104 1-7. Safety information
The SRS airbag can function only when the engine switch is in the “ON”
position (vehicles without a smart key system) or when the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system).
The Toyota advanced frontal airbag system is designed to determ ine the
activation or deactivation condition of the front passenger’s S RS frontal air-
bag depending on the characteristic of the item(s) or person on the front
passenger’s seat monitored by the front passenger’s occupant cl assification
system sensor. For this reason, only the driver’s SRS frontal a irbag may
deploy in the event of a collision, but this does not mean fail ure of the sys-
tem.
If the front sub sensors and the impact sensors in the airbag c ontrol module
detect a predetermined amount of force during a frontal collisi on, the control
module sends signals to the airbag module(s) (only driver’s mod ule or both
driver’s and front passenger’s modules) instructing the module( s) to inflate
the SRS frontal airbag(s).
The driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags use dual stage infla-
tors. The two inflators of each airbag are triggered either seq uentially or
simultaneously, depending on the severity of impact, in the cas e of the
driver’s SRS frontal airbag and depending on the severity of im pact and the
characteristic of the item(s) or person on the seat in the case of the front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag.
After deployment, the SRS airbag immediately starts to deflate so that the
driver’s vision is not obstructed. The time required from detec ting impact to
the deflation of the SRS airbag after deployment is shorter tha n the blink of
an eye.
Both when only the driver’s SRS frontal airbag deploys and the driver’s and
front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags deploy, the driver’s and front passen-
ger’s seat belt pretensioners operate at the same time.
Although it is highly unlikely that the SRS airbag would activa te in a non-
accident situation, should it occur, the SRS airbag will deflat e quickly, not
obscuring vision and will not interfere with the driver's abili ty to maintain con-
trol of the vehicle.
When the SRS airbag deploys, a sudden, fairly loud inflation no ise will be
heard and some smoke will be released. These occurrences are a normal
result of the deployment. This smoke does not indicate a fire i n the vehicle.

WARNING
■
SRS warning light
If the warning light exhibits any of the following conditions, there may be a
malfunction in the seat belt pretensioners, SRS airbag system a nd/or front
passenger occupant classification system. Immediately take your vehicle to
your nearest Toyota dealer to have the system checked. Unless c hecked
and properly repaired, the seat belt pretensioners, SRS airbag and/or front
passenger occupant classification system will not operate prope rly in the
event of a collision, which may increase the risk of death or s erious injury.
● Flashing or flickering of the warning light
● No illumination of the warning light when the engine switch is first turned to
the “ON” position (vehicles without a smart key system), or the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a
smart key system).
● Continuous illumination of the warning light
● Illumination of the warning light while driving

1-7. Safety information
Front passenger occupant classification system
Your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger occupant classifica-
tion system. Using the sensors installed under the seat cover, the
system detects the conditions of the front passenger seat and acti-
vates or deactivates the frontal airbag for front passenger seat. The
occupant classification system m ay not inflate the front passenger’s
SRS frontal airbag even when the driver’s SRS frontal airbag
deploys. This is not a malfuncti on. If the seat belt buckle switch and/
or front passenger’s occupant classification system have failed , the
SRS warning light will illuminate. Have the system inspected by your
Toyota dealer immediately if the SRS warning light illuminates.
If your vehicle has sustained im pact, this may affect the proper func-
tion of the Toyota advanced frontal airbag system. Immediately con-
tact your Toyota dealer and have your vehicle inspected. Do not use
the front passenger seat while drivi ng to your Toyota dealer.

the engine switch is turned to “ ON” position (vehicles without a

which both indicators turn off.
After that, one of the indicators illuminates depending on the status
of the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag determined by the
Toyota advanced frontal airbag monitoring system.

156 2-1. Driving procedures
■After the engine starts
In order to secure a rich exhaust sound when starting the vehicle and envi-
ronmental performance, air intake and exhaust sounds become lou d and
vibrations may increase for a little while after the engine starts. This is not a
malfunction.
■ Operating your vehicle in a foreign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability
of the correct fuel. ( P. 461)
■ REV indicator
WARNING
■When starting the vehicle (vehicl es with an automatic transmission)
● Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the engine
running. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.
● Firmly depress the brake pedal because engine speed may increas e
immediately after starting the engine, when the air conditionin g system is
operating, when turning the steering wheel, etc., thereby causi ng creeping
to become stronger. Apply the parking brake as necessary.
When the set engine speed is reached
the REV indicator comes on and a buzzer
sounds to inform the driver.
( P. 204, 217)
(When the engine speed enters the red
zone, the REV indicator flashes regard-
less of settings.)

When driving
Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before driving
the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a manner app ropri-
ate to the prevailing weather conditions.
■ Pre-winter preparations
●Use fluids that are appropriate t o the prevailing outside tem-
peratures.
• Engine oil
• Washer fluid
● Have a service technician inspec t the condition of the battery.
● Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires.
Make sure to install 4 tires that are of the specified size, an d that
all 4 tires are the same size, same maker, same brand and tread
pattern.
■ Before driving the vehicle
Perform the following accordi ng to the driving conditions.
● Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is
frozen. Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice.
Wipe away the water immediately to prevent it from freezing.
● To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan,
remove any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents
in front of th e windshield.
● Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have
accumulated on the exterior lig hts, vehicle's roof, chassis,
around the tires or on the brakes.
● Remove any snow or mud from the bottom of your shoes
before getting in the vehicle.
