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-

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.
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.

Safety notes
WARNING
Incorrectly performed work in the 
engine compartment can damage 
components and lead to a safety risk. 
There is a danger of accidents or 
damage to property. Have work in the 
engine compartment undertaken by 
any authorized Toyota retailer or 
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
WARNING
The engine compartment contains 
moving components. Certain compo-
nents in the engine compartment can 
also move when the vehicle is 
switched off, for example the radiator 
fan. There is a danger of injury. Do 
not reach into an area where there 
are moving parts. Keep articles of 
clothing and hair away from moving 
parts.
WARNING
The bonnet has protruding parts on 
the inside, for example locking hooks. 
There is a danger of injury. When the 
bonnet is open, watch out for protrud-
ing parts and keep these areas clear.
WARNING
If the bonnet is not correctly locked, it 
can come open during the journey 
and impair visibility. There is a danger 
of accidents. Stop immediately and 
close the bonnet correctly.
WARNING
Parts of the body can become 
trapped when opening and closing 
the bonnet. There is a danger of 
injury. When opening and closing, 
make sure that the area of movement 
of the bonnet is kept clear.
NOTICE
When wipers are folded away from 
the windscreen, they can be trapped 
when the bonnet is opened. There is 
a danger of damage to property. 
Before opening the bonnet, make 
sure that the wipers with wiper blades 
fitted are in contact with the wind-
screen.
NOTICE
When closing, the bonnet must lock 
into place on both sides. Applying 
additional pressure can damage the 
bonnet. There is a danger of damage 
to property. Open the bonnet again 
and close it firmly. Avoid applying 
additional pressure.

parts of the bonnet.
Allow the bonnet to drop from a 
height of approximately 50 cm, 20 
in.
The bonnet must engage on both 
sides.This chapter describes all standard, 
country-specific and special equip-
ment available for the model series. 
It may therefore describe equip-
ment and functions which are not 
installed in your vehicle, for exam-
ple on account of the optional 
equipment selected or the country 
specification. This also applies to 
safety-relevant functions and sys-
tems. Please comply with the rele-
vant laws and regulations when 
using the corresponding functions 
and systems.
Depending on the region, many fill-
ing stations sell fuel that is adapted 
to winter or summer conditions. 
Fuel that is sold in winter facilitates 
cold starting, for example.
For optimal fuel consumption, the 
petrol should be sulphur-free or low 
in sulphur content.

taining metal must not be used. ClosingService products
