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

Exhaust gas precau-
tions
Harmful substance to the
human body is included in
exhaust gases if inhaled.
WARNING
Exhaust gases include harmful
carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colorless and odorless. Observe
the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause
exhaust gases enter the vehicle
and may lead to an accident
caused by light-headedness, or
may lead to death or a serious
health hazard.
■Important points while driving
●Keep the trunk lid closed.
●If you smell exhaust gases in
the vehicle even when the trunk
lid is closed, open the windows
and have the vehicle inspected
at your Toyota dealer as soon
as possible.
■When parking
●If the vehicle is in a poorly venti-
lated area or a closed area,
such as a garage, stop the
engine.
●Do not leave the vehicle with
the engine on for a long time.
If such a situation cannot be
avoided, park the vehicle in an
open space and ensure that
exhaust fumes do not enter the
vehicle interior.
●Do not leave the engine running
in an area with snow build-up,
or where it is snowing. If snow-
banks build up around the vehi-
cle while the engine is running,
exhaust gases may collect and
enter the vehicle.
■Exhaust pipe
The exhaust system needs to be
checked periodically. If there is a
hole or crack caused by corro-
sion, damage to a joint or abnor-
mal exhaust noise, be sure to
have the vehicle inspected and
repaired by your Toyota dealer.

Riding with children
Observe the following pre-
cautions when children are
in the vehicle.
Use a child restraint system
appropriate for the child,
until the child becomes
large enough to properly
wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
It is recommended that chil-
dren sit in the rear seats to
avoid accidental contact
with the shift lever, wiper
switch, etc.
Use the window lock switch
to avoid children operating
the power window acciden-
tally. ( P.130)
Do not let small children
operate equipment which
may catch or pinch body
parts, such as the power
window, hood, trunk, seats
etc.
WARNING
■When children are in the vehi-
cle
Never leave children unattended
in the vehicle, and never allow
children to have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the
vehicle or shift the vehicle into
neutral. There is also a danger
that children ma y injure them-
selves by playing with the win-
dows or other features of the
vehicle. In addition, heat build-up
or extremely cold temperatures
inside the vehicle can be fatal to
children.

■Note for the entry function
●Even when the electronic key is
within the effective range (detec-
tion areas), the system may not
operate properly in the following
cases:
• The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door han-
dle, near the ground, or in a high
