seat tracks and stop the seat from

locking in place. This may lead to

an accident and the adjustment

mechanism may also be damaged.

●

Always observe the legal speed

limit when driving on public roads.

When driving over long distances,

take regular breaks before you start

to feel tired.

Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while

driving, do not force yourself to con-

tinue driving and take a break

immediately.

Correct use of the seat belts

Make sure that all occupants are

wearing their seat belts before driv-

ing the vehicle. (P.29)

Make sure that all occupants

are wearing their seat belts

before driving the vehicle.

WARNING

1

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.

Obtain medical advice and wear the

^{seat belt in the proper way. (}P.30)

●

Always wear a seat belt properly.

Women who are pregnant should

position the lap belt as low as possi-

ble over the hips in the same manner

as other occupants, extending the

shoulder belt completely over the

shoulder and avoiding belt contact

with the rounding of the abdominal

area.

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.

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 collision.

To achieve a proper seating posi-

tion, 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.

Seat belt guide

The pretensioners help the seat

belts to quickly restrain the occu-

pants by retracting the seat belts

when the vehicle is subjected to

certain types of severe frontal colli-

sion.

The front seat belt pretensioners also

activate when the vehicle is subjected

to certain types of severe side collision.

When fastening a front seat belt,

ensure that it is passed through the

seat belt guide. Passing the seat

belt through the guide enables the

seat belt to be easily extended.

The pretensioners do not activate in the

event of a minor frontal impact, a minor

side impact, a rear impact or a vehicle

rollover.

When you get into or out of the rear

seats, release the seat belt from the

seat belt guide.

■

Replacing the belt after the

pretensioner has been activated

If the vehicle is involved in multiple colli-

sions, the pretensioner will activate for

the first collision, but will not activate for

the second or subsequent collisions.

WARNING

■

●

When using the seat belt guide

Always make sure that the belt is

not twisted, and runs freely through

the guide.

WARNING

Regardless of whether the guide is

used or not, always secure the seat

belt guide button.

If the pretensioner has activated, the

SRS warning light will come on. In

that case, the seat belt cannot be

used again and must be replaced at

any authorized Toyota retailer or

Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-

able repairer.

SRS airbags

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) name is used because the

airbag system supplements the vehicle’s seatbelts.

This vehicle is equipped with a supplemental restraint system which

consists of seven airbags.

The configurations are as follows.

 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 passengers)

 Knee airbag for driver

These SRS airbags are designed only as a supplement to the pri-

mary protection provided by the seatbelt.

The system also controls seatbelt pretensioners. For operation

instructions and precautions concerning the seatbelt pretensioner,

refer to P.31.

General Precautions regarding

SRS Airbag System

To obtain maximum protection in

the event of an accident, the driver

and all passengers must always

wear seatbelts when in the vehicle.

The SRS airbags are designed only

to be a supplement to the primary

protection provided by the seatbelt.

They do not eliminate the need to

fasten seatbelts. In combination

with the seatbelts, they offer the

best combined protection in case of

a serious accident.

■

SRS Airbag System Servicing

In the following cases, we recommend

that you contact your Toyota dealer as

soon as possible.

●

The front part of the vehicle was

involved in an accident in which the

SRS frontal airbags did not deploy.

●

The pad of the steering wheel, the

cover over the front passenger’s fron-

tal airbag, or either roof side (from the

front pillar to a point over the rear

seat) is scratched, cracked, or other-

wise damaged.

Not wearing a seatbelt increases the

chance of severe injury or death in a

crash even when the vehicle has the

SRS airbags.

For instructions and precautions con-

cerning the seatbelt system, refer to

P.29.

●

The center pillar, rear wheel house or

rear sub frame, or an area near these

parts, was involved in an accident in

which the SRS side airbag and SRS

curtain shield airbag did not deploy.

●

The SRS side airbag and SRS cur-

tain shield airbag are designed only

to be a supplement to the primary

protection provided by the seatbelt.

They do not eliminate the need to

fasten seatbelts. It is also important

to wear your seatbelt to help avoid

injuries that can result when an

occupant is not seated in a proper

upright position.

The fabric or leather of either front

seatback is cut, frayed, or otherwise

damaged.

●

■

The rear part of the vehicle was

involved in an accident.

When you sell your vehicle

When you sell your vehicle, we urge you

to inform the buyer that the vehicle is

equipped with SRS airbags. Also, notify

the buyer of the applicable section in

this Owner’s Manual.

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

36

●

Do not sit or lean unnecessarily

close to the door, windows or pillars

on either side. Also, do not put your

head, arms or hands out of the win-

dow. The curtain shield airbags on

both sides of the cabin are stored in

the roof side (between the front pil-

lar and a point over the rear seat),

and they provide protection by

deploying rapidly (faster than the

blink of an eye) in the event of a

side impact or an offset frontal colli-

sion.

●

The SRS airbags deploy with con-

siderable speed and force. Occu-

pants who are out of the proper

position when the SRS airbags

deploy could suffer very serious

injuries. Because the SRS airbags

need enough space for deploy-

ment, the driver should always sit

upright and well back in the seat as

far from the steering wheel as prac-

tical 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 sit or lean unnecessarily

close to the SRS airbag. Because

the SRS airbag deploys with con-

^{siderable speed} faster than the

^{blink of an eye} and force to pro-

tect 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

seatbelt to help avoid injuries that

can result when the SRS airbag

contacts an occupant not in the

proper position such as one thrown

forward during preaccident braking.

Even when properly positioned,

there remains a possibility that an

occupant may suffer minor injury

such as abrasions and bruises to

the face or arms because of the

SRS airbag deployment force.

●

Do not sit or lean unnecessarily

close to either door. The SRS side

airbags are stored in both front seat

seatbacks next to the door, and

they provide protection by deploy-

ing rapidly (faster than the blink of

an eye) in the event of a side

impact collision. However, the force

of SRS side airbag deployment

may cause injuries if the head or

other parts of the body are too close

to the SRS side airbag.

●

Do not rest your arm on either door

or its internal trim. You could be

injured in the event of SRS side

airbag deployment.

1-1. For safe use

37

ꢀ If the SRS frontal airbag deploys,

these objects could be propelled

inside the vehicle, causing injury.

WARNING

●

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 pro-

pelled inside the vehicle and cause

injury.

1

■

●

If the SRS airbag deploys

When the SRS airbag deploys,

some smoke will be released. This

smoke could cause breathing prob-

lems for people with a history of

asthma or other breathing trouble. If

you or your passengers have

breathing problems after SRS

airbag deploys, get fresh air

promptly.

●

Do not put any objects under the

driver’s side of the instrument

panel. If the SRS knee airbag

deploys, those objects could inter-

fere with its proper operation and

could be propelled inside the vehi-

cle and cause injury.

●

A deploying SRS airbag releases

hot gas. Occupants could get

burned if they come into direct con-

tact with the hot gas.

■

●

General Precautions regarding

SRS Airbag System for Accesso-

ries and Any Objects

●

Do not attach accessories to the

windshield, or fit an extra-wide mir-

ror over the inside rear view mirror.

If the SRS airbag deploys, those

objects could become projectiles

that could seriously injure vehicle

occupants.

Do not put any objects (including

straps or cords) over the steering

wheel pad, column cover, or dash-

board.

ꢀ These objects could be entangled

with the steering wheel, preventing

the SRS frontal airbag, etc. from

operating properly.

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

38

●

Do not put any kind of cover or

clothes or other objects over either

front seatback and do not attach

labels or stickers to the front seat

surface on or near the SRS side

airbag. They could prevent proper

deployment of the SRS side airbag,

reducing protection available to the

front seat’s occupant.

●

Do not attach accessories to the

door trim or near either SRS side

airbags and do not place objects

near the SRS side airbags. In the

event of SRS side airbag deploy-

ment, they could be propelled dan-

gerously toward the vehicle’s

occupants and cause injuries.

●

Do not install a seat cover unless it

is a genuine Toyota seat cover

exclusively designed for use with

the SRS airbag. Even when using a

genuine Toyota seat cover, the SRS

side airbag system may not func-

tion normally if the seat cover is not

installed correctly.

●

Do not attach a hands-free micro-

phone or any other accessory to a

front pillar, a center pillar, a rear pil-

lar, the windshield, a side window,

or any other cabin surface that

would be near a deploying SRS

curtain shield airbag. A hands-free

microphone or other accessory in

such a location could be propelled

through the cabin with great force

by the curtain shield airbag, or it

could prevent correct deployment of

the curtain shield airbag. In either

case, the result could be serious

injuries.

●

Never hang or place coat hangers

or other hard or pointed objects

near the side windows. If such

items are present when the SRS

curtain shield airbags deploy, they

could be thrown through the pas-

senger compartment and cause

serious injuries. They could also

prevent proper operation of the

SRS curtain shield airbags.

NEVER INSTALL A CHILD SEAT

IN THE FRONT SEAT. DOING SO

RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR

DEATH TO THE CHILD BY PLAC-

ING THE CHILD’S HEAD TOO

CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG.

WARNING

■

●

General Precautions regarding

SRS Airbag System and Children

Put children in the REAR seat prop-

erly restrained at all times in a child

restraint device or in a seatbelt,

whichever is appropriate for the

child’s age, height and weight. The

SRS airbag deploys with considera-

ble speed and force and can injure

or even kill children, especially if

they are not restrained or improp-

erly restrained. Because children

are lighter and weaker than adults,

their risk of being injured from

deployment is greater.

1

●

Never allow a child to stand up or

kneel on the front passenger’s seat.

The SRS airbag deploys with con-

siderable force and can injure or

even kill the child.

Secure ALL types of child restraint

devices (including forward facing

child seats) in the REAR seats at all

times.

According to accident statistics,

children are safer when properly

restrained in the rear seating posi-

tions than in the front seating posi-

tions.

For instructions and precautions

concerning the child restraint sys-

tem, refer to P.56.

●

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.

●

Never allow a child to do the follow-

ing.

Precautions against Vehicle

Modification

ꢀ Put his/her head, arms or other

parts of the body out of the window

To avoid accidental activation of the

system or rendering the system inop-

erative, which may result in serious

injury, no modifications should be

made to any components or wiring of

the SRS airbag system.

This includes the following modifica-

tions.

●

Installation of custom steering

wheels

●

Attachment of additional trim mate-

rials to the dashboard

●

Installation of custom seats

Replacement of seat fabric or

leather

●

Installation of additional fabric or

leather on the front seat

In the event of an accident, the force

of SRS side airbag and/or SRS cur-

tain shield airbag deployment could

injure the child seriously because

his/her head, arms or other parts of

the body are too close to the SRS

side airbag and/or SRS curtain shield

airbag.

Attachment of a hands-free micro-

phone or any other accessory to a

front pillar, a center pillar, a rear pil-

lar, the windshield, a side window,

an assist grip, or any other cabin

The SRS frontal airbag (and also

the knee airbag) is designed to

deploy in the event of an accident

involving a moderate to severe

frontal collision. It is not designed to

deploy in most lesser frontal

impacts because the necessary

protection can be achieved by the

seatbelt alone. Also, it is not

designed to deploy in most side or

rear impacts or in most roll-over

accidents because deployment of

the SRS frontal airbag would not

help the occupant in those situa-

tions.

If the front sub sensors located on

both the right and left sides at the

front of the vehicle and the impact

sensors in the airbag control mod-

ule detect a certain predetermined

amount of force during a frontal col-

lision, the control module sends

signals to the frontal airbag mod-

ules instructing them to inflate the

SRS frontal airbags. Then both

airbag modules produce gas, which

instantly inflates driver’s and pas-

senger’s SRS frontal airbags. The

SRS knee airbag is also inflated in

The SRS airbag is designed to

function on a one-time-only basis.

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 visi-

ble damage done to the vehicle

itself.

■

Example of the type of acci-

dent

 When is the SRS frontal airbag

unlikely to deploy?

 When will the SRS frontal airbag

most likely deploy?

There are many types of collisions

which might not necessarily require

SRS frontal airbag deployment. In the

event of accidents like those illustrated,

the SRS frontal airbag may not deploy

depending on the level of accident

forces involved.

A head-on collision against a thick con-

crete wall at a vehicle speed of 20 to 30

km/h (12 to 19 mph) or higher activates

the SRS frontal airbag. The SRS frontal

airbag will also be activated when the

vehicle is exposed to a frontal impact

similar in fashion and magnitude to the

collision described above.

ꢀ The vehicle strikes an object, such as

a telephone pole or sign pole.

ꢀ The vehicle slides under the load bed

of a truck.

 At what other times might the

SRS frontal airbag deploy?

The SRS frontal airbag may be acti-

vated 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).

ꢀ The vehicle sustains an oblique offset

ꢀ If the vehicle rolls onto its side or roof

ꢀ The vehicle sustains an offset frontal

collision.

ꢀ If the vehicle is involved in a

low-speed frontal collision

ꢀ The vehicle strikes an object that can

move or deform, such as a parked

vehicle.

In an accident where the vehicle is

impacted more than once, the SRS

frontal airbag deploys only once on

the first impact.

 When will the SRS frontal airbag

not deploy?

Example: In the case of a double

collision, first with another vehicle,

then against a concrete wall in

immediate succession, once the

SRS frontal airbag is activated on

the first impact, it will not be acti-

When using a child restraint sys-

tem

1

NEVER INSTALL A CHILD SEAT IN

THE FRONT 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.

If the OFF indicator still remains illumi-

nated while the ON indicator remains

off, ask the occupant to move to the rear

seat. We recommend that you immedi-

ately contact your Toyota dealer for an

inspection.

■

If the seatbelt buckle switch and/or

front passenger’s occupant detec-

tion system have failed

If the seatbelt buckle switch and/or front

passenger’s occupant detection system

have failed, the SRS warning light will

have the system inspected by your

Toyota dealer immediately if the SRS

warning light illuminates.

■

General Precautions regarding

front passenger’s SRS frontal

airbag

■

When to contact your Toyota dealer

or another service center

When the front passenger’s seat is

occupied by an adult, do not place

anything (shoes, umbrella, etc.) under

the front passenger’s seat. Doing so

may deactivate the front passenger’s

SRS frontal airbag despite the fact

that the seat is occupied by an adult.

This may result in personal injury.

If your vehicle has sustained impact, this

may affect the proper function of the

front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag

system. We recommend that you have

your vehicle inspected at your Toyota

dealer. Do not use the front passenger’s

seat while driving the vehicle to your

Toyota dealer or another service center.

●

Do not allow the rear seat occupant

to lift the front passenger's seat

cushion using his/her feet.

■

System operation

The SRS airbags can function only

when the engine switch is in the ON.

●

Do not squeeze any article between

the front passenger's seat and side

trim/pillar, door or center console

box. This may lift the seat cushion.

When SRS airbags 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.

●

Do not spill liquid on the front pas-

senger’s seat. If liquid is spilled,

wipe it off immediately.

■

When a small adult is seated in

the front passenger’s seat

●

Do not remove or disassemble the

front passenger’s seat.

When a small adult is seated in the

front passenger’s seat, the SRS fron-

tal airbag system may or may not acti-

vate the front passenger’s SRS

frontal airbag depending on the occu-

pant’s seating posture. If the OFF

indicator remains illuminated while

the ON indicator turns off when a

small adult is seated in the front pas-

senger's seat, refer to P.46.

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 pas-

senger’s seat.

Do not place any objects (books,

etc.) around the front passenger’s

seat.

■

General Precautions regarding

occupant detection system

Do not kick the front passenger seat

or subject it to severe impact. Other-

wise, the SRS warning light may illu-

minate to indicate a malfunction of the

front passenger occupant detection

system. In this case, we recommend

that you contact your Toyota dealer

immediately.

Do not use the front passenger’s

seat with the head restraint

removed.

Do not leave any articles on the

front passenger’s seat or the

seatbelt tongue and buckle

engaged when you leave your vehi-

cle.

■

After deployment

Do not touch the SRS airbag system

components with bare hands right

after deployment. Doing so can cause

burns because the components can

be very hot as a result of deployment.

●

Do not put sharp object(s) on the

seat or pierce the seat upholstery.

Do not place a magnet near the

seatbelt buckle and the seatbelt

retractor.

●

Do not use front seats with their for-

ward-backward position adjuster

and seatback adjuster not being

locked into place securely. If any of

them are not locked securely, adjust

them again. For adjusting proce-

dure, refer to P.117.

The SRS side airbag and SRS cur-

tain shield airbag deploy even

when no one occupies the seat on

the side on which an impact is

applied.

The SRS side airbag and SRS cur-

tain shield airbag are designed to

deploy in the event of an accident

involving a moderate to severe side

impact collision. They are not

designed to deploy in most lesser

side impacts. 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 driver’s and front passenger’s

SRS side airbags and SRS curtain

shield airbags deploy inde-

pendently of each other since each

has its own impact sensor. There

fore, they may not both deploy in

the same accident. Also, the SRS

side airbag and SRS curtain shield

airbag deploy independently of the

driver’s and front passenger’s SRS

frontal airbags in the steering wheel

and instrument panel.

Each SRS side airbag and SRS

curtain shield airbag are designed

to function on a onetime- only

basis.

An impact sensor, which senses

impact force, is located in each of

the following locations.
