■Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also
lock if you lean forward too quickly.
When the seat belt locks, pull the belt strongly and then release the belt, then
a slow and easy pulling will allow the
belt to extend.
When fastening a front seat belt,
ensure that it is passed through the
seat belt guide. Passing the seat
belt through the guide enables the
seat belt to be easily extended.
When you get into or out of the rear
seats, release the seat belt from the
seat belt guide.
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 se vere frontal colli-
sion.
The front seat belt pretensioners also
activate when the vehicle is subjected
to certain types of severe 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.

■Location of the SRS airbags
The SRS airbags are stowed in the following locations.
SRS airbags
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) name is used because the
airbag system supplements the vehicle’s seatbelts.
This vehicle is equipped with a supplemental restraint system which
consists of seven airbags.
The configurations are as follows.
Driver’s and front passenger’s frontal airbags
Driver’s and front passenger’s side airbags
Curtain shield airbags (for driver, front passenger and rear passengers)
Knee airbag for driver
These SRS airbags are designed only as a supplement to the pri-
mary protection provided by the seatbelt.
The system also controls seatbelt pretensioners. For operation
instructions and precautions concerning the seatbelt pretensioner,
refer to P.31.

■If the SRS airbag deploys
If the SRS airbag deploys, the fuel sup-
ply will be cut off to reduce the risk of fire caused by leaking fuel. For details about
restarting of the engine, refer to P.335.
■SRS Airbag System Servicing
In the following cases, we recommend that you contact your Toyota dealer as
soon as possible.
●The front part of the vehicle was
involved in an accident in which the
SRS frontal airbags did not deploy.
●The pad of the steering wheel, the
cover over the front passenger’s fron- tal airbag, or either roof side (from the
front pillar to a point over the rear
seat) is scratched, cracked, or other- wise damaged.
●The center pillar, rear wheel house or rear sub frame, or an area near these
parts, was involved in an accident in
which the SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag did not deploy.
●The fabric or leather of either front seatback is cut, frayed, or otherwise
damaged.
●The rear part of the vehicle was
involved in an accident.
■When you sell your vehicle
When you sell your vehicle, we urge you to inform the buyer that the vehicle is
equipped with SRS airbags. Also, notify
the buyer of the applicable section in this Owner’s Manual.

■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.

●The SRS airbags deploy with con-
siderable speed and force. Occu-
pants who are out of the proper position when the SRS airbags
deploy could suffer very serious
injuries. Because the SRS airbags need enough space for deploy-
ment, the driver should always sit
upright and well back in the seat as
far from the steering wheel as prac- tical while still maintaining full vehi-
cle control and the front passenger
should move the seat as far back as possible and sit upright and well
back in the seat.
●Do not sit or lean unnecessarily
close to either door. The SRS side
airbags are stored in both front seat seatbacks next to the door, and
they provide protection by deploy-
ing rapidly (faster than the blink of an eye) in the event of a side
impact collision. However, the force
of SRS side airbag deployment may cause injuries if the head or
other parts of the body are too close
to the SRS side airbag.
●Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to the door, windows or pillars
on either side. Also, do not put your
head, arms or hands out of the win- dow. The curtain shield airbags on
both sides of the cabin are stored in
the roof side (between the front pil- lar and a point over the rear seat),
and they provide protection by
deploying rapidly (faster than the blink of an eye) in the event of a
side impact or an offset frontal colli-
sion.
●Do not sit or lean unnecessarily
close to the SRS airbag. Because the SRS airbag deploys with con-
siderable speed faster than the
blink of an eye and force to pro- tect in high speed collisions, the
force of an airbag can injure an
occupant whose body is too close to SRS airbag.
It is also important to wear your
seatbelt to help avoid injuries that can result when the SRS airbag
contacts an occupant not in the
proper position such as one thrown forward during preaccident braking.
Even when properly positioned,
there remains a possibility that an occupant may suffer minor injury
such as abrasions and bruises to
the face or arms because of the SRS airbag deployment force.
●Do not rest your arm on either door or its internal trim. You could be
injured in the event of SRS side
airbag deployment.

●Do not place any objects over or
near the SRS airbag cover or
between you and the SRS airbag. If the SRS airbag deploys, those
objects could interfere with its
proper operation and could be pro- pelled inside the vehicle and cause
injury.
■If the SRS airbag deploys
●When the SRS airbag deploys,
some smoke will be released. This
smoke could cause breathing prob- lems for people with a history of
asthma or other breathing trouble. If
you or your passengers have breathing problems after SRS
airbag deploys, get fresh air
promptly.
●A deploying SRS airbag releases
hot gas. Occupants could get burned if they come into direct con-
tact with the hot gas.
■General Precautions regarding
SRS Airbag System for Accesso-
ries and Any Objects
●Do not put any objects (including
straps or cords) over the steering
wheel pad, column cover, or dash- board.
• These objects could be entangled
with the steering wheel, preventing the SRS frontal airbag, etc. from
operating properly.
• If the SRS frontal airbag deploys, these objects could be propelled
inside the vehicle, causing injury.
●Do not put any objects under the driver’s side of the instrument
panel. If the SRS knee airbag
deploys, those objects could inter- fere with its proper operation and
could be propelled inside the vehi-
cle and cause injury.
●Do not attach accessories to the
windshield, or fit an extra-wide mir- ror over the inside rear view mirror.
If the SRS airbag deploys, those
objects could become projectiles that could seriously injure vehicle
occupants.

WA R N I N G
●Do not attach accessories to the
door trim or near either SRS side
airbags and do not place objects near the SRS side airbags. In the
event of SRS side airbag deploy-
ment, they could be propelled dan- gerously toward the vehicle’s
occupants and cause injuries.
●Do not attach 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, or any other cabin surface that
would be near a deploying SRS
curtain shield airbag. A hands-free microphone or other accessory in
such a location could be propelled
through the cabin with great force by the curtain shield airbag, or it
could prevent correct deployment of
the curtain shield airbag. In either case, the result could be serious
injuries.
●Never hang or place coat hangers
or other hard or pointed objects
near the side windows. If such items are present when the SRS
curtain shield airbags deploy, they
could be thrown through the pas- senger compartment and cause
serious injuries. They could also
prevent proper operation of the SRS curtain shield airbags.
●Do not put any kind of cover or clothes or other objects over either
front seatback and do not attach
labels or stickers to the front seat surface on or near the SRS side
airbag. They could prevent proper
deployment of the SRS side airbag, reducing protection available to the
front seat’s occupant.
●Do not install a seat cover unless it
is a genuine Toyota seat cover
exclusively designed for use with the SRS airbag. Even when using a
genuine Toyota seat cover, the SRS
side airbag system may not func- tion normally if the seat cover is not
installed correctly.
