CAUTION (cid:1) Do not drive the vehicle unless the occupants are properly seated. Do not allow passengers to sit on top of a folded–down seatback, or in the luggage compartment or cargo area. Persons not properly seated and/or properly restrained by seat belts can be severely injured in the event of emergency braking or a collision. (cid:1) During driving, do not allow pas- sengers to stand up or move around between seats. Otherwise, severe the event of emergency braking or a collision. injuries can occur in Front seats— —Front seat precautions Driver seat CAUTION 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 driver airbag is the first 50—75 mm (2—3 in.) of inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10 in.) from your driver airbag provides you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured from the center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than 250 mm in.) away now, you can change your driving position in sever- al ways: (cid:1) Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the pedals comfortably. (10 (cid:1) Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 250 mm (10 in.) 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. (cid:1) 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 rec- ommended by NHTSA above, while still maintaining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instrument panel controls. 30 2003 TUNDRA from Jan. ’03 Prod. (OM34421U) ’03 TUNDRA_U (L/O 0301) Front passenger seats CAUTION The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or serious injury es- pecially if the front passenger is very close to the airbag. The front passen- ger seat should be as far from the airbag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits upright. —Seat adjustment precautions CAUTION (cid:1) Adjustments should not be made while the vehicle is moving, as the seat may unexpectedly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. (cid:1) When adjusting the seat, be careful that the seat does not hit a passen- ger or luggage. (cid:1) After adjusting the seat position, re- lease the lever and try sliding the seat forward and backward to make sure it is locked in position. (cid:1) While adjusting the seat, do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts. Otherwise, your hands or fingers may be caught and injured.

Failure to do so could increase the chance of injury and/or the severity of injury in accidents. The seat belts provided for your vehicle are designed for people of adult size, large enough to properly wear them. Child. Use a child restraint system ap- propriate for the child until the child be- comes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belts. See “Child restraint” for details. STANDARD CAB MODELS— If a child is too large for a child restraint system, the child should sit in the seat and must be restrained using the vehicle’s seat belt. ACCESS CAB MODELS— 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. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. If a child must sit in the front seat, the seat belts should be worn properly. If an accident occurs and the seat belts are not worn properly, the force of the rapid infla- tion of the airbag may cause death or serious injury to the child. Do not allow the child to stand up or kneel on either rear or front seats. An unrestrained child could suffer serious in- jury or death during emergency braking or a collision. Also, do not let the child sit on your lap. It does not provide sufficient restraint. Small–framed person or youth in a 3–point type seat belt. On models with a non–split bench seat, have a small– framed person or youth sit slightly closer to the center of the vehicle (so the shoul- der belt does not cross over the neck). On models with separate seats and a split bench seat, move the seat fully backward. Pregnant woman. Toyota recommends the use of a seat belt.

(OM34421U) ’03 TUNDRA_U (L/O 0301) —Front outside seat belts and rear outside seat belts (cid:1) Inspect the belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose parts. Damaged parts should be re- placed. Do not disassemble or modify the system. (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. (See “Cleaning the interior” in Section 5.) (cid:1) Replace the belt assembly (includ- ing bolts) if it has been used in a severe impact. The entire assembly should be replaced even if damage is not obvious. Injured person. Toyota recommends the use of a seat belt. Depending on the inju- ry, first check with your doctor for specific recommendations. CAUTION the vehicle in their seats Persons should ride their seat belts properly wearing whenever is moving. Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer serious bodily injury or death in the event of sudden braking or a collision. When using the seat belts, observe the following: (cid:1) Use the belt for only one person at a time. Do not use a single belt for two or more people—even children. (cid:1) Avoid reclining the seatbacks too much. The seat belts provide maxi- mum protection when the seatbacks are in the upright position. (Refer to the seat adjustment instructions.) (cid:1) Be careful not to damage the belt webbing or hardware. Take care that they do not get caught or pinched in the seat or side doors. Adjust the seat as needed (front seats only) and sit up straight and well back in the seat. To fasten your belt, pull it out of the retractor and insert the tab into the buckle. You will hear a click when the tab locks into the buckle. The seat belt length automatically adjusts to your size and the seat position. The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It also may lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to extend, and you can move around freely. 39 2003 TUNDRA from Jan. ’03 Prod. (OM34421U) If the seat belt cannot be pulled out of the retractor, firmly pull the belt and release it. You will then be able to smoothly pull the belt out of the retractor. When a passenger’s shoulder belt is com- pletely extended and retracted even slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be extended. This fea- ture is used to hold the child restraint system securely. (For details, see “Child restraint” in this section.) To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once more. then is CAUTION Standard cab models (cid:1) After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle are locked and that the belt is not twisted.

When the airbag sensor detects the shock of a severe frontal impact, the front seat belts are quickly drawn back in by the retractors so that the belts snugly restrain the front seat occupants. The front seat belt pretensioners are acti- vated even with no passenger in the front seat. Collisions occurring at certain speeds and angles may cause the seat belt preten- sioners and SRS airbags not to operate all together. This indicator comes on when the igni- tion key is turned to the “ON” position. It goes off after about 6 seconds. This means the front seat belt pretensioners are operating properly.

(OM34421U) ’03 TUNDRA_U (L/O 0301) SRS driver airbag and front passenger airbag In response to a severe frontal impact, the SRS airbags work together with the seat belts to help reduce injury by inflat- ing. The SRS airbags help to reduce inju- ries mainly to the driver’s or right front passenger’s head or chest caused by di- rectly hitting the steering wheel or dash- board. The front passenger airbag is acti- vated 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 right front pas- senger when the SRS airbags are inflated. The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys- tem) airbags are designed to provide further protection for the driver and right front passenger in addition to the primary safety protection provided by the seat belts.

(OM34421U) ’03 TUNDRA_U (L/O 0301) Collision from the rear Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard material Falling into or jumping over a deep hole Collision from the side Vehicle rollover Landing hard or vehicle falling The SRS airbags are generally not de- signed to inflate if the vehicle is in- volved 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 sufficient forward deceleration of the vehicle, de- ployment of the SRS airbags may oc- cur. The SRS airbags may also deploy if a serious impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some examples are shown in the illustration. this (usually The SRS airbags are designed to deploy in severe frontal) collisions where the magnitude and duration of the forward deceleration of the vehicle exceeds the designed threshold level. The SRS airbags will deploy if the severi- ty of the impact is above the designed threshold level, comparable to an approxi- mate 25 km/h (15 mph) collision when the vehicle has the impact straight into a fixed barrier that does not move or deform. However, 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 in which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a truck, etc.). It in some collisions where the forward deceleration of the ve- hicle is very close to the designed thresh- old level, the SRS airbags and front seat belt pretensioners may not activate togeth- er. Always wear your seat belts properly. (e.g. a collision is possible that 50 2003 TUNDRA from Jan. ’03 Prod. (OM34421U) ’03 TUNDRA_U (L/O 0301) The airbag sensors constantly monitor the forward deceleration of the vehicle. If an impact results in a forward deceleration beyond the designed threshold level, the system triggers the airbag inflators. At this time a chemical reaction in the inflators very quickly fills the airbags with non–tox- ic gas to help restrain the forward motion of the occupants. The airbags then quickly deflate, so that there is no obstruction of the driver’s vision should it be necessary to continue driving. When the airbags inflate, they produce a 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 physically and safely exit the vehicle after a collision, you should do so at the first opportunity. The SRS airbag system mainly consists of the following components, and their loca- tions are shown in the illustration. 1. Front airbag sensors 2. SRS warning light 3. Airbag module for right front passenger (airbag and inflator) 4. Passenger airbag manual on–off switch 5. Airbag sensor assembly 6. Airbag module for driver (airbag and inflator) The airbag sensor assembly consists of a safing sensor and airbag sensor. injuries, especially 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, primarily to the head and chest, it may also cause other, less severe injuries to the face, chest, arms and hands. These are usually in the nature of minor burns or abrasions and swelling, but the force of a deploying airbag can cause more seri- ous if an occupant’s hands, arms, chest or head are in close proximity to the airbag module at the time of deployment. This is why it is important for to: avoid placing any object or part of the body between the occupant and the airbag module; sit straight and well back into the seat; wear the available seat belt properly; and sit as far as possible from the airbag module, while still maintaining control of the ve- hicle. Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) may be hot for several minutes after deployment, so do not inflate only once. The windshield may be damaged by absorbing some of the force of the inflat- ing airbag. touch! The airbags the occupant 51 2003 TUNDRA from Jan. ’03 Prod.

The front seat occupants can be killed or seriously injured by the inflating airbags if they do not wear the available seat belts prop- erly. During sudden braking just be- fore a collision, an unrestrained driver or front passenger can move forward into direct contact with or close proximity to the airbag which may then deploy during the colli- sion.
