WARNING
■Front passenger occupant classification system precautions
● Do not recline the front passenger seatback so far that it touches a rear
seat. This may cause the “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light to be ill uminated,
which indicates that the SRS airbags for the front passenger wi ll not acti-
vate in the event of a severe accident. If the seatback touches the rear
seat, return the seatback to a position where it does not touch the rear
seat. Keep the front passenger seatback as upright as possible when the
vehicle is moving. Reclining the seatback excessively may lesse n the
effectiveness of the seat belt system.
● If an adult sits in the front passenger seat, the “AIRBAG ON” indicator light
is illuminated. If the “AIRBAG OFF” indicator is illuminated, ask the pas-
senger to sit up straight, well back in the seat, feet on the floor, and with
the seat belt worn correctly. If the “AIRBAG OFF” indicator sti ll remains
illuminated, either ask the passenger to move to the rear seat, or if that is
not possible, move the front passenger seat fully rearward.
● When it is unavoidable to install a forward-facing child restraint system on
the front passenger seat, install the child restraint system on the front pas-
senger seat in the proper order. ( P. 60)
● Do not modify or remove the front seats.
● Do not kick the front passenger seat or subject it to severe im pact. Other-
wise, the SRS warning light may come on to indicate a malfunction of the
front passenger occupant classification system. In this case, contact your
Toyota dealer immediately.
● Child restraint systems installed on the rear seat should not contact the
front seatbacks.
● Do not use a seat accessory, such as a cushion and seat cover, that cov-
ers the seat cushion surface.
● Do not modify or replace the upholstery of the front seat.
● Do not place anything between the console box and front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the system may not detect the front passenger proper ly, lead-
ing to improper operation of the airbags.
● Adjust the front passenger seat so that the head restraint does not touch
the ceiling. If the head restraint is left in contact with the ceiling, the system
may not detect the front passenger properly, leading to imprope r operation
of the airbags.
