1-1. For safe use
For safety and security
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.

■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.

interfere with pedal operation or 
cause driver distraction, resulting in  an accident.
