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.
