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

501-1. For safe use
deploy, a sudden, fairly loud
inflation noise will be heard and
some smoke will be released.
These occurrences are a normal
result of the deployment. This
smoke does not indicate a fire in
the vehicle.
■Example of the type of acci-
dent
The SRS side airbag and SRS
curtain shield airbag are
designed as follows:
 To deploy in the event of an
accident involving a moderate
to severe side impact collision
 To function on a one-time-only
basis.
The SRS side airbag and SRS
curtain shield airbag are not
designed to deploy in the follow-
ing cases:
 In most lesser side impact
 In most frontal or most rear
impacts (because the SRS
side airbag and SRS curtain
shield airbag deployment
would not protect the occu-
pant in those situations)
The SRS curtain shield airbags
are also designed to deploy
when the vehicle is in an
extremely inclined state such as
during a rollover. They are not
designed to deploy in most
lesser inclined states.
SRS side airbag and SRS cur-
tain shield airbag deployment depend on the level of force
experienced in the passenger
compartment during a side
impact collision. That level dif-
fers from one type of collision to
another, and it may have no
bearing on the visible damage
done to the vehicle itself.

Example of the type of acci-
dent in which the SRS side
airbag will most likely deploy.
A severe side impact near the front
seat.
Examples of the types of acci-
dents in which the SRS cur-
tain shield airbag will most
likely deploy.
• The vehicle is involved in a
severe side impact near the front
seat or the rear seat.
• The vehicle rolls o nto its side or
the roof.

For safety and security• The angle of vehicle tip-up is marginal or the skidding vehicle’s
tires hit a curbstone laterally.
• An offset frontal collision that is
severe enough to deploy the front
airbag.
 Examples of the types of acci-
dents in which it is possible
that the SRS side airbag and
the SRS curtain shield airbag
will deploy.
It is possible that the SRS side and
curtain shield air bags will deploy if
a serious impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some
examples are shown
in the illustra-
tion.
• Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard surface
• Falling into or jumping over a
deep hole
• Landing hard or vehicle falling
 Examples of the types of acci-
dents in which the SRS side
airbag is unlikely to deploy.
There are many types of collisions
which might not necessarily require
SRS side airbag deployment. In the

521-1. For safe use
event of accidents like those illus-
trated, the SRS side airbag may not
deploy depending on the level of
accident forces involved.
• The vehicle is involved in an oblique side-on impact.
• The vehicle is involved in a side-on impact in an area outside
the vicinity of the passenger com-
partment.
• The vehicle strikes a telephone pole or similar object.
• The vehicle is involved in a side-on impact from a motorcycle. • The vehicle rolls o
nto its side or
the roof.

dents in which the SRS cur-
tain shield airbag is unlikely to
deploy.
There are many types of collisions
which might not necessarily require
SRS curtain shield airbag deploy-
ment. In the event of accidents like

partment.

• The vehicle is involved in a side-on impact from a motorcycle. Examples of the types of acci-
dents in which the SRS side
airbag and SRS curtain shield
airbag are not designed to

In the event of accidents like those
illustrated, the SRS side airbag and
SRS curtain shield airbag are not
designed to deploy in most cases.
• The vehicle is involved in frontal
collision with another vehicle
(moving or stationary).
• The vehicle is struck from behind.
• The vehicle pitches end over end.

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

seconds when the engine switch
is turned to ON.
The following components are

WARNING
■After deployment
●Do not touch the SRS side air-
bag system components around
the front seat seatback with
bare hands right after deploy-
ment. Doing so can cause burns
because the components can
be very hot as a result of
deployment.
●After deployment
, do not touch
any part of the SRS curtain
shield airbag sys tem (from the
front pillar to the part of the roof
side over the rear seat). Doing
so can cause burns because
the components can be very hot
as a result of deployment.

SRS warning light illuminates.
WARNING
■SRS warning light
If the warning light exhibits any of
the following conditions, immedi-
ately stop the vehicle in a safe
place, and consult a Toyota
dealer. Unless a technician
checks and repairs the system as
needed, the seatbelt pretension-
ers and/or the SRS airbag may
not operate properl y in the event
of a collision, which may result in
injury.
●Flashing or flickering of the
warning light
●No illumination of the warning
light when the engine switch is
first turned to ON
●Continuous illumination of the
warning light
●Illumination of the warning light
while driving

561-1. For safe use
The front passenger’s frontal airbag ON and OFF indicators show
you the status of the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag. When the
engine switch is turned to ON, both the ON and OFF indicators illu-
minate while the system is checked, after which both indicators turn
off.
After that, one of the indicators illuminates depending on the status
of the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag determined by the T oyota
advanced frontal airbag monitoring system.

Your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger occupant
classification system. This system detects the conditions of
the front passenger seat and activates or deactivates the front
