WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
● Do  not  use  seat  accessories  which  cover  the  parts  where  the  SRS  side
airbags  inflate  as  they  may  interfere  with  inflation  of  the  air bags.  Such
accessories may prevent the side airbags from activating correc tly, disable
the  system  or  cause  the  side  airbags  to  inflate  accidentally,  r esulting  in
death or serious injury.
● Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area  of the SRS air-
bag components. 
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.
● Do  not  touch  any  of  the  component  parts  immediately  after  the  S RS  air-
bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.
● If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbags have deplo yed, open a
door  or  window  to  allow  fresh  air  in,  or  leave  the  vehicle  if  i t  is  safe  to  do
so. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin ir ritation. 
● If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel
pad  and  front  and  rear  pillar  garnishes,  are  damaged  or  cracked ,  have
them replaced by your Toyota dealer.
● Do  not  place  anything,  such  as  a  cushion,  on  the  front  passenger’s  seat.
Doing so will disperse the passenger’s weight, which prevents t he sensor
from detecting the passenger’s weight properly. As a result, th e SRS front
airbags for the front passenger may not deploy in the event of  a collision.
■ Modification and disposal of  SRS airbag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modifications
without consulting your Toyota dealer. The SRS airbags may malfunction or
deploy (inflate) accidentally, causing death or serious injury.
● Installation, removal, disassembly and repair of the SRS airbag s
● Repairs,  modifications,  removal  or  replacement  of  the  steering  wheel,
instrument panel, dashboard, seats or seat upholstery, front, s ide and rear
pillars or roof side rails
● Repairs  or  modifications  of  the  front  fender,  front  bumper,  or  side  of  the
occupant compartment
● Installation  of  a  grille  guard  (bull  bars,  kangaroo  bar,  etc.),   snow  plows,
winches or roof luggage carrier
● Modifications to the vehicle’s suspension system
● Installation  of  electronic  devices  such  as  mobile  two-way  radio s  and  CD
players
● Modifications to your vehicle for a person with a physical disa bility

For safety and security
■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising, etc., may be sustained from  SRS airbags,
due to the extremely high speed deployment (inflation) by hot g ases.
● 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 also be hot.
● The windshield may crack.
■ SRS airbag deployment condi tions (SRS front airbags)
● The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact tha t exceeds the
set  threshold  level  (the  level  of  force  corresponding  to  an  app roximately
12 - 18  mph  [20 - 30  km/h]  frontal  collision  with  a  fixed  wall  that  does  not
move or deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher in  the following
situations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or  sign pole, which
can move or deform on impact
• If  the  vehicle  is  involved  in  an  underride  collision,  such  as  a  collision  in
which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a truck
● Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only th e seat belt pre-
tensioners will activate.
● The SRS front airbags for the front passenger will not activate  if there is no
passenger  sitting  in  the  front  passenger  seat.  However,  the  SRS  front air-
bags for the front passenger may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, even if
the seat is unoccupied. ( P. 45)
■ SRS airbag deployment conditions  (SRS side and curtain shield airbags) 
● The  SRS  side  and  curtain  shield  airbags  will  deploy  in  the  even t  of  an
impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force  corresponding
to the impact force produced by an approximately 3300 lb. [1500  kg] vehicle
colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular  to the vehicle
orientation at an approximate speed of 12 - 18 mph [20 - 30 km/ h]).
● The SRS curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of vehi cle rollover.
● The SRS side and curtain shield airbags will deploy in the even t of a severe
frontal collision.

■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 front airbags to inflate.
● A  portion  of  a  door  or  its  surrounding
area  is  damaged  or  deformed,  or  the
vehicle  was  involved  in  an  accident  that
was  not  severe  enough  to  cause  the
SRS  side  and  curtain  shield  airbags  to
inflate.
● The  pad  section  of  the  steering  wheel,
dashboard  near  the  front  passenger  air-
bag  or  lower  portion  of  the  instrument
panel  is  scratched,  cracked,  or  other-
wise damaged.
● The  surface  of  the  seats  with  the  side
airbag  is  scratched,  cracked,  or  other-
wise damaged.
● The  portion  of  the  front  pillars,  rear  pil-
lars  or  roof  side  rail  garnishes (padding)
containing  the  curtain  shield  airbags
inside  is  scratched,  cracked,  or  other-
wise damaged.
