■Temperature A, B, C
The temperature grades are A
(the highest), B, and C, repre-
senting the tire’s resistance to
the generation of heat and its
ability to dissipate heat when
tested under controlled condi-
tions on a specified indoor labo-
ratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can
cause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce tire life, and
excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger
car tires must meet under the Fed-
eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher
levels of performance on the labo-
ratory test wheel than the minimum
required by law.
Warning: The temperature grades
of a tire assume tha
t it is properly
inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or
excessive loading, either sepa-
rately or in combination, can cause
heat buildup and possible tire fail-
ure.

AVERTISSEMENT
●N’utilisez pas d’accessoires
recouvrant les parties du siège
où les coussins gonflables SRS
latéraux et le coussin gonflable
SRS du coussin de siège se
déploient, car ces accessoires
pourraient entraver le déploie-
ment des coussins SRS. De tels
accessoires peuvent empêcher
les coussins gonflables SRS
latéraux et le coussin gonflable
SRS du coussin de siège de
s’activer correctement, rendre le
système inopérant ou provo-
quer le déploiement accidentel
des coussins gonflables SRS
latéraux et du coussin gonflable
SRS du coussin de siège, occa-
sionnant des blessures graves,
voire mortelles.
●Ne frappez pas et n’appliquez
pas une pression importante à
l’emplacement des portières
avant ou des composants des
coussins gonflables SRS.
Cela peut provoquer un mau-
vais fonctionnement des couss-
ins gonflables SRS.
●Ne touchez à aucun composant
des coussins gonflables SRS
immédiatement après leur
déploiement (gonflage), car ils
pourraient être chauds.
●Si vous avez de la difficulté à
respirer après le déploiement
des coussins gonflables SRS,
ouvrez une portière ou une
glace pour laisser entrer l’air
frais, ou quittez le véhicule si
vous pouvez le faire en toute
sécurité. Dès que possible, net-
toyez tous les résidus afin
d’éviter les irritations cutanées.
●Si les emplacements de stock-
age des coussins gonflables
SRS, tels que le tampon de
volant et les ga rnitures des
montants avant et arrière, sont
endommagés ou fissurés,
faites-les remplacer par votre
concessionnaire Toyota.
●Ne placez aucun objet, par
exemple un coussin, sur le
siège du passager avant. Cela
disperserait le poids du pas-
sager, ce qui empêcherait le
capteur de le dét ecter correcte-
ment. Cela pourrait empêcher le
déploiement des coussins gon-
flables SRS du passager avant
en cas de collision.
■Modification et mise au rebut
des composants du système
de coussins gonflables SRS
Ne mettez pas votre véhicule au
rebut et n’effectuez aucune des
modifications suivantes sans
d’abord consulter votre conces-
sionnaire Toyota. Les coussins
gonflables SRS pourraient
fonctionner de manière incor-
recte ou se déployer (gonfler)
accidentellement, ce qui serait
susceptible d’occasionner des
blessures graves, voire mortelles.
●Installation, retrait, démontage
et réparation des coussins gon-
flables SRS
●Réparations, modifications,
retrait ou remplacement du
volant, du tableau de bord, de la
planche de bord, des sièges ou
du capitonnage des sièges, des
montants avant, latéraux et
arrière, des brancards de pavil-
lon, des panneaux des portières
avant, des garnitures des
portières avant ou des haut-
parleurs des portières avant
●Modifications du panneau de la
portière avant (comme le per-
forer)
