2001 Toyota Sienna Owners Manual

NOTICE

Do not disconnect the battery cables before contacting your Toyota dealer.

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 properly.

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 and front passenger when the SRS side airbags are 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: D Wear their seat belts properly. D Remain properly seated with their back upright and against the seat at all times.

This indicator comes on when the igni- tion key is turned to the “ACC” or “ON” position. It goes off after about 6 seconds. This means the SRS side airbags are operating properly.

Collision from the rear

Collision from the front

Vehicle rollover

The SRS side airbags are not designed to inflate if the vehicle is involved in a front or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low−speed side collision.

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 happen 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.

The SRS side airbag system consists mainly of the following components, and their locations are shown in the illustra- tion. 1. SRS warning light 2. Side airbag modules

(airbag and inflator) 3. Side airbag sensors 4. Airbag sensor assembly The SRS side airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. The airbag sensor assembly consists of a safing sen- sor and airbag sensor.

CAUTION

D 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 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 con- cerning the seat belt system, see “Seat belts” in this section.

D Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or seriously injured by the deploy- ing airbags. An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child Toyota strongly recommends in- fants and children be placed in the rear seat of the vehicle and proper- ly restrained. The rear seat is the safest for infants and children. For instructions concerning the installa- tion of a child restraint system, see “Child restraint” in this section.

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

D For effective protection in automo- bile accidents and sudden stops, 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 put on the rear seat. Accord- ing to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. D Never put a rear−facing child re- straint system on the front seat. In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the airbag can cause death or serious injury if a rear−facing child restraint system is put on the front seat.

D Unless it is unavoidable, do not put the

restraint system on

a child front seat.

D A forward−facing child restraint sys- tem should be allowed to be put on the front seat only when it is un- avoidable. Always move the seat as far back as possible, because the force of the deploying airbag could cause death or serious injury to the child.

D On vehicles with side airbags, do not allow the child to lean against the front door or around the front door even if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is dan- gerous if the side airbag inflates, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.

D Make sure that you have complied with all installation instructions pro- vided restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured.

—Child restraint system A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be properly restrained on the seat with either the lap belt or the lap portion of the lap/ shoulder belt. You must carefully con- sult 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 of the system. General di- rections are also provided under the fol- lowing illustrations. The child restraint system should be installed on the rear seat if your vehicle is equipped with rear seats. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.

CAUTION

D Never put a rear−facing child re- straint system on the front seat. In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the airbag can cause death or serious injury if a rear−facing child restraint system is put on the front seat.

This child restraint is designed for use only by children who weigh between 10
and 18 kg (22.1 and 39.5 lb.) and whose height is between 85 and 101 cm (33.5
and 40.0 in.). 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. See indicator label be- hind child seat pad. 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 adult lap and shoulder belt. 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 straints, observe the following: D Use the belts of one child restraint for only one child at a time. Do not use the belts for two or more chil- dren.
