Move the height adjuster up and
down as needed until you hear a
click.
When the vehicle is subjected to
a severe frontal or side impact
or rollover, the pretensioners
retract the seat belts of the front
seats and rear outer seats to
securely restrain the occupants.
The pretensioners will not operate
in minor frontal or side impacts, or
rear impacts.
■Replacing the belt after the pre-
tensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is in volved in multiple
collisions, the pretensioner will acti-
vate for the first collision, but will not
activate for the second or subse- quent collisions.
■PCS-linked control
If the PCS (Pre-Collision System)
determines that the possibility of a
collision with a vehi cle is high, the
seat belt pretensioners will be pre-
pared to operate.
WARNING
■Adjustable shoulder anchor
Always make sure the shoulder
belt is positioned across the cen-
ter of your shoulder. The belt
should be kept away from your
neck, but not falling off your shoul-
der. Failure to do so could reduce
the amount of protection in an
accident and cause death or seri-
ous injuries in the event of a sud-
den stop, sudden swerve or
accident.
Seat belt pretensioners
(front and outboard rear
seats)
WARNING
■Seat belt pretensioners
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of injury in the
event of sudden braking or an
accident. Failure to do so may
result in death or serious injury.
●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 seat belt pretensioner
for the front passenger’s seat
may not operate in the event of
a collision.
●If a pretensioner has operated,
the SRS warning light will illumi-
nate. In this situation, the seat
belt cannot be used and must
be replaced by your Toyota
dealer.

Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed
SRS airbags
The SRS airbags deploy when the vehicle is subjected to cer-
tain types of severe impact that may cause significant injury
to the occupants. The airbags work together with the seat
belts to help reduce the risk of death or serious injury.
SRS airbag system
301-1. For safe use
based on US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The air-
bag sensor assembly (ECU) controls 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 of 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 parts
around the airbags may be hot for
several minutes. T he airbag itself
may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●The hybrid system will be stopped
and fuel supply to the engine will
be stopped. ( P. 7 4 )
●All of the doors will be unlocked.
( P.116)
●The brakes and st op lights will be
controlled automatically. ( P.285)
●The interior lights will turn on auto-
matically. ( P.309)
●The emergency flashers will turn
on automatically. ( P.394)
●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. (

• When an SRS airbag has been deployed
• When a seat belt pretensioner has
operated
• When the vehicle has been involved in a severe rear-end colli-
sion
■The SRS airbags deploy in a
frontal impact when
●The following SRS airbags will
deploy in the event of an impact
that exceeds a th reshold level
(level of force corresponding to an
approximately 12 - 18 mph [20 -
30 km/h] frontal collision with a
fixed wall that does not move or
deform):
• SRS front airbags
• SRS knee airbag
●The threshold level at which the
SRS airbags will deploy will be
higher than normal in the in the
following situations:
• When the vehicle collides with an
object, such as a parked vehicle
or sign pole, which moves or
deforms on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an underride collision, such as a colli-
sion in which the front of the vehi-
cle “underrides”, or goes under,
the bed of a truck
●Depending on the type of collision,
only the following may deploy:
• Seat belt pretensioners
●The SRS airbags for the front pas-
senger’s seat will not deploy if
there is no passe nger in the front

passenger seat. However, the
SRS airbags for the front passen-
ger’s seat may deploy, even if the
seat is unoccupied, if luggage is
put on the seat.
●In the event of an especially
severe frontal collision, the left
and right SRS curtain shield air-
bags may also deploy.
■The SRS airbags deploy in a
side impact when
●The following SRS airbags will
deploy in the event of an impact
that exceeds the set threshold
level (level of force corresponding
to the impact force produced by
an approximately 3300 lb. [1500
kg] vehicle collid ing with the pas-
senger compartment at a perpen-
dicular angle at an approximate
speed of 12 - 18 mph [20 - 30
km/h]):
• SRS side airbags
• SRS curtain shield airbags
●If the vehicle is involved in a roll-
over, the following SRS airbags
will deploy:
• Both left and right SRS curtain
shield airbags
■The SRS airbags deploy in an
underside impact when
●The following airbags may deploy
if the underside of the vehicle col-
lides with a hard object:
• SRS front airbags
• SRS knee airbag
• SRS side airbags
• SRS curtain shield airbags
●The following airbags may deploy
if the vehicle becomes signifi-
cantly tilted or is strongly impacted
by skidding into a curb, etc.: • SRS curtain shield airbags
■The SRS side airbags will not
deploy when
●The following SRS airbags will not
normally deploy in side or rear col-
lisions, vehicle rollovers, or low
speed frontal collisions. However,
if such a collision causes sufficient
sudden deceleration, the SRS air-
bags may deploy.
• SRS front airbags
• SRS knee airbag
●The following SRS airbags may
not deploy if the vehicle is collided
with at a certain angle or in a side
collision where an area of the
vehicle other than the passenger
compartment is collided with:
• SRS side airbags
• SRS curtain shield airbags
●The following SRS airbags will not
normally deploy in front or rear
collisions, vehicle rollovers, or low
speed side collisions:
• SRS side airbags

WARNING
●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 y ou with a clear
margin of safety. This distance is
measured from the center of the
steering wheel to your breast-
bone. If your current driving posi-
tion places you less than 10 in.
(250 mm) away from the driver
airbag, you can change your driv-
ing position in several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as possible while still being
able to reach the pedals com-
fortably.
• Slightly recline the seatback. Although vehicle designs vary,
many drivers can achieve the
10 in. (251 mm) distance, even
with the driver seat all the way
forward, simply by reclining the
seatback somewhat. If reclining
the seatback makes it hard to
see the road, raise yourself by
using a firm, non-slippery cush-
ion, or raise the seat if your
vehicle has that feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjust- able, tilt it downward. This
points the airbag toward your
chest instead of your head and
neck. The seat should be
adjusted as recommended by
the NHTSA, while still being
able to control the vehicle with
the pedals and steering wheel,
and maintaining your view of the
instrument panel controls.
●If a seat belt extender has been
connected to a front seat belt
buckle but the latch plate of the
seat belt has not been fastened
to the seat belt extender, the
SRS airbag system will judge
that the occupant is wearing the
seat belt even though the seat
belt has not been fastened. In
this case, the SRS front airbags
may not deploy c orrectly in a
collision, resulting in death or
serious injury. Be sure to wear
the seat belt correctly when
using a seat belt extender.
●The SRS front passenger air-
bag deploys with considerable
force, and can cause death or
serious injury, especially if the
front passenger is very close to
the airbag. The front passenger
seat should be positioned as far
possible from the airbag with
the seatback adjusted so that
the passenger is sat upright.
341-1. For safe use
WARNING
●Improperly seated and/or
restrained infants and children
can be killed or seriously injured
by a deploying airbag. An infant
or child who is too small to use
a seat belt should be properly
secured using a child restraint
system. Toyota strongly recom-
mends that all infants and chil-
dren be placed in the rear seats
of the vehicle and properly
restrained. The rear seats are
safer for infants and children
than the front passenger seat.
(
P. 4 3 )
●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 or sit on the lap of a front
passenger.
●Front seat occupants should
never hold items on their lap.
●Do not lean against the door,
roof side rail, or front, side, or
rear pillar.
●Do not allow anyone to kneel on
a seat toward the door or put
their head or han ds 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.

For safety and security
WARNING
●Do not attach anything to areas
such as the doors, windshield,
side windows, front or rear pil-
lars, roof side rails and assist
grips. (With the exception of the
speed limit label
P.419)
●Do not hang coat hangers or
other hard objects on the coat
hooks. These items could
become project iles if the SRS
curtain shield airbags deploy,
possibly leading to death or
serious injury.
●If a vinyl cover is attached to the
area where the SRS knee air-
bag deploys, be sure to remove
it.
●Do not use seat accessories
which cover the parts from
which the SRS airbags deploy,
as they may interfere with infla-
tion of the SRS airbags. Such
accessories may prevent the
SRS airbags from deploying
correctly, may disable the sys-
tem or cause the SRS airbags
to inflate unintentionally, possi-
bly resulting in death or serious
injury.
●Do not strike or apply significant
force to the SRS airbag system
components, front doors or their
surrounding area.
Doing so may cause the SRS
airbags to malfunction.
●Do not touch any components
of the SRS airbags 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 a part where an SRS airbag is
stored is damaged or cracked,
have it 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’s seat 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 unin-
tentionally, possi bly leading to
death or serious injury.
