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.

Supra Owner's Manual3-1. CONTROLS
CONTROLSWhen the vehicle is involved in a
frontal collision which exceeds a
threshold equivalent to colliding
with a concrete wall which does not
move or deform
When an impact which exceeds a
threshold is applied to the vehicle at
an angle of 30 degrees or less of
the front left or right corner of the
vehicle (A)
WARNING
Do not position the passenger’s seat
too close to the dashboard or rest
your feet on the dashboard, as doing
so may lead to a serious injury if the
SRS airbags deploy. Sit in the pas-
senger’s seat with the correct posture
and keep an appropriate distance
away from the dashboard.
WARNING
Do not attach anything to or lean any-
thing against areas near the SRS
airbags.
Do not install or attach anything, such
as a sticker to areas such as the
steering wheel pad and near the SRS
knee airbags. Also, do not attach any
accessories, such as an air freshener,
to the passenger’s side instrument
panel or place anything on the floor in
front of the seat. If anything is
attached to or left in these areas, they
may prevent an airbag from deploying
or become a projectile when the
airbags deploy.
The SRS front airbags and SRS
knee airbags will deploy when

airbags or SRS knee airbags
have operated
When only a small impact is
applied to the front of the vehicle
in a collision
When the SRS airbag warning
light is illuminated
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

severe side collision
When a severe impact is applied to
the bottom of the vehicle, such as
when driving over a large object in
the road
WARNING
Do not install seat covers which are
not designed for use with this vehicle,
or attach a cushion or any other
accessory to either front seat or hang
anything on either front seatback. Do
not place objects around the side of
either front seat. Refer to 179 for the
installation position of the SRS side
airbags.
WARNING
Do not lean against the door or door
window.
Also, do not install a cup holder or any
other accessories near the SRS side
airbags.
If anything is attached to or left in the
deployment area of an SRS side
airbag, the airbag may be prevented
from deploying or the object may
become a projectile when the airbag
deploys, possibly leading to injury.
Also, if an occupant is leaning into
this area, the airbag may strike and
injure the head or arm of the occupant
when deploying.
When using a cup holder, use the use
the existing cup holders in the vehicle.
Do not place anything but appropri-
ately sized containers into the cup
holders. Refrain from placing hot
drinks or glass containers in the cup
holders as they may cause burns or
other injuries in the event of a colli-
sion or sudden braking.

3Make sure that the key switch is
in the end position so that the
airbags are activated.
The front passenger airbags are
reactivated and can deploy cor-
rectly if the need arises.
The indicator lamp for the front pas-
senger airbags in the roof lining
shows the operating status of the
front passenger airbags.
After switching on the drive-ready
state, the light illuminates briefly
and then shows whether the
airbags are activated or deacti-
vated.
The active pedestrian protection
system raises the bonnet if the
vehicle's front end collides with a pedestrian. Sensors underneath
the bumper are used for detection.
When the pedestrian protection
system is triggered, it creates
deformation space underneath the
bonnet for the subsequent head
impact. Indicator lamp for front pas-

If the front passenger
airbag is activated, the
indicator lamp illuminates

Safety notes
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
the system.

Supra Owner's Manual3-1. CONTROLS
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.
Front-end collision warning with
light braking function, see page
193.
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.
