The airbags are not designed to be
used in place of the seat belts.The SRS side airbags and SRS
curtain shield airbags are designed
to deploy and protect the torso and
head of occupants when a severe
impact is applied to the side of the
vehicle.
In the event of a side collision, the
SRS side airbag and SRS curtain
shield airbag on that side deploys
(inflates), instantly creating an air
cushion to help reduce the impact
on the occupants and restrain them
from contacting the door window,
door, etc. with their head and torso.
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.
If the force of the collision does not
cause the airbags to deploy, the
seatbelts will protect the occupants. The SRS front airbags and SRS
knee airbags will not deploy when

WARNING
The system can trigger inadvertently
if contact is made with individual com-
ponents of the hinges and bonnet
locks. There is a danger of injury or
damage to property. Do not touch
individual components of the hinges
and bonnet locks.
WARNING
Changes to the pedestrian protection
system can lead to a failure, a mal-
function or accidental triggering of the
pedestrian protection system. There
is a danger of injury or even death. Do
not modify individual components of
the pedestrian protection system or
its wiring in any way. Do not dismantle

CONTROLS
The active pedestrian protection
system is only triggered at speeds
between approximately 30 km/h, 18
mph and 55 km/h, 34 mph.
For safety reasons, the system may
also trigger in rare instances where impact with a pedestrian cannot be
excluded beyond all doubt, for
example in the following situations:
Collision with objects such as a
skip or a boundary post.
Collision with animals.
Stone impact.
Driving into a snow drift.
Immediately drive at moderate
speed to any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer to
have the system checked and
repaired.
Toyota Supra Safety enables the
driver assistance systems to be
operated centrally.
Depending on the equipment,
Toyota Supra Safety consists of
one or more systems which can
help to avoid the risk of a collision.

light braking function, see page

WARNING
Work carried out incorrectly can lead
to a failure, a malfunction or acciden-
tal triggering of the system. If there is
a malfunction, the system might not
trigger as intended in an accident, in
spite of the accident being of the
appropriate severity. There is a dan-
ger of injury or even death. Have the
system tested, repaired or removed
and disposed of by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
WARNING
If the system has triggered or is dam-
aged, its functions will be restricted,
or will no longer work at all. There is a
danger of injury or even death.
If the system has triggered or is dam-
aged, have it checked and renewed at
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
NOTICE
Opening the bonnet when the pedes-
trian protection system has triggered
can result in damage to the bonnet or
the pedestrian protection. There is a
danger of damage to property. Do not
open the bonnet after the vehicle
message is displayed. Have a check
performed by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer.
