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.
●The brakes and stop lights will be con-
trolled automatically. ( →P.220)
●The interior lights will turn on automat-
ically. ( →P.238)
●The emergency flashers will turn on
automatically. ( →P.306)
●Fuel supply to the engine will be
stopped. ( →P.314)
●Vehicles with eCall: If any of the fol-
lowing situations occur, the system is
designed to send an emergency call* to the eCall control center, notifying
them of the vehicle’s location (without needing to push the “SOS” button) and an agent will attempt to speak
with the occupants to ascertain the level of emergency and assistance required. If the occupants are unable
to communicate, the agent automati- cally treats the call as an emergency and helps to dispatch the necessary
emergency services. ( →P.62) • An SRS airbag is deployed.• A seat belt pretensioner is activated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe rear-end collision.*: In some cases, the call cannot be
made. ( →P. 6 4 )
■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 approxi-
mately 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 situ- ations:• 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 under-
ride collision, such as a collision in which the front of the vehicle “under-rides”, or goes under, the bed of a
truck
●Depending on the type of collision, it is
possible that only the seat belt pretensioners will activate.
■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield air-
bags)
●The SRS side and curtain shield air-
bags 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.] vehi-cle 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]).
●Both SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy in the event of a severe
frontal collision.
■Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other than a collision
The SRS front airbags and SRS side and curtain shield airbags may also deploy if a serious impact occurs to the
underside of your vehicle. Some exam- ples are shown in the illustration.
●Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard surface
●Falling into or jumping over a deep hole
●Landing hard or falling

WARNING
●The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause
death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the air-bag.
Since the risk zone for the driver’s air-
bag is the first 50 - 75 mm (2 - 3 in.) of
inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10
in.) from your driver airbag provides
you with a clear margin of safety. This
distance is measured from the center
of the steering wheel to your breast-
bone. If you sit less than 250 mm (10
in.) away now, you can change your
driving position in several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as
you can while still reaching the ped- als comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 250
mm (10 in.) distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward, sim-ply by reclining the back of the seat
somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to see the road, raise yourself by using a firm,
non-slippery cushion, or raise the seat if your vehicle has that feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the air-bag toward your chest instead of
your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as rec-
ommended above, while still main- taining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the
instrument panel controls.
●The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or seri-
ous injury especially if the front pas- senger is very close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be
as far from the airbag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits upright.
●Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or
seriously injured by a deploying air- bag. An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt should be
properly secured using a child restraint system. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and
children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats are safer
for infants and children than the front passenger seat. ( →P. 4 5 )
●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 occu-
pants to hold items on their knees.

WARNING
●If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering
wheel pad and front and rear pillar garnishes, are damaged or cracked, have them replaced by
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
■Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or per- form any of the following modifica-tions without consulting your Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. The SRS air-bags 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, roof side rails, side door panels, side door trims or side door
speakers
●Modifications to the side door panel
(such as making a hole in it)
●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 sus-pension system
●Installation of electronic devices such as mobile two-way radios (RF-
transmitter) and CD players
Exhaust gas precautions
Harmful substance to the
human body is included in
exhaust gases if inhaled.
WARNING
Exhaust gases include harmful car-
bon monoxide (CO), which is color- less and odorless. Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases enter the vehicle and may lead to an accident caused by light-
headedness, or may lead to death or a serious health hazard.
■Important points while driving
●Keep the back door closed.
●If you smell exhaust gases in the vehicle even when the back door is closed, open the windows and have
the vehicle inspected at any autho- rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer as soon as possible.
■When parking
●If the vehicle is in a poorly venti- lated area or a closed area, such as a garage, stop the engine.
●Do not leave the vehicle with the engine on for a long time.
If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space and ensure that
exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior.
●Do not leave the engine running in an area with snow build-up, or where it is snowing. If snowbanks
build up around the vehicle while the engine is running, exhaust gases may collect and enter the
vehicle.

WARNING
■When the Emergency Call may not be made
●It may not be possible to make Emergency Calls in any of the fol-lowing situations. In such cases,
report to emergency services pro- vider (112 system etc.) by other means such as nearby public
phones.
• Even when the vehicle is in the cel-
lular phone service area, it may be difficult to connect to the eCall con-trol center if the reception is poor or
the line is busy. In such cases, even though the system attempts to con-nect to the eCall control center, you
may not be able to connect to the eCall control center to make Emer-gency Calls and contact emergency
services.
• When the vehicle is out of the cellu-
lar phone service area, the Emer- gency Calls cannot be made.
• When any related equipment (such as the “SOS” button panel, indicator lights, microphone, speaker, DCM,
antenna, or any wires connecting the equipment) is malfunctioning, damaged or broken, the Emer-
gency Call cannot be made.
• During an Emergency Call, the sys-
tem makes repeated attempts to connect to the eCall control center. However, if it cannot connect to the
eCall control center due to poor radio wave reception, the system may not be able to connect to the
cellular network and the call may finish without connecting. The red indicator light will blink for approxi-
mately 30 seconds to indicate this disconnection.
●If the battery’s voltage decreases or there is a disconnection, the system may not be able to connect to the
eCall control center.
●The Emergency Call system might not work outside of EU area, depending on the available infra-
structure in the country.
■When the Emergency Call sys-
tem is replaced with a new one
The Emergency Call system should be registered. Contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■For your safety
●Please drive safely.The function of this system is to
assist you in making the Emer- gency Call in case of accidents such as traffic accidents or sudden
medical emergencies, and it does not protect the driver or passengers in any way. Please drive safely and
fasten your seatbelts at all times for your safety.
●In case of an emergency, make lives the top priority.
●If you smell anything burning or other unusual smells, leave the vehicle and evacuate to a safe area
immediately.
●If the airbags deploy when the sys-
tem is operating normally, the sys- tem makes emergency call. The system also makes emergency call
when the vehicle is struck from the rear or rolls over, even if the airbags do not deploy.
●For safety, do not make the Emer-gency Call while driving.
Making calls during driving may cause mishandling of the steering wheel, which may lead to unex-
pected accidents. Stop the vehicle and confirm the safety of your surroundings before
making the Emergency Call.
