■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.

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
WA R N I N G
■When fixing the flat tire
●Stop your vehicle in a safe and flat
area.
●Do not touch the wheels or the area
around the brakes immediately after the vehicle has been driven.
After the vehicle has been driven,
the wheels and the area around the
brakes may be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands,
feet or other body parts may result
in burns.
●Connect the valve and hose
securely with the tire installed on the vehicle.
●If the hose is not properly con-nected to the valve, air leakage
may occur or sealant may be
sprayed out.
●If the hose comes off the valve
while inflating the tire, there is a risk that the hose will move abruptly due
to air pressure.
●After inflation of the tire has com-
pleted, the sealant may splatter
when the hose is disconnected or some air is let out of the tire.
●Follow the operation procedure to repair the tire. If the procedure is
not followed, the sealant may spray
out.
●Keep back from the tire while it is
being repaired, as there is a chance of it bursting while the repair opera-
tion is being performed. If you
notice any cracks or deformation of the tire, turn off the compressor
switch and stop the repair operation
immediately.
●The kit may overheat if operated for
a long period of time. Do not oper- ate the compressor continuously for
more than 10 minutes.
●Parts of the kit become hot during operation. Be careful handling the
kit during and after operation. Do
not touch the metal part around the connecting area between the bottle
and compressor. It will be extremely
hot.
●Do not attach the vehicle speed
warning sticker to an area other than the one indicated. If the sticker
is attached to an area where an
SRS airbag is located, such as the pad of the steering wheel, it may
prevent the SRS airbag from oper-
ating properly.
■Driving to spread the liquid seal-
ant evenly
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of accidents.
Failing to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or
serious injury.
●Drive the vehicle carefully at a low
speed. Be especially careful when
turning and cornering.
●If the vehicle does not drive straight
or you feel a pull through the steer- ing wheel, stop the vehicle and
check the tire. The tire may have
separated from the wheel.
NOTICE
■When performing an emergency repair
●Perform the emergency repair with-
out removing the nail or screw that has punctured the tread of the tire.
If the object that has punctured the
tire is removed, repair by the emer- gency tire puncture repair kit may
not be possible.
●The kit is not waterproof. Make sure
that the kit is not exposed to water,
such as when it is being used in the rain.
