441-1. For safe use
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 drive r airbag provides
you with a clear margin of safety. This
distance is measured from the center
of the steering whee l 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.) distanc e, even with the
driver seat all th e way forward, sim- ply by reclining the back of the seat
somewhat. If reclin ing the back of
your seat makes i t 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 downwa rd. 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 caus e death or seri-
ous injury especially if the front pas - senger is very clo se 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.50)
●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.

For safety and security
WARNING
●Do not lean against the door, the
roof side rail or the front, side and
rear pillars.
●Do not allow anyone to kneel on the
passenger seat toward the door or
put their head or hands outside the vehicle.
●Do not attach anything to or lean anything against areas such as the
dashboard, steering wheel pad and
lower portion of the instrument panel.
These items can become projec -
tiles when the SRS driver, front passenger and knee airbags
deploy.
●Do not attach anything to areas such as a door, windshield, side
windows, front or rear pillar, roof
side rail and assist grip. (Except for the speed limit label →P.585)
●Do not hang coat hangers or other hard objects on th e coat hooks. All
of these items c ould become pro-
jectiles and may cause death or serious injury, should the SRS cur -
tain shield airbags deploy.
●If a vinyl cover is put on the area
where the SRS knee airbag will
deploy, be sure to remove it.
●Do not use seat a ccessories which
cover the parts wh ere the SRS side airbags inflate as they may interfere
with inflation of t he SRS airbags.
Such accessories may prevent the SRS side airbags from activating
correctly, disabl e the system or
cause the SRS side airbags to inflate accidentally, resulting in
death or serious injury.
●Do not strike or apply significant
levels of force to the area of the
SRS airbag components or the front doors.
Doing so can cause the SRS air -
bags to malfunction.
●Do not touch any of the component
parts immediately after the SRS air -
bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.

461-1. For safe use
WARNING
●If breathing becomes difficult after
the SRS airbags have deployed,
open a door or side window to allow fresh air in, or lea ve the vehicle if it
is safe to do so. Wash off any resi-
due as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation.
●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 retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
■Modification and disposal of SRS
airbag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or per -
form any of the following modifica -
tions without c onsulting any authorized Toyota ret ailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer. The SRS airbags may mal - function or deploy (inflate) acciden-
tally, 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, d ashboard, seats
or seat upholstery, front, side and rear pillars, roof side rails, front
door panels, front door trims or front
door speakers
●Modifications to the front 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
