Roll sensing of curtain shield
airbags off switch
When you push the “RSCA OFF” switch
for a few seconds with the engine switch
on, the “RSCA OFF” indicator light comes
on and the roll sensing function is turned
off. When you push the switch again, the
indicator light goes off and the roll sens-
ing function is turned on. (For details
about the roll sensing function, see
“—SRS side airbags and curtain shield
airbags” on page 81 in this Section.)
D When it is unavoidable to install the
forward−facing child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat,
install the child restraint system on
the front passenger seat in the
proper order. (As for the installation
order, see “—Installation with seat
belt” on page 99 in this Section.)

D Do not remove the front seats.
D Do not kick the front passenger
seat or subject it to severe impact.
Otherwise, the SRS warning light
may come on to indicate a malfunc-
tion of the detection system. In this
case, contact your Toyota dealer im-
mediately.
In a severe side impact, the curtain shield
airbags on impacted side will inflate even
if the roll sensing function is turned off.
(For details about the curtain shield air-
bags, see “—SRS side airbags and curtain
shield airbags” on page 81 in this Sec-
tion.)
The roll sensing of curtain shield air-
bags off switch (“RSCA OFF” switch)
can turn off the curtain shield airbags
and seat belt pretensioners in a vehicle
rollover. This switch should only be
used if inflation is not desired (such as
extreme off−road driving).
In a severe frontal impact, the seat belt
pretensioners will work even if the roll
sensing function is turned off. (For details
about the seat belt pretensioners, see
“—Seat belt pretensioners” on page 71 in
this Section.)
The front passenger occupant classifica-
tion indicator light may indicate “ON” (the
front passenger airbag and side airbag on
the front passenger seat may deploy)
even if observing the above cautions,
when a child sits in, or a forward−facing
child restraint system is installed on the
front passenger seat. Refer to all the cau-
tions in “SRS airbags” on page 74 and
“Child restraint” on page 96 in this Sec-
tion.
If the engine switch is turned to “ACC” or
“LOCK” with the roll sensing function off
and then the engine switch is turned back
to “ON”, the roll sensing function will turn
back on automatically.
