WARNING
■
SRS airbag
●To obtain maximum protection in the event of an accident, the d river and
all passengers in the vehicle should always wear seat belts whe n the vehi-
cle is moving. The SRS airbag is designed only to be a supplement to the
primary protection provided by the seat belt. It does not elimi nate the need
to fasten seat belts. In combination with the seat belts, it of fers the best
combined protection in case of a serious accident.
Not wearing a seat belt increases the chance of severe injury o r death in a
crash even when the vehicle has the SRS airbag.
For instructions and precautions concerning the seat belt syste m, refer to
“Seat belts”. ( P. 60)
● Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to the SRS airbag. Becau se the
SRS airbag deploys with considerable speed - faster than the blink of an
eye - and force to protect in high speed collisions, the force of an airbag
can injure an occupant whose body is too close to SRS airbag.
It is also important to wear your seat belt to help avoid injur ies that can
result when the SRS airbag contacts an occupant not in proper p osition
such as one thrown forward during pre-accident braking.
Even when properly positioned, there remains a possibility that an occu-
pant may suffer minor injury such as abrasions and bruises to the face or
arms because of the SRS airbag deployment force.
● The SRS airbags deploy with considerable speed and force. Occup ants
who are out of proper position when the SRS airbag deploys could suffer
very serious injuries. Because the SRS airbag needs enough spac e for
deployment, the driver should always sit upright and well back in the seat
as far from the steering wheel as practical while still maintai ning full vehi-
cle control and the front passenger should move the seat as far back as
possible and sit upright and well back in the seat.
● Do not place any objects over or near the SRS airbag cover or b etween
you and the SRS airbag. If the SRS airbag deploys, those object s could
interfere with its proper operation and could be propelled insi de the vehicle
and cause injury.

Before driving
Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed based
on US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The airbag sys
-
tem controls airbag deployment power for the driver and front p as-
senger. The front passenger's air bag system consists of the front
passenger occupant detec tion control module etc.
The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The
SRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag control module. T he
airbag control module cons ists of an airbag sensor.
In certain types of severe front or side impacts, the SRS airba g sys-
tem triggers the airbag inflators. A chemical reaction in the inflators
quickly fills the airbags with non- toxic gas to help restrain t he motion
of the occupants.

If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
●Slight abrasions, burns, bruisi ng etc., may be sustained from S RS air-
bags, due to the extremely high speed deployment (inflation) by hot
gases.
● A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.
● Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover an d inflator)
as well as the front seats, parts of the front and rear pillars , and roof side
rails, may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may al so be hot.
● The windshield may crack.

Toyota advanced frontal airbag systemYour vehicle is equipped with a Toyota advanced frontal airbag sys-
tem that complies with the new advanced frontal airbag requirem ents
in the amended Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No .
208.
The Toyota advanced frontal airbag system automatically determines
the deployment force of the driv er’s SRS frontal airbag at the time of
deployment as well as whether or not to activate the front pass en-
ger’s SRS frontal airbag and, if activated, the deployment force of the
SRS frontal airbag at the time of deployment.
Your vehicle has warning labels on the driver’s and front passe nger’s
sun visors beginning with the phrase “EVEN WITH ADVANCED AIR
BAGS” and a tag attached to the glove box lid beginning with th e
phrase “Even with Advanced Air Bags”. Make sure that you carefu lly
read the instructions on the warning labels and tag.
Always wear your seat belt. The Toyota advanced frontal airbag sys-
tem is a supplemental restraint system and must be used in comb ina-
tion with a seat belt. All occupa nts should wear a seat belt or be
seated in an appropriate c hild restraint system.
The driver’s SRS frontal airbag is stowed in the center portion of the
steering wheel. The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is sto wed
near the top of the dashboard under an “SRS AIRBAG” mark.
In a moderate to severe frontal collision, the following compon ents
deploy.
● SRS frontal airbag for driver
● SRS frontal airbag for front passenger
These components suppl ement the seat belts by reducing the impact
to the occupant’s head and chest.

WARNING
■
If the SRS airbags deploy
Do not touch the SRS airbag system components around the steeri ng wheel
and dashboard with bare hands right after deployment. Doing so can cause
burns because the components can be very hot as a result of dep loyment.
■ Child restraint precautions
NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACING CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT
PASSENGER’S SEAT EVEN IF THE FRONT PASSENGER’S SRS FRON-
TAL AIRBAG IS DEACTIVATED. Be sure to install it in the REAR se at in a
correct manner. Also, it is strongly recommended that any forwa rd facing
child seat or booster seat be installed in the REAR seat, and t hat even chil-
dren who have outgrown a child restraint system be also seated in the
REAR seat. This is because children sitting in the front passen ger’s seat
may be killed or severely injured should the front passenger’s SRS frontal
airbag deploy. REAR seats are the safest place for children.

Operation
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag can function only when
the engine switch is in the “ON” position (vehicles without a s mart key sys-
tem) or when the “ENGINE START ST OP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode
(vehicles with a smart key system).
The driver’s and front passenger’s SRS side airbags and SRS cur tain shield
airbags deploy independently of each other since each has its o wn impact
sensor. Therefore, they may not both deploy in the same acciden t. Also, the
SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag deploys independe ntly of the
driver’s and front passenger’s SRS front airbags in the steerin g wheel and
instrument panel.
A rollover sensor is also located inside the airbag control mod ule.
An impact sensor, which senses impact force, is located in each of the left
and right center pillars, doors and rear wheel houses. Another impact sen-
sor, which also senses impact force, is located under the center of the rear
seats.
If the impact sensor that is located under the center of the re ar seats and
one of the center pillar impact sensors or door impact sensors together
sense an impact force above a predetermined level in a side col lision, the
control module causes both the SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag on
the impacted side to inflate regardless of whether the rear whe el house
impact sensor on the same side senses an impact.
If the impact sensor that is located under the center of the re ar seats and
one of the rear wheel house impact sensors together sense an im pact force
above a predetermined level, the control module causes only the SRS cur-
tain shield airbag on the impacted side to inflate.
If the rollover sensor detects rollover of the vehicle, the control module
inflates the SRS curtain shield airbags. At this time, the driver's and front
passenger’s seat belt pretensioners also operate at the same ti me.

When to contact your Toyota dealer
In the following cases, the vehicle will require inspection and /or repair. Con-
tact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
● Any of the SRS airbags have been inflated.
●The front of the vehicle is damaged or
deformed, or was involved in an acci-
dent that was not severe enough to
cause the SRS airbags to inflate.
● A portion of a door is damaged or
deformed, or the vehicle was involved
in an accident that was not severe
enough to cause the SRS side airbags
and curtain shield airbags to inflate.
● The pad section of the steering wheel
or dashboard is scratched, cracked, or
otherwise damaged.
● The surface of the seats with the side
airbag is scratched, cracked, or other-
wise damaged.

SRS airbag precautions
●The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause
death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) advises:
Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75 mm)
of inflation, placing yourself 10 in. (250 mm) from your driver airbag pro-
vides you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measu red from the
center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than 10 in.
(250 mm) away now, you can change your driving position in seve ral
ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the pedals comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle design s vary,
many drivers can achieve the 10 in. (250 mm) distance, even wit h the
driver seat all the way forward, simply by reclining the back o f the seat
somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to s ee the
road, raise yourself by using a firm, non-slippery cushion, or raise the
seat if your vehicle has that feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This p oints the air-
bag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as recommended by NHTSA above, whil e
still maintaining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, a nd your view of
the instrument panel controls.
● The SRS front passenger airbag al so deploys with considerable force, and
can cause death or serious injury especially if the front passe nger is very
close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far from the air-
bag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passen ger sits
upright.
● Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or
seriously injured by a deploying airbag. An infant or child who is too small
to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child res traint sys-
tem. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in
the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats are
safer for infants and children than the front passenger seat. ( P. 137)
