherwise dam- 
aged. 
● Vehicles with SRS curtain shield air- 
bags: The portion of the front pillars, rear 
pillars or roof side rail garnishes (pad-
ding) containing the curtain shield air- 
bags inside is scratched, cracked, or 
otherwise damaged.

For safety and security
WARNING
■When using a child restraint system 
● When a junior seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is 
positioned across the center of the child’s shoulder. The belt should be 
kept away from the child’s neck, but not so that it could fall off the child’s
shoulder. 
● Use child restraint system suitable to the age and size of the child and 
install it to the rear seat.
● Vehicles with SRS front passenger air- 
bag: Only put a forward-facing child 
restraint system on the front seat when
unavoidable. When installing a forward- 
facing child restraint on the front pas- 
senger seat, move the seat as far back
as possible. Failing to do so may result 
in death or serious injury if the airbags 
deploy (inflate). 
● Vehicles with SRS side and curtain 
shield airbags: 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 or rear pi llars, 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.
● Double-cab models: If the driver’s seat 
interferes with the child restraint system
and prevents it from being attached cor- 
rectly, attach the child restraint system 
to the right-hand rear seat (left-hand
drive vehicles) or the left-hand rear seat 
(right-hand drive vehicles). ( P.  8 0 ,  8 8 )

NOTICE
■How to use the camera 
● The rear view monitor system may not operate properly in the following 
cases. 
• If the back of the vehicle is hit, the position and mounting angle of the 
camera may change.
• As the camera has a water proof construction, do not detach, disassem- 
ble or modify it. This may cause incorrect operation. 
• When cleaning the camera lens, flush the camera with a large quantity
of water and wipe it with a soft and wet cloth. Strongly rubbing the cam- 
era lens may cause the camera lens to be scratched and unable to 
transmit a clear image.
• Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or glass coat to 
adhere to the camera. If this happens, wipe it off as soon as possible. 
• If the temperature changes rapidly, such as when hot water is poured
on the vehicle in cold weather, the system may not operate normally. 
• When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of water to the 
camera or camera area. Doing so may result in the camera malfunc-
tioning. 
• When the camera is used under fluorescent lights, sodium light or mer- 
cury light etc., the lights and the illuminated areas may appear to flicker. 
● Do not expose the camera to strong impact as this could cause a malfunc- 
tion. If this happens, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota 
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as 
possible.
