WARNING
■Front passenger occupant
classification system precau-
tions
Observe the following precautions
regarding the front passenger
occupant classification system.
Failure to do so may cause the
occupant classifi cation system to
not function correctly, resulting in
death or serious injury.
●Wear the seat belt properly.
●Do not apply excessive force to
the seat.
●Do not put sharp object(s) on
the seat or pierce the seat
upholstery.
●Do not put objects under the
front passenger seat.
●Do not use a seat accessory,
such as a cushion or seat cover,
that covers the seat cushion
surface.
●Do not spill liqui d on the front
passenger seat. If liquid is
spilled, wipe it off immediately
and dry the seat. If the SRS
warning light illumi nates, dry the
seat until the warning light turns
off. If the SRS warning light
stays on even when the seat
has dried, do not allow anyone
to sit on the front passenger
seat and have the system
checked by your Toyota dealer.
If the SRS warning light does
not illuminate, check that the
airbag ON/OFF indicator light
works properly. If the indicator
light does not work properly, do
not allow anyone to sit in the
front passenger’s seat and have
the system inspected by your
Toyota dealer.
●Do not remove or disassemble
the front passenger seat. Also,
do not replace or modify the
seat upholstery or foam inside
the seat.
●Do not install any accessory
(such as an audio amplifier)
other than a genuine Toyota
accessory under t he front pas-
senger’s seat.
●Do not place a magnetized
items near the seat belt buckle.
●Never install a rearward facing
child seat in the front passen-
ger’s seat even if the front pas-
senger’s SRS frontal airbag is
deactivated. Be sure to install it
in the rear seat in a correct
manner. Also, it is strongly rec-
ommended that any forward
facing child seat or booster seat
be installed in the rear seat, and
that even children who have
outgrown a child restraint sys-
tem 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 passen-
ger’s SRS frontal airbag deploy.
Toyota believes that the rear
seats are the safest place for
children.
●If luggage or electronic devices
are placed on the front passen-
ger seat, the OFF indicator may
turn off and the ON indicator
may illuminate. If this occurs,
the front passenger’s airbag
may deploy during a collision. If
this is not desirable, remove the
luggage or electronic devices
from the front passenger seat.
