Your vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing and diagnostic module, which will record the use of the seat belt restraint system by the driver when the SRS side airbags inflated.
CAUTION
SRS side airbags inflate with consid- erable force. To avoid potential death or serious injury when they inflate, the driver and front passenger must: (cid:1) Wear their seat belts. (cid:1) Remain properly seated with their back upright and against the seat at all times.
SRS side airbags
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys- tem) side airbags are designed to pro- vide further protection for the driver and front passenger in addition to the primary safety protection provided by the seat belts. In response to a severe side impact, the SRS side airbags work together with the seat belts to help reduce injury by inflat- ing. The SRS side airbags help to reduce injuries mainly to the driver’s or front pas- senger’s chest. The SRS side airbag on the passenger seat is activated even with no passenger in the front seat. Be sure to wear your seat belt.

’01 Corolla U (L/O 0005)
CAUTION
(cid:1) The SRS side airbag system is de- signed only as a supplement to the primary protection of the driver side and front passenger side seat belt systems. To ensure maximum protection in an accident, the driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts. Wearing a seat belt during an accident re- duces the chances of death or seri- ous injury or being thrown out of instructions and the vehicle. For precautions concerning the seat belt system, see “Seat belts” in this section.
In a severe side impact, the side airbag sensor triggers the side airbag inflators. Then a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non–toxic gas to help restrain the lateral motion of the occupants. 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 gas is nor- mally harmless; however, for those who have delicate skin, it may cause a minor skin irritation. Be sure to wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent any potential skin irritation. 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. Front seats may be hot for several min- utes, but the airbags themselves will not be hot. The airbags are designed to inflate only once.

Child restraint— —Child restraint precautions Toyota strongly urges the use of child restraint systems for children small enough to use them. The laws of all fifty 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” for details.
CAUTION
(cid:1) For effective protection in automo- bile accidents and sudden stops, children must be properly re- strained 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 sub- stitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle’s inte- rior.

This child restraint is designed for use
only by children who weigh between 10
and 30 kg (22.1 and 66.1 pounds), and
whose height is between 85 and 127 cm
(33.5 and 50.0 inches).
The child should be at least one year
old and must be capable of sitting up-
right alone and whose shoulder height
is at or below the maximum shoulder
height indicator.
It
important to use a rear–facing
child restraint until the child is about
a year old. A rear–facing restraint gives
the child’s head, neck and body the
support they would need in a crash.
See “—Child restraint system” for more
information.
If your child’s shoulders are above the
indicator position, do not use the built–
in child restraint. Your child should use
the vehicle’s seat belts.
According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seat than in the front seat.
CAUTION
Make sure the child is securely re- strained with the built–in child re- straint. WARNING! Failure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the use of this child restraint system can result in your child striking the ve- hicle’s interior during a sudden stop or crash. Snugly adjust the belts pro- vided with this child restraint around your child. When using straint, observe the following: (cid:1) Use the belts for only one child at a time.

(cid:1) Keep the belts clean and dry.
If they need cleaning, use a mild soap solution or lukewarm water. Never use bleach, dye, or abrasive clean- ers—they may severely weaken the belts.
(cid:1) Replace the built–in child restraint assembly if it has been used in a severe impact. The entire assembly should be replaced even if damage is not obvious.
(cid:1) Do not use a separate child re- the opened

9. Fasten the shoulder belt clip. The purpose of the clip is to keep the shoulder belts positioned correctly on the shoulders.
CAUTION
An unfastened shoulder belt clip will not help keep the belts on the child’s shoulders. In a sudden stop or crash, the child may go too far forward and be seriously injured. Make sure the belt clip is fastened at all times.

The anchorages are installed in the clear- ance between the seat cushion and seat- back of both outside rear seats. On ve- hicles with a built–in child restraint the anchorages are installed in system, the left rear seat only. Child restraint system interfaced with the FMVSS225 specification can be fixed with these anchorages. In this case, it is not necessary to fix the child restraint system with a seat belt on the vehicle.

Fuel gauge
Engine coolant temperature gauge
the
The gauge works when ignition switch is on and indicates the approxi- mate quantity of fuel remaining in the tank. Nearly full—Needle at “F” Nearly empty—Needle at “E” It is a good idea to keep the tank over 1/4 full. This fuel gauge has a non–return type needle which remains at the last indicated position when the ignition switch is turned off. If the fuel level approaches “E” or the low fuel level warning light comes on, fill the fuel tank as soon as possible. On inclines or curves, due to the move- ment of fuel in the tank, the fuel gauge needle may fluctuate or the low fuel level warning light may come on earlier than usual. If the fuel tank is completely empty, the malfunction indicator lamp comes on. Fill the fuel tank immediately. The indicator lamp goes off after driving several times. If the indicator lamp does not go off, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

(cid:2) Do not continue driving with an overheated engine. See “If your ve- hicle overheats” in Section 4.
Tachometer
The tachometer indicates engine speed in thousands of rpm (revolutions per minute). Use it while driving to select correct shift points and to prevent en- gine lugging and over–revving. Driving with the engine running too fast causes excessive engine wear and poor fuel economy. Remember, in most cases the slower the engine speed, the greater the fuel economy.
NOTICE
Do not let the indicator needle get into the red zone. This may cause severe engine damage.
2001MY_COROLLA_U (OM12720U)

The gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature when the ignition switch is on. The engine operating temperature will vary with changes in weather and engine load. If the needle moves into the red zone, your engine is too hot. If your vehicle overheats, stop your vehicle and allow the engine to cool. Your vehicle may overheat during severe operating conditions, such as: (cid:1) Driving up a long hill on a hot day. (cid:1) Reducing speed or stopping after high
speed driving.
(cid:1) Idling for a long period with the air conditioning on in stop–and–go traffic.
(cid:1) Towing a trailer.
NOTICE
(cid:2) Do not remove the thermostat in the engine cooling system as this may cause the engine to overheat. The thermostat is designed to con- trol the flow of coolant to keep the temperature of the engine within the specified operating range.
