1-1. For safe use
SRS warning light
Driver airbag
Airbag manual on-off switch
The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The SRS air-
bag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. As the airbags
deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-
toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occupants.
■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may be sustained from SRS airbags, due to the extremely high speed
deployment (inflation) by hot gases.
●A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.
●Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats, parts of the
front and rear pillars, and roof side rails, may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●The hybrid system will be stopped and fuel supply to the engine will be stopped. ( P.82)
●The brakes and stop lights will be con- trolled automatically. ( P.277)
●The interior lights will turn on automat- ically. ( P.296)
●The emergency flashers will turn on automatically. ( P.366)
●Vehicles with eCall: If any of the fol-
lowing situations occur, the system is
designed to send an emergency call* to the eCall control center, notifying them of the vehicle’s location (without
needing to push the “SOS” button) and an agent will attempt to speak with the occupants to ascertain the
level of emergency and assistance required. If the occupants are unable to communicate, the agent automati-
cally treats the call as an emergency and helps to dispatch the necessary
emergency services. ( P.66)
• An SRS airbag is deployed. • A seat belt pretensioner is activated.• The vehicle is involved in a severe
rear-end collision.*: In some cases, the call cannot be
made. ( P. 6 7 )
■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of
force corresponding to an approxi- mately 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that
does not move or deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be
considerably higher in the following situ-
ations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole,
which can move or deform on impact • If the vehicle is involved in an under-ride collision, such as a collision in
which the front of the vehicle “under- rides”, or goes under, the bed of a truck
●Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt
pretensioners will activate.
■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield air-bags and SRS front seat center air-
bags)
●The SRS side and curtain shield air-
bags and SRS front seat center air- bags will deploy in the event of an

WARNING
■If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as the ABS and SRS warning light not come on when you start the hybrid
system, this could mean that these systems are not available to help pro-tect you in an accident, which could
result in death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by any autho-rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately if this occurs.

electronic key and the vehicle may be affected, preventing the smart entry & start system, wireless remote control
and immobilizer system from operating properly. (Ways of coping: P.407)
●When the electronic key battery is depleted
●Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large dis-play, airport or other facility that gen-
erates strong radio waves or electrical noise
●When carrying a portable radio, cellu-lar phone, cordless phone or other wireless communication device
●When the electronic key is in contact with, or is covered by the following
metallic objects • Cards to which aluminum foil is attached
• Cigarette boxes that have aluminum foil inside• Metallic wallets or bags
• Coins • Hand warmers made of metal
• Media such as CDs and DVDs
●When other wireless keys (that emit radio waves) are being used nearby
●When carrying the electronic key together with the following devices
that emit radio waves • Another vehicle’s electronic key or a wireless key that emits radio waves
• Personal computers or personal digi- tal assistants (PDAs)• Digital audio players
• Portable game systems
●I f w i n d o w t i n t w i t h a m e t a l l i c c o n t e n t o r
metallic objects are attached to the rear window
●When the electronic key is placed near a battery charger or electronic devices

emitted
If the doors cannot be locked/unlocked using the smart entry & start system,
lock/unlock the doors by performing any of the following:
●Bring the electronic key close to either front door handle and operate the entry function.
●Operate the wireless remote control.
If the doors cannot be locked/unlocked
using the above methods, use the mechanical key. ( P.408)
If the hybrid system cannot be started
using the smart entry & start system, refer to P.408.
■Note for the entry function
●Even when the electronic key is within the effective range (detection areas), the system may not operate properly
in the following cases: • The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door handle, near
the ground, or in a high place when the doors are locked or unlocked.• The electronic key is on the instru-
ment panel, luggage cover or floor, or in the door pockets or glove box when the hybrid system is started or power
