WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
●Do not sit on the edge of the seat or 
lean against the dashboard. 
● Do not allow a child to stand in front of 
the SRS front passenger airbag unit or 
sit on the knees of a front passenger. 
● Do not allow the front seat occupants to 
hold items on their knees. 
● Do not lean against the door, the roof 
side rail or the front, side and rear pil- 
lars. 
● Do not allow anyone to kneel on the 
passenger seat toward the door or put 
their head or hands outside the vehicle.

WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions 
● Do not hang coat hangers or hard objects on the coat hooks. All of these 
items could become projectiles and may cause death or serious injury, 
should the SRS curtain shield airbags deploy. 
● If a vinyl cover is put on the area where the SRS knee airbag will deploy, 
be sure to remove it. 
● Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side 
airbags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the airbags. Such 
accessories may prevent the side airbags from activating correctly, disable 
the system or cause the side airbags to inflate accidentally, resulting 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 SRS air- 
bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.
● Do not attach anything to or lean any- 
thing against areas such as the dash- 
board, steering wheel pad and lower
portion of the driver’s side instrument 
panel.  
These items can become projectiles
when the SRS driver, front passenger 
and knee airbags deploy. 
● Do not attach anything to areas such as 
a door, windshield glass, side door 
glass, front or rear pillar, roof side rail, 
and assist grip. (Except for the speed
limit sticker:  P. 498)

WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions 
● If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbags have deployed, open a 
door or window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to do 
so. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation.  
● If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel 
pad and front and rear pillar garni shes, are damaged or cracked, have 
them replaced by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
■ Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components 
Do not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modifications 
without consulting any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer.  The SRS airbags may malfunction or 
deploy (inflate) accidentally, causing death or serious injury. 
● Installation, removal, disassembly and repair of the SRS airbags 
● Repairs, modifications, removal or replacement of the steering wheel, 
instrument panel, dashboard, seats or seat upholstery, front, side 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 or 
winches 
● Modifications to the vehicle’s suspension system 
● Installation of electronic devices such as mobile two-way radios (RF-trans- 
mitter) and CD players 
● Modifications to your vehicle for a person with a physical disability

■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 gases. 
● A loud noise and white powder will be emitted. 
● Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and 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 conditions (SRS front airbags) 
● The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the 
set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approximately 20 - 
30 km/h [12 - 18 mph] 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 the seat belt pre- 
tensioners will activate. 
■ SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield airbags) 
● The SRS side and curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of an 
impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding 
to the impact force produced by an approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehicle 
colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle
orientation at an approximate speed of 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph]). 
● The SRS side and curtain shield airbags may also deploy in the event of a 
severe frontal collision.

●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 driver’s side
instrument panel is scratched, cracked,
or otherwise 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.

WARNING
■Using a child restraint system 
The use of a child restraint system not suitable for the vehicle may not prop- 
erly secure the infant or child. It may result in death or serious injury (in the 
event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident). 
■ Child restraint precautions 
● For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child 
must be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system
depending on the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is 
not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be 
crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle’s interior. 
● Toyota strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that con- 
forms to the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to acci- 
dent statistics, the child is safer w hen properly restrained in the rear seat 
than in the front seat. 
● Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger 
seat when the airbag manual on-off switch is on. ( P.  5 6 ) 
In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front pas- 
senger airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child. 
● A forward-facing child restraint system may be installed on the front pas- 
senger seat only when it is unavoidable. A child restraint system that 
requires a top strap should not be used in the front passenger seat since 
there is no top strap anchor for the front passenger seat. Adjust the seat-
back as upright as possible and always move the seat as far back as pos-
sible because the front passenger airbag could inflate with considerable 
speed and force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously injured. 
● Do not allow the child to lean his/her head or any part of his/her body 
against the door or the area of the sea t, front and rear pillars or roof side 
rails from which the SRS side airbags  or SRS curtain shield airbags deploy 
even if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is dangerous if
the SRS side and curtain shield airbags inflate, and the impact could 
cause death or serious injury to the child.  
● Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by 
the child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If 
it is not secured properly, it may cause death or serious injury to the child 
in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.
