■General Precautions regarding  
SRS Airbag System
●To obtain maximum protection in 
the event of an accident, the driver 
and all passengers must always  wear seatbelts when in the vehicle.  
The SRS airbags are designed only 
to be a supplement to the primary  protection provided by the seatbelt.  
They do not eliminate the need to 
fasten seatbelts. In combination  with the seatbelts, they offer the  
best combined protection in case of 
a serious accident. 
Not wearing a seatbelt increases the  
chance of severe injury or death in a 
crash even when the vehicle has the  SRS airbags. 
For instructions and precautions con- 
cerning the seatbelt  system, refer to  
P.29.
●The SRS side airbag and SRS cur-
tain shield airbag are designed only  to be a supplement to the primary  
protection provided by the seatbelt. 
They do not eliminate the need to  fasten seatbelts. It is also important  
to wear your seatbelt to help avoid 
injuries that can result when an  occupant is not seated in a proper  
upright position.

• Put his/her head, arms or other  
parts of the body out of the window 
In the event of an accident, the force  
of SRS side airbag and/or SRS cur-
tain shield airbag deployment could  injure the child seriously because  
his/her head, arms or other parts of 
the body are too close to the SRS  side airbag and/or SRS curtain shield  
airbag.
●Since your vehicle is also equipped 
with a front passenger’s SRS fron-
tal airbag, children aged 12 and  under or 1.5 m (4 feet 11 inches) tall  
or less should be placed in the rear 
seat and should be properly  restrained at all times.
■SRS Airbag System Servicing 
The SRS airbag has no userservicea- 
ble parts. Do not use electrical test 
equipment on any circuit related to  the SRS airbag system. For required  
servicing of the SRS airbag, we rec-
ommend that you consult your near- est Toyota dealer. Tampering with or  
disconnecting the system’s wiring 
could result in accidental inflation of  the SRS airbag or could make the  
system inoperative, which may result 
in serious injury.
■Precautions against Vehicle  Modification 
To avoid accidental activation of the  
system or rendering the system inop- erative, which may result in serious  
injury, no modifications should be 
made to any components or wiring of  the SRS airbag system.  
This includes the following modifica-
tions.
●Installation of custom steering 
wheels
●Attachment of additional trim mate-
rials to the dashboard
●Installation of custom seats
●Replacement of seat fabric or 
leather
●Installation of additional fabric or 
leather on the front seat
●Attachment of a hands-free micro-
phone or any other accessory to a 
front pillar, a center pillar, a rear pil- lar, the windshield, a side window,  
an assist grip, or any other cabin 
surface that would be near a  deploying SRS curtain shield  
airbag.
●Installation of additional electri-
cal/electronic equipment such as a 
mobile two-way radio on or near the  SRS airbag system components  
and/or wiring is not advisable. This 
could interfere with proper opera- tion of the SRS airbag system.
●Modifications on or inside the front door panels for the purpose of a  
speaker replacement or sound 
insulation. 
• The impact sensors, which detect  
the pressure of an impact, are 
located in the doors.
●Do not perform any of the following 
modifications. Such modifications  can interfere with proper operation  
of the SRS airbag system.

SRS airbag 

421-1. For safe use
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 
to the occupant’s chest and waist. 
The SRS side airbag operates only 
for front seat occupants. 
In a moderate to severe side impact  
collision, the SRS  curtain shield  
airbag on the impacted side of the 
vehicle deploys between the occu-
pant and the side window and sup-
plements the seatbelt by reducing 
the impact to the occupant’s head.
■Occupant detection system 
The occupant detection system  
sensors are installed between the 
seat and seat rails, and monitors 
the physique and posture of the 
front passenger. The occupant 
detection system determines 
whether the front passenger’s SRS 
frontal airbag should be deployed 
or not from the physique and pos-
ture of the front passenger. 
Occupant detection sensors 
The occupant detection system  
may not inflate the front passen- 
ger’s SRS frontal airbag even when 
the driver’s SRS frontal airbag 
deploys. This is normal.

After deployment, SRS AIR- 
BAG start to deflate immediately 
so that the driver’s vision is not

If the front sub sensors located on  
both the right and left sides at the 
front of the vehicle and the impact 
sensors in the airbag control mod-
ule detect a certain predetermined 
amount of force during a frontal col-
lision, the control module sends 
signals to the frontal airbag mod- 
ules instructing them to inflate the  
SRS frontal airbags. Then both 
airbag modules produce gas, which 
instantly inflates driver’s and pas-
senger’s SRS frontal airbags. The 
SRS knee airbag is also inflated in  
combination with the SRS frontal  
airbags. 
After deployment, the SRS airbags  
immediately start to deflate so that 
the driver’s vision is not obstructed 
and the driver’s  ability to maintain  
control of the vehicle is not inter-
fered with. The time required from 
detecting impact to the deflation of 
the SRS airbag after deployment is 
shorter than the blink of an eye. 
If the vehicle is equipped with the  
occupant detection system for the 
front passenger’s seat, the SRS 
system detects whether the front 
passenger’s seat is occupied by a 
passenger or not. If the seat is not 
occupied, the system does not 
inflate the front passenger’s SRS 
airbag. 
The SRS frontal airbag (and also  
the knee airbag) is designed to 
deploy in the event of an accident 
involving a moderate to severe 
frontal collision. It is not designed to 
deploy in most lesser frontal 
impacts because the necessary 
protection can be achieved by the 
seatbelt alone. Also, it is not 
designed to deploy in most side or 
rear impacts or in most roll-over 
accidents because deployment of 
the SRS frontal airbag would not 
help the occupant in those situa-
tions. 
The SRS airbag is designed to  
function on a one-time-only basis.

The driver’s and front passenger’s  
SRS side airbags and SRS curtain 
shield airbags deploy inde-
pendently of each other since each 
has its own impact sensor. There 
fore, they may not both deploy in 
the same accident. Also, the SRS 
side airbag and SRS curtain shield 
airbag deploy independently of the 
driver’s and front passenger’s SRS 
frontal airbags in the steering wheel 
and instrument panel. 
An impact sensor, which senses  
impact force, is located in each of 
the following locations. 
 In the left and right center pillars 
 In the left and right rear wheel  
houses 
 In the left and right doors 
 In the airbag control module 
After the deployment, the SRS side  
airbag immediately starts to deflate. 
The time required from detection of 
an impact to deflation of an SRS 
side airbag after deployment is 
shorter than the blink of an eye. 
The SRS curtain shield airbag 
remains inflated for a while follow-
ing deployment then slowly 
deflates. 
The SRS side airbag and SRS cur- 
tain shield airbag deploy even 
when no one occupies the seat on 
the side on which an impact is 
applied. 
The SRS side airbag and SRS cur- 
tain shield airbag are designed to 
deploy in the event of an accident 
involving a moderate to severe side 
impact collision.  They are not  
designed to deploy in most lesser 
side impacts. Also, they are not 
designed to deploy in most frontal 
or most rear impacts because SRS 
side airbag and SRS curtain shield 
airbag deployment would not help 
the occupant in those situations. 
Each SRS side airbag and SRS  
curtain shield airbag are designed 
to function on a onetime- only 
basis. 
SRS side airbag and SRS curtain  
shield airbag deployment depend 
on the level of force experienced in 
the passenger compartment during 
a side impact collision. That level 
differs from one type of collision to 
another, and it may have no bear-
