CAUTION


■While driving


●Do not adjust the position of the driver’s seat while driving.


Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.


●Do not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seatback. A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint, increasing the risk of death or serious injury to the driver or passenger.


●Do not place anything under the front seats except for putting them in the


auxiliary box. Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the seat tracks and stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an acci- dent. The adjustment mechanism may also be damaged.


■Adjusting the seat position


●Do not recline the seat more than necessary when the vehicle is in motion,


to reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt. If the seat is too reclined during an accident, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply restraint forces directly to the abdomen or your neck may contact the shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury.


●Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passen-


gers are not injured by the moving seat.


●Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid


injury. Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.

1-7. Safety information SRS airbags


The SRS airbags inflate when the vehicle is subjected to certain types of severe impacts that may cause significant injury to the occupants. They work together with the seat belts to help reduce the risk of death or serious injury.


SRS front airbags SRS driver airbag/front passenger airbag Can help protect the head and chest of the driver and front pas- senger from impact with interior components. SRS knee airbags Can help provide driver and front passenger protection. SRS side and curtain shield airbags SRS side airbags Can help protect the torso of the front seat occupants. SRS curtain shield airbags ● Can help protect primarily the head of occupants in the outer


seats.


● Can prevent the occupants from being thrown from the vehi-


cle in the event of vehicle rollover.

113


1-7. Safety information


Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed based on the US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The airbag sensor assembly (ECU) controls airbag deployment based on infor- mation obtained from the sensors etc. shown in the system compo- nents diagram above. This information includes crash severity and occupant information. 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.


■SRS warning light


This warning light system monitors the airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sensors, side and curtain shield airbag sensor assemblies, curtain shield air- bag sensor assemblies, driver’s seat position sensor, driver’s seat belt buckle switch, front passenger occupant classification system (ECU and sensors), AIR BAG ON and AIR BAG OFF indicator lights, front passenger’s seat belt buckle switch, front seat belt pretensioner assemblies, airbags, interconnecting wiring and power sources. (P. 470)


■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)


●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may be sustained from SRS air- bags, 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, and parts of the front and rear pillars and roof side rail, may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.


●The front windshield may crack.


114

1-7. Safety information


■Operating conditions (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 12-18 mph [20-30 km/h] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or deform). However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher if the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which can move or deform on impact, or if the vehicle is involved in an underride collision (e.g. a collision in which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under the bed of a truck, etc.).


●Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt


pretensioners will activate.


●The SRS front airbags for the front passenger will not activate if there is no passenger sitting in the front passenger seat. However, the SRS front airbags for the front passenger may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, even if the seat is unoccupied. (P. 124)


■Operating conditions (side airbags & curtain shield airbags)


The SRS side airbags & SRS curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corre- sponding to the impact force produced by an approximately 3300 lb. [1500
kg] vehicle colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orientation at an approximate speed of 12-18 mph [20-30 km/h]).


■Operating conditions (curtain shield airbags)


The SRS curtain shield airbags are designed to inflate when the passenger compartment is subjected to a severe impact from the side or vehicle roll- over. Depending on the conditions and type of accident, there are times when the curtain shield airbags may deploy (inflate) in a front impact.


115


1-7. Safety information


■Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other


than a collision The SRS front airbags may also deploy if a serious impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some examples are shown in the illustration.


●Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or


hard surface


●Falling into or jumping over a deep hole ●Landing hard or vehicle falling


The SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy under the situation shown in the illustration.


●The angle of vehicle tip-up is marginal. ●The vehicle skids and hits a curb stone.


■Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbag (front airbags) The SRS front airbags are generally not designed to inflate if the vehicle is involved in a side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low- speed frontal collision. But, whenever a collision of any type causes suffi- cient forward deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front air- bags may occur.


●Collision from the side ●Collision from the rear ●Vehicle rollover


116


1-7. Safety information


■Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbag


(side airbags and curtain shield airbags) The SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag system may not activate if the vehicle is subjected to a collision from the side at certain angles, or a colli- sion to the side of the vehicle body other than the passenger compartment.


●Collision from the side to the vehicle body other than the passenger com- partment


●Collision from the side at an angle

■SRS airbag precautions


Observe the following precautions regarding the airbags. Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury. ●The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts


properly. The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts. ●The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) advises: Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75 mm) of inflation, placing yourself 10 in. (250 mm) from your driver airbag pro- vides you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured from the center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you now sit less than 10
in. (250 mm) away, 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 10 in. (250 mm) distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward, sim- ply by reclining 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, tilt it downward. This points the air-


bag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.


The seat should be adjusted as recommended by NHTSA above, while still maintaining control of the foot pedals and steering wheel, and your view of the instrument panel controls.

1-7. Safety information


CAUTION


■SRS airbag precautions


●If the seat belt extender has been con- nected to the front seat belt buckles but the seat belt extender has not also been fastened to the latch plate of the seat belt, the SRS front airbags will judge that the driver and front passen- ger are wearing the seat belt even though the seat belt has not been con- nected. In this case, the SRS front air- bags may not activate correctly in a collision, resulting in death or serious injury in the event of a collision. Be sure to wear the seat belt with the seat belt extender.


●The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys 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 adjusted, so the front passenger sits upright.


●Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or seriously injured by a deploying airbag. An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint sys- tem. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats are the safest for infants and children. (P. 129)

CAUTION


■SRS airbag precautions


●Do not sit on the edge of the seat or


lean against the dashboard.


●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 drive the vehicle while the driver or passenger has items resting on their knees.


●Do not lean against the door, the roof side rail or the front, side and rear pil- lars.


●Do not allow anyone to kneel on the passenger seat toward the door or put their head or hands outside the vehicle.


121


1-7. Safety information


CAUTION


■SRS airbag precautions


●Do not attach anything to or lean any- thing against areas such as the dash- board, steering wheel pad or lower portion of the instrument panel. These items can become projectiles when SRS driver, front passenger and knee airbags deploy.


●Do not attach anything to areas such as the door, windshield glass, side door glass, front and rear pillars, roof side rail or assist grip.


●Do not hang coat hangers or other hard objects on the coat hooks. All of these items could become projectiles and seriously injure or kill you, should the SRS curtain shield airbag deploy.


●Do not attach any heavy, sharp or hard objects such as keys or accessories to the key. The objects may restrict the SRS knee airbag inflation or be thrust into the driver’s seat area by the force of the deploying airbag, thus causing a danger.


●If the vinyl cover is put on the area where the SRS knee airbags will


deploy, be sure to remove it.


●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.


●Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS air-


bag components (P. 113). Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.


●Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS air-


bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.


122


1-7. Safety information


CAUTION


■SRS airbag precautions


●If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbag has 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 residue 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 your Toyota dealer.


■Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components


Do not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modifications without consulting your Toyota dealer. The SRS airbags may malfunction or deploy (inflate) accidentally, 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 or roof side rails.


●Repairs or modifications of the front fender, front bumper, or side of the


occupant compartment.


●Installation of a grille guard (bull bars, kangaroo bar, etc.), snow plows,


winches or roof luggage carrier.


●Modifications to the vehicle’s suspension system. ●Installation of electronic devices such as mobile two-way radios or CD


players.


●Modifications to your vehicle for a person with a physical disability.

CAUTION


■Front passenger occupant classification system precautions


Observe the following precautions regarding front passenger occupant clas- sification system. Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury. ●Wear the seat belt properly. ●Make sure the front passenger’s seat belt tab has not been left inserted


into the buckle before someone sits in the front passenger seat.


●Make sure the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is not illuminated when using the seat belt extender for the front passenger seat. If the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is illuminated, disconnect the extender tongue from the seat belt buckle, then reconnect the seat belt. Reconnect the seat belt extender after making sure the AIR BAG ON indicator light is illuminated. If you use the seat belt extender while the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is illuminated, the SRS airbags for the passenger may not activate correctly, which could cause death or serious injury in the event of collision.


●Do not apply a heavy load to the front passenger seat or equipment (e.g.


seatback pocket).


●Do not put weight on the front passenger seat by putting your hands or


feet on the front passenger seat seatback from the rear passenger seat.


●Do not let a rear passenger lift the front passenger seat with their feet or


press on the seatback with their legs.


●Do not put objects under the front passenger seat.


127


1-7. Safety information


CAUTION


■Front passenger occupant classification system precautions


●Do not recline the front passenger seatback so far that it touches a rear seat. This may cause the AIR BAG OFF indicator light to be illuminated, which indicates that the passenger’s airbags will not deploy in the event of a severe accident. If the seatback touches the rear seat, return the seat- back to a position where it does not touch the rear seat. Keep the front passenger seatback as upright as possible when the vehicle is moving. Reclining the seatback excessively may lessen the effectiveness of the seat belt system.


●If an adult sits in the front passenger seat, the AIR BAG ON indicator light is illuminated. If the AIR BAG OFF indicator is illuminated, ask the passen- ger to sit up straight, well back in the seat, feet on the floor, and with the seat belt worn correctly. If the AIR BAG OFF indicator still remains illumi- nated, either ask the passenger to move to the rear seat, or if that is not possible, move the front passenger seat fully rearward.


●When it is unavoidable to install the forward-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat, install the child restraint system on the front passenger seat in the proper order. (P. 133)


●Do not modify or remove the front seats. ●Do not kick the front passenger seat or subject it to severe impact. Other- wise, the SRS warning light may come on to indicate a malfunction of the detection system. In this case, contact your Toyota dealer immediately.


●Child restraint systems installed on the rear seat should not contact the


front seatbacks.


●Do not use a seat accessory, such as a cushion or seat cover, that covers


the seat cushion surface.


●Do not modify or replace the upholstery of the front seat.


128


1-7. Safety information Child restraint systems


A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be prop- erly restrained on the seat with the lap portion of the lap/shoulder belt. The laws of all 50 states of the U.S.A. and Canada now require the use of child restraint systems.


Points to remember


Studies have shown that installing a child restraint on a rear seat is much safer than installing one to the front passenger seat. ● Choose a child restraint system that suits your vehicle and is


appropriate to the age and size of the child.


● For installation details, follow the instructions provided with the


child restraint system. General installation instructions are provided in this manual. (P. 133)


Types of child restraint


Child restraint systems are classified into the following 3 types according to the age and size of the child.


Rear facing — Infant seat/convertible seat


129


1-7. Safety information


Forward facing — Convertible seat


Booster seat


■Selecting an appropriate child restraint system


●Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child


becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belts.


●If a child is too large for a child restraint system, sit the child on a rear


seat and use the vehicle’s seat belt. (P. 69)


130

1-7. Safety information


CAUTION


■Child restraint precautions


●For effective protection in automobile 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 accident, the child can be crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle’s interior. ●Toyota strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that con- forms to the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to acci- dent statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.


●Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger


seat even if the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is illuminated. In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front pas- senger airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child if the rear-fac- ing child restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat.


●A forward-facing child restraint system may be installed on the front pas- senger seat only when it is unavoidable. A child restraint system that requires a top tether strap should not be used in the front passenger seat since there is no top tether strap anchor for the front passenger seat. Adjust the seatback as upright as possible and always move the seat as far back as possible even if the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is illuminated, because the front passenger airbag could inflate with considerable speed and force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously injured.


●Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system on the front or rear passenger seat. If installing a child restraint system with the seat belt extender connected to the seat belt, the seat belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause death or seri- ous injury to the child or other passengers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.


●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 and rear pillars 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. It is dangerous if the side air- bags and curtain shield airbags inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.


131


1-7. Safety information


CAUTION


■Child restraint precautions


●Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by the child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If it is not secured properly, it may cause death or serious injury to the child in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.


■When children are in the vehicle


Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes twisted around a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries that could result in death. If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used to cut the belt.


■When the child restraint system is not in use


●Keep the child restraint system properly secured on the seat even if it is not in use. Do not store the restraint unsecured in the passenger compart- ment.


●If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from the vehicle or store it securely in the luggage compartment. This will prevent it from injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.
