For safety and security
WARNING
●Vehicles without a smart key
system: Do not attach any
heavy, sharp or hard objects to
the key.
●Do not hang coat hangers or
other hard objects on the coat
hooks. These items could
become projectiles 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.

sembly or repair of the SRS air-
bags
