may be sustained from SRS airbags,  
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.357)
●The interior lights will turn on automat- ically. ( P.437)
●The emergency flashers will turned on  automatically. ( P.502)
●Fuel supply to the engine will be  stopped. ( P.510)
●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. 6 9 ) • 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. 7 0 )
■SRS airbag deployment conditions  (SRS front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds  
the set threshold le vel (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  
underride collision, such as a collision 
in which the front of the vehicle  “underrides”, or goes under, the bed  
of a truck
■SRS airbag deployment conditions 
(SRS side and curtain shield  airbags)
●The SRS side and curtain shield airbags 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 
deploy in the event of a severe side  collision.
●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

●Any of the SRS airbags have been  
inflated.
●The front of the vehicle is damaged or 
deformed, or was involved in an acci- dent that was not severe enough to  
cause the SRS front airbags to inflate.
●A portion of a door or its surrounding 
area is damaged, deformed or has 
had a hole made in it, or the vehicle  was involved in an accident that was  
not severe enough to cause the SRS 
side and curtain shield airbags to  inflate.
●The pad section of the steering wheel, dashboard near the front passenger  
airbag or lower portion of the instru-
ment panel is scratched, cracked, or  otherwise damaged.
●The surface of the seats with the SRS side airbag is scratched, cracked, or  
otherwise damaged.
●The portion of the front pillars, rear pil-
lars or roof side rail garnishes (pad- ding) containing the SRS curtain  
shield airbags inside is scratched, 
cracked, or otherwise damaged.

■SRS airbag precautions 
Observe the following precautions  
regarding the SRS airbags.
Failure to do so may cause death or  serious injury.
●The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts  
properly.
The SRS airbags are supplemental  devices to be used with the seat  
belts. 

421-1. For safe use
WA R N I N G
●The SRS driver airbag deploys with  
considerable force, and can cause 
death or serious injury especially if  the driver is very close to the  
airbag. 
Since the risk zone for the driver’s  airbag is the first 50 - 75 mm (2 - 3 in.)  
of inflation, placing yourself 250 mm 
(10 in.) from your driver airbag pro-
vides you with a clear margin of  safety. This distance is measured  
from the center of the steering wheel 
to your breastbone. If you sit less than  250 mm (10 in.) away now, you can  
change your driving position in sev-
eral 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  airbag 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  airbag. 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 8 )
●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. 

441-1. For safe use
WA R N I N G
●Do not use seat accessories which  
cover the parts where the SRS side 
airbags inflate as they may interfere  with inflation of the SRS airbags.  
Such accessories may prevent the 
side airbags from activating cor- rectly, disable the system or cause  
the side airbags to inflate acciden-
tally, 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  airbags to malfunction.
●Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS  
airbags have deployed (inflated) as 
they may be hot.
●If breathing becomes difficult after 
the SRS airbags have deployed,  open a door or window to allow  
fresh air in, or leave 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 consulting your Toyota 
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer,  or any reliable repairer. The SRS  
airbags may malfunction or deploy 
(inflate) accidentally, causing death or  serious injury.
●Installation, remo val, 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, 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  
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

■When installing a child restraint  
system 
For safety reasons, always install a  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 sys- 
tem 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.
■When a child restraint system is 
not installed on the front passen-
ger 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.
Riding with children
Observe the following precau- 
tions when children are in the 
vehicle.
Use a child restraint system 
appropriate for the child, until 
the child becomes large 
enough to properly wear the 
vehicle’s seat belt.
 It is recommended that chil- 
dren sit in the rear seats to 
avoid accidental contact with 
the shift lever, wiper switch, 
etc. 
 Use the rear door child-protec- 
tor lock or the window lock 
switch to avoid children open-
ing the door while driving or 
operating the power window 
accidentally. ( P.123, 153) 
 Do not let small children oper- 
ate equipment which may 
catch or pinch body parts, 
such as the power window, 
hood, back door, seats, etc. 

581-2. Child safety
ous injury. 
 When installing a child restraint  
in the rear seats, adjust the front 
seat so that it does not interfere 
with the child or  child restraint  
system. 
 When installing a child seat with  
support base, if the child seat 
interferes with the seatback 
when latching it into the support 
base, adjust the seatback rear-
ward until there  is no interfer- 
ence. 
 If the seat belt shoulder anchor is  
ahead of the child seat belt 
guide, move the seat cushion 
forward. 
 When installing a junior seat, if  
the child in your  child restraint  
system is in a very upright posi-
tion, adjust the seatback angle to 
the most comfortable position. 
And if the seat belt shoulder 
anchor is ahead of the child seat 
belt guide, move the seat cush-
ion forward.

Check the selected child restraint 
system together with the following 
[Before confirming the compatibility 
of each seating position with child 
restraint systems].
■Before confirming the compat-
ibility of each seating position 
with child restraint systems 
1 Checking the child restraint sys- 
tem standards.
Use a child restraint system that  
conforms to UN(ECE) R44*1 or  
UN(ECE) R129*1, 2.

■Recommended child restraint systems and Compatibility table 
The child restraint systems mentioned in the table may not be available out- 
side the LATIN area. 
When securing some types of child  
restraint systems in rear seat, it 
may not be possible to properly use 
the seat belts in  positions next to  
the child restraint without interfering 
with it or affecting seat belt effec-
tiveness. Be sure your seat belt fits 
snugly across your shoulder and 
low on your hips. If it does not, or if  
it interferes with  the child restraint,  
move to a different position. Failure 
to do so may result in death or seri-
ous injury. 
 When installing a child restraint  
in the rear seats, adjust the front 
seat so that it does not interfere 
with the child or child restraint 
system.

■When installing a child restraint  
system 
Observe the following precautions.  Failure to do so may result in death or  
serious injury.
●Do not allow children to play with 
the seat belt. If the seat belt 
becomes twisted around a child’s 
neck, it may lead to choking or  other serious injuries that could  
result in death. If this occurs and 
the buckle cannot be unfastened,  scissors should be used to cut the  
belt.
●Ensure that the belt and plate are 
securely locked and  the seat belt is  
not twisted.
●Shake the child rest raint system left  
and right, and forward and back- ward to ensure that it has been  
securely installed.
●After securing a child restraint sys-
tem, never adjust the seat.
●When a junior seat is installed, 
always ensure that the shoulder 
belt is positioned across the center  of the child’s shoulder. The belt  
should be kept away from the 
child’s neck, but not so that it could  fall off the child’s shoulder.
●Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint sys- 
tem manufacturer.
