381-1. For safe use
CAMRY_U
Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed based
on  the  US  motor  vehicle  safety  standards  (FMVSS208).  The  airbag
sensor  assembly  (ECU)  controls  airbag  deployment  based  on  infor-
mation  obtained  from  the  sensors  etc.  shown  in  the  system  compo -
nents  diagram  above.  This  informat ion  includes  crash  severity  and
occupant  information.  As  the  airbags  deploy,  a  chemical  reactio n  in
the inflators quickly fills the  airbags with non-toxic gas to h elp restrain
the motion of t he occupants.

Buzzer operation and 
distance to an object
A buzzer sounds when the  sensors are operating.
● The buzzer sounds faster as the  vehicle approaches an object. 
When  the  vehicle  comes  within  the  following  distance  of  the
object, the buzzer sounds continuo usly: Approximately 1.0 ft. (30
cm).
● When 2 or more objects are detec ted simultaneously, the buzzer
system responds to the nearest object. If one or both come with in
the above distances, the beep will  repeat a long tone, followed by
fast beeps.
● Automatic buzzer mute function
After a buzzer begins sounding, if the distance between the veh i-
cle and the detected object does not become shorter, the buzzer
will be muted automatically.
(However, if the distance between the vehicle and object is 1.0  ft.
(30 cm) or less, this function will not operate.)
Approximately 3.3 ft. (100 cm) 
Approximately 4.9 ft. (150 cm)
Approximately 2.0 ft. (60 cm) 
The  diagram  shows  the  detection
range of the sensors. Note that the
sensors  cannot  detect  objects  that
are extremely close to the vehicle.
The  range  of  the  sensors  may
change depending on the shape of
the object, etc.
