■If the passenger’s frontal airbag
OFF indicator illuminates and
the ON indicator turns off even
when the front passenger’s seat
is occupied by an adult
This can be caused by the adult
incorrectly sittin g in the front pas-
senger’s seat.
1 Turn the engine switch off.
2 Ask the front passenger to set
the seatback to the upright posi-
tion, sit up straight in the center
of the seat cushion, correctly fas-
ten the seatbelt, position his/her
legs out forward, and adjust the
seat to the rearmost position.
3 Turn the engine switch to ON.
If the OFF indicat or remains illumi-
nated while the ON indicator
remains off, take the following
actions.
1 Turn the engine switch off.
2 Make sure that the front passen-
ger does not use a blanket, extra
seat cushion, sea t cover, extra
seat heater or massager, etc.
3 If wearing excess ive layers of
clothing, the front passenger
should remove any unnecessary
items before sitting in the front
passenger’s seat, or should sit in
a rear seat.
4 Turn the engine switch to ON
and wait 6 seconds to allow the
system to complete self-check-
ing. Following the system check,
both indicators turn off for 2 sec-
onds. Now, the ON indicator
should illuminate while the OFF
indicator remains off.
If the OFF indicator still remains illu-
minated while the ON indicator
remains off, ask the occupant to
move to the rear seat and immedi-
ately contact your Toyota dealer for
an inspection.■If the seatbelt buckle switch
and/or front passenger’s occu-
pant detection system have
failed
If the seatbelt buckle switch and/or
front passenger’s occupant detec-
tion system have failed, the SRS
warning light will illuminate. Have
the system inspected by your Toyota
dealer immediately if the SRS warn-
ing light illuminates.
■If the front passenger’s seat
cushion is wet
If the front passenger’s seat cushion
is wet, this may adversely affect the
ability of the syst em to determine
deployment. Wipe off liquid from the
seat, let the seat dry naturally and
then check the SRS warning light.
If the front passeng er’s frontal air-
bag ON and OFF indicators do not
work properly even when the front
passenger’s seat is dry, do not allow
anyone to sit on the front passen-
ger’s seat and hav e the occupant
detection system checked by your
Toyota dealer.
Also, if luggage or electronic
devices are placed on the front pas-
senger’s seat, this may adversely
affect the ability of the system to
determine deployment. This may
prevent the front passenger’s frontal
airbag ON and OFF indicators from
working properly. Check that the
indicators work properly.
When the OFF indicator turns off
and the ON indicato r illuminates, the
front passenger’s frontal airbag may
deploy during a collision. Remove
luggage and electronic devices from
the front passenger’s seat.
■When to contact your Toyota
dealer
If your vehicle has sustained impact,
this may affect the proper function of
the Toyota advanced frontal airbag
system. Have your vehicle
inspected at your Toyota dealer. Do
not use the front passenger’s seat
while driving the vehicle to your Toy-

tions. Failure to do so may pre-
vent the Toyota advanced frontal
airbag system from functioning
correctly or cause the system to
fail.
●Do not apply any strong impact
to the front passenger’s seat
such as by kicking.
●Do not let rear passengers rest
their feet bet ween the front
seatback and seat cushion.
●Do not spill liqui d on the front
passenger’s seat. If liquid is
spilled, wipe it off immediately.
●Do not remove or disassemble

●Do not install any accessory
(such as an audio amplifier)
other than a genuine Toyota
accessory under the front pas-
senger’s seat.
●Do not place anything (shoes,
umbrella, etc.) under the front
passenger’s seat.

players, or electronic games,
especially when connected to the
accessory power outlet and
placed on the front passenger’s
seat or used by the person sitting
in the front passenger’s seat, may
affect the operation of the occu-
pant detection system. If either of
the following situ ations occurs
when using an electronic device
in the vehicle, at first try to relo-

■SRS side airbag
The SRS side airbag is stored in
the door side of each front seat
seatback, which bears an “SRS
AIRBAG” mark.
In a moderate to severe side
impact collision, the SRS side
airbag on the impacted side of
the vehicle deploys between the
occupant and the door panel
and supplements the seatbelt by
reducing the impact on the
occupant’s chest and waist. The
SRS side airbag operates only
for front seat occupants.
■SRS curtain shield airbag
Your vehicle is equipped with a
SRS curtain shield airbag sys-
tem that complies with the Fed-
eral Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard (FMVSS) No. 226. The SRS curtain shield airbag
on each side of the cabin is
stored in the roof side (between
the front pillar and a point over
the rear seat). An “SRS AIR-
BAG” mark is located at the top
of each center pillar.
In a moderate to severe side
impact collision, the SRS curtain
shield airbag on the impacted
side of the vehicle deploys
between the occupant and the
side window and supplements
the seatbelt by reducing the
impact on the occupant’s head.
In a rollover, SRS curtain shield
airbags on both sides of the
vehicle deploy between the
occupant and the side window
and supplement the seatbelt by
reducing the impact to the occu-
pant’s head.
In an offset frontal collision, SRS
curtain shield airbags on both
sides of the vehicle deploy
between the occupant and the
side window and supplement
the seatbelt by reducing the
impact to the occupant’s head
and chest.
■Operation
The SRS side airbag and SRS
curtain shield airbag can func-
tion only when the engine switch
is in ON.
The following airbags deploy
independently of each other
since each has its own impact
NOTICE
If the device continues to cause
interference, the use of that
device in the vehicle should be
discontinued.

WARNING
■After deployment
●Do not touch the SRS side air-
bag system components around
the front seat seatback with
bare hands right after deploy-
ment. Doing so can cause burns
because the components can
be very hot as a result of
deployment.
●After deployment, do not touch
any part of the SRS curtain
shield airbag system (from the
front pillar to the part of the roof
side over the rear seat). Doing
so can cause burns because

WARNING
■Front passenger occupant
classification system precau-
tions
Observe the following precautions
regarding the front passenger
occupant classification system.
Failure to do so may cause the
occupant classifi cation system to
not function correctly, resulting in
death or serious injury.
●Wear the seat belt properly.
●Do not apply excessive force to
the seat.
●Do not put sharp object(s) on
the seat or pierce the seat
upholstery.
●Do not put objects under the
front passenger seat.
●Do not use a seat accessory,
such as a cushion or seat cover,
that covers the seat cushion
surface.
●Do not spill liqui d on the front
passenger seat. If liquid is
spilled, wipe it off immediately
and dry the seat. If the SRS
warning light illumi nates, dry the
seat until the warning light turns
off. If the SRS warning light
stays on even when the seat
has dried, do not allow anyone
to sit on the front passenger
seat and have the system
checked by your Toyota dealer.
If the SRS warning light does
not illuminate, check that the
airbag ON/OFF indicator light
works properly. If the indicator
light does not work properly, do
not allow anyone to sit in the
front passenger’s seat and have
the system inspected by your
Toyota dealer.
●Do not remove or disassemble
the front passenger seat. Also,
do not replace or modify the
seat upholstery or foam inside
the seat.
●Do not install any accessory
(such as an audio amplifier)
other than a genuine Toyota
accessory under t he front pas-
senger’s seat.
●Do not place a magnetized
items near the seat belt buckle.
●Never install a rearward facing
child seat in the front passen-
ger’s seat even if the front pas-
senger’s SRS frontal airbag is
deactivated. Be sure to install it
in the rear seat in a correct
manner. Also, it is strongly rec-
ommended that any forward
facing child seat or booster seat
be installed in the rear seat, and
that even children who have
outgrown a child restraint sys-
tem be also seated in the rear
seat. This is because children
sitting in the front passenger’s
seat may be killed or severely
injured should the front passen-
ger’s SRS frontal airbag deploy.
Toyota believes that the rear
seats are the safest place for
children.
●If luggage or electronic devices
are placed on the front passen-
ger seat, the OFF indicator may
turn off and the ON indicator
may illuminate. If this occurs,
the front passenger’s airbag
may deploy during a collision. If
this is not desirable, remove the
luggage or electronic devices
from the front passenger seat.
