■SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions regarding the SRS airbags. 
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
● The  driver  and  all  passengers  in  the  vehicle  must  wear  their  se at  belts
properly.
The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the se at belts.
● The  SRS  driver  airbag  deploys  with  considerable  force,  and  can  cause
death  or  serious  injury  especially  if  the  driver  is  very  close  to  the  airbag.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) advi ses:
Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75 mm)
of  inflation,  placing  yourself  10  in.  (250  mm)  from  your  driver  airbag  pro-
vides  you  with  a  clear  margin  of  safety.  This  distance  is  measured  from
the  center  of  the  steering  wheel  to  your  breastbone.  If  you  sit   less  than
10 in.  (250  mm)  away  now,  you  can  change  your  driving  position  i n  sev-
eral ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reach ing the ped-
als comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat.  Although  vehicle  designs  vary,  many  drivers  can  achieve  the  10  in.
(250 mm) distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward , simply
by reclining the back of the seat somewhat. If reclining the ba ck of your
seat makes it hard to see the road, raise yourself by using a firm, non-
slippery cushion, or raise the seat if your vehicle has that feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the air- bag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.
The  seat  should  be  adjusted  as  recommended  by  NHTSA  above,  while
still  maintaining  control  of  the  foot  pedals,  steering  wheel,  and  your  view
of the instrument panel controls.
● If  the  seat  belt  extender  has  been  con-
nected to the front seat belt buckles but
the seat belt extender has not also been
fastened  to  the  latch  plate  of  the  seat
belt,  the  SRS  front  airbags  will  judge
that  the  driver  and  front  passenger  are
wearing  the  seat  belt  even  though  the
seat  belt  has  not  been  connected.  In
this  case,  the  SRS  front  airbags  may
not  activate  correctly  in  a  collision,
resulting in death or serious injury in the
event of a collision. Be sure to wear the
seat belt with the seat belt extender.

WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
● Do  not  hang  coat  hangers  or  other  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  w ill  deploy,
be sure to remove it.
● Do  not  allow  anyone  to  kneel  on  the
passenger seats toward the door or put
their head or hands outside the vehicle.
● Do  not  attach  anything  to  or  lean  any-
thing  against  areas  such  as  the  dash-
board,  steering  wheel  pad  and  lower
portion of the instrument panel. 
These  items  can  become  projectiles
when  the  SRS  driver,  front  passenger
and knee airbags deploy.
● 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  attach  any  heavy,  sharp  or  hard
objects  such  as  keys  and  accessories
to  the  key.  The  objects  may  restrict  the
SRS  knee  airbag  inflation  or  be  thrust
into  the  driver’s  seat  area  by  the  force
of  the  deploying  airbag,  thus  causing  a
danger. 

421-1. For safe use
WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
● Do  not  use  seat  accessories  which  cover  the  parts  where  the  SRS   side
airbags  inflate  as  they  may  interfere  with  inflation  of  the  air bags.  Such
accessories may prevent the side airbags from activating correctly, disable
the  system  or  cause  the  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 air-
bag components. 
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.
● Do  not  touch  any  of  the  component  parts  immediately  after  the  SRS  air-
bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.
● If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbags have deployed, open a
door  or  window  to  allow  fresh  air  in,  or  leave  the  vehicle  if  i t  is  safe  to  do
so. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin ir ritation.
● If the areas where the SRS airbags 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  passenger’s  seat.
Doing so will disperse the passenger’s weight, which prevents the sensor
from detecting the passenger’s weight properly. As a result, the SRS front
airbags for the front passenger may not deploy in the event of a collision.
■ Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modifications
without consulting your Toyota dealer. The SRS airbags may malfunction or
deploy (inflate) accidentally, causing death or serious injury.
● Installation, removal, disassembly and repair of the SRS airbags
● Repairs,  modifications,  removal  or  replacement  of  the  steering  wheel,
instrument panel, dashboard, seats or seat upholstery, front, side and rear
pillars or roof side rails
● Repairs  or  modifications  of  the  front  fender,  front  bumper,  or  side  of  the
occupant compartment
● Installation  of  a  grille  guard  (bull  bars,  kangaroo  bar,  etc.),   snow  plows,
winches or roof luggage carrier
● Modifications to the vehicle’s suspension system
● Installation  of  electronic  devices  such  as  mobile  two-way  radio s  and  CD
players
● Modifications to your vehicle for a person with a physical disability 

461-1. For safe use
The  SRS  curtain  shield  airbags  do  not  generally  inflate  if  the vehicle  is
involved  in  a  rear  collision,  if  it  pitches  end  over  end,  or  if   it  is  involved  in  a
low-speed side or low-speed frontal collision.
■ When to contact your Toyota dealer
In  the  following  cases,  the  vehicle  will  require  inspection  and /or  repair.  Con-
tact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
● Any of the SRS airbags have been inflated.
●
Collision from the rear
● Pitching end over end
● The  front  of  the  vehicle  is  damaged  or
deformed,  or  was  involved  in  an  acci-
dent  that  was  not  severe  enough  to
cause the SRS front airbags to inflate.
● A  portion  of  a  door  or  its  surrounding
area  is  damaged  or  deformed,  or  the
vehicle  was  involved  in  an  accident  that
was  not  severe  enough  to  cause  the
SRS  side  and  curtain  shield  airbags  to
inflate.
● The  pad  section  of  the  steering  wheel,
dashboard  near  the  front  passenger  air-
bag  or  lower  portion  of  the  instrument
panel  is  scratched,  cracked,  or  other-
wise damaged.

*6: In  order  to  confirm  operation,  the  BSM  outside  rear  view  mirror  indicatorsilluminate in the following situations:
• When the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles without a smart  key  system)  or  IGNITION  ON  mode  (vehicles  with  a  smart  key
system) while the BSM main switch is set to ON.
• When the BSM main switch is set to ON while the engine switch  is in the
“ON”  position  (vehicles  without  a  smart  key  system)  or  IGNITION  ON
mode (vehicles with a smart key system).
If the system is functioning correctly, the BSM outside rear vi ew mirror indi-
cators will turn off after a few seconds. 
If  the  BSM  outside  rear  view  mirror  indicators  do  not  illuminate  or  do  not
turn off, there may be a malfunction in the system.
*7: This light illuminates on the outside rear view mirrors.
*8: This light illuminates on the center panel.
*9: If equipped
*10: The light comes on when the system is turned off.
WARNING
■ If a safety system warning light does not come on 
Should  a  safety  system  light  such  as  the ABS  and  SRS  warning  li ght  not
come on when you start the engine, this could mean that these s ystems are
not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result in death
or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immedi-
ately if this occurs.
