■SRS Airbag System Servicing
In the following cases, contact your 
Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
●The front part of  the vehicle was 
involved in an accident in which 
only the driver’s SRS frontal air-
bag or both driver’s and front pas-
senger’s SRS frontal airbags did 
not deploy.
●The pad of the steering wheel, the 
cover over the front passenger’s 
SRS frontal airbag, or either roof 
side (from the front pillar to a point 
over the rear seat) is scratched, 
cracked, or otherwise damaged.
●The center pillar, door, rear wheel 
house or rear sub frame, or an 
area near these parts, was 
involved in an accident in which

■When you sell your vehicle
When you sell your vehicle, we urge 
you to inform the buyer that the  vehicle is equipped with SRS air-
bags. Also, notify the buyer of the 
applicable section in this Owner’s 
Manual.
WARNING
■General Precautions regard-
ing SRS Airbag System
●To obtain maximum protection 
in the event of an accident, the 
driver and all passengers must 
always wear seatbelts when in 
the vehicle. The SRS airbag is 
designed only to be a supple-
ment to the primary protection 
provided by the seatbelt. It does 
not eliminate the need to fasten 
seatbelts. In combination with 
the seatbelts, it offers the best 
protection in case of a serious 
accident.
Not wearing a seat belt increases 
the chance of severe injury or 
death in a crash even when the 
vehicle has the SRS airbag.
For instructions and precautions 
concerning the seatbelt system, 
refer to P.25. 

381-1. For safe use
WARNING
• Installation of additional electri-cal/electronic equipment such 
as a mobile two-way radio on or 
near the SRS airbag system 
components and/or wiring is not 
advisable. This could interfere 
with proper operation of the 
SRS airbag system.
• Modifications on or inside the  door panels for the purpose of a 
speaker replacement or sound 
insulation
●The impact sensors, which 
detect the pressure of an 
impact, are located in the doors. 
Do not modify any components 
of the doors or d oor trims, such 
as the addition of door speakers 
for example. Any modifications 
to the doors will create a risk of 
the airbag system becoming 
inoperative or unintended air-
bag deployment.
●Do not perform any of the fol-
lowing modifications. Such 
modifications can interfere with 
proper operation of the SRS air-
bag system.
• Attachment of any equipment  (bush bar, winches, snow plow, 
skid plate, etc.) other than genu-
ine Toyota accessory parts to 
the front end.
• Modification of the suspension  system or front end structure.
• Installation of a tire of different  size and construc tion from the 
tires specified on the vehicle 
placard attached to the driver’s 
center pillar or specified for indi-
vidual vehicle models in this 
Owner’s Manual.
• Attachment of any equipment  (side steps or side sill protec-
tors, etc.) other than genuine 
Toyota accessory parts to the 
side body.
Always consult your Toyota dealer 
if you want to install any acces-
sory parts on your vehicle.

For safety and security
This vehicle is equipped with a 
Toyota advanced frontal airbag 
system that complies with the 
advanced frontal airbag require-
ments in the amended Federal 
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 
(FMVSS) No. 208.
The Toyota advanced frontal air-
bag system automatically deter-
mines the deployment force of 
the driver’s SRS frontal airbag at 
the time of deployment as well 
as whether or not to activate the 
front passenger’s SRS frontal 
airbag and, if activated, the 
deployment force of the SRS 
frontal airbag at the time of 
deployment.
Always wear your seatbelt. The 
Toyota advanced frontal airbag 
system is a supplemental 
restraint system and must be 
used in combination with a seat-
belt. All occupants should wear 
a seatbelt or be seated in an appropriate child restraint sys-
tem.
For the locations of the SRS air-
bags, refer to P.29.
In a moderate to severe frontal 
collision, the following compo-
nents deploy.
SRS frontal airbag for driver
 SRS frontal airbag for front 
passenger
 SRS curtain shield airbag
*
SRS knee airbag for driver
*: When an offset frontal collision 
that is severe enough to deploy 
the front airbag occurs.
These components supplement 
the seatbelts by reducing the 
impact to the occupant’s head, 
chest and knees.
■Driver’s SRS frontal airbag
The driver’s SRS frontal airbag 
uses a dual stage inflator. The 
inflator operates in different 
ways depending on the severity 
of impact.
■Front passenger’s SRS 
frontal airbag
The front passenger’s SRS fron-
tal airbag uses a dual stage 
inflator. The inflator operates in 
different ways depending on the 
severity of impact.
■Occupant detection system
The occupant detection system 
sensors are installed between 
the seat and seat rails, and 
NOTICE
• Between the rear seat cushion  and rear wheel house on each 
side
●In the event that the SRS airbag 
is deployed, replacement of the 
system should be performed 
only by an auth orized Toyota 
dealer. When the components 
of the SRS airbag system are 
replaced, use only genuine Toy-
ota parts.

monitor the physique and pos-
ture of the front passenger. 
Using this information, the occu-
pant detection system deter-
mines whether the front 
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag 
should be deployed or not.Occupant detection sensors
The occupant detection system 
may not inflate the front passen-
ger’s SRS frontal airbag even 
when the driver’s SRS frontal 
airbag deploys. This is normal. 
In this case, although the front 
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag 
does not operate, the front pas-
senger’s seatbelt pretensioner 
operates with the driver’s seat-
belt pretensioner. For details 
about the seatbelt pretensioner, 
refer to P.27.

Passenger’s sideSRS AIRBAG deploy as soon 
as a collision occurs.
After deployment, SRS AIR-
BAG start to deflate immedi-
ately so that the driver’s 
vision is not obstructed.
The SRS airbags can function 
only when the engine switch is 
in ON.
The Toyota advanced frontal air-
bag system is designed to deter-
mine the activation or 
deactivation condition of the 
front passenger’s SRS frontal 
airbag depending on the charac-
teristic of item(s) or person on 
the front passenger’s seat moni-
tored by the front passenger’s 
occupant detection system sen-
sor. For this reason, only the 
driver’s SRS frontal airbag may 
deploy in the event of a collision, 
but this does not mean failure of 
the system.
If the following sensors detect a  predetermined amount of force 
during a frontal collision, the 
control module sends signals to 
the airbag module(s) (only 
driver’s module or both driver’s 
and front passenger’s modules) 
instructing the module(s) to 
inflate the SRS frontal airbag(s).
The front impact sensors
 The impact sensors in the air-
bag control module
On the driver’s side, the SRS 
knee airbag also inflates with 
the SRS frontal airbag.
The driver’s and front passen-
ger’s SRS frontal airbags use 
dual stage inflators. The two 
inflators of each airbag are trig-
gered either sequentially or 
simultaneously, depending on 
the severity of impact, in the 
case of the driver’s SRS frontal 
airbag and depending on the 
severity of impact and the char-
acteristic of item(s) or person on 
the seat in the case of the front 
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag.
■After deployment
After deployment, the SRS air-
bag immediately starts to deflate 
so that the driver’s vision is not 
obstructed and the driver’s abil-
ity to maintain control of the 
vehicle is not impaired. The time 
required from detecting impact 
to the deflation of the SRS air-
bag after deployment is shorter 
than the blink of an eye.

on each side of the cabin is 
stored in the roof side (between 
the front pillar and a point over 
the rear seat). An “SRS AIR-
BAG” mark is located at the top 
of each center pillar.
In a moderate to severe side 
i m p a c t  c o l l i s i o n ,  t h e  S R S  c u r t a i n  
shield airbag on the impacted 
side of the vehicle deploys 
between the occupant and the 
side window and supplements 
the seatbelt by reducing the 
impact on the occupant’s head.
In a rollover, SRS curtain shield 
airbags on both sides of the 
vehicle deploy between the 
occupant and the side window 
and supplement the seatbelt by 
reducing the impact to the occu-
pant’s head.
In an offset frontal collision, SRS 
curtain shield airbags on both 
sides of the vehicle deploy 
between the occupant and the 
side window and supplement 
the seatbelt by reducing the 
impact to the occupant’s head 
and chest.
■Operation
The SRS side airbag and SRS 
curtain shield airbag can func-
tion only when the engine switch 
is in ON.
The following airbags deploy 
independently of each other 
since each has its own impact 
sensor. 
Driver’s SRS side airbag
 Front passenger’s SRS side 
airbag
 SRS curtain shield airbag 
(right-hand side)
 SRS curtain shield airbag 
(left-hand side)
Therefore, they may not both 
deploy in the same accident. 
Also, the SRS side airbag and 
SRS curtain shield airbag 
deploys independently of the 
driver’s and front passenger’s 
SRS frontal airbags in the steer-
ing wheel and instrument panel.
For the locations of the sensors 
and control modules, refer to 
P. 2 9 .
■After deployment
After the deployment, the SRS 
side airbag immediately starts to 
deflate. The time required from 
detection of an impact to defla-
tion of an SRS side airbag after 
deployment is shorter than the 
blink of an eye.
The SRS curtain shield airbag 
remains inflated for a while fol-
lowing deployment then slowly 
deflates.
The SRS side airbag and SRS 
curtain shield airbag deploy 
even when no one occupies the 
seat on the side on which an 
impact is applied.
When the SRS side airbag and 
SRS curtain shield airbag
