2022 TOYOTA COROLLA airbag

341-1. For safe use
Vehicles without front side
airbags
The pretensioners help the seat
belts to quickly restrain the occu-
pants by retracting the seat belts
when the vehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe frontal colli-
sion.
The pretensioners do not activate in the
event of a minor frontal impact, a side
impact, a rear impact or a vehicle
rollover.
Vehicles with front side airbags
The pretensioners help the seat
belts to quickly restrain the occu-
pants by retracting the seat belts
when the vehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe frontal or
side collision.
The pretensioners do not activate in the
event of a minor frontal impact, a minor
side impact, a rear impact or a vehicle
rollover.
■Replacing the belt after the
pretensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple colli-
sions, the pretensioner will activate for
the first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent collisions.
WA R N I N G
■Seat belt pretensioners
If the pretensioner has activated, the
SRS warning light will come on. In that case, the seat belt cannot be
used again and must be replaced at
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.

SRS airbags
The SRS airbags inflate when the vehicle is subjected to certain
types of severe impacts that may cause significant injury to the
occupants. They work together with the seat belts to help reduce the
risk of death or serious injury.

The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The SRS
airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. As the airbags
deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with
non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occupants.

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.316)
●The interior lights will turn on automat- ically. ( P.395)
●The emergency flashers will turned on automatically. ( P.462)
●Fuel supply to the engine will be stopped. ( P.470)
●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 4 ) • 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. 6 5 )
■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
●Depending on the type of collision, it is
possible that only the seat belt
pretensioners will activate.
■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield
airbags [if equipped])
●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]).
●Vehicles with an SRS driver’s knee airbag: 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

381-1. For safe use
■Types of collisions that may not
deploy the SRS airbags (SRS front airbags)
The SRS front airbags do not generally
inflate if the vehicle is involved in a side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is
involved in a low-speed frontal collision.
But, whenever a collision of any type causes sufficient forward deceleration of
the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front
airbags may occur.
●Collision from the side
●Collision from the rear
●Vehicle rollover
■Types of collisions that may not
deploy the SRS airbags (SRS side and curtain shield airbags [if
equipped])
The SRS side and curtain shield airbags may not activate if the vehicle is sub-
jected to a collision from the side at cer-
tain angles, or a collision to the side of the vehicle body other than the passen-
ger compartment.
●Collision from the side to the vehicle
body other than the passenger com-
partment
●Collision from the side at an angle
The SRS side airbags do not generally
inflate if the vehicle is involved in a fron- tal or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it
is involved in a low-speed side collision.
●Collision from the front
●Collision from the rear
●Vehicle rollover
The SRS curtain shield airbags do not
generally inflate if the vehicle is involved
in a rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed side or
low-speed frontal collision.
●Collision from the rear
●Vehicle rollover
■When to contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer
In the following case s, the vehicle will
require inspection and/or repair. Contact
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer as soon as possible.

■SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions
regarding the SRS airbags. Failure to do so may cause death or
serious injury.

401-1. For safe use
WA R N I N G
●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.
●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 7 )
●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.

●Vehicles with SRS side airbags: Do
not lean against the front door.
●Vehicles with SRS curtain shield
airbags: Do not lean against the
door, the roof side rail or the front, side and rear pillars.
●Vehicles with SRS side airbags: Do
not allow anyone to kneel on the passenger seat toward the door or
put their head or hands outside the
vehicle.
●Vehicles without an SRS driver’s
knee airbag: Do not attach anything to or lean anything against areas
such as the dashboard or steering
wheel pad. These items can become projectiles when the SRS
driver and front passenger airbags
deploy.
●Vehicles with an SRS driver’s knee airbag: Do not attach anything to or
lean anything against areas such
as the dashboard, steering wheel pad and lower portion of the instru-
ment panel. These items can
become projectiles when the SRS driver, front passe nger and driver’s
knee airbag deploy.
●Vehicles with SRS side airbags: Do
not attach anything to areas such
as a door, windshield and side win- dows.
●Vehicles with SRS curtain shield airbags: Do not attach anything to
areas such as a door, windshield,
side windows, front or rear pillar, roof side rail and assist grip.
