1-7. Safety information

■ When to contact your Toyota dealer

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

tact your Toyota dealer 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 airbags to inflate.

● A portion of a door 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 to inflate.

● The pad section of the steering wheel

or dashboard is scratched, cracked, or

otherwise damaged.

● The surface of the seats with the side

airbag is scratched, cracked, or other-

wise damaged.

119

1-7. Safety information

● The portion of the front pillars, rear pil-

lars or roof side rail garnishes (padding)

containing the curtain shield airbags

inside is scratched, cracked or other-

wise 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.

120

1-7. Safety information

WARNING

■ SRS airbag precautions

● 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 sit less than 10 in.

(250 mm) 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 10 in. (250 mm) 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 by NHTSA above, while

still maintaining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of

the instrument panel controls.

● 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

safer for infants and children than the front passenger seat. (P. 137)

121

1-7. Safety information

WARNING

■ 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 allow the front seat occupants to

hold items on their knees.

● Do not lean against the door, the roof

side rail or the front, side and rear pil-

lars.

122

1-7. Safety information

WARNING

■ SRS airbag precautions

● Do not allow anyone to kneel on the

passenger seat 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 or steering wheel pad.

These items can become projectiles

when SRS driver and front passenger

airbags deploy.

● Do not attach anything to areas such as

a door, windshield glass, side door

glass, rear quarter glass, front and rear

pillar or roof side rail.

● 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. 94).

Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.

123

1-7. Safety information

WARNING

■ SRS airbag precautions

● 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 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.

● Modifications to the vehicle's suspension system.

● Installation of electronic devices such as mobile two-way radios and CD

players.

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

1-7. Safety information

Front passenger occupant classification system

Your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger occupant classifica-

tion system. Using the sensors installed under the seat cover, the

system detects the conditions of the front passenger seat and acti-

vates or deactivates the frontal airbag for front passenger seat. The

occupant classification system may not inflate the front passenger’s

SRS frontal airbag even when the driver’s SRS frontal airbag

deploys. This is not a malfunction. If the seat belt buckle switch and/

or front passenger’s occupant classification system have failed, the

SRS warning light will illuminate. Have the system inspected by your

Toyota dealer immediately if the SRS warning light illuminates.

If your vehicle has sustained impact, this may affect the proper func-

tion of the Toyota advanced frontal airbag system. Immediately con-

tact your Toyota dealer and have your vehicle inspected. Do not use

the front passenger seat while driving to your Toyota dealer.
