Force limiter system
E00406001280
In the event of a collision, each force limiter
system will effectively absorb the load ap- plied to the seat belt so as to minimize the
impact to the passenger.Child restraint
E00406403552
When transporting children in your vehicle,some type of child restraint system should al-
ways be used according to the size of the child. This is required by law in most coun-
tries.
The regulations concerning driving with chil- dren in the front seat may differ from country
to country. You are advised to comply with the relevant regulations.
WARNINGl When possible, put children in the rear
seat. Accident statistics indicate that chil- dren of all sizes and ages are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat rather than in the front seat.
l Holding a child in your arms is no substi-
tute for a restraint system. Failure to use
a proper restraint system can result in se- vere or fatal injury to the child.
l Each child restraint device or fixing is to
be used only by one child.WARNINGl When attaching a child restraint system
to the rear seat, adjust the front seat to
prevent the front seatbacks from touching the child’s feet and child restraint system.
Otherwise, the child could be seriously in-
jured in the event of hard braking or a
collision.Caution for installing the child
restraint on vehicles with a front passenger airbag
E00406501810
The label shown here is attached on vehicles with a front passenger airbag.
WARNINGl Extreme Hazard!
NEVER use a rearward facing child re- straint on a seat protected by an ACTIVEAIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or SERI- OUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.NOTEl The labels may be in different positions de-
pending on the vehicle model.
Use rearward facing child restraints in the
rear seat or turn off the front passenger’s air- bag ON-OFF switch. (Club cab and Double
cab, refer to “To turn an airbag off (Club cab and Double cab)” on page 4-27)

Deployment of front airbagsand driver’s knee airbag
E00407502814
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag ARE DESIGNED
TO DEPLOY when…
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are
designed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moderate to severe frontal impact. The typi-
cal condition is shown in the illustration.
1- Head-on collision with a solid wall at
speed of approximately 25 km/h
(16 mph) or higher
2- Moderate-to-severe frontal impact with-
in the shaded area between the arrows
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag
will deploy if the severity of impact is above
the designed threshold level, comparable to an approximately 25 km/h (16 mph) collision
when impacting straight into a solid wall that
does not move or deform. If the severity of the impact is below the above threshold level,
the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy. However, this threshold
speed will be considerably higher if the vehi- cle strikes an object that absorbs the impact
by either deforming or moving (for example,
another stationary vehicle, pole or a guard
rail).
Because frontal collisions can easily move you out of position, it is important to always
properly wear your seat belts. Your seat belts will help keep you a safe distance from thesteering wheel and instrument panel during
the initial stages of airbag deployment. The
initial stage of airbag inflation is the most
forceful, and can possibly cause serious or fa- tal injuries. Moreover, the seat belts in your
vehicle are your primary means of protection in a collision. The SRS airbags are designed
to provide additional protection. Therefore, for your safety and the safety of all occu-
pants, be sure to always properly wear your seat belts.The front airbags and driver’s
knee airbag MAY NOT DE- PLOY when…
With certain types of frontal collisions, the
vehicle’s body structure is designed to absorb
the shock to help protect the occupants fromharm. (The vehicle body’s front area may de-form significantly as it absorbs the impact.) Under such circumstances, the front airbags
and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy irre- spective of the deformation and damage to
the vehicle body.
Examples of some typical conditions are shown in the illustration.
1- Collision with a utility pole, tree or other
narrow object
2- Vehicle slides under the rear body of a
truck
3- Oblique frontal impacts

Curtain airbag system*
E00409101989
The curtain airbags are contained in the front
pillars and roof side rail. The curtain airbag is
designed to inflate only on the side of the ve- hicle that is impacted, even with no passen- ger in the front seat or rear seat.
Also, when the airbag control unit detects a
rollover of the vehicle, the curtain airbags
will deploy. (if so equipped)
Deployment of side airbags and
curtain airbags*
E00407702669

The side airbags and curtain
airbags ARE DESIGNED TO
DEPLOY when...
The side airbags and curtain airbags are de- signed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a
moderate-to-severe side impact to the middle of the passenger compartment.
The typical condition is shown in the illustra- tion.
1. Moderate to severe impact to the middle
of the vehicle body’s side structure
2. When the vehicle detects a rollover of
the vehicle (curtain airbag only)*

The seat belts in your vehicle are your pri- mary means of protection in a collision. The
SRS side airbags and curtain airbags are de- signed to provide additional protection.Therefore, for your safety and the safety of
all occupants, be sure to always properly wear your seat belts.
The side airbags and curtain
airbags MAY NOT DEPLOY when...
With certain types of side collisions, the ve-hicle’s body structure is designed to absorb
the shock to help protect the occupants from harm. (The vehicle body’s side area may de-form significantly as it absorbs the impact.) Under such circumstances, the side airbags and curtain airbags may not deploy irrespec-tive of the deformation and damage to the ve-
hicle body. Examples of some typical condi- tions are shown in the illustration.

E00502503875
This lamp illuminates whenthe ignition switch is turnedto the “ON” position or the
operation mode is put in ON, and goes off after a few sec-onds.
Always make sure that the lamp goes off be- fore driving.
With the ignition switch or the operation mode in ON, the brake warning lamp illumi-
nates under the following conditions:
l When the parking brake lever has been
engaged.
l When the brake fluid level in the reser-
voir falls to a low level.
l When the brake force distribution func-
tion is not operating correctly.

With the ignition switch or the operation
mode in ON, a buzzer sounds under the fol- lowing condition:
l The vehicle speed exceeds 8 km/h
(5 mph) with the parking brake applied.
CAUTIONl In the situations listed below, brake perform-
ance may be compromised or the vehicle may become unstable if brakes are applied
suddenly; consequently, avoid driving at
high speeds or applying the brakes suddenly. Furthermore, the vehicle should be brought
to a stop in a safe location and to have it
checked.
• The brake warning lamp does not illumi-
nate when the parking brake is applied ordoes not turn off when the parking brake is released.
• The ABS warning lamp and brake warn-
ing lamp illuminate at the same time
For details, refer to “ABS warning lamp”
on page 6-57.
• The brake warning lamp remains illumi-
nated during driving.
l The vehicle should be brought to a halt in
the following manner when brake perform- ance has deteriorated.
• Depress the brake pedal harder than usual.
Even if the brake pedal moves down to
the very end of its possible stroke, keep it
pressed down hard.
• Should the brakes fail, use engine braking
to reduce your speed and pull the parking
brake lever.
Depress the brake pedal to operate the
stop lamp to alert the vehicles behind you.Check engine warning lamp
E00502603137
This lamp is a part of an on-
board diagnostic system
which monitors the emis-
sions, engine control system or A/T control system.
If a problem is detected in
one of these systems, this lamp illuminates or flashes.
Although your vehicle will usually be driva-
ble and not need towing, we recommend you
to have the system checked as soon as possi-
ble.
This lamp will also illuminate when the igni-
tion switch is turned “ON” or the operation mode is put in ON, and goes off after the en-gine has started. If it does not go off after the
engine has started, we recommend you to have the vehicle checked.
CAUTIONl Prolonged driving with this lamp on may
cause further damage to the emission control
system. It could also affect fuel economy and drivability.
l If the lamp does not illuminate when the ig-
nition switch is turned to the “ON” position
or the operation mode is put in ON, we rec- ommend you to have the system checked.
