3 If wearing excessive layers of cloth-
ing, the front passenger should remove any unnecessary items
before sitting in the front passen-
ger’s seat, or should sit in a rear seat.
4 Turn the engine switch to ON and
wait 6 seconds to allow the system
to complete self-checking. Following the system check, both indicators
turn off for 2 seconds. Now, the ON
indicator should illuminate while the OFF indicator remains off.
If the OFF indicator still remains illumi-
nated while the ON indicator remains off, ask the occupant to move to the rear
seat. We recommend that you immedi-
ately contact your Toyota dealer for an inspection.
■If the seatbelt buckle switch and/or
front passenger’s occupant detec-
tion system have failed
If the seatbelt buckle switch and/or front
passenger’s occupant detection system
have failed, the SRS warning light will illuminate. We recommend that you
have the system inspected by your
Toyota dealer immediately if the SRS warning light illuminates.
■When to contact your Toyota dealer
or another service center
If your vehicle has sustained impact, this may affect the proper function of the
front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag
system. We recommend that you have your vehicle inspected at your Toyota
dealer. Do not use the front passenger’s
seat while driving the vehicle to your Toyota dealer or another service center.
■System operation
The SRS airbags can function only
when the engine switch is in the ON.
When SRS airbags deploy, a sudden, fairly loud inflation noise will be heard
and some smoke will be released.
These occurrences are a normal result of the deployment. This smoke does not
indicate a fire in the vehicle.
WA R N I N G
■Warning labels
Warning labels are located on both
sides of the front passenger’s sun visor. Carefully read the description in
P.56.
■When using a child restraint sys-
tem
NEVER INSTALL A CHILD SEAT IN
THE FRONT SEAT EVEN IF THE FRONT PASSENGER’S SRS FRON-
TAL AIRBAG IS DEACTIVATED. Be
sure to install it in the REAR seat in a correct manner. Also, it is strongly
recommended that any forward facing
child seat or booster seat be installed in the REAR seat, and that even chil-
dren who have outgrown a child
restraint system be al so seated in the REAR seat. This is because children
sitting in the front passenger’s seat
may be killed or severely injured should the front passenger’s SRS
frontal airbag deploy. REAR seats are
the safest place for children.
■General Precautions regarding
front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag
When the front passenger’s seat is
occupied by an adult, do not place anything (shoes, umbrella, etc.) under
the front passenger’s seat. Doing so
may deactivate the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag despite the fact
that the seat is occupied by an adult.
This may result in personal injury.
●Do not allow the rear seat occupant
to lift the front passenger's seat cushion using his/her feet.
●Do not squeeze any article between the front passenger's seat and side
trim/pillar, door or center console
box. This may lift the seat cushion.

■When a small adult is seated in
the front passenger’s seat
When a small adult is seated in the front passenger’s seat, the SRS fron-
tal airbag system may or may not acti-
vate the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag depending on the occu-
pant’s seating posture. If the OFF
indicator remains illuminated while
the ON indicator turns off when a small adult is seated in the front pas-
senger's seat, refer to P.46.
■General Precautions regarding
occupant detection system
Do not kick the front passenger seat or subject it to severe impact. Other-
wise, the SRS warning light may illu-
minate to indicate a malfunction of the front passenger occupant detection
system. In this case, we recommend
that you contact your Toyota dealer immediately.
■After deployment
Do not touch the SRS airbag system
components with bare hands right
after deployment. Doing so can cause burns because the components can
be very hot as a result of deployment.
NOTICE
■Front passenger’s SRS frontal
airbag
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may prevent the front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag from functioning co rrectly or cause the sys-
tem to fail.
●Do not apply any strong impact to
the front passenger’s seat such as
by kicking.
●Do not let rear passengers rest their
feet between the front seatback and seat cushion.
●Do not spill liquid on the front pas-senger’s seat. If liquid is spilled,
wipe it off immediately.
●Do not remove or disassemble the
front passenger’s seat.
●Do not install any accessory (such
as an audio amplifier) other than a
genuine Toyota accessory under the front passenger’s seat.
●Do not place anything (shoes, umbrella, etc.) under the front pas-
senger’s seat.
●Do not place any objects (books,
etc.) around the front passenger’s
seat.
●Do not use the front passenger’s
seat with the head restraint removed.
●Do not leave any articles on the front passenger’s seat or the
seatbelt tongue and buckle
engaged when you leave your vehi- cle.
●Do not put sharp object(s) on the seat or pierce the seat upholstery.
●Do not place a magnet near the seatbelt buckle and the seatbelt
retractor.
●Do not use front seats with their for-
ward-backward position adjuster
and seatback adjuster not being locked into place securely. If any of
them are not locked securely, adjust
them again. For adjusting proce- dure, refer to P.117.

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 window lock switch to
avoid children operating the
power window accidentally.

■When children are in the vehicle
Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle, and never allow children to have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehi-
cle or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is also a danger that children
may injure themselves by playing with
the windows or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or
extremely cold temperatures inside
the vehicle can be fatal to children.
Child restraint systems
Before installing a child
restraint system in the vehicle,
there are precautions that need
to be observed, different types
of child restraint systems, as
well as installation methods,
etc., written in this manual.
Use a child restraint system
when riding with a small child
that cannot properly use a seat
belt. For the child’s safety,
install the child restraint sys-
tem to a rear se at. Be sure to
follow the insta llation method
that is in the operation manual
enclosed with the restraint sys-
tem.
The use of a Toyota genuine
child restraint system is rec-
ommended, as it is safer to
use in this vehicle. Toyota gen-
uine child restraint systems
are made specifically for
Toyota vehicles. They can be
purchased at a Toyota dealer.

Points to remember
WA R N I N G
■When a child is riding
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●For effective protection in automo- bile accidents and sudden stops, a
child must be properly restrained,
using a seat belt or child restraint system which is corr ectly installed.
For installation details, refer to the
operation manual enclosed with the child restraint system. General
installation instruction is provided in
this manual.
●Toyota strongly urges the use of a
proper child rest raint system that conforms to the weight and size of
the child, installed on the rear seat.
According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly
restrained in the rear seat than in
the front seat.
●Holding a child in your or someone
else’s arms is not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an acci-
dent, the child can be crushed
against the windshield or between the holder and the interior of the
vehicle.
■Handling the child restraint sys-
tem
If the child restraint system is not properly fixed in place, the child or
other passengers may be seriously
injured or even killed in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving, or
an accident.
●If the vehicle were to receive a
strong impact from an accident,
etc., it is possible that the child restraint system has damage that is
not readily visible. In such cases,
do not reuse the restraint system.

■When installing a child
restraint system to a front pas-
senger seat
Child restraint systems cannot be
installed to the front passenger's
seat.

●Depending on the child restraint
system, installation may be difficult
or impossible. In those cases, check whether the child restraint
system is suitable for installment in
the vehicle. ( P.60) Be sure to install and observe the usage rules
after carefully reading the child
restraint system fixing method in
this manual, as well as the opera- tion manual enclosed with the child
restraint system.
●Keep the child re straint system
properly secured on the seat even if
it is not in use. Do not store the child restraint system unsecured in
the passenger compartment.
●If it is necessary to detach the child
restraint system, remove it from the
vehicle or store it securely in the trunk.

■When installing a child restraint
system
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●Never use a rear-facing child restraint system on the front pas-
senger seat.
The force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag can
cause death or serious injury to
children in the event of an accident.
●There is a label(s) on the passen-
ger side sun visor, indicating it is forbidden to attach a rear-facing
child restraint system to the front
passenger seat. However, as child restraint systems cannot be
installed to the front passenger seat
of this model, do not use a child restraint system on the front pas-
senger seat regardless of the direc-
tion it is facing. Details of the label(s) are shown in
the illustration below.

●Do not allow the child to lean
his/her head or any part of his/her body against the door or the area of
the seat, front or rear pillars, or roof
side rails from which the SRS side airbags or SRS curtain shield
airbags deploy even if the child is
seated in the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the SRS side
airbags and curtain shield airbags
inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.
●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.
●Use child restrain t system suitable to the age and size of the child and
install it to the rear seat.
