WARNING
●Do not use seat accessories which  cover the parts where the SRS side  
airbags and SRS front seat center  airbags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the SRS airbags.  
Such accessories may prevent the  SRS side airbags and SRS front seat center airbags from activating  
correctly, disable the system or  cause the SRS side airbags and SRS front seat center 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 air-bags 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 it  is safe to do so. Wash off any resi-due as soon as possible to prevent  
skin irritation.

are stored, such as the steering  wheel pad and front and rear pillar garnishes, are damaged or  
cracked, have them replaced by  any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any  
reliable repairer.
