The SRS curtain airbags (if so equipped) aredesigned to supplement properly worn seat
belts and provide the driver and passengers on the front seat and rear outboard seat with
protection against head injuries by deploying the curtain airbag on the side impacted in
moderate-to-severe side impact collisions.
The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat belts. To ensure the maximum protection dur-
ing all types of collisions and accidents, all
occupants, including the passengers as well as the driver, must wear their seat belts.NOTEl The ERA-GLONASS (if so equipped) is de-
signed to operate when any of the airbags deploy.
Refer to “ERA-GLONASS*” on page 8-02How the Supplemental Re-
straint System works
E00407303284
The SRS includes the following components:
1. Airbag module (Driver)
2. Front passenger’s airbag indicator (Club
cab and Double cab)
3. Airbag module (Passenger)
4. Driver’s knee airbag module*
5. Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch (Club cab and Double cab)
6. Side airbag modules*
7. Curtain airbag modules*
Only when the ignition switch or the opera- tion mode is under the following conditions,
the airbags will operate.
[Except for vehicles equipped with keyless
operation system]
The ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.
[Vehicles equipped with keyless operation
system]
The operation mode is in ON.
When the airbag control unit detects a roll- over of the vehicle, the curtain airbags will bedeployed. (if so equipped)
The airbags deployment produces a sudden,
loud noise, and releases some smoke and powder, but these conditions are not injuri-
ous, and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle. People with respiratory problems may feel
some temporary irritation from chemicals used to produce the deployment; open the
windows after airbag deployment, if safe to
do so.
The airbags deflate very rapidly after deploy- ment, so there is little danger of obscured vi-
sion.
