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

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.
●Vehicles without an SRS driver’s knee airbag: The pad section of the steer-
ing wheel or dashboard near the front
passenger airbag is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged.
●Vehicles with an SRS driver’s knee airbag: The pad section of the steer-
ing wheel, dashboard near the front
passenger airbag or lower portion of the instrument panel is scratched,
cracked, or otherwise damaged.
●Vehicles with SRS side airbags: The
surface of the seats with the SRS side airbag is scratched, cracked, or other-
wise damaged.
●Vehicles with SRS curtain shield
airbags: The portion of the front pil-
lars, rear pillars or roof side rail gar- nishes (padding) containing the SRS
curtain shield airbags inside is
scratched, cracked, or otherwise dam- aged.

■SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions
regarding the SRS airbags. Failure to do so may cause death or
serious injury.
1924-5. Using the driving support systems
WA R N I N G
●Do not attach objects, such as
stickers, transparent stickers, etc.,
to the outer side of the windshield in front of the front camera (shaded
area in the illustration).
From the top of the windshield to
approximately 1 cm (0.4 in.) below
the bottom of the front camera
Approximately 20 cm (7.9 in.)
(Approximately 10 cm [4.0 in.] to
the right and left from the center of
the front camera)
●If the part of the windshield in front
of the front camera is fogged up or
covered with condensation, or ice, use the windshield defogger to
remove the fog, condensation, or
ice. (P.381, 387)
●If water droplets cannot be properly
removed from the area of the wind- shield in front of the front camera by
the windshield wipers, replace the
wiper insert or wiper blade.
●Do not attach window tint to the
windshield.
●Replace the windshield if it is dam-
aged or cracked. After replacing the windshield, the
front camera must be recalibrated.
Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer for
details.
●Do not allow liquids to contact the
front camera.
●Do not allow bright lights to shine into the front camera.
●Do not dirty or damage the front camera.
When cleaning the inside of the
windshield, do not allow glass cleaner to contact the lens of the
front camera. Also, do not touch the
lens. If the lens is dirty or damaged, con-
tact any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not subject the front camera to a strong impact.
●Do not change the installation posi-tion or direction of the front camera
or remove it.
●Do not disassemble the front cam-
era.
●Do not modify any components of
the vehicle around the front camera
(inside rear view mirror, etc.) or ceil- ing.
●Do not attach any accessories to the hood, front grille or front bumper
that may obstruct the front camera.
Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer for
details.
●If a surfboard or other long object is
to be mounted on the roof, make sure that it will not obstruct the front
camera.
●Do not modify the headlights or
other lights.

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
WA R N I N G
●To avoid risk of burst or severe
leakage, do not drop or damage the
bottle. Visually inspect the bottle before use. Do not use a bottle with
shock, crack, scratch, leakage or
any other damage. In such case, immediately replace.
■Driving to spread the liquid seal-
ant evenly
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of accidents.
Failing to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or
serious injury.
●Drive the vehicle carefully at a low
speed. Be especially careful when
turning and cornering.
●If the vehicle does not drive straight
or you feel a pull through the steer- ing wheel, stop the vehicle and
check the following.
• Tire condition. The tire may have separated from the wheel.
• Tire inflation pressure. If the tire inflation pressure is 130 kPa (1.3
kgf/cm2 or bar, 19 psi) or less, the
tire may be severely damaged.
NOTICE
■When performing an emergency repair
●A tire should only be repaired with
the emergency tire puncture repair kit if the damage is caused by a
sharp object such as nail or screw
passing through the tire tread. Do not remove the sharp object
from the tire. Removing the object
may widen the opening and disenable emergency repair with
the repair kit.
●The repair kit is not waterproof. Make sure that the repair kit is not
exposed to water, such as when it
is being used in the rain.
●Do not put the repair kit directly
onto dusty ground such as sand at the side of the road. If the repair kit
vacuums up dust etc., a malfunc-
tion may occur.
●Do not turn the bottle upside down
when using it, as doing so may cause damage to the compressor.
■Precautions for the emergency tire puncture repair kit
●The repair kit power source should
be 12 V DC suitable for vehicle use. Do not connect the repair kit to any
other source.
●If fuel splatters on the repair kit, the
repair kit may deteriorate. Take
care not to allow fuel to contact it.
●Place the repair kit in a storage to
prevent it from being exposed to dirt or water.
●Store the repair kit in the tool tray under the deck mat out of reach of
children.
●Do not disassemble or modify the
repair kit. Do not subject parts such
as the air pressure indicator to impacts. This may cause a malfunc-
tion.
