■When required to leave the vehicle’s key with a parking attendant  
Turn the trunk opener main switch off as circumstances demand. (P. 47)  
On vehicles without a smart key system, provide the attendant with the valet  
key.  
On vehicles with a smart key system, remove the mechanical key for your  
own use and provide the attendant with the electronic key only.  
■Key number plate  
Keep the plate in a safe place, not in the vehicle. In the event that a key  
(without a smart key system) or mechanical key (with a smart key system) is  
lost, a new key can be made at your Toyota dealer using the key number  
plate. (P. 439)  
■When riding in an aircraft  
When bringing a key with wireless remote control function onto an aircraft,  
make sure you do not press any buttons on the key while inside the aircraft  
cabin. If you are carrying the key in your bag etc., ensure that the buttons  
are not likely to be pressed accidentally. Pressing a button may cause the  
key to emit radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the aircraft.

the rear bumper center when the trunk is unlocked.  
• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, rear shelf or floor, in the  
door pockets or glove box, auxiliary box when the engine is started or  
“ENGINE START STOP” switch modes are changed.  
●Do not leave the electronic key on top of the instrument panel or near the  
door pockets when exiting the vehicle. Depending on the radio wave  
reception conditions, it may be detected by the antenna outside the cabin  
and the door will become lockable from the outside, possibly trapping the  
electronic key inside the vehicle.  
●As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, the doors may  
be locked or unlocked by anyone.  
●Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to  
start the engine if the electronic key is near the window.  
●The doors may unlock if a large amount of water splashes on the door  
handle, such as in the rain or in a car wash when the electronic key is  
within the effective range. (The door will automatically be locked after  
approximately 60 seconds if the doors are not opened and closed.)  
●Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.  
●If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when the elec-  
tronic key is near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not  
be unlocked by the entry function. (Use the wireless remote control to  
unlock the doors.)  
●A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle may prevent the  
doors from being unlocked. In this case, return the door handle to the  
original position and check that the doors unlock before pulling the door  
handle again.  
32  
1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk  
■Notes for locking the doors  
●Touching the door lock sensor while wearing gloves may delay or prevent  
lock operation. Remove the gloves and touch the lock sensor again.  
●When the lock operation is performed using the lock sensor, recognition  
signals will be shown up to two consecutive times. After this, no recogni-  
tion signals will be given.

●If the door handle becomes wet when washing the vehicle while the elec-  
tronic key is within the effective range, the door may lock and unlock  
repeatedly. In this case, place the electronic key in a location 6 ft. (2 m) or  
more away from the vehicle (take care to ensure that the key is not sto-  
len), and continue to wash the vehicle.  
●If the electronic key is inside the vehicle and a door handle becomes wet  
during a car wash, a buzzer will sound outside the vehicle. To turn off the  
alarm, lock all the doors.  
●The lock sensor may not work properly if it comes into contact with ice,  
snow, mud, etc. Clean the lock sensor and attempt to operate it again.  
■Notes for the unlocking function  
●A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle may prevent the  
doors from being unlocked. In this case, return the door handle to the  
original position and check that the doors unlock before pulling the door  
handle again.  
●Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.  
Remove the gloves and touch the sensor on the back of the handle  
again.  
●If the door handle becomes wet when washing the vehicle while the elec-  
tronic key is within the effective range, the door may lock and unlock  
repeatedly. In this case, place the electronic key in a location 6 ft. (2 m) or  
more away from the vehicle (take care to ensure that the key is not sto-  
len), and continue to wash the vehicle.  
●If there is another electronic key in the detection area, it may take slightly  
longer to unlock the doors after the door handle is gripped.

Seat belt pretensioners (front seats)  
The pretensioner helps the seat  
belt to quickly restrain the occu-  
pant by retracting the seat belt  
when the vehicle is subjected to  
certain types of severe frontal or  
side collision or a vehicle roll-  
over.  
The pretensioner may not acti-  
vate in the event of a minor frontal  
or side impact or a rear impact.  
61  
1-3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)  
■Emergency locking retractor (ELR)  
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also  
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to  
extend so that you can move around fully.  
■Automatic locking retractor (ALR)  
When a passenger's shoulder belt is completely extended and then  
retracted even slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be  
extended. This feature is used to hold the child restraint system (CRS) firmly.  
To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once  
more. (P. 141)  
■Child seat belt usage  
The seat belts of your vehicle are principally designed for persons of adult  
size.  
●Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child  
becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat belt.  
(P. 137)  
●When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat  
belt, follow the instructions on P. 60 regarding seat belt usage.  
■Seat belt pretensioners  
●Seatbelt pretensioners are not designed to activate in a rear impact or  
minor frontal or side impact.

is subjected to a severe collision on the front passenger’s seat side of the  
vehicle.  
• Seat belt pretensioner for front passenger  
• Side airbag for front passenger  
●Pretensioners are designed to function on a one-time-only basis. In the  
event that a pretensioner is activated, both the driver’s and front passen-  
ger’s seat belt retractor assemblies must be replaced only by Toyota  
dealer. When replacing seat belt retractor assemblies for the front seat-  
ing positions, use only genuine Toyota parts equipped with a force limiter.  
●If either front seat belt does not retract or cannot be pulled out due to a  
malfunction or activation of the pretensioner, contact your Toyota dealer  
as soon as possible.  
●If the front seat belt retractor assembly or surrounding area has been  
damaged, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.  
●When you sell your vehicle, we urge you to explain to the buyer that it  
has seat belt pretensioners by alerting the buyer to the contents of this  
section.  
■Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated  
If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate  
for the first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent colli-  
sions.

1-3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)  
WARNING  
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of  
sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.  
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.  
■Wearing a seat belt  
●Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt.  
●Always wear a seat belt properly.  
●Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt  
for more than one person at once, including children.  
●Toyota recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and always  
use a seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.  
●To achieve a proper seating position, do not recline the seat more than  
necessary. The seat belt is most effective when the occupants are sitting  
up straight and well back in the seats.  
●Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.  
●Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips.  
■Pregnant women  
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat  
belt in the proper way. (P. 60)  
Women who are pregnant should position  
the lap belt as low as possible over the  
hips in the same manner as other occu-  
pants. Extend the shoulder belt com-  
pletely over the shoulder and position the  
belt across the chest. Avoid belt contact  
over the rounding of the abdominal area.  
If the seat belt is not worn properly, not  
only the pregnant woman, but also the  
fetus could suffer death or serious injury  
as a result of sudden braking or a colli-  
sion.

1-5. Refueling  
WARNING  
■Refueling the vehicle  
Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle.  
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.  
1
●Do not handle fuel indoors.  
●After exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel door, touch an  
unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity. It is important to  
discharge static electricity before refueling because sparks resulting from  
static electricity can cause fuel vapors to ignite while refueling.  
●Always hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it.  
A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened.  
Wait until the sound cannot be heard before fully removing the cap.  
In hot weather, pressurized fuel may spray out of the filler neck and cause  
injury.  
●Do not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their  
body to come close to an open fuel tank.  
●Do not allow anyone to approach the area of the vehicle near the fuel filler  
pipe while refueling is in progress.  
●Do not inhale vaporized fuel.  
Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.  
●Do not smoke while refueling the vehicle.  
Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.  
●Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically  
charged.  
This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible ignition  
hazard.  
77  
1-5. Refueling  
WARNING  
■When refueling  
Observe the following precautions to prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel  
tank:  
●Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck  
●Stop filling the tank after the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off  
●Do not top off the fuel tank  
●Observe other precautions that are posted at the service station.  
●Turn the cap to the right until it clicks to ensure that it is fully tightened. If  
the cap is not securely tightened, fuel spillage could occur in the event of  
an accident, creating a fire hazard.  
■When replacing the fuel cap  
Do not use anything but a genuine Toyota fuel tank cap designed for your  
vehicle. Doing so may cause a fire or other incident which may result in  
death or serious injury.  
NOTICE  
■Refueling  
●Do not spill fuel during refueling.  
Doing so may damage the vehicle, such as causing the emission control  
system to operate abnormally or damaging fuel system components or the  
vehicle's painted surface.  
●Never add any cleaning agents to the fuel tank. The addition of a cleaning  
agent may cause damage to the fuel system.  
●Immediately put fuel in the tank whenever the low fuel warning light illumi-  
nates. Engine misfires as a result of an empty tank could cause damage to  
the engine.

1-7. Safety information  
WARNING  
■While driving  
●Do not adjust the position of the driver's seat.  
Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.  
●Do not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seatback.  
A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce  
the effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint, increasing the risk of  
death or serious injury to the driver or passenger.  
●Do not place anything under the front seats.  
Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the seat  
tracks and stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an acci-  
dent resulting in serious injury or death. The adjustment mechanism may  
also be damaged.  
■Adjusting the seat position  
●Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passen-  
gers are not injured by the moving seat.  
●Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid  
injury.  
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.  
88  
1-7. Safety information  
SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag)  
The SRS airbags inflate when the vehicle is subjected to certain  
types of severe impacts that may cause significant injury to the  
occupants. They work together with the seat belts to help reduce the  
risk of death or serious injury.  
1
SRS: This stands for supplemental restraint system. This name is  
used because the airbag system supplements the vehicle’s seat  
belts.  
Models with SRS airbags and seat belts for driver, front pas-  
senger, and rear passengers  
Your vehicle is equipped with a supplemental restraint system in  
addition to a seat belt at each front seating positions and each rear  
seating positions. The supplemental restraint system (SRS) con-  
sists of six airbags. The configurations are as follows.  
89  
1-7. Safety information  
Driver’s and front passenger’s frontal airbags  
Driver’s and front passenger’s side airbags  
Curtain shield airbags (for driver, front passenger, and rear pas-  
sengers)  
These SRS airbags are designed only as a supplement to the pri-  
mary protection provided by the seat belt.  
The system also controls front seat belt pretensioners. For opera-  
tion instructions and precautions concerning the seat belt preten-  
sioner, refer to “Seat belt pretensioners”. (P. 61)  
■When you sell your vehicle  
When you sell your vehicle, we urge you to explain to the buyer that it is  
equipped with SRS airbags by alerting the buyer to the applicable section in  
this Owner’s Manual.  
90  
1-7. Safety information  
WARNING  
■SRS airbag  
●To obtain maximum protection in the event of an accident, the driver and  
all passengers in the vehicle should always wear seat belts when the vehi-  
cle is moving. The SRS airbag is designed only to be a supplement to the  
primary protection provided by the seat belt. It does not eliminate the need  
to fasten seat belts. In combination with the seat belts, it offers the best  
combined protection in case of a serious accident.  
1
Not wearing a seat belt increases the chance of severe injury or death in a  
crash even when the vehicle has the SRS airbag.  
For instructions and precautions concerning the seat belt system, refer to  
“Seat belts”. (P. 60)  
●Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to the SRS airbag. Because the  
SRS airbag deploys with considerable speed - faster than the blink of an  
eye - and force to protect in high speed collisions, the force of an airbag  
can injure an occupant whose body is too close to SRS airbag.  
It is also important to wear your seat belt to help avoid injuries that can  
result when the SRS airbag contacts an occupant not in proper position  
such as one thrown forward during pre-accident braking.  
Even when properly positioned, there remains a possibility that an occu-  
pant may suffer minor injury such as abrasions and bruises to the face or  
arms because of the SRS airbag deployment force.  
●The SRS airbags deploy with considerable speed and force. Occupants  
who are out of proper position when the SRS airbag deploys could suffer  
very serious injuries. Because the SRS airbag needs enough space for  
deployment, the driver should always sit upright and well back in the seat  
as far from the steering wheel as practical while still maintaining full vehi-  
cle control and the front passenger should move the seat as far back as  
possible and sit upright and well back in the seat.  
●Do not place any objects over or near the SRS airbag cover or between  
you and the SRS airbag. If the SRS airbag deploys, those objects could  
interfere with its proper operation and could be propelled inside the vehicle  
and cause injury.  
91  
1-7. Safety information  
WARNING  
■SRS airbag  
●Put children aged 12 and under in the  
rear seat properly restrained at all  
times. The SRS airbag deploys with  
considerable speed and force and can  
injure or even kill children, especially if  
they are 12 years of age and under and  
are not restrained or improperly  
restrained. Because children are lighter  
and weaker than adults, their risk of  
being injured from deployment is  
greater.  
For that reason, we strongly recom-  
mend that ALL children (including those  
in child seats and those that have out-  
grown child restraint devices) sit in the  
REAR seat properly restrained at all  
times in a child restraint device or in a  
seat belt, whichever is appropriate for  
the child's age, height and weight.  
Secure ALL types of child restraint  
devices (including forward facing child  
seats) in the REAR seats at all times.  
According to accident statistics, chil-  
dren are safer when properly restrained  
in the rear seating positions than in the  
front seating positions.  
For instructions and precautions con-  
cerning the child restraint system, refer  
to “Child restraint systems”. (P. 137)  
92  
1-7. Safety information  
WARNING  
■SRS airbag  
●NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACING CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT  
SEAT. DOING SO RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE CHILD  
BY PLACING THE CHILD’S HEAD TOO CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG.  
1
●Never allow a child to stand up, or to kneel on the front passenger’s seat,  
or never hold a child on your lap or in your arms. The SRS airbag deploys  
with considerable force and can injure or even kill the child.  
●When the SRS airbag deploys, some smoke will be released. This smoke  
could cause breathing problems for people with a history of asthma or  
other breathing trouble. If you or your passengers have breathing prob-  
lems after SRS airbag deploys, get fresh air promptly.  
●A deploying SRS airbag releases hot gas. Occupants could get burned if  
they come into direct contact with the hot gas.

Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed based  
on US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The airbag sys-  
tem controls airbag deployment power for the driver and front pas-  
senger. The front passenger's airbag system consists of the front  
passenger occupant detection control module etc.  
The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The  
SRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag control module. The  
airbag control module consists of an airbag sensor.  
In certain types of severe front or side impacts, the SRS airbag sys-  
tem triggers the airbag inflators. A chemical reaction in the inflators  
quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion  
of the occupants.  
■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)  
●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may be sustained from SRS air-  
bags, due to the extremely high speed deployment (inflation) by hot  
gases.  
●A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.  
●Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator)  
as well as the front seats, parts of the front and rear pillars, and roof side  
rails, may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.  
●The windshield may crack.  
95  
1-7. Safety information  
Toyota advanced frontal airbag system  
Your vehicle is equipped with a Toyota advanced frontal airbag sys-  
tem that complies with the new advanced frontal airbag requirements  
in the amended Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No.  
208.  
The Toyota advanced frontal airbag system automatically determines  
the deployment force of the driver’s SRS frontal airbag at the time of  
deployment as well as whether or not to activate the front passen-  
ger’s SRS frontal airbag and, if activated, the deployment force of the  
SRS frontal airbag at the time of deployment.  
Your vehicle has warning labels on the driver’s and front passenger’s  
sun visors beginning with the phrase “EVEN WITH ADVANCED AIR  
BAGS” and a tag attached to the glove box lid beginning with the  
phrase “Even with Advanced Air Bags”. Make sure that you carefully  
read the instructions on the warning labels and tag.  
Always wear your seat belt. The Toyota advanced frontal airbag sys-  
tem is a supplemental restraint system and must be used in combina-  
tion with a seat belt. All occupants should wear a seat belt or be  
seated in an appropriate child restraint system.  
The driver’s SRS frontal airbag is stowed in the center portion of the  
steering wheel. The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is stowed  
near the top of the dashboard under an “SRS AIRBAG” mark.  
In a moderate to severe frontal collision, the following components  
deploy.  
● SRS frontal airbag for driver  
● SRS frontal airbag for front passenger  
These components supplement the seat belts by reducing the impact  
to the occupant’s head and chest.  
96  
1-7. Safety information  
■Driver’s SRS frontal airbag  
The driver’s SRS frontal airbag uses a dual stage inflator. The inflator oper-  
ates in different ways depending on the severity of impact.  
Have the system inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately if the SRS  
warning light illuminates.  
1
NOTE  
The driver’s SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag are not con-  
trolled by the Toyota advanced frontal airbag system.  
■Front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag  
The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag uses a dual stage inflator. The  
inflator operates in different ways depending on the severity of impact.  
The occupant classification system sensor is installed under the seat uphol-  
stery and monitors the physique and posture of the front passenger. Using  
this information, the occupant classification system determines whether the  
front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag should be deployed or not.  
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 normal. In this case, although the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag  
does not operate, the front passenger’s seat belt pretensioner operates with  
the driver’s seat belt pretensioner. For details about the seat belt preten-  
sioner, refer to “Seat belt pretensioners”. (P. 61)  
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may prevent the Toyota  
advanced frontal airbag system from functioning correctly or cause the sys-  
tem to fail.  
●Do not apply any strong impact to the front passenger’s seat.  
●Do not spill liquid on the front passenger’s seat. If liquid is spilled, wipe it  
off immediately.  
●Do not remove or disassemble the front passenger’s seat.  
●Do not install any accessory (such as an audio amplifier) other than a  
genuine Toyota accessory under the front passenger’s seat.  
●Do not place anything (shoes, umbrella, etc.) under the front passenger’s  
seat.  
●Do not place a magnet near the seat belt buckle.  
97  
1-7. Safety information  
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 illumi-  
nates.  
If your vehicle has sustained impact, this may affect the proper function of  
the Toyota advanced frontal airbag system. Have your vehicle inspected at  
your Toyota dealer. Do not use the front passenger’s seat while driving the  
vehicle to your Toyota dealer.  
NOTE  
The front passenger’s SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag are  
not controlled by the Toyota advanced frontal airbag system.  
■Passenger’s frontal airbag ON and OFF indicators  
P. 128  
■Occupant classification system  
The occupant classification system sensor is installed under the seat uphol-  
stery and monitors the physique and posture of the front passenger. Using  
this information, the occupant classification system determines whether the  
front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag should be deployed or not.  
If the front passenger’s seat cushion is wet, this may adversely affect the  
ability of the system to determine deployment. If the seat cushion is wet, the  
front passenger should stop sitting on the front passenger’s seat. Wipe off  
liquid from the seat immediately, let the seat dry naturally and then check the  
SRS warning light as follows.  
●If the SRS warning light illuminates, keep the seat dry until the warning  
light turns off. If the SRS warning light stays on even when the seat has  
dried, do not allow anyone to sit on the front passenger’s seat and have  
the system checked by your Toyota dealer.  
●If the SRS warning light does not illuminate, check that the front passen-  
ger’s frontal airbag ON and OFF indicators work properly. If the indicators  
do not work properly, do not allow anyone to sit on the front passenger’s  
seat and have the system checked by your Toyota dealer.  
98  
1-7. Safety information  
Also, if luggage or electronic devices are placed on the front passenger’s  
seat, this may adversely affect the ability of the system to determine deploy-  
ment. This may prevent the front passenger’s frontal airbag ON and OFF  
indicators from working properly. Check that the indicators work properly.  
When the OFF indicator turns off and the ON indicator illuminates, the front  
passenger’s frontal airbag may deploy during a collision. Remove luggage  
and electronic devices from the front passenger’s seat.  
1
NOTE  
This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules. This device may cause  
interference. If this device causes interference, consult the nearest Toyota  
dealer. Also, for maintenance of the system, consult the nearest Toyota  
dealer.  
■Conditions in which front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is not acti-  
vated  
The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag will not be activated when any of  
the following conditions are met regarding the front passenger’s seat:  
●The seat is empty.  
●The seat is equipped with an appropriate child restraint system and an  
infant is restrained in it.  
●The occupant changed their posture after the occupant load is judged.  
●The front passenger’s occupant classification system is malfunctioning.  
WARNING  
When the front passenger’s seat is occupied by an infant in an appropriate  
child restraint system, observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may  
interfere with the proper operation of the occupant classification system, acti-  
vating the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag even though that seat is occu-  
pied by the infant in the child restraint system.  
●Do not place any article (including electronic devices) on the seat other than  
the infant in the child restraint system.  
●Do not place more than one infant in the child restraint system.  
99  
1-7. Safety information  
■If the front passenger’s frontal airbag ON indicator illuminates and the  
OFF indicator turns off even when an infant or a small child is in a child  
restraint system (including booster seat)  
Turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position (vehicles without a smart key  
system), or turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off (vehicles with a  
smart key system) if the front passenger’s frontal airbag ON indicator illumi-  
nates and the OFF indicator turns off even when an infant or a small child is  
in a child restraint system (including booster seat). Remove the child  
restraint system from the seat. By referring to the child restraint manufac-  
turer’s recommendations as well as the child restraint system installation  
procedures in “Child restraint systems” (P. 137), correctly install the child  
restraint system. Turn the engine switch to the “ON” position (vehicles with-  
out a smart key system), or turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to IGNI-  
TION ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system) and make sure that the  
front passenger’s frontal airbag ON indicator turns off and the OFF indicator  
illuminates.  
If still the ON indicator remains illuminated while the OFF indicator turns off,  
take the following actions.  
●Ensure that no article is placed on the seat other than the child restraint  
system and the child occupant.  
●Ensure that the backward-forward position and seatback of front passen-  
ger’s seat are locked into place securely by moving the seat back and  
forth.  
If the ON indicator still remains illuminated while the OFF indicator turns off  
after taking relevant corrective actions described above, relocate the child  
restraint system to the rear seat and immediately contact your Toyota dealer  
for an inspection.  
NOTE  
When a child who has outgrown a child restraint system or a small adult is  
seated in the front passenger’s seat, the Toyota advanced frontal airbag sys-  
tem may or may not activate the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag  
depending on the occupant’s seating posture. The child should always wear  
the seat belt when sitting in the seat irrespective of whether the airbag is  
deactivated or activated. If the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is acti-  
vated (the ON indicator remains illuminated while the OFF indicator turns  
off), take the following actions.

1-7. Safety information  
●Ensure that no article is placed on the seat other than the occupant.  
If the ON indicator still remains illuminated while the OFF indicator turns off  
despite the fact that the actions noted above have been taken, seat the  
child/small adult in the rear seat and immediately contact your Toyota dealer  
for an inspection. Even if the system has passed the dealer inspection, it is  
recommended that on subsequent trips the child/small adult always take the  
rear seat.  
1
Children who have outgrown a child restraint system should always wear the  
seat belt irrespective of whether the airbag is deactivated or activated.  
■Conditions in which front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is activated  
The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag will be activated for deployment  
upon impact when any of the following conditions are met regarding the front  
passenger’s seat.  
●When the seat is occupied by an adult.  
●When a certain item(s) (e.g. jug of water) is placed on the seat.  
101  
1-7. Safety information  
■If the passenger’s frontal airbag OFF indicator illuminates and the ON  
indicator turns off even when the front passenger’s seat is occupied by  
an adult  
This can be caused by the adult incorrectly sitting in the front passenger’s  
seat. Turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position (vehicles without a smart  
key system), or turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off (vehicles with a  
smart key system). Ask the front passenger to set the seatback to the  
upright position, sit up straight in the center of the seat cushion, correctly  
fasten the seat belt, position his/her legs out forward, and adjust the seat to  
the rearmost position. Turn the engine switch to the “ON” position (vehicles  
without a smart key system), or turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to  
IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system). If the OFF indicator  
remains illuminated while the ON indicator remains off, take the following  
actions.  
●Vehicles without a smart key system:  
Turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position.  
Vehicles with a smart key system:  
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off.  
●Make sure that the front passenger does not use a blanket, seat cushion,  
seat cover, seat heater or massager, etc.  
●If wearing excessive layers of clothing, the front passenger should  
remove any unnecessary items before sitting in the front passenger’s  
seat, or should sit in a rear seat.  
●Next, turn the engine switch to the “ON” position and wait 6 seconds to  
allow the system to complete self-checking. Following the system check,  
both indicators turn off for 2 seconds. Now, the ON indicator should illu-  
minate while the OFF indicator remains off.  
If the OFF indicator still remains illuminated while the ON indicator remains  
off, ask the occupant to move to the rear seat and immediately contact your  
Toyota dealer for an inspection.

■Operation  
Driver's side  
SRS AIRBAGs deploy as soon as a  
collision occurs.

After deployment, SRS AIRBAGs start  
to deflate immediately so that the  
driver’s vision is not obstructed.  
Passenger’s side  
SRS AIRBAGs deploy as soon as a  
collision occurs.  
After deployment, SRS AIRBAGs start  
to deflate immediately so that the  
driver's vision is not obstructed.  
103  
1-7. Safety information  
The SRS airbag can function only when the engine switch is in the “ON”  
position (vehicles without a smart key system) or when the “ENGINE START  
STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system).  
The Toyota advanced frontal airbag system is designed to determine the  
activation or deactivation condition of the front passenger’s SRS frontal air-  
bag depending on the characteristic of the item(s) or person on the front  
passenger’s seat monitored by the front passenger’s occupant classification  
system sensor. For this reason, only the driver’s SRS frontal airbag may  
deploy in the event of a collision, but this does not mean failure of the sys-  
tem.  
If the front sub sensors and the impact sensors in the airbag control module  
detect a predetermined amount of force during a frontal collision, the control  
module sends signals to the airbag module(s) (only driver’s module or both  
driver’s and front passenger’s modules) instructing the module(s) to inflate  
the SRS frontal airbag(s).  
The driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags use dual stage infla-  
tors. The two inflators of each airbag are triggered either sequentially or  
simultaneously, depending on the severity of impact, in the case of the  
driver’s SRS frontal airbag and depending on the severity of impact and the  
characteristic of the item(s) or person on the seat in the case of the front  
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag.  
After deployment, the SRS airbag immediately starts to deflate so that the  
driver’s vision is not obstructed. The time required from detecting impact to  
the deflation of the SRS airbag after deployment is shorter than the blink of  
an eye.  
Both when only the driver’s SRS frontal airbag deploys and the driver’s and  
front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags deploy, the driver’s and front passen-  
ger’s seat belt pretensioners operate at the same time.  
Although it is highly unlikely that the SRS airbag would activate in a non-  
accident situation, should it occur, the SRS airbag will deflate quickly, not  
obscuring vision and will not interfere with the driver's ability to maintain con-  
trol of the vehicle.  
When the SRS airbag deploys, a sudden, fairly loud inflation noise will be  
heard and some smoke will be released. These occurrences are a normal  
result of the deployment. This smoke does not indicate a fire in the vehicle.  
104  
1-7. Safety information  
The driver’s SRS frontal airbag and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag are  
designed to deploy in the event of an accident involving a moderate to  
severe frontal collision. They are not designed to deploy in most lesser fron-  
tal impacts because the necessary protection can be achieved by the seat  
belt alone. Also, they are not designed to deploy in most side or rear impacts  
or in most roll-over accidents because deployment of only the driver’s SRS  
frontal airbag or both driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags  
would not help the occupant in those situations. The driver’s and front pas-  
senger’s SRS frontal airbags are designed to function on a one-time-only  
basis.  
1
SRS airbag deployment depends on the level of force experienced in the  
passenger compartment during a collision. That level differs from one type of  
collision to another, and it may have no bearing on the visible damage done  
to the vehicle itself.  
■Example of accident in which the driver’s/driver’s and front passen-  
ger’s SRS frontal airbag(s) will most likely deploy  
A head-on collision against a thick concrete wall at a vehicle speeds of 12 to  
19 mph (20 to 30 km/h) or higher activates only the driver’s SRS frontal air-  
bag or both driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags. The airbag(s)  
will also be activated when the vehicle is exposed to a frontal impact similar  
in fashion and magnitude to the collision described above.  
105  
1-7. Safety information  
■Examples of the types of accidents in which it is possible that the  
driver’s/driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag(s) will deploy  
Only the driver’s SRS frontal airbag or  
both driver’s and front passenger’s SRS  
frontal airbags may be activated when the  
vehicle sustains a hard impact in the  
undercarriage area from the road surface  
(such as when the vehicle plunges into a  
deep ditch, is severely impacted or  
knocked hard against an obstacle on the  
road such as a curb).  
■Examples of the types of accidents in which deployment of the  
driver’s/driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag(s) is unlikely  
to occur  
There are many types of collisions which might not necessarily require  
deployment of driver’s/driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag(s).  
In the event of accidents like those illustrated, the driver’s/driver’s and front  
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag(s) may not deploy depending on the level of  
accident forces involved.  
The vehicle strikes an object, such as a  
telephone pole or sign pole.  
106

107  
1-7. Safety information  
■Examples of the types of accidents in which the driver’s/driver’s and  
front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag(s) will basically not deploy  
The driver’s and front passenger’s SRS  
frontal airbags are designed not to deploy  
in most cases if the vehicle is struck from  
the side or from behind, or if it rolls onto  
its side or roof, or if it is involved in a low-  
speed frontal collision.  
First impact  
Second impact  
In an accident where the vehicle is  
impacted more than once, the driver’s  
and/or front passenger’s SRS frontal air-  
bag(s) will deploy only once on the first  
impact.  
Example: In the case of a double colli-  
sion, first with another vehicle, then  
against a concrete wall in immediate suc-  
cession, once either or both of the driver’s  
and front passenger’s SRS frontal air-  
bags is/are activated on the first impact,  
it/they will not be activated on the second  
impact.  
108  
1-7. Safety information  
WARNING  
■If the SRS airbags deploy  
Do not touch the SRS airbag system components around the steering wheel  
and dashboard with bare hands right after deployment. Doing so can cause  
burns because the components can be very hot as a result of deployment.  
1
■Child restraint precautions  
NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACING CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT  
PASSENGER’S SEAT EVEN IF THE FRONT PASSENGER’S SRS FRON-  
TAL AIRBAG IS DEACTIVATED. Be sure to install it in the REAR seat in a  
correct manner. Also, it is strongly recommended that any forward facing  
child seat or booster seat be installed in the REAR seat, and that even chil-  
dren who have outgrown a child restraint system be also seated in the  
REAR seat. This is because children sitting in the front passenger’s seat  
may be killed or severely injured should the front passenger’s SRS frontal  
airbag deploy. REAR seats are the safest place for children.  
109  
1-7. Safety information  
SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag  
The SRS side airbag is stored in the door side of each front seat  
seatback, which bears an “SRS AIRBAG” label.  
In a moderate to severe side impact collision, the SRS side airbag on  
the impacted side of the vehicle deploys between the occupant and  
the door panel and supplements the seat belt by reducing the impact  
on the occupant’s chest and waist. The SRS side airbag operates  
only for front seat occupants.  
The SRS curtain shield airbag on each side of the cabin is stored in  
the roof side (between the front pillar and a point over the rear seat).  
An “SRS AIRBAG” mark is located at the top of each front and rear  
pillar.  
In a moderate to severe side impact collision, the SRS curtain shield  
airbag on the impacted side of the vehicle deploys between the occu-  
pant and the side window and supplements the seat belt by reducing  
the impact on the occupant’s head.  
110  
1-7. Safety information  
■Operation  
1
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag can function only when  
the engine switch is in the “ON” position (vehicles without a smart key sys-  
tem) or when the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode  
(vehicles with a smart key system).  
The driver’s and front passenger’s SRS side airbags and SRS curtain shield  
airbags deploy independently of each other since each has its own impact  
sensor. Therefore, they may not both deploy in the same accident. Also, the  
SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag deploys independently of the  
driver’s and front passenger’s SRS front airbags in the steering wheel and  
instrument panel.  
A rollover sensor is also located inside the airbag control module.  
An impact sensor, which senses impact force, is located in each of the left  
and right center pillars, doors and rear wheel houses. Another impact sen-  
sor, which also senses impact force, is located under the center of the rear  
seats.  
If the impact sensor that is located under the center of the rear seats and  
one of the center pillar impact sensors or door impact sensors together  
sense an impact force above a predetermined level in a side collision, the  
control module causes both the SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag on  
the impacted side to inflate regardless of whether the rear wheel house  
impact sensor on the same side senses an impact.  
If the impact sensor that is located under the center of the rear seats and  
one of the rear wheel house impact sensors together sense an impact force  
above a predetermined level, the control module causes only the SRS cur-  
tain shield airbag on the impacted side to inflate.  
If the rollover sensor detects rollover of the vehicle, the control module  
inflates the SRS curtain shield airbags. At this time, the driver's and front  
passenger’s seat belt pretensioners also operate at the same time.  
111  
1-7. Safety information  
After the deployment, the SRS side airbag immediately starts to deflate. The  
time required from detection of an impact to deflation of an SRS side airbag  
after deployment is shorter than the blink of an eye.  
The SRS curtain shield airbag remains inflated for a while following deploy-  
ment then slowly deflates.  
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag deploy even when no  
one occupies the seat on the side on which an impact is applied.  
When the SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag deploy, a sudden,  
fairly loud inflation noise will be heard and some smoke will be released.  
These occurrences are a normal result of the deployment. This smoke does  
not indicate a fire in the vehicle.  
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag are designed to deploy  
in the event of an accident involving a moderate to severe side impact colli-  
sion. They are not designed to deploy in most lesser side impact. Also, they  
are not designed to deploy in most frontal or most rear impacts because  
SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag deployment would not help  
the occupant in those situations.  
The SRS curtain shield airbags are also designed to deploy when the vehi-  
cle is in an extremely inclined state such as during a rollover. They are not  
designed to deploy in lesser inclined state.  
Each SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag are designed to func-  
tion on a one-time-only basis.  
SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag deployment depend on the  
level of force experienced in the passenger compartment during a side  
impact collision. That level differs from one type of collision to another, and it  
may have no bearing on the visible damage done to the vehicle itself.  
112  
1-7. Safety information

impact.  
Example: In the case of a double side impact collision, first with one vehicle  
and immediately followed by another from the same direction, once the SRS  
side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag are activated on the first impact,  
they will not be activated on the second.  
117  
1-7. Safety information  
WARNING  
■If the SRS airbags deploy  
Do not touch the SRS side airbag system components around the front seat  
seatback with bare hands right after deployment. Doing so can cause burns  
because the components can be very hot as a result of deployment.  
After deployment, do not touch any part of the SRS curtain shield airbag sys-  
tem (from the front pillar to the part of the roof side over the rear seat). Doing  
so can cause burns because the components can be very hot as a result of  
deployment.  
■SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag precautions  
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag are designed only to be  
a supplement to the primary protection provided by the seat belt. They do  
not do away with the need to fasten seat belts. It is also important to wear  
your seat belt to help avoid injuries that can result when an occupant is not  
seated in a proper upright position.  
118  
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

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:  
1
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.  
1
●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.

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.

WARNING  
■Front passenger occupant classification system precautions  
Observe the following precautions regarding front passenger occupant clas-  
sification system.  
1
Failure to do so may cause the occupant classification system to not function  
correctly, resulting in death or serious injury.  
●Wear the seat belt properly.  
●Do not apply excessive force to the seat.  
●Do not put sharp object(s) on the seat or pierce the seat upholstery.  
●Do not put objects under the front passenger seat.  
●Do not use a seat accessory, such as a cushion or seat cover, that covers  
the seat cushion surface.  
●Do not spill liquid on the front passenger seat. If liquid is spilled, wipe it off  
immediately and dry the seat. If the airbag warning light illuminates, dry  
the seat until the warning light turns off. If the airbag warning light stays on  
even when the seat has dried, do not allow anyone to sit on the front pas-  
senger seat and have the system checked by your Toyota dealer. If the air-  
bag warning light does not illuminate, check that the airbag ON/OFF  
indicator light works properly. If the indicator light does not work properly,  
do not allow anyone to sit in the front passenger’s seat and have the sys-  
tem inspected by your Toyota dealer.  
●Do not remove or disassemble the front passenger seat. Also, do not  
replace or modify the seat upholstery or foam inside the seat.  
●Do not install any accessory (such as an audio amplifier) other than a gen-  
uine Toyota accessory under the front passenger’s seat.  
●Do not place a magnetized items near the seat belt buckle.  
135  
1-7. Safety information  
WARNING  
■Front passenger occupant classification system precautions  
●Never install a rearward facing child seat in the front passenger’s seat  
even if the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is deactivated. Be sure to  
install it in the rear seat in a correct manner. Also, it is strongly recom-  
mended that any forward facing child seat or booster seat be installed in  
the rear seat, and that even children who have outgrown a child restraint  
system be also seated in the rear seat. This is because children sitting in  
the front passenger’s seat may be killed or severely injured should the  
front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag deploy. Toyota believes that the rear  
seats are the safest place for children  
●If luggage or electronic devices are placed on the front passenger seat,  
the OFF indicator may turn off and the ON indicator may illuminate. If this  
occurs, the front passenger’s airbag may deploy during a collision. If this is  
not desirable, remove the luggage or electronic devices from the front pas-  
senger seat.  
●Modifications for persons with disabilities that may affect the front passen-  
ger occupant classification system. (U.S. only) Removing, replacing or  
modifying any parts of the front seats, seat belts, front bumper, front side  
frame, instrument panel, combination meter, steering wheel, steering col-  
umn, tires, suspension or floor panel can affect the operation of the Toyota  
front passenger occupant classification system.  
136  
1-7. Safety information  
Child restraint systems  
A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be prop-  
erly restrained on the seat with the LATCH anchors or the lap portion  
of the lap/shoulder belt.  
1
The laws of all 50 states of the U.S.A. and Canada now require the  
use of child restraint systems.  
Points to remember  
Studies have shown that installing a child restraint on a rear seat is  
much safer than installing one to 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. 141)  
Types of child restraints  
Child restraint systems are classified into the following 3 types  
according to the age and size of the child.  
Rear facing Infant seat/convertible seat  
137  
1-7. Safety information  
Forward facing Convertible seat  
Booster seat  
■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 a child is too large for a child restraint system, sit the child on a rear  
seat and use the vehicle's seat belt. (P. 60)  
138  
1-7. Safety information  
WARNING  
■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.  
1
●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 even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated. In the event  
of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag  
can cause death or serious injury to the child if the rear-facing child  
restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat.  
●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 even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is illumi-  
nated, because the front passenger airbag could inflate with considerable  
speed and force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously injured.  
139  
1-7. Safety information  
WARNING  
■Child restraint precautions  
●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 airbags 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 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 restraint unsecured in the passenger compart-  
ment.  
●If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from the  
vehicle or store it securely in the trunk. This will prevent it from injuring  
passengers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.

restraint system is installed to the LATCH anchors first, it may not be possi-  
ble to attach the top tether strap to the anchor bracket.  
In that case, first temporarily attach the top tether strap to the anchor  
bracket, install the child restraint system using the lower anchors and then  
tighten the top tether strap.  
■Laws and regulations pertaining to anchorages  
The LATCH system conforms to FMVSS225 or CMVSS210.2.  
Child restraint systems conforming to FMVSS213 or CMVSS213 specifica-  
tions can be used.  
This vehicle is designed to conform to the SAE J1819.  
148  
1-7. Safety information  
WARNING  
■When installing a booster seat  
To prevent the belt from going into ALR lock mode, do not fully extend the  
shoulder belt. ALR mode causes the belt to tighten only. This could cause  
injury or discomfort to the child. (P. 62)  
1
■When installing a child restraint system  
Follow the directions given in the child restraint system installation manual  
and fix the child restraint system securely in place.  
If the child restraint system is not correctly fixed in place, the child or other  
passengers may be injured or even killed in the event of sudden braking,  
sudden swerving or an accident.  
●If the driver’s seat interferes with the  
child restraint system and prevents it  
from being attached correctly, attach  
the child restraint system to the right-  
hand rear seat.  
●Adjust the front passenger seat so that  
it does not interfere with the child  
restraint system.  
●Only put a forward facing child restraint  
system on the front seat when unavoid-  
able. When installing a forward facing  
child restraint system on the front pas-  
senger seat, move the seat as far back  
as possible even if the “AIR BAG OFF”  
indicator light is illuminated. Failure to  
do so may result in death or serious  
injury if the airbags deploy (inflate).  
149  
1-7. Safety information  
WARNING  
■When installing a child restraint system  
●When a booster seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is  
positioned across the center of the child's shoulder. The belt should be  
kept away from the child's neck, but not so that it could fall off the child's  
shoulder. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury in the event  
of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.  
●Ensure that the belt and plate are securely locked and the seat belt is not  
twisted.  
●Shake the child restraint system left and right, and forward and backward  
to ensure that it has been securely installed.  
●After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.  
●Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system  
manufacturer.  
■To correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchors  
When using the LATCH anchors, be sure that there are no foreign objects  
around the anchors and that the seat belt is not caught behind the child  
restraint. Make sure the child restraint system is securely attached, or it may  
cause death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in the event of  
sudden braking, sudden swerve or an accident.
