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

For safety and security
●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.
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
