■If the front passenger’s frontal a irbag ON indicator illuminates and the
OFF indicator turns off even when an infant or a small child is in a child
restraint system (incl uding booster seat)
Turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position (vehicles without a smart key
system), or turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off (vehicles w ith a
smart key system) if the front passenger’s frontal airbag ON in dicator illumi-
nates and the OFF indicator turns off even when an infant or a small child is
in a child restraint system (including booster seat). Remove th e child
restraint system from the seat. By referring to the child restraint manufac-
turer’s recommendations as well as the child restraint system installation
procedures in “Child restraint systems” ( P. 137), correctly install the child
restraint system. Turn the engine switch to the “ON” position ( vehicles with-
out a smart key system), or turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to IGNI-
TION ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system) and make sure that the
front passenger’s frontal airbag ON indicator turns off and the OFF indicator
illuminates.
If still the ON indicator remains illuminated while the OFF ind icator turns off,
take the following actions.
● Ensure that no article is placed on the seat other than the chi ld restraint
system and the child occupant.
● Ensure that the backward-forward position and seatback of front passen-
ger’s seat are locked into place securely by moving the seat back and
forth.
If the ON indicator still remains illuminated while the OFF indicator turns off
after taking relevant corrective actions described above, reloc ate the child
restraint system to the rear seat and immediately contact your Toyota dealer
for an inspection.
NOTE
When a child who has outgrown a child restraint system or a sma ll adult is
seated in the front passenger’s seat, the Toyota advanced front al airbag sys-
tem may or may not activate the front passenger’s SRS frontal a irbag
depending on the occupant’s seating posture. The child should a lways wear
the seat belt when sitting in the seat irrespective of whether the airbag is
deactivated or activated. If the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is acti-
vated (the ON indicator remains illuminated while the OFF indic ator turns
off), take the following actions.
102 1-7. Safety information
■If the passenger’s frontal airbag OFF indicator illuminates and the ON
indicator turns off even when the front passenger’s seat is occ upied by
an adult
This can be caused by the adult incorrectly sitting in the fron t passenger’s
seat. Turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position (vehicles w ithout a smart
key system), or turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off (vehicl es with a
smart key system). Ask the front passenger to set the seatback to the
upright position, sit up straight in the center of the seat cushion, correctly
fasten the seat belt, position his/her legs out forward, and ad just the seat to
the rearmost position. Turn the engine switch to the “ON” posit ion (vehicles
without a smart key system), or turn the “ENGINE START STOP” sw itch to
IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system). If the OFF indicator
remains illuminated while the ON indicator remains off, take th e following
actions.
● Vehicles without a smart key system:
Turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position.
Vehicles with a smart key system:
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off.
● Make sure that the front passenger does not use a blanket, seat cushion,
seat cover, seat heater or massager, etc.
● If wearing excessive layers of clothing, the front passenger should
remove any unnecessary items before sitting in the front passenger’s
seat, or should sit in a rear seat.
● Next, turn the engine switch to the “ON” position and wait 6 se conds to
allow the system to complete self-checking. Following the syste m check,
both indicators turn off for 2 seconds. Now, the ON indicator should illu-
minate while the OFF indicator remains off.
If the OFF indicator still remains illuminated while the ON ind icator remains
off, ask the occupant to move to the rear seat and immediately contact your
Toyota dealer for an inspection.
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.
