2019 TOYOTA GT86 airbag

62 1-3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)
■Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on imp act. It may also
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend so that you can move around fully.
■ Automatic locking retractor (ALR)
When a passenger's shoulder belt is completely extended and the n
retracted even slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be
extended. This feature is used to hold the child restraint syst em (CRS) firmly.
To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull th e belt out once
more. ( P. 141)
■ Child seat belt usage
The seat belts of your vehicle are principally designed for persons of adult
size.
●Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child
becomes large enough to properly w ear the vehicle's seat belt.
(  P. 137)
● When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicl e's seat
belt, follow the instructions on P. 60 regarding seat belt usag e.
■ Seat belt pretensioners
●Seatbelt pretensioners are not designed to activate in a rear i mpact or
minor frontal or side impact.
● The following four components operate simultaneously when the v ehicle
is involved in a rollover accident.
• Seat belt pretensioner for driver
• Seat belt pretensioner for front passenger
• SRS curtain shield airbag for driver’s seat side
• SRS curtain shield airbag for front passenger’s seat side

●The following four components operate simultaneously when the v ehicle
is subjected to a severe frontal collision.
• Seat belt pretensioner for driver
• Seat belt pretensioner for front passenger
• SRS front airbag for driver
• SRS front airbag for front passenger*
*: This does not operate while the occupant classification syste m deter-
mines to deactivate the airbag operation. For details, refer to “Front pas-
senger’s SRS frontal airbag” ( P. 97)
● The following two components operate simultaneously when the ve hicle
is subjected to a severe collision on the driver’s seat side of the vehicle.
• Seat belt pretensioner for driver
• Side airbag for driver
● The following two components operate simultaneously when the ve hicle
is subjected to a severe collision on the front passenger’s seat side of the
vehicle.
• Seat belt pretensioner for front passenger
• Side airbag for front passenger
● Pretensioners are designed to function on a one-time-only basis . In the
event that a pretensioner is activated, both the driver’s and f ront passen-
ger’s seat belt retractor assemblies must be replaced only by T oyota
dealer. When replacing seat belt retractor assemblies for the f ront seat-
ing positions, use only genuine Toyota parts equipped with a fo rce limiter.
● If either front seat belt does not retract or cannot be pulled out due to a
malfunction or activation of the pretensioner, contact your Toyota dealer
as soon as possible.
● If the front seat belt retractor assembly or surrounding area h as been
damaged, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
● When you sell your vehicle, we urge you to explain to the buyer that it
has seat belt pretensioners by alerting the buyer to the conten ts of this
section.
■ Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate
for the first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent colli-
sions.

SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag)
The SRS airbags inflate when the vehicle is subjected to certain
types of severe impacts that may cause significant injury to th e
occupants. They work together with the seat belts to help reduc e the
risk of death or serious injury.
SRS: This stands for supplement al restraint system. This name is
used because the airbag system s upplements the vehicle’s seat
belts.
Models with SRS airbags and seat belts for driver, front pas-
senger, and rear passengers
Your vehicle is equipped with a supplemental restraint system i n
addition to a seat belt at each front seating positions and eac h rear
seating positions. The supplemental restraint system (SRS) con-
sists of six airbags. The conf igurations are as follows.

90 1-7. Safety information
■When you sell your vehicle
When you sell your vehicle, we urge you to explain to the buyer that it is
equipped with SRS airbags by alerti ng the buyer to the applicable section in
this Owner’s Manual.
Driver’s and front passe nger’s frontal airbags
Driver’s and front pas senger’s side airbags
Curtain shield airbags (for driver, front passenger, and rear p as-
sengers)
These SRS airbags are designed only as a supplement to the pri-
mary protection prov ided by the seat belt.
The system also controls front s eat belt pretensioners. For opera-
tion instructions and precautions concerning the seat belt pret en-
sioner, refer to “Seat belt pretensioners”. (

WARNING
■
SRS airbag
●To obtain maximum protection in the event of an accident, the d river and
all passengers in the vehicle should always wear seat belts whe n the vehi-
cle is moving. The SRS airbag is designed only to be a supplement to the
primary protection provided by the seat belt. It does not elimi nate the need
to fasten seat belts. In combination with the seat belts, it of fers the best
combined protection in case of a serious accident.
Not wearing a seat belt increases the chance of severe injury o r death in a
crash even when the vehicle has the SRS airbag.
For instructions and precautions concerning the seat belt syste m, refer to
“Seat belts”. ( P. 60)
● Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to the SRS airbag. Becau se the
SRS airbag deploys with considerable speed - faster than the blink of an
eye - and force to protect in high speed collisions, the force of an airbag
can injure an occupant whose body is too close to SRS airbag.
It is also important to wear your seat belt to help avoid injur ies that can
result when the SRS airbag contacts an occupant not in proper p osition
such as one thrown forward during pre-accident braking.
Even when properly positioned, there remains a possibility that an occu-
pant may suffer minor injury such as abrasions and bruises to the face or
arms because of the SRS airbag deployment force.
● The SRS airbags deploy with considerable speed and force. Occup ants
who are out of proper position when the SRS airbag deploys could suffer
very serious injuries. Because the SRS airbag needs enough spac e for
deployment, the driver should always sit upright and well back in the seat
as far from the steering wheel as practical while still maintai ning full vehi-
cle control and the front passenger should move the seat as far back as
possible and sit upright and well back in the seat.
● Do not place any objects over or near the SRS airbag cover or b etween
you and the SRS airbag. If the SRS airbag deploys, those object s could
interfere with its proper operation and could be propelled insi de the vehicle
and cause injury.

92 1-7. Safety information
WARNING
■SRS airbag
●Put children aged 12 and under in the
rear seat properly restrained at all
times. The SRS airbag deploys with
considerable speed and force and can
injure or even kill children, especially if
they are 12 years of age and under and
are not restrained or improperly
restrained. Because children are lighter
and weaker than adults, their risk of
being injured from deployment is
greater.
For that reason, we strongly recom-
mend that ALL children (including those
in child seats and those that have out-
grown child restraint devices) sit in the
REAR seat properly restrained at all
times in a child restraint device or in a
seat belt, whichever is appropriate for
the child's age, height and weight.
Secure ALL types of child restraint
devices (including forward facing child
seats) in the REAR seats at all times.
According to accident statistics, chil-
dren are safer when properly restrained
in the rear seating positions than in the
front seating positions.
For instructions and precautions con-
cerning the child restraint system, refer
to “Child restraint systems”. ( P. 137)

WARNING
■
SRS airbag
●NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACING CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT
SEAT. DOING SO RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE CHILD
BY PLACING THE CHILD’S HEAD TOO CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG.
● Never allow a child to stand up, or to kneel on the front passe nger’s seat,
or never hold a child on your lap or in your arms. The SRS airb ag deploys
with considerable force and can injure or even kill the child.
● When the SRS airbag deploys, some smoke will be released. This smoke
could cause breathing problems for people with a history of asthma or
other breathing trouble. If you or your passengers have breathi ng prob-
lems after SRS airbag deploys, get fresh air promptly.
● A deploying SRS airbag releases hot gas. Occupants could get bu rned if
they come into direct contact with the hot gas.
