The SRS airbag and seat belt 
pretensioner devices in your 
Toyota contain explosive chemi-
cals. If the vehicle is scrapped 
with the airbags and seat belt 
pretensioners left as they are, 
this may cause an accident such 
as fire. Be sure to have the sys-
tems of the SRS airbag and seat 
belt pretensioner removed and 
disposed of by a qualified ser-
vice shop or by your Toyota 
dealer before you scrap your 
vehicle.

WARNING
■General precautions while 
driving
Driving under the influence: Never 
drive your vehicle when under the 
influence of alcohol or drugs that 
have impaired your  ability to oper-
ate your vehicle. Alcohol and cer-
tain drugs delay reaction time, 
impair judgment and reduce coor-
dination, which could lead to an 
accident that could result in death 
or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive 
defensively. Anticipate mistakes 
that other drivers or pedestrians 
might make and be ready to avoid 
accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give 
your full attention to driving. Any-
thing that distracts the driver, such 
as adjusting controls, talking on a 
cellular phone or reading can 
result in a collision with resulting 
death or serious injury to you, 
your occupants or others.

WARNING
●Do not attach anything to areas 
such as a door, windshield, side 
windows, front or rear pillar, roof 
side rail and assist grip.
●Do not hang coat hangers or 
hard objects on the coat hooks. 
All of these items could become 
projectiles and may cause 
death or serious injury, should 
the SRS curtain shield airbags 
deploy.
●If a vinyl cover is put on the area 
where the SRS knee airbag will 
deploy, be sure to remove it.
●Do not use seat accessories 
which cover the parts where the 
SRS side airbags inflate as they 
may interfere with inflation of 
the SRS airbags. Such acces-
sories may prevent the SRS 
side airbags from activating cor-
rectly, disable the system or 
cause the SRS side airbags to 
inflate accidentally, resulting in 
death or serious injury.
●Do not strike or apply significant 
levels of force to the area of the 
SRS airbag components or the 
front doors. Doing so can cause 
the SRS airbags to malfunction.
●Do not touch any  of the compo-
nent parts immediately after the 
SRS airbags have deployed 
(inflated) as they may be hot.
●If breathing becomes difficult 
after the SRS airbags have 
deployed, open a door or win-
dow to allow fresh air in, or 
leave the vehicle if it is safe to 
do so. Wash off any residue as 
soon as possible to prevent skin 
irritation.
●If the areas where the SRS air-
bags are stored, such as the 
steering wheel pad and front 
and rear pillar garnishes are 
damaged or cracked, have 
them replaced by your Toyota 
dealer.
●Do not place anything, such as 
a cushion, on the front passen-
ger’s seat. Doing so will 
disperse the passenger’s 
weight, which prevents the sen-
sor from detecting the passen-
ger’s weight properly. As a 
result, the SRS front airbags for 
the front passenger may not 
deploy in the event of a colli-
sion.
■Modification and disposal of 
SRS airbag system compo-
nents
Do not dispose of your vehicle or 
perform any of the following modi-
fications without consulting your 
Toyota dealer. The SRS airbags 
may malfunction or deploy 
(inflate) accidentally, causing 
death or serious injury.
●Installation, re moval, disassem-
bly and repair of the SRS air-
bags
●Repairs, modific ations, removal 
or replacement of the steering 
wheel, instrument panel, dash-
board, seats or seat upholstery, 
front, side and rear pillars, roof 
side rails, front door panels, 
front door trims or front door

WARNING
■Front passenger occupant 
classification system precau-
tions
Observe the following precautions 
regarding the front passenger 
occupant classification system.
Failure to do so may cause death 
or serious injury.
●Wear the seat belt properly.
●Make sure the front passenger’s 
seat belt plate has not been left 
inserted into the buckle before 
someone sits in the front pas-
senger seat.

WARNING
●Make sure the “AIR BAG OFF” 
indicator light is  not illuminated 
when using the seat belt 
extender for the front passenger 
seat. If the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-
cator light is illuminated, discon-
nect the extender tongue from 
the seat belt buckle, and recon-
nect the seat belt. Reconnect 
the seat belt extender after 
making sure the “AIR BAG ON” 
indicator light is illuminated. If 
you use the seat belt extender 
while the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-
cator light is illuminated, the 
SRS airbags for the front pas-
senger will not activate, which 
could cause death or serious 
injury in the ev ent of a collision.
●Do not apply a heavy load to the 
front passenger seat or equip-
ment (e.g. seatback pocket).
●Do not put weight on the front 
passenger seat by putting your 
hands or feet on the front pas-
senger seat seatback from the 
rear passenger seat.
●Do not let a rea r passenger lift 
the front passenger seat with 
their feet or press on the seat-
back with their legs.
●Do not put objects under the 
front passenger seat.
●Do not recline t he front passen-
ger seatback so far that it 
touches a rear seat. This may 
cause the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-
cator light to be illuminated, 
which indicates that the SRS 
airbags for the front passenger 
will not activate in the event of a 
severe accident. If the seatback 
touches the rear seat, return the 
seatback to a position where it 
does not touch the rear seat. 
Keep the front passenger seat-
back as upright as possible 
when the vehicle is moving. 
Reclining the seatback exces-
sively may lessen the effective-
ness of the seat belt system.
●If an adult sits i n the front pas-
senger seat, the “AIR BAG ON” 
indicator light i s illuminated. If 
the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator is 
illuminated, ask  the passenger 
to sit up straight, well back in 
the seat, feet on the floor, and 
with the seat belt worn correctly. 
If the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator 
still remains illumi nated, either 
ask the passenger to move to 
the rear seat, or if that is not 
possible, move  the front pas-
senger seat fully rearward.
●When it is unavoidable to install 
a forward-facing child restraint 
system on the front passenger 
seat, install the child restraint 
system on the front passenger 
seat in the proper order. 
(  P. 5 5 )
●Do not modify or remove the 
front seats.
●Do not kick the  front passenger 
seat or subject it to severe 
impact. Otherwise, the SRS 
warning light m ay come on to 
indicate a malfu nction of the 
front passenger occupant clas-
sification system. In this case, 
contact your Toyota dealer 
immediately.

●Do not modify or replace the 
upholstery of the front seat.
