381-1. For safe use
PRIUS_OM_OM47B54U_(U)
Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed based
on the US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The airbag
sensor assembly (ECU ) controls airbag deployment based on infor-
mation obtained from the sensors et c. shown in the system compo-
nents diagram above. This informat ion includes crash severity and
occupant information. As the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in
the inflators quickly fills the airbag s with non-toxic gas to help restrain
the motion of the occupants.

7208-2. Steps to take in an emergency
PRIUS_OM_OM47B54U_(U)
WARNING
■When attempting to free a stuck vehicle
If you choose to push the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the
surrounding area is clear to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or people.
The vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes
free. Use extreme caution.
■ When changing the shift position
Be careful not to change the shift position with the accelerator pedal
depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may
cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■To avoid damage to the hybrid transmission and other components
● Avoid spinning the front wheels and depressing the accelerator pedal
more than necessary.
● If the vehicle remains stuck even after these procedures are performed,
the vehicle may require towing to be freed.

Votre véhicule est doté de COUSSINS GONFLABLES ÉVOLUÉS
dont la conception s’appuie sur les normes de sécurité des véhicules
à moteur américains (FMVSS208). Le module de capteur de coussin
gonflable (ECU) contrôle le dépl oiement des coussins gonflables en
fonction des informations obtenues des capteurs et d’autres éléments
affichés dans le diagramme des composants du système ci-dessus.
Ces informations comprennent des données relatives à la gravité de
l’accident et aux occupants. Au moment du déploiement des coussins
gonflables, une réaction chimique se produit dans les gonfleurs de
coussin gonflable et les coussins gonflables se remplissent rapide-
ment d’un gaz non toxique pour aider à limiter le mouvement des
occupants.
