ing. Do not modify, remove, strike or open any components such as the steering wheel pad, steering wheel, column cover, dashboard near front passenger airbag, front passenger airbag or airbag sensor assembly. Doing so may pre- vent the front airbag system from activating correctly, cause sudden activation of the system or disable the system, which could result in death or serious injury. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury. Consult your Toyota dealer about any repair and modification. If you wish to modify your vehicle for a person with physical disability, con- sult your Toyota dealer. It may dan- gerously interfere with the SRS front airbags operation.

D Do not put anything or any part of your body on or in front of the dashboard or steering wheel pad that houses the front airbag sys- tem. They might restrict inflation or cause death or serious injury as they are projected rearward by the force of the deploying airbags. Like- wise, the driver and front passenger should not hold objects their arms or on their knees.

—SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags


CY13073


The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys- tem) side airbags and curtain shield air- bags are designed to provide further protection for the driver, front passen- ger and rear seat passengers∗1/second seat passengers∗2 in addition to the pri- mary safety protection provided by the seat belts. ∗1: Without third seats ∗2: With third seats


In response to a severe side impact, the SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag in the impacted side work with the seat belts to help reduce injury by inflating. The SRS side airbags help reduce injuries mainly to the driver’s or front passenger’s chest. The SRS curtain shield airbags help reduce injuries mainly to the driver’s, front passenger’s or rear/second passen- ger’s head and help prevent them from being thrown out of the vehicle. The SRS side airbag on the passenger seat will not activate if there is no pas- senger sitting in the front passenger seat. However, the side airbag on the passen- ger seat may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, or the seat belt is buckled up regardless of the presence of the occu- pant in the seat. (As for the front passen- ger occupant classification system, see “—Front passenger occupant classification system” on page 91 in this Section.) The SRS curtain shield airbag on the pas- senger side are activated even with no passenger in the front seat or rear/second outside seat.

07 12.25


Roll sensing function: In response to a vehicle rollover, the cur- tain shield airbags on both sides work with the seat belts to help reduce injury by inflating. The curtain shield airbags help reduce injuries mainly to the driver’s, front passenger’s or rear/second passen- ger’s head and help prevent them from being the vehicle. (This function can be turned off if inflation is not desired. See “Roll sensing of curtain shield airbags off switch” on page 95 in this Section.) The SRS curtain shield airbags may acti- vate even when the side airbags are not activated. Always wear your seat belt properly.

To ensure maximum protection in an accident, the driver and all passen- gers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts properly. Wearing a seat belt properly during an accident reduces the chances of death or serious injury or being thrown out of the vehicle. For instructions and precautions concerning the seat belt system, see “Seat belts” on page 64 in this Section.


D Do not allow anyone to lean his/her head or any part of his/her body against the door or the area of the seat, front pillar, rear pillar or roof side rail from which the SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag deploy even is a child seated in the child restraint system.

When the airbags inflate, they produce a fairly loud noise and release some smoke and residue along with non−toxic gas. This does not indicate a fire. This smoke may remain inside the vehicle for some time, and may cause some minor irritation to the eyes, skin or breathing. Be sure to wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent any potential skin irritation with soap and water. If you can safely exit from the vehicle, you should do so imme- diately. Deployment of the airbags happens in a fraction of a second, so the airbags must inflate with considerable force. While the system is designed to reduce serious inju- ries, it may also cause minor burns or abrasions and swelling.

Child restraint— —Child restraint precautions Toyota strongly urges the use of ap- propriate child restraint systems for children. The laws of all 50 states in the U.S.A. and Canada now require the use of a child restraint system. Your vehicle conforms to SAE J1819. If a child is too large for a child restraint system, the child should sit in the rear seat and must be restrained using the vehicle’s seat belt. See “Seat belts” on page 64 in this Section for details.


CAUTION


D For effective protection in automo- bile accidents and sudden stops, a child must be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system depending on the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an acci- dent, the child can be crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle’s interior.


D Toyota strongly urges use of a proper child restraint system which conforms to the size of the child, and is installed on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly re- strained in the rear seat than in the front seat.

D Never install a rear−facing child re- straint system on the front passen- ger seat even if the front passenger occupant indicator light indicates “OFF”. In the event of an accident, the impact of the rapid inflation of the front passen- ger airbag could cause death or se- rious injury to the child if the rear− facing child is installed on front passenger seat.

Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously injured.


D Do not allow the child to lean his/ her head or any part of his/her body against the door or the area of the seat, front or rear pillar or roof side rail from which the side airbags or curtain shield airbags deploy even if the child is seated in the child restraint system.

—Child restraint system A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be properly restrained on the seat with the lap por- tion of the lap/shoulder belt. You must carefully consult the manufacturer’s instructions which accompany the child restraint system. To provide proper restraint, use a child restraint system following the manufactur- er’s instructions about the appropriate age and size of the child for the child restraint system. Install the child restraint system correctly following the instructions provided by its manufacturer. General directions are also provided under the following illustrations. restraint system should be The child installed on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. When not using the child restraint system, keep it secured with the seat belt or place it somewhere other the passenger compartment.
