 Q “PASSENGER AIR BAG” indicator information

in the system. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or

 O Neither “ON” nor “OFF” comes on. 
 O The indicator light does not change when the airbag manual on-off switch is

WARNING
 Q When installing a child restraint system 
For safety reasons, always install the child restraint system in a rear seat. In 
the event that the rear seat cannot be used, the front seat can be used as 
long as the airbag manual on-off system is set to “OFF”.
If the airbag manual on-off system is left on, the strong impact of the airbag 
deployment (inflation) may cause serious injury or even death. 
 Q When a child restraint system is not installed on the front passenger 
seat 
Ensure that the airbag manual on-off system is set to “ON”. 
If it is left off, the airbag may not deploy in the event of an accident, which 
may result in serious injury or even death. 

1001-3. Emergency assistance
HILUX_OM_OM0K513E_(EE)
When the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles with- 
out smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with 
smart entry & start system), the red indicator light will illuminate for 10 
seconds. Then, the green indicator light will illuminate for 2 seconds 
and remain illuminated if the system is functioning properly. The indi- 
cator lights indicate the following: 
 O If the green indicator light illuminates and stays on, the system is 
enabled. 
 O If the green indicator light flashes twice per second, an automatic or 
manual Emergency Call is being made. 
 O If the red indicator light illuminates at any time other than immedi- 
ately after the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles 
without smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehi-
cles with smart entry & start system), the system may be malfunc- 
tioning or the backup battery may be depleted. Contact any 
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer. 
 O If the red indicator light blinks for approximately 30 seconds during 
an Emergency Call, the call has been disconnected or the cellular 
network signal is weak.
