■
Driver’s SRS frontal airbag
The driver’s SRS frontal airbag uses a dual stage inflator. The inflator oper-
ates in different ways depending on the severity of impact.
Have the system inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately if the SRS
warning light illuminates.
NOTE
The driver’s SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag are not con-
trolled by the Toyota advanced frontal airbag system.
■ Front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag
The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag uses a dual stage inflator. The
inflator operates in different ways depending on the severity of impact.
The occupant classification system sensor is installed under th e seat uphol-
stery and monitors the physique and posture of the front passen ger. Using
this information, the occupant classification system determines whether the
front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag should be deployed or not.
The occupant classification system may not inflate the front passenger’s
SRS frontal airbag even when the driver’s SRS frontal airbag de ploys. This
is normal. In this case, although the front passenger’s SRS fro ntal airbag
does not operate, the front passenger’s seat belt pretensioner operates with
the driver’s seat belt pretensioner. For details about the seat belt preten-
sioner, refer to “Seat belt pretensioners”. ( P. 61)
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may prevent the Toyota
advanced frontal airbag system from functioning correctly or ca use the sys-
tem to fail.
● Do not apply any strong impact to the front passenger’s seat.
● Do not spill liquid on the front passenger’s seat. If liquid is spilled, wipe it
off immediately.
● Do not remove or disassemble the front passenger’s seat.
● Do not install any accessory (such as an audio amplifier) other than a
genuine Toyota accessory under the front passenger’s seat.
● Do not place anything (shoes, umbrella, etc.) under the front p assenger’s
seat.
● Do not place a magnet near the seat belt buckle.

98 1-7. Safety information
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 illumi-
nates.
If your vehicle has sustained impact, this may affect the proper function of
the Toyota advanced frontal airbag system. Have your vehicle in spected at
your Toyota dealer. Do not use the front passenger’s seat while driving the
vehicle to your Toyota dealer.
NOTE
The front passenger’s SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield ai rbag are
not controlled by the Toyota advanced frontal airbag system.
■ Passenger’s frontal airba g ON and OFF indicators
P. 128
■ Occupant classification system
The occupant classification system sensor is installed under th e seat uphol-
stery and monitors the physique and posture of the front passen ger. Using
this information, the occupant classification system determines whether the
front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag should be deployed or not.
If the front passenger’s seat cushion is wet, this may adversel y affect the
ability of the system to determine deployment. If the seat cush ion is wet, the
front passenger should stop sitting on the front passenger’s se at. Wipe off
liquid from the seat immediately, let the seat dry naturally an d then check the
SRS warning light as follows.
● If the SRS warning light illuminates, keep the seat dry until t he warning
light turns off. If the SRS warning light stays on even when th e seat has
dried, do not allow anyone to sit on the front passenger’s seat and have
the system checked by your Toyota dealer.
● If the SRS warning light does not illuminate, check that the fr ont passen-
ger’s frontal airbag ON and OFF indicators work properly. If th e indicators
do not work properly, do not allow anyone to sit on the front p assenger’s
seat and have the system checked by your Toyota dealer.
