■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
the SRS side air bag and SRS cur-
tain shield airbag did not deploy.
●The fabric or leather of either front
seatback is cut, frayed, or other-
wise damaged.
●The rear part of the vehicle was
involved in an accident in which
no SRS airbag was deployed.
■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.

For safety and security
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.

■If the passenger’s frontal airbag
OFF indicator illuminates and
the ON indicator turns off even
when the front passenger’s seat
is occupied by an adult
This can be caused by the adult
incorrectly sitting in the front pas-
senger’s seat.
1 Turn the engine switch off.
2 Ask the front passenger to set
the seatback to the upright posi-
tion, sit up straight in the center
of the seat cushion, correctly fas-
ten the seatbelt, position his/her
legs out forward, and adjust the
seat to the rearmost position.
3 Turn the engine switch to ON.
If the OFF indicator remains illumi-
nated while the ON indicator
remains off, take the following
actions.
1 Turn the engine switch off.
2 Make sure that the front passen-
ger does not use a blanket, extra
seat cushion, sea t cover, extra
seat heater or massager, etc.
3 If wearing excessive layers of
clothing, the front passenger
should remove any unnecessary
items before sitting in the front
passenger’s seat, or should sit in
a rear seat.
4 Turn the engine switch to ON
and wait 6 seconds to allow the
system to complete self-check-
ing. Following the system check,
both indicators turn off for 2 sec-
onds. Now, the ON indicator
should illuminate while the OFF
indicator remains off.
If the OFF indicator still remains illu-
minated while the ON indicator
remains off, ask the occupant to
move to the rear seat and immedi-
ately contact your Toyota dealer for
an inspection.■If the seatbelt buckle switch
and/or front passenger’s occu-
pant detection system have
failed
If the seatbelt buckle switch and/or
front passenger’s occupant detec-
tion system have failed, the SRS
warning light will illuminate. Have
the system inspected by your Toyota
dealer immediately if the SRS warn-
ing light illuminates.
■When to contact your Toyota
dealer
If your vehicle has sustained impact,
this may affect the proper function of
the Toyota advanced frontal airbag
system. Have your vehicle
inspected at your Toyota dealer. Do
not use the front passenger’s seat
while driving the vehicle to your Toy-
ota dealer.
WARNING
■When using a child restraint
system
NEVER INSTALL A CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM IN THE
FRONT PASSENGER’S SEAT
EVEN IF THE FRONT PASSEN-
GER’S SRS FRONTAL AIRBAG
IS DEACTIVATED. Be sure to
install it in the REAR seat in a cor-
rect manner. Also, it is strongly
recommended that any forward
facing child seat or booster seat
be installed in the REAR seat, and
that even children who have out-
grown a child restraint system be
also seated in the REAR seat.
This is because children sitting in
the front passenger’s seat may be
killed or severely injured should
the front passenger’s SRS frontal
airbag deploy. REAR seats are
the safest place for children.

For safety and security
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
541-1. For safe use
In an accident where the vehicle
is struck from the side more
than once, the SRS side airbag
and SRS curtain shield airbag
deploy only once on the first
impact.
Example: In the case of a dou-
ble side impact collision, first
with one vehicle and immedi-
ately followed by another from
the same direction, once the
SRS side airbag and SRS cur-
tain shield airbag are activated
on the first impact, they will not
be activated on the second.SRS curtain shield airbag
