ply will be cut off to reduce the risk
of fire caused by leaking fuel. For
details about restarting of the
engine, refer to P.347.
■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.
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.

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
