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 fro nt
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. Side airbag sensor (center
pillar left-hand side)
Side airbag module (driver’s
side)
Door impact sensor (left-
hand side) Airbag control module
(including impact sensors
and rollover sensors)
Front sub sensor (left-hand
side)
Curtain shield airbag mod-
ule (left-hand side)
■ 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.

WARNING■ SRS airbag precautions
● 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 airbag has deploye d, 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 stee ring wheel
pad and front and rear pillar garnishes, are damaged or cracked, have
them replaced by your Toyota dealer.
