For safety and security
■There is a malfunction in the system
*1: The system judges a person of adult size as an adult. When a smaller 
adult sits in the front passenger seat, the system may recognize him/her
as a child depending on his/her physique and posture.
*2: In the event the front passenger is wearing a seat belt.
*3: In the event the front passenger does not wear a seat belt.
*4: When a larger child who has outgrown a child restraint system sits in the
front passenger seat, the system may recognize him/her as an adult
depending on his/her physique or posture.
*5: For the child’s safety, install the child restraint system to a rear seat.
When it is unavoidable, a child restraint system can be installed on the
front passenger seat. A rear-facing child restraint system should be
installed when “OFF” of the “PASSENGER AIR BAG” indicator is illumi-
nated. ( P.  6 7 )
*6: In case the indicator light is not illuminated, consult this manual on how to 
install the child restraint system properly. ( P. 67)
*7: In the event of a side collision.
*8: In the event of a frontal collision.

WARNING
■Front passenger occupant classification system precautions 
● Do not recline the front passenger seatback so far that it touches a rear 
seat. This may cause “OFF” of the “PASSENGER AIR BAG” indicator to 
be illuminated, which indicates that the SRS airbags for the front passen- 
ger will not activate in the event of a severe accident. If the seatback
touches the rear seat, return the seatback to a position where it does not 
touch the rear seat. Keep the front passenger seatback as upright as pos- 
sible when the vehicle is moving. Reclining the seatback excessively may
lessen the effectiveness of the seat belt system. 
● If an adult sits in the front passenger seat, “ON” of the “PASSENGER AIR 
BAG” indicator is illuminated. If “OFF ” of the “PASSENGER AIR BAG” indi- 
cator is illuminated, ask the passenger to sit up straight, well back in the 
seat, feet on the floor, and with the seat belt worn correctly. If “OFF” of the 
“PASSENGER AIR BAG” indicator still re mains illuminated, either ask the 
passenger to move to the rear seat, or if that is not possible, move the 
front passenger seat fully rearward. 
● When it is unavoidable to install a forward-facing child restraint system on 
the front passenger seat, install the child restraint system on the front pas- 
senger seat in the proper order. ( P.  6 7 ) 
● Do not modify or remove the front seats. 
● Do not kick the front passenger seat or subject it to severe impact. Other- 
wise, the SRS warning light may come on to indicate a malfunction of the 
front passenger occupant classification system. In this case, contact any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer immediately. 
● Child restraint systems installed on the rear seat should not contact the 
front seatbacks. 
● Do not use a seat accessory, such as a cushion and seat cover, that cov- 
ers the seat cushion surface. 
● Do not modify or replace the upholstery of the front seat. 
● When it is unavoidable to install a rear-facing child restraint system on the 
front passenger seat, do not release the seat belt while the vehicle is mov- 
ing. Doing so may cause the airbag system to be on.
