For safety and security
Adjust the angle of the seat-
back so that you are sitting 
straight up and so that you do 
not have to lean forward to 
steer. ( P.192)
Adjust the seat so that you 
can depress the pedals fully 
and so that your arms bend 
slightly at the elbow when 
gripping the steering wheel. 
( P.192)
Lock the head restraint in 
place with the center of the 
head restraint closest to the 
top of your ears. ( P.196)
Wear the seat belt correctly. 
( P.30)
WARNING
■Before driving
●Check that the floor mat is 
securely fixed in the correct 
place with all the provided 
retaining hooks (clips). Be espe-
cially careful to perform this 
check after cleaning the floor.
●With the EV system stopped 
and the shift posit ion in P, fully 
depress each pedal to the floor 
to make sure it does not inter-
fere with the floor mat.

Front passenger occupant classification sensors
SRS warning light
Airbag sensor assembly
Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed 
based on the US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The 
airbag sensor assembly (ECU) cont rols airbag deployment based on 
information obtained from the sensors etc. shown in the system 
components diagram above. This in formation includes crash sever-
ity and occupant information. As the airbags deploy, a chemical  
reaction in the inflators quickly  fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to 
help restrain the motion of the occupants.
■If the SRS airbags deploy 
(inflate)
●Slight abrasions,  burns, bruising 
etc., may be sustained from SRS 
airbags, due to the extremely high 
speed deployment (inflation) by 
hot gases.
●A loud noise and white powder will 
be emitted.
●Parts of the airbag module (steer-
ing wheel hub, airbag cover and 
inflator) as well as the front seats, 
parts of the front  and rear pillars, 
and roof side rails, may be hot for 
several minutes. T he airbag itself 
may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●The EV system will be stopped. 
(  P. 8 0 )
●All of the doors will be unlocked. 
( P.168)
●The brakes and st op lights will be 
controlled automatically. ( P.388)
●The interior lights will turn on auto-
matically. ( P.416)
●The emergency flashers will turn 
on automatically. ( P.504)
●For Safety Connect subscribers, if 
any of the following situations 
occur, the system is designed to 
send an emergency call to the 
response center, notifying them of  the vehicle’s location (without 
needing to push the “SOS” button) 
and an agent will attempt to speak 
with the occupants to ascertain 
the level of emergency and assis-
tance required. If the occupants 
are unable to communicate, the 
agent automatically treats the call 
as an emergency and helps to dis-
patch the necessary emergency 
services. (
P. 6 4 )
• An SRS airbag is deployed.
• A seat belt pretensioner is acti- vated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe  rear-end collision.
■SRS airbag deployment condi-
tions (SRS front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy 
in the event of an impact that 
exceeds the set  threshold level 
(the level of forc e corresponding 
to an approximately 12 - 18 mph 
[20 - 30 km/h] frontal collision with 
a fixed wall that does not move or 
deform).
However, this threshold velocity will 
be considerably higher in the follow-
ing situations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object,  such as a parked vehicle or sign 
pole, which can move or deform 
on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an  underride collision, such as a colli-

For safety and security
●The pad section of the steering 
wheel, dashboard near the front 
passenger airbag o r lower portion 
of the instrument panel is 
scratched, cracked, or otherwise 
damaged.
●The surface of the seats with the 
SRS side airbag is scratched, 
cracked, or otherwise damaged.
●The portion of the front pillars, rear 
pillars or roof side rail garnishes 
(padding) containing the SRS cur-
tain shield airbags inside, is 
scratched, cracked, or otherwise 
damaged.
WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions 
regarding the SRS airbags.
Failure to do so may cause death 
or serious injury.
●The driver and all passengers in 
the vehicle must wear their seat 
belts properly.
The SRS airbags are supple-
mental devices to be used with 
the seat belts.
●The SRS driver airbag deploys 
with considerable force, and 
can cause death or serious 
injury especially if the driver is 
very close to the airbag. The 
National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration (NHTSA) 
advises:
Since the risk zone for the driver’s 
airbag is the first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75 
mm) of inflation, placing yourself 
10 in. (250 mm) from your driver 
airbag provides you with a clear 
margin of safety. This distance is 
measured from the center of the 
steering wheel to your breast-
bone. If you sit less than 10 in. 
(250 mm) away now, you can 
change your driving position in 
several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as  far as you can while still reach-
ing the pedals comfortably.

WARNING
●Do not sit on the edge of the 
seat or lean against the dash-
board.
●Do not allow a child to stand in 
front of the SRS front passenger 
airbag unit or sit on the knees of 
a front passenger.
●Do not allow the front seat occu-
pants to hold items on their 
knees.
●Do not lean against the door, 
the roof side rail or the front, 
side and rear pillars.
●Do not allow anyone to kneel on 
the passenger seat toward the 
door or put their head or hands 
outside the vehicle.
●Do not attach anything to or 
lean anything against areas 
such as the dashboard, steering 
wheel pad and lower portion of 
the instrument panel.
These items can become pro-
jectiles when th e SRS driver, 
front passenger and knee air-
bags deploy.
●Do not attach anything to areas 
such as a door, windshield, side 
window, front or rear pillar, roof 
side rail and assist grip. 

421-1. For safe use
Owners Manual_USA_M42C01_en
WARNING
●Do not hang coat hangers or 
other hard objects on the coat 
hooks. All of these items could 
become projectiles and may 
cause death or serious injury, 
should the SRS curtain shield 
airbags deploy.
●If a vinyl cover is put on the area 
where the SRS knee airbag will 
deploy, be sure to remove it.
●Do not use seat accessories 
which cover the parts where the 
SRS side airbags inflate as they 
may interfere with inflation of 
the SRS airbags. Such acces-
sories may prevent the SRS 
side airbags from activating cor-
rectly, disable the system or 
cause the SRS side airbags to 
inflate accidentally, resulting in 
death or serious injury.
●Do not strike or apply significant 
levels of force to the area of the 
SRS airbag components or the 
front doors.
Doing so can cause the SRS 
airbags to malfunction.
●Do not touch any  of the compo-
nent parts immediately after the 
SRS airbags have deployed 
(inflated) as they may be hot.
●If breathing becomes difficult 
after the SRS airbags have 
deployed, open a door or win-
dow to allow fresh air in, or 
leave the vehicle if it is safe to 
do so. Wash off any residue as 
soon as possible to prevent skin 
irritation.
●If the areas where the SRS air-
bags are stored, such as the 
steering wheel pad and front 
and rear pillar ga rnishes, are 
damaged or cracked, have 
them replaced by your Toyota 
dealer.
●Do not place anything, such as 
a cushion, on the front passen-
ger’s seat. Doing so will 
disperse the passenger’s 
weight, which prevents the sen-
sor from detecting the passen-
ger’s weight properly. As a 
result, the SRS front airbags for 
the front passenger may not 
deploy in the event of a colli-
sion.
■Modification and disposal of 
SRS airbag system compo-
nents
Do not dispose of your vehicle or 
perform any of the following modi-
fications without consulting your 
Toyota dealer. The SRS airbags 
may malfunction or deploy 
(inflate) accidentally, causing 
death or serious injury.
●Installation, re moval, disassem-
bly and repair of the SRS air-
bags
●Repairs, modific ations, removal 
or replacement of the steering 
wheel, instrument panel, dash-
board, seats or seat upholstery, 
front, side and rear pillars, roof 
side rails, front door panels, 
front door trims or front door 
speakers
●Modifications to the front door 
panel (such as making a hole in 
it)
●Repairs or modifications of the 
front fender, front bumper, or 
side of the occupant compart-
ment
●Installation of a grille guard (bull 
bars, kangaroo bar, etc.), snow 
plows, winches or roof luggage 
carrier
●Modifications to the vehicle’s 
suspension system
