1-7. Safety information

■ When to contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another

duly qualified and equipped professional

In the following cases, the vehicle will require inspection and/or repair. Con-

tact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and

equipped professional, as soon as possible.

●Any of the SRS airbags have been inflated.

● The front of the vehicle is damaged or

deformed, or was involved in an acci-

dent that was not severe enough to

cause the SRS front airbags to inflate.

● A portion of the doors is damaged or

deformed, or the vehicle was involved

in an accident that was not severe

enough to cause the SRS side airbags

and curtain shield airbags (if equipped)

to inflate.

● The pad section of the steering wheel,

dashboard near the front passenger air-

bag or lower portion of the instrument

panel is scratched, cracked, or other-

wise damaged.

● The surface of the seats with the SRS

side airbag is scratched, cracked or

otherwise damaged.

153

VERSO_EE_OM64517E

1-7. Safety information

● Vehicles with SRS curtain shield air-

bags: The portion of the front, center

and rear pillar garnish, or roof side rail

garnishes containing the curtain shield

airbags inside is scratched, cracked or

otherwise damaged.

WARNING

■ SRS airbag precautions

Observe the following precautions regarding the SRS 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.

Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 50 - 75 mm (2 - 3 in.)

of inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10 in.) 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 sit less than

250 mm (10 in.) away now, 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 250 mm

(10 in.) distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward, simply

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 above, while still maintaining

control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instrument

panel controls.

1-7. Safety information

WARNING

■ SRS airbag precautions

●The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and

can cause death or serious injury especially if the front passenger is very

1

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

safest for infants and children than the front passenger seat. (P. 159)

● 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 have items resting on

their knees.

● Vehicles without SRS curtain shield air-

bags: Do not lean against the front

door.

● Vehicles with SRS curtain shield air-

bags: Do not lean against the door, the

roof side rail or the front, center and

rear pillars.

155

1-7. Safety information

WARNING

■ SRS airbag precautions

● Do not allow anyone to kneel on the

passenger seats toward the door or put

their head or hands outside the vehicle.

● 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.

● Vehicles without SRS curtain shield air-

bags: Do not attach anything to areas

such as a door, windshield glass and

side door glass.

● Vehicles with SRS curtain shield air-

bags: Do not attach anything to areas

such as the door, windshield glass, side

door glass, front, center and rear pil-

lars, roof side rail or assist grip. (Except

for the speed limit label P. 587)

● Vehicles without smart entry & start

system: Do not attach any heavy, sharp

or hard objects such as keys or acces-

sories 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.

156

VERSO_EE_OM64517E

1-7. Safety information

WARNING

■ SRS airbag precautions

● Vehicles with SRS curtain shield airbags: Do not hang coat hangers or

other hard objects on the coat hooks. All of these items could become pro-

1

jectiles and may cause death or serious injury, should the SRS curtain

shield airbag deploy.

● If the vinyl cover is put on the area where the SRS knee airbag 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 airbags. Such

accessories may prevent the side airbags from activating correctly, disable

the system or cause the side airbags to inflate accidentally, resulting in

death or serious injury.

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

bag components. (P. 149)

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.

● If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbags have 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.

● Vehicles without SRS curtain shield airbags: If the areas where the SRS

airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel pad, are damaged or

cracked, have them replaced by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,

or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

● Vehicles with SRS curtain shield airbags: 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 any

authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and

equipped professional.

Child restraint systems

Toyota strongly urges the use of child restraint systems.

Points to remember

1

Studies have shown that installing a child restraint system on a rear

seat is much safer than installing one on 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. 167)

● If child restraint system regulations exist in the country where you

reside, please contact your Toyota dealer or repairer, or another

duly qualified and equipped professional for the child restraint sys-

tem installation.

● Toyota recommends that you use a child restraint system which

conforms to the regulation “ECE No.44”.

category approved for the use in this mass group.

X: ISOFIX position not suitable for ISOFIX child restraint systems

in the mass group and/or size class.

The child restraint systems mentioned in the table may not be avail-

able outside of the EU area.

NOTE:

Other child restraint system which is different from the system men-

tioned in the table can be used, but the suitability of the systems must

be carefully checked with the child restraint system manufacturer

concerned and the seller of those seats.

■ When installing the child restraint system on the front passenger seat

adjust the following:

● The seat as far back as possible

● The seatback to the most upright posi-

tion

● The seat cushion to the highest position

(if equipped)

● The seat belt height to the lowest posi-

tion

■ 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 belt.

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

seat and use the vehicle’s seat belt. (P. 96)

164

VERSO_EE_OM64517E

1-7. Safety information

WARNING

■ Using a child restraint system

The use of a child restraint system not suitable for the vehicle may not prop-

erly secure the infant or child. It may result in death or serious injury (in the

1

event of sudden braking or an accident).

■ 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 when the airbag manual on-off switch is “ON”. (P. 179)

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.

● 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 because the front passenger airbag could inflate with

considerable speed and force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seri-

ously injured.

● Vehicles without SRS curtain shield airbags: 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 from which the SRS side airbags deploy even if the child is seated in

the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the SRS side airbags inflate,

and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.

165

VERSO_EE_OM64517E

1-7. Safety information

WARNING

■ Child restraint precautions

● Vehicles with SRS curtain shield airbags: 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 rails from which the SRS side air-

bags or SRS curtain shield airbags deploy even if the child is seated in the

child restraint system. It is dangerous if the SRS side airbags and SRS

curtain shield airbags inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious

injury to the child.

●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 an 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 child restraint system unsecured in the pas-

senger compartment.

● 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.
