Front airbags protect the driver and
front passenger in the event of a
head-on collision where the protec-

no longer be sufficient.
In a side-on crash, the side airbag
protects the body from the side in

The knee airbag protects the legs in
the event of a head-on crash.
The curtain shield airbag supports

Keep your distance from the

Always grip the steering wheel
on the steering wheel rim. Place
your hands in the 3 o'clock and 9
o'clock positions to minimise the
risk of injury to hands or arms
when the airbag deploys.
Adjust the seat and steering
wheel so the driver can reach
over the steering wheel diago-

when reaching over, the shoul-

backrest and the upper body
stays as far away from the steer-

Make sure that the front-seat
passenger is sitting correctly, i.e.
with their feet and legs in the
footwell, not resting on the dash-
board.
Make sure that vehicle occu-
pants keep their head away from
the side airbag.
Do not place any other persons,
pets or objects between the
airbags and occupants.
Keep the dashboard and wind-
screen area on the passenger
side clear, for example do not
attach adhesive foil or covers
and do not fit brackets for navi-
gation devices or mobile tele-
phones.
Do not glue the airbag covers
and do not cover or modify them
in any way.
Do not use the front airbag cover
on the front passenger's side as
a tray.
Do not install seat covers, cush-

seats if they are not specifically
designed for use on seats with
integral side airbags.
Do not hang items of clothing for

Do not modify individual compo-

may cause additional injuries when it

Work carried out incorrectly can lead
to a failure, a malfunction or acciden-
tal deployment of t he airbag system. If there is a malfunction, the airbag sys-

an accident, in spite of the accident being of the appropriate severity.
There is a danger of injury or even
death. Have the airb ag system tested, repaired or removed and disposed of
by any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli- able repairer.

The airbags are not designed to be
used in place of the seat belts.
The SRS front airbags and SRS
knee airbags are designed to sup-
plement the seat belts, not be used
in place of them, to increase their
effectiveness as an occupant pro-
tection device.
SRS is an acronym for Supplemental
Restraint System
In the event of a collision, the seat
belts restrain the occupants in their
seats, but if the impact of the colli-
sion is especially severe, there is
danger of an occupant’s head and
chest contacting the steering
wheel, dashboard and windshield.
In this case, the SRS front airbags
and SRS knee airbags deploy
(inflate), instantly creating an air
cushion to help reduce the impact
on the occupants and restrain them
from contacting the steering wheel,
etc. with their head, chest and
knees.
The SRS front air bags and SRS
knee airbags deploy only when an
impact exceeding a certain thresh-
old is detected. In a collision, even
if the impact is severe enough to
cause the vehicle body to deform,
the SRS airbags may not deploy if
the impact of the collision is suffi-
ciently dispersed by the crash
structures of the vehicle body. If the
force of the collision does not cause
the airbags to deploy, the seatbelts
will protect the occupants.
When an airbag deploys, as it will
inflate nearly instantly, it may
impact an occupant and cause an
injury, or the loud noise emitted by
ignition or deployment may cause
temporary partial loss of hearing.
Also, as an airbag and nearby parts
will be extremely hot after the
airbag deploys, touching them may
cause burns. For these reasons,
deployment of the airbags is not
entirely risk free. Therefore, in
order to reduce this risk, the
airbags are designed to only deploy
when additional reduction of the
impact applied to the occupants in
a collision is necessary.

WA R N I N G
If you sit with your head too close to
the steering wheel, when the SRS
front airbag deploys, it may apply a very large impact to your body. Sit in
the driver’s seat with the correct pos-
ture and keep an appropriate distance away from the steering wheel.
Do not position the passenger’s seat
too close to the dashboard or rest your feet on the dashboard, as doing
so may lead to a serious injury if the
SRS airbags deploy. Sit in the pas- senger’s seat with the correct posture
and keep an appropriate distance
away from the dashboard.

Do not attach anything to or lean any-
thing against areas near the SRS

Do not install or attach anything, such
as a sticker to areas such as the
steering wheel pad and near the SRS knee airbags. Also, do not attach any
accessories, such as an air freshener,
to the passenger’s side instrument panel or place anything on the floor in
front of the seat. If anything is
attached to or left in these areas, they may prevent an airbag from deploying
or become a projectile when the
airbags deploy.
