Advice
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness of the impact, the pretensioning device may be deployed before and independently of the airbags. Deployment of the pretensioners is accompanied by a slight discharge of harmless smoke and a noise, due to the activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the system.In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes on.Following an impact, have the seat belts system checked, and if necessary replaced, by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:- be tightened as close to the body as possible,- be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking that it does not twist,- be used to restrain only one person,- not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,- not be converted or modified to avoid affecting its performance.In accordance with current safety regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle's seat belts, go to a qualified workshop with the skills and equipment needed, which a Toyota dealer is able to provide.Have your seat belts checked regularly by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional, particularly if the straps show signs of damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or a textile cleaning product, sold by Toyota dealers.After folding or moving a seat or rear bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned and reeled in correctly.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is less than 12 years old or shorter than one and a half metres.Never use the same seat belt to secure more than one person.Never allow a child to travel on your lap.For more information on Child seats, refer to the corresponding section.
The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly and that they are all fastened before setting off.Wherever you are seated in the vehicle, always fasten your seat belt, even for short journeys.Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as they will not fulfill their role fully.The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel permitting automatic adjustment of the length of the strap to your size. The seat belt is stowed automatically when not in use.Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt is reeled in correctly.The lower part of the strap must be positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.The upper part must be positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.The inertia reels are fitted with an automatic locking device which comes into operation in
the event of a collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release the device by pulling the strap firmly and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.

Airbags
System designed to contribute towards improving the safety of the occupants (with the exception of the centre seat in rows 2 and 3, if so equipped) in the event of violent collisions. The airbags supplement the action of the seat belts fitted with force limiters.If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors record and analyse the front and side impacts sustained in the impact detection zones:- in the case of a serious impact, the airbags are deployed instantly and contribute towards better protection of the occupants of the vehicle (with the exception of the centre seat in rows 2 and 3, if so equipped); immediately after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly so that they do not hinder visibility or the exit of the occupants,- in the case of a minor or rear impact or in certain roll-over conditions, the airbags may not be deployed; the seat belt alone contributes towards ensuring your protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once. If a second impact occurs (during the same or a subsequent accident), the airbag will not be deployed again.
Deployment of one or more of the airbags is accompanied by a slight emission of smoke and a noise, due to the activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the system.This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive individuals may experience slight irritation.The noise of detonation related to the
deployment of one or more airbags may result in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.B. Side impact zone.

Deactivating the passenger front airbag
Only the passenger front airbag can be deactivated.
When the ignition is on, this warning lamp comes in the seat belt warning display screen. It stays on while the airbag is deactivated.
To assure the safety of your child, the passenger front airbag must be deactivated when you install a rear ward facing child seat on the front passenger seat.Other wise, the child would risk being seriously injured or killed if the airbag were deployed.
Reactivating the passenger front airbag
When you remove the child seat, with the ignition off, turn the switch to the "ON" position to reactivate the airbag and so assure the safety of your front passenger(s) in the event of an impact.
When the ignition is switched on, this warning lamp comes on in the seat belt warning display screen for approximately one minute to signal that the front airbag is activated.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, you must contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional to have the system checked. The airbags may no longer be deployed in the event of a serious impact.
Lateral airbags
Deployment
The lateral airbags are deployed unilaterally in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or part of the side impact zone, perpendicular to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the outside towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inflates between the abdomen and head of the front occupant of the vehicle and the corresponding door trim panel.
If fitted to your vehicle, this is a system which protects the driver and front passenger in the event of a serious side impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the chest, between the abdomen and head.Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest frame, door side.F With the ignition off, insert the key in the passenger airbag deactivation switch.F Turn it to the "OFF" position.F Remove the key keeping the switch in the new position.

ERA-GLONASS emergency call system (if equipped)
If an impact is detected by the airbag control unit, and independently of the deployment of any airbags, an emergency call is made automatically.
Localised Emergency Call
In an emergency, press this button for more than 2 seconds.Flashing of the green indicator lamp and a voice message confirm that the call has
been made to the "Localised Emergency Call"* centre.
Pressing this button again immediately cancels the call.The green indicator lamp goes off.At any time, pressing this button for more than 8 seconds cancels the call.
The green indicator lamp remains on (without flashing) when communication is established.It goes off at the end of the call.
This call is dealt with by the "Localised Emergency Call" centre, which receives locating information from the vehicle and can send a detailed alert to the appropriate emergency services.In countries in which a centre is not operational, or when the locating service has been expressly declined, the call is dealt with directly by the emergency services (112) without the vehicle location.* These services are subject to conditions and availability.
Consult a Toyota dealer.
