2017 TOYOTA TACOMA air suspension

401-1. For safe use
WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
● Do not use seat accessories 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.
● If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel
pad and front and rear pillar garnishes, are damaged or cracked, have
them replaced by your Toyota dealer.
● 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 detecting the passenger’s weight properly. As a result, the SRS front
airbags for the front passenger may not deploy in the event of a collisi\
on.
■ Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or per form any of the following modifications
without consulting your Toyota dealer. The SRS airbags may malfunction or
deploy (inflate) accidentally, causing death or serious injury.
● Installation, removal, disassembly and repair of the SRS airbags
● Repairs, modifications, removal or replacement of the steering wheel,
instrument panel, dashboard, seats or seat upholstery, front, side and rear
pillars or roof side rails
● Repairs or modifications of the front fender, front bumper, or side of the
occupant compartment
● Installation of a grille guard (bull bars, kangaroo bar, etc.), snow plows,
winches or roof luggage carrier
● Modifications to the vehicle’s suspension system
● Installation of electronic devices such as mobile two-way radios and CD
players
● Modifications to your vehicle for a person with a physical disability

2264-5. Using the driving support systems
■The intuitive parking assist can be operated when
Vehicles without a smart key system
The engine switch is in the “ON” position and the shift lever is i\
n R.
Vehicles with a smart key system
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode and the shift lever is in R.
■ Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detection areas are limited to the areas around the vehicle’s
rear bumper.
● Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect the
ability of the sensor to correctly detect obstacles. Particular instances where
this may occur are listed below.
• There is dirt, snow or ice on the sensor. (Wiping the sensors will resolve
this problem.)
• The sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will resolve this problem.)
• The sensor is covered in any way.
• The vehicle is leaning considerably to one side.
• On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
• The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to vehicle horns, motorcycle engines, air brakes of large vehicles, or other loud noises producing ultra-
sonic waves.
• There is another vehicle equipped with parking assist sensors in the vicinity.
• The sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
• The vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or radio antenna.
• The bumper or sensor receives a strong impact.
• The vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curb.
• In harsh sunlight or intense cold weather.
• The area directly under the bumpers is not detected.
• If obstacles draw too close to the sensor.
• A non-genuine Toyota suspension (lowered suspension, etc.) is installed.
• People may not be detected if they are wearing certain types of clothing.
In addition to the examples above, there are instances in which, because of
their shape, signs and other objects may be judged by the sensor to be closer
than they are.

ATTENTION
■Précautions avec les coussins gonflables SRS
● Si les parties renfermant les coussins gonflables SRS, telles que la
garniture centrale du volant de direction et les garnitures de montants
avant et arrière, apparaissent abîmées ou craquelées, faites-les remplacer
par votre concessionnaire Toyota.
● Ne placez aucun objet, par exemple un coussin, sur le siège du passager
avant. Cela a pour conséquence de répartir le poids du passager sur toute
la surface du siège, ce qui empêche le capteur de détecter normalement
le poids du passager. En conséquence, les coussins gonflables SRS
frontaux du passager avant peuvent ne pas se déployer en cas de
collision.
■ Modification et élimination en fin de vie des éléments du système de
coussins gonflables SRS
Consultez impérativement votre concessionnaire Toyota si vous avez
besoin d’intervenir sur votre véhicule ou de procéder à l’une des
modifications suivantes. Les coussins gonflables SRS peuvent ne pas
fonctionner correctement ou se déployer (gonfler) accidentellement,
provoquant ainsi des blessures graves, voire mortelles.
● Installation, dépose, démontage et réparations des coussins gonflables
SRS
● Réparations, modifications, démontage ou remplacement du volant, du
tableau de bord, de la planche de bord, des sièges ou de leur garnissage,
des montants avant, latéraux et arrière ou des rails latéraux d\
e toit
● Réparation ou modification des ailes avant, du bouclier avant, ou des
flancs de l’habitacle
● Installation d’un équipement de protection sur la calandre (pare-buffle,
pare-kangourou, etc.), d’un chasse-nei ge, de treuils ou d’une galerie de
toit
● Modification des suspensions du véhicule
● Installation d’appareils électroniques, tels qu’un émetteur/récepteur radio
ou lecteur de CD
● Aménagements du véhicule visant à permettre sa conduite par une
