Please note the following warning 
because your vehicle has been 
equipped with a front airbag for the 
front passenger seat that cannot be 
deactivated:Before fitting a child restraint on the 
front passenger seat, make sure 
that the front and side airbags on 
the passenger side are disabled.
Deactivating the front passenger 
airbags with key switch, see page 
188. Safety notes
WARNING
If child restraint systems and their 
attachment systems have been dam-
aged or subjected to stresses in an 
accident, their protective function may 
be limited or may fail completely. A 
child might not be adequately 
restrained, for example in the event of 
an accident or braking and evasive 
manoeuvres. There is a danger of 
injury or even death. If child restraint 
systems and their attachment sys-
tems have been damaged or sub-
jected to stresses in an accident, 
have them checked by any authorized 
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer and 
renewed if necessary.
WARNING
If the seat adjustment or child seat 
installation is incorrect, the child 
restraint system may have limited sta-
bility or may not be stable at all. There 
is a danger of injury or even death. 
Make sure the child restraint system 
is firmly positioned against the back-
rest. Wherever possible, adapt the 
backrest angle of all the relevant seat 
backrests and adjust the seats cor-
rectly. Make sure that the seats and 
their backrests are correctly engaged 
or locked.
For Australia/New Zealand:

It is recommended not to 
use any kind of child

Deactivating airbags
WARNING
Active front passenger airbags can 
injure a child in a child restraint sys-
tem if they are triggered. There is a 
danger of injury. Make sure that the 
front passenger airbags are deacti-
vated and the PASSENGER AIRBAG 
OFF indicator lamp is illuminated.

Supra Owner's Manual3-1. CONTROLS
Follow the information on the front 
passenger sun visor.
NEVER use a rearward facing child 
restraint on a seat protected by an 
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, 
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to 
the CHILD can occur.
Except for ASEAN countries, South 
Africa, Australia and New Zealand 
without ISOFIX lower anchorage 
and airbag manual on-off switch: 
Before installing a universal child 
restraint system, move the front 
passenger seat as far back as it will 
go and adjust it to the upper most 
position. This seat position and 
height achieves the best possible routing of the belt and protection in 
the event of an accident.
If the upper attachment point of the 
seat belt is located ahead of the 
child seat's belt guide, carefully 
move the front passenger seat for-
wards until the best possible belt 
guidance is achieved.
With adjustable backrest width: 
before fitting a child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat, 
fully open the backrest width. Do 
not change the backrest width from 
this point on and do not call up a 
memory position.
Note for Australia: ISOFIX child 
seats are not permitted for road use 
in Australia at the time of printing. 
However, also since a change of 
the respective regulations is also 
expected in the future, lower 
ISOFIX anchorages are supplied in 
line with applicable ADRs also for 
Australia.
Please comply with the operating 
and safety instructions provided by 
the child restraint system manufac-
turer when selecting, attaching and 
using ISOFIX child restraint sys-
tems. Rearward-facing child restraints
WARNING
Active front passenger airbags can 
fatally injure a child in a rearward-fac-

vated and the PASSENGER AIRBAG

In a side-on crash, the side airbag 
supports the body from the side in 
the chest, pelvic and head area.
The knee airbag supports the legs 
in the event of a head-on collision.
The curtain shield airbag supports 
the head in the event of a side-on 
crash.
Airbags are not activated in every 
collision, for example in minor acci-
dents and rear-end collisions.
Keep your distance from the 
airbags.Always grip the steering wheel 
on the steering wheel rim. Place 
your hands in the 3 o'clock and 9 
o'clock positions to minimise the 
risk of injury to hands or arms 
when the airbag deploys.
Make sure that the front-seat 
passenger is sitting correctly, in 
other words with feet or legs in 
the footwell, not resting on the 
dashboard.
Make sure that vehicle occu-
pants keep their head away from 
the side airbag.
Do not position any other per-

the airbags and persons.
Keep the dashboard and wind-

Notes on achieving optimum 
airbag effectiveness
WARNING
If the seat position is wrong or the 
deployment area of the airbag is 
restricted, the airbag system cannot 
provide the intended protection or 
may cause additional injuries when it 
deploys. There is a danger of injury or 
even death. Observe the following to 
achieve optimum protective effect.

example coats or jackets over 
the backrests.
Do not modify individual compo-
nents of the system or its wiring 
in any way. This also applies to 
the covers of the steering wheel, 
the dashboard and seats.
Do not dismantle the airbag sys-
tem.
Even if all this information is 
observed, depending on the cir-
cumstances in which an accident 
occurs, certain injuries as a result 
of contact with the airbag cannot be 
entirely ruled out.
The noise caused by the deploy-
ment of an airbag may lead to tem-
porary hearing loss for vehicle 
occupants sensitive to noise.
Have the system checked.
The airbags are not designed to be 
used in place of the seat belts.
The SRS front airbags and SRS 
knee airbags are designed to sup-
plement the seat belts, not be used 
in place of them, to increase their  Operational readiness of the 
airbag system
Safety notes
WARNING
Individual components of the airbag 
system may be hot after airbag 
deployment. There is a danger of 
injury. Do not touch individual compo-
nents.
WARNING
Work carried out incorrectly can lead 
to a failure, a malfunction or acciden-
tal deployment of the airbag system. If 
there is a malfunction, the airbag sys-
tem might not deploy as intended in 
an accident, in spite of the accident 
being of the appropriate severity. 
There is a danger of injury or even 
death. Have the airbag system tested, 
repaired or removed and disposed of 
by any authorized Toyota retailer or 
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.

effectiveness as an occupant pro-
tection device.
SRS is an acronym for Supplemental 
Restraint System
In the event of a collision, the seat 
belts restrain the occupants in their 
seats, but if the impact of the colli-
sion is especially severe, there is 
danger of an occupant’s head and 
chest contacting the steering 
wheel, dashboard and windshield. 
In this case, the SRS front airbags 
and SRS knee airbags deploy 
(inflate), instantly creating an air 
cushion to help reduce the impact 
on the occupants and restrain them 
from contacting the steering wheel, 
etc. with their head, chest and 
knees.
The SRS front air bags and SRS 
knee airbags deploy only when an 
impact exceeding a certain thresh-
old is detected. In a collision, even 
if the impact is severe enough to 
cause the vehicle body to deform, 
the SRS airbags may not deploy if 
the impact of the collision is suffi-
ciently dispersed by the crash 
structures of the vehicle body. If the 
force of the collision does not cause 
the airbags to deploy, the seatbelts 
will protect the occupants.
When an airbag deploys, as it will 
inflate nearly instantly, it may 
impact an occupant and cause an 
injury, or the loud noise emitted by 
ignition or deployment may cause 
temporary partial loss of hearing. Also, as an airbag and nearby parts 
will be extremely hot after the 
airbag deploys, touching them may 
cause burns. For these reasons, 
deployment of the airbags is not 
entirely risk free. Therefore, in 
order to reduce this risk, the 
airbags are designed to only deploy 
when additional reduction of the 
impact applied to the occupants in 
a collision is necessary.
WARNING
Wear the seatbelt correctly and sit 
with the correct posture.
If you sit with your head too close to 
the steering wheel, when the SRS 
front airbag deploys, it may apply a 
very large impact to your body. Sit in 
the driver’s seat with the correct pos-
ture and keep an appropriate distance 
away from the steering wheel.
