1-4. SRS Air Bags
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Pre-
cautions
The front and side supplemental rest raint systems (SRS) include up to
6 air bags. Please verify which ki nds of air bags are equipped on your
vehicle by locating the “SRS AIRBAG” location indicators. These indi-
cators are visible in the area where the air bags are installed.
The air bags are installed in the following locations: • The steering wheel hub (driver air bag)
• The front passenger dashboard (front passenger air bag)
• The outboard sides of the front seatbacks (side air bags) (if equipped)
• The front and rear window pillars, and the roof edge along both
sides (curtain air bags) (if equipped)
The air bag supplemental restrain t systems are designed to provide
supplemental protection in certain situations so seat belts are always
important in the following ways:
Without seat belt usa ge, the air bags cannot provide adequate protec-
tion during an accident. Seat be lt usage is necessary to:
• Keep the occupant from being thrown into an inflating air bag.
• Reduce the possibility of injuries during an accident that is not designed for air bag inflation, such as rear impact.
• Reduce the possibility of injuries in frontal, near frontal or side colli-
sions or roll-over accidents that are not severe enough to activate
the air bags.
• Reduce the possibility of being thrown from your vehicle.
• Reduce the possibility of injuries to lower body and legs during an
accident because the air bags provid e no protection to these parts
of the body.
• Hold the driver in a position which allows better control of the vehi-
cle.

Essential Safety Equipment
WARNING
■Sit in the center of the seat and wear seat belts properly
Sitting too close to the side air bag modules or placing hands on them, or
sleeping up against the door or hanging out the windows is extremely dan-
gerous. The side and curtain air bags inflate with great force and speed
directly expanding along the door on the side the car is hit. Serious injury
could occur if someone is sitting too close to the door or leaning against a
window, or if rear seat occupants grab the sides of the front seatbacks. Give
the side and curtain air bags room to work by sitting in the center of the seat
while the vehicle is moving with seat belts worn properly.
■ Do not attach objects on or around the area where driver and front pas-
senger air bags deploy
Attaching an object to the driver and front passenger air bag modules or
placing something in front of them is dangerous. In an accident, an object
could interfere with air bag inflation and injure the occupants.
■ Do not attach objects on or around the area where a side air bag
deploys
Attaching objects to the front seat in such a way as to cover the outboard
side of the seat in any way is dangerous. In an accident the object could
interfere with the side air bag, which inflates from the outboard side of the
front seats, impeding the added protection of the side air bag system or
redirecting the air bag in a way that is dangerous. Furthermore, the bag
could be cut open releasing the gas.
Do not hang net bags, map pouches or backpacks with side straps on the
front seats. Never use seat covers on the front seats. Always keep the side
air bag modules in your front seats free to deploy in the event of a sid\
e colli-
sion.
■ Do not attach objects on or arou nd the area where a curtain air bag
deploys
Attaching objects to the areas where the curtain air bag activates such \
as
on the windshield glass, side door glass, front and rear window pillars and
along the roof edge and assist grips is dangerous. In an accident the object
could interfere with the curtain air bag, which inflates from the front and rear
window pillars and along the roof edge, impeding the added protection of
the curtain air bag system or redirecting the air bag in a way that is danger-
ous. Furthermore, the bag could be cut open releasing the gas.
Do not place hangers or any other objects on the assist grips. When hang-
ing clothes, hang them on the coat hook directly. Always keep the curtain air
bag modules free to deploy in the event of a side collision or roll-over acci-
dent.

WARNING
■Do not remove interior air bag parts
Removing any components such as the front seats, front dashboard, the
steering wheel or parts on the front and rear window pillars and along the
roof edge, containing air bag parts or sensors is dangerous. These parts
contain essential air bag components. The air bag could accidentally acti-
vate and cause serious injuries. Always have your Toyota dealer remove
these parts.
■ Properly dispose of the air bag system
Improper disposal of an air bag or a vehicle with live air bags in it can be
extremely dangerous. Unless all safety procedures are followed, injury
could result. Have your Toyota dealer safely dispose of the air bag system
or scrap an air bag equipped vehicle.

Essential Safety Equipment
◆Front Passenger Air Bag
The front passenger air bag is mounted in the front passenger
dashboard.
The inflation mechanism for the
front passenger air bag is the
same as the driver’s air bag, as
mentioned above.
For more details about air bag
deployment, refer to “SRS Air
Bag Deployment Criteria”
(→ P. 74).
In addition, the front passenger ai r bag is designed to only deploy in
accordance with the total seated weight on the front passenger
seat. For details, refer to the front passenger occupant classifica-
tion system ( →P. 7 8 ) .
◆Side Air Bags
The side air bags are mounted in the outboard sides of the front
seatbacks.
When the air bag crash sensors
detect a side impact of greater
than moderate force, the sys-
tem inflates the side air bag
only on the side in which the
vehicle was hit. The side air
bag inflates quickly to reduce
injury to the driver or front pas-
senger’s chest caused by
directly hitting interior parts
such as a door or window.
For more details about air bag depl oyment, refer to “SRS Air Bag
Deployment Criteria” ( →P. 7 4 ) .
In addition, the front passenger side air bag is designed to only
deploy in accordance with the total seated weight on the front pas-
senger seat. For details, refer to the front passenger occupant clas-
sification system ( →P. 78).

◆Curtain Air Bags
The curtain air bags are mounted in the front and rear window pil-
lars, and the roof edge along both sides.
When the air bag crash sensors detect a side impact of greater
than moderate force, the curtain ai r bag inflates quickly and helps to
reduce injury mainly to the rear outboard passenger’s head caused
by directly hitting interior pa rts such as a door or window.
For more details about air bag depl oyment, refer to “SRS Air Bag
Deployment Criteria” ( →P. 7 4 ) .
In a side impact
Greater than moderate impact to on e side of the vehicle will cause
the curtain air bag on that side only to inflate.
Only one side curtain air bag
will deploy on the side of the
vehicle that receives the force
of an impact.
In a roll-over
In response to a vehicle roll-over, both curtain air bags inflate.
Both curtain air bags will deploy
after the roll-over accident is
detected.
