The image recording function can be
disabled. However, if the function is dis-
abled, data from when the system oper-
ates will not be available.
The SRS airbag and seat belt pre-
tensioner devices in your Toyota
contain explosive chemicals. If the
vehicle is scrapped with the airbags
and seat belt pretensioners left as
they are, this may cause an acci-
dent such as fire. Be sure to have
the systems of the SRS airbag and
seat belt pretensioner removed and
disposed of by a qualified service
shop or any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer,
before you scrap your vehicle.

WARNING
■General precautions while driv- ing
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influence of alcohol or drugs that have
impaired your ability to operate your vehicle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment
and reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in death or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other drivers or pedestrians might
make and be ready to avoid acci- dents.
Driver distraction: Always give your
full attention to driving. Anything that distracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or
reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you, your occupants or others.
■General precaution regarding children’s safety
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehi- cle or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is also a danger that children
may injure themselves by playing with the side windows, the panoramic moon roof, or other features of the
vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator lights
The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The SRS air-
bag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. 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
deployment (inflation) by hot gases.
●A loud noise and white powder will be
emitted.
●Parts of the airbag module (steering
wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats, parts of the front and rear pillars, and roof side
rails, may be hot for several minutes. The 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.99)
●All of the doors will be unlocked. ( P.236)
●Vehicles with Secondary Collision Brake: The brakes and stop lights will be controlled automatically. ( P.416)
●The interior lights will turn on automat- ically. ( P.443)
●The emergency flashers will turn on automatically. ( P.526)
●Vehicles with eCall: If any of the fol- lowing situations occur, the system is
designed to send an emergency call to the eCall control 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 assistance required. If the occupants are unable to communicate, the agent automati-
cally treats the call as an emergency and helps to dispatch the necessary
emergency services. ( P.66)
• An SRS airbag is deployed. • A seat belt pretensioner is activated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe rear-end collision.
■SRS airbag deployment conditions
(SRS front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy in
the event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approxi-
mately 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be
considerably higher in the following situ-
ations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which can move or deform on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an under- ride collision, such as a collision in which the front of the vehicle “under-
rides”, or goes under, the bed of a truck
●Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt preten-sioners will activate.
■SRS airbag deployment conditions
(SRS side and curtain shield air- bags)
●The SRS side and curtain shield air-bags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold
level (the level of force corresponding to the impact force produced by an approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehi-
cle colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orientation at an approximate
speed of 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph]).
●Both SRS curtain shield airbags may

■When to contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota autho- rized repairer, or any reliable repairer
In the following cases, the vehicle will require inspection and/or repair. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possible.
●Any of the SRS airbags have been inflated.
●The front of the vehicle is damaged or deformed, or was involved in an acci-dent that was not severe enough to
cause the SRS front airbags to inflate.
●A portion of a door or its surrounding
area is damaged, deformed or has had a hole made in it, or the vehicle was involved in an accident that was
not severe enough to cause the SRS side and curtain shield airbags to inflate.
●The pad section of the steering wheel,
dashboard near the front passenger
airbag or lower portion of the instru- ment panel is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged.
●The surface of the seats with the SRS side airbag is scratched, cracked, or
otherwise damaged.
●The portion of the front pillars, rear pil-
lars or roof side rail garnishes (pad- ding) containing the SRS curtain shield airbags inside is scratched,
cracked, or otherwise damaged.

WARNING
●Do not allow a child to stand in front of the SRS front passenger airbag
unit or sit on the knees of a front passenger.
●Do not allow the front seat occu-pants to hold items on their knees.
●Do not lean against the door, the roof side rail or the front, side and rear pillars.
●Do not allow anyone to kneel on the passenger seat toward the door or
put their head or hands 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.These items can become projec-
tiles when the SRS driver, front passenger and knee airbags deploy.
●Do not attach anything to areas such as a door, windshield, side
window, front or rear pillar, roof side rail and assist grip. (Except for the speed limit label P.551)
●Do not hang coat hangers or other hard objects on the coat hooks. All
of these items could become pro- jectiles and may cause death or serious injury, should the SRS cur-
tain shield airbags deploy.
●If a vinyl cover is put on the area
where the SRS knee airbag will deploy, be sure to remove it.

461-1. For safe use
WARNING
●Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side
airbags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the SRS airbags. Such accessories may prevent the
SRS side airbags from activating correctly, disable the system or cause the SRS side airbags to
inflate accidentally, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS airbag components or the
front doors. Doing so can cause the SRS air-bags to malfunction.
●Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS air-
bags 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 leave the vehicle if it is safe to do so. Wash off any resi-due as soon as possible to prevent
skin irritation.
●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 any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
■Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or per-
form any of the following modifica- tions without consulting any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. The SRS airbags may mal-function or deploy (inflate) acciden-
tally, causing death or serious injury.
●Installation, removal, disassembly and repair of the SRS airbags
●Repairs, modifications, removal or replacement of the steering wheel,
instrument panel, dashboard, seats or seat upholstery, front, side and rear pillars, roof side rails, front
door panels, front door trims or front door speakers
