The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The SRS air-

deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with
non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occupants.

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 prop-
erly.
The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts.
⚫The SRS driver airbag deploys with co nsiderable force, and can cause death
or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag.
Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 50 - 75 mm (2 - 3 in.) of
inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10 in .) 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 breastbo ne. If you sit less than 250 mm (10 in.)
away now, you can change your driving position in several ways:
⦁ Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the pedals
comfortably.
⦁ Slightly recline the back of the seat . Although vehicle designs vary, many
drivers can achieve the 250 mm (10 in.) distance, even with the driver seat
all the way forward, simply by reclin ing the back of the seat somewhat. If
reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to see the road, raise yourself
by using a firm, non-slippery cushion, or raise the seat if your vehicle has
that feature.
⦁ If your steering wheel is adjustable, ti lt it downward. This points the airbag
toward your chest instead of your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as recommended above, while still maintaining
control of the foot pedals, steering wh eel, and your view of the instrument
panel controls.
⚫The SRS front passenger airbag also de ploys 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 as far from the air-
bag as possible with the seatback ad justed, so the front passenger sits
upright.
⚫A deploying airbag can cause even the de ath or serious injury of an infant or
child who is improperly seated and/or restrained. An infant or child who is
too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child
restraint system. Toyota strongly re commends that all infants and children
be placed in the rear seats of the ve hicle and properly restrained. The rear
seats are safer for infants and child ren than the front passenger seat.

shield airbags: Do not attach any-
thing to areas such as a door, wind-
shield glass, side door glass, front
or rear pillar, roof side rail and
assist grip
⚫Vehicles with SRS side and curtain shield airbags: Do not use seat accesso-

interfere with inflation of the SRS airbags. Such accessories may prevent the
side airbags from activating correctly, disable the system or cause the side
airbags to inflate accidentally, re sulting in death or serious injury
⚫Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS airbag
components.
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.
⚫Do not touch any of the component pa rts 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 window to allow fresh air in, or le ave the vehicle if it is safe to do so.
Wash off any residue as soon as po ssible to prevent skin irritation.
⚫Vehicles without SRS side and curtain shield airbags: If the areas where the
SRS airbags are stored, such as th e steering wheel pad, are damaged or
cracked, have them replaced by your Toyota dealer.
⚫Vehicles with SRS side and curtain shie ld airbags: If the areas where the SRS
airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel pad and front and rear pillar
garnishes, are damaged or cracked, have them replaced by your Toyota
dealer.
⬛If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
⚫High-temperature gas will inflate the SRS airbags at an extremely high
speed, possibly leading to injuries, incl uding scrapes, burns, and contusions.

Exhaust gas precautions
Exhaust gases contain a substance harmful to the human body if
inhaled.
WARNING
Exhaust gases contain harmful carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and
odorless. Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases to enter the vehicle and may lead to an
accident caused by light-headedness, or may cause death or a serious health
hazard.
⬛Important points while driving
Keep the back door closed.
If you smell exhaust gas in the vehicle even when the back door is closed, open
the windows to allow fresh air in and have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota
dealer immediately.
⬛When parking the vehicle
⚫If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated ar ea or a closed area, such as a garage,
stop the engine.
⚫Do not leave the vehicle with the engine running for a long time.
If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space and
ensure that exhaust gases do not enter the vehicle interior.
⚫Do not leave the engine running in an area with snow build-up, or where it is
snowing. If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the engine is run-
ning, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle.
⬛Exhaust pipes
The exhaust pipes need to be checked periodically. If there is a hole or crack
caused by corrosion, damage to a joint, or abnormal exhaust noise, be sure to
have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer.

1-2. Safety information for children
When children are in the vehicle
Observe the following precautions when children are in the vehicle.
⚫Children should always use a seat belt. When a child who cannot prop-
erly wear the seat belt is in the ve hicle, use a proper child restraint sys-
tem. ( ➞P. 49)
⚫It is recommended that children sit in the rear seats to avoid accidental
contact with the device that operates the vehicle.
⚫Use the child-protector lock (➞ P. 135) and window lock switch
( ➞ P. 160) to prevent children from opening doors or accidentally oper-
ating power windows while the vehicle is in motion.
⚫Do not let small children operate equipment which may catch or pinch
body parts, such as power wind ows, hood, doors, seats, etc.
WARNING
⚫Never leave children unattended in the ve hicle. High temperatures inside the
vehicle can cause heatstroke and dehydr ation, which can cause death or a seri-
ous health hazard.
Also, children may operate devices inside the vehicle and get caught in the
door window or move a device that oper ates the vehicle, leading to an unfore-
seen accident.
⚫When children are in the vehicle, please refer to P. 49, which provides precau-
tions for ensuring your child’s safety, dire ctions on installing child restraint sys-
tems, and other related information.

Child restraint systems
Before installing a child restraint system in the vehicle, there are pre-
cautions that need to be observed, different types of child restraint
systems, as well as installation methods, etc., written in this manual.
⚫Use a child restraint system when ri ding with a small child that cannot
properly use a seat belt. For the child’s safety, install the child restraint
system to a rear seat.
Be sure to follow the installation method that is in the operation man-
ual enclosed with the restraint system.
⚫The use of a Toyota genuine child restraint system is recommended,
as it is safer to use in this vehicle.
Toyota genuine child restraint syst ems are made specifically for Toy-
ota vehicles. They can be purchased at a Toyota dealer.
Points to remember
⚫Prioritize and observe the warnings, as well as the laws and regulations
for child restraint systems.
⚫Use a child restraint system until the child becomes large enough to
properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
⚫Choose a child restraint system appropriate to the age and size of the
child.
⚫Note that not all child restraint systems can fit in all vehicles. Before
using or purchasing a child restraint system, check the compatibility of
the child restraint system with seat positions. (➞P. 55)
