1-7. Safety information

CAUTION

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 death or serious injury. 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.

78

1-7. Safety information

SRS airbags

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.

1-7. Safety information

The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The

SRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. As

the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the

airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occu-

pants.

1

If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)

 Bruising and slight abrasions may result from contact with a deploying

(inflating) SRS airbag.

 A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.

 Vehicles without SRS curtain shield airbags: Parts of the airbag module

(steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats

may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.

 Vehicles with SRS curtain shield airbags: 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 sev-

eral minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.

 The windshield may crack.

SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags)

 The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds

the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approxi-

mately 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that

does not move or deform).

However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher in the following

situations:

• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole,

which can move or deform on impact

• If the vehicle is involved in an underride collision, such as a collision in

which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a

truck

 Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt

pretensioners will activate.

81

1-7. Safety information

SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield air-

bags [if equipped])

The SRS side and curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of an impact

that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to the

impact force produced by an approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehicle collid-

ing with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orien-

tation at an approximate speed of 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph]).

Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other

than a collision

The SRS front airbags may also deploy if a serious impact occurs to the

underside of your vehicle. Some examples are shown in the illustration.

 Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or

hard surface

 Falling into or jumping over a deep hole

 Landing hard or falling

Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS front air-

bags)

The SRS front airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle is involved in a

side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed frontal

collision. But, whenever a collision of any type causes sufficient forward

deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front airbags may occur.

 Collision from the side

 Collision from the rear

 Vehicle rollover

82

1-7. Safety information

Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags

(SRS side and curtain shield airbags [if equipped])

The SRS side and curtain shield airbags may not activate if the vehicle is

subjected to a collision from the side at certain angles, or a collision to the

side of the vehicle body other than the passenger compartment.

1

 Collision from the side to the vehicle

body other than the passenger com-

partment

 Collision from the side at an angle

The SRS side and curtain shield airbags do not generally inflate if the vehi-

cle is involved in a frontal or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in

a low-speed side collision.

 Collision from the front

 Collision from the rear

 Vehicle rollover

83

1-7. Safety information

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

duly qualified and equipped professional

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

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

equipped professional as soon as possible.

 Any of the SRS airbags have been inflated.

 The front of the vehicle is damaged or

deformed, or was involved in an acci-

dent that was not severe enough to

cause the SRS front airbags to inflate.

 Vehicles with SRS side and curtain

shield airbags: 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 and curtain shield airbags to

inflate.

 The pad section of the steering wheel

or dashboard near the front passenger

airbag is scratched, cracked, or other-

wise damaged.

 Vehicles with SRS side airbags: The

surface of the seats with the side airbag

is scratched, cracked, or otherwise

damaged.

84

1-7. Safety information

 Vehicles with SRS curtain shield air-

bags: The portion of the front pillars,

rear pillars or roof side rail garnishes

(padding) containing the curtain shield

airbags is inside scratched, cracked, or

otherwise damaged.

1

CAUTION

SRS airbag precautions

Observe the following precautions regarding the SRS airbags.

Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.

 The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts

properly.

The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts.

 The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause

death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag.

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

of inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10 in.) from your driver airbag pro-

vides you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured from the

center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than 250

mm (10 in.) away now, you can change your driving position in several

ways:

• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the

pedals comfortably.

• Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle designs vary,

many drivers can achieve the 250 mm (10 in.) distance, even with the

driver seat all the way forward, simply by reclining the back of the seat

somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to see the

road, raise yourself by using a firm, non-slippery cushion, or raise the

seat if your vehicle has that feature.

• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the air-

bag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.

The seat should be adjusted as recommended above, while still maintain-

ing control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instru-

ment panel controls.

85

1-7. Safety information

CAUTION

SRS airbag precautions

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

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

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. 92)

 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.

 Vehicles with SRS side airbags: Do not

lean against the front door.

 Vehicles with SRS side and curtain

shield airbags: Do not lean against the

door, the roof side rail or the front, side

and rear pillars.

86

1-7. Safety information

CAUTION

SRS airbag precautions

 Vehicles with SRS side airbags: Do not

1

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 the SRS driver and front passen-

ger airbags deploy.

 Vehicles with SRS side airbags: Do not

attach anything to areas such as a

door, windshield glass and side door

glass.

 Vehicles with SRS side and curtain

shield airbags: Do not attach anything

to areas such as a door, windshield

glass, side door glass, front or rear pil-

lar and roof side rail.

87

1-7. Safety information

CAUTION

SRS airbag precautions

 On vehicles with SRS side airbags, 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 air-

bags from activating correctly, disable the system or cause the side air-

bags 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.

Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.

 Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS air-

bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.

 If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbags have deployed, open a

door or window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to do

so. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation.

 On vehicles with SRS side airbags, if the areas where the SRS airbags are

stored, such as the steering wheel pad, are damaged or cracked, have

them replaced by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly

qualified and equipped professional.

 On vehicles with SRS curtain shield airbags, if the areas where the SRS

airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel pad and front and rear pillar

garnishes, are damaged or cracked, have them replaced by any

authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and

equipped professional.

88

1-7. Safety information

CAUTION

Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components

Do not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modifications

without consulting any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly

qualified and equipped professional. The SRS airbags may malfunction or

deploy (inflate) accidentally, causing death or serious injury.

1

 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 snow plows, winches, etc. to the front grille (bull bars, or

kangaroo bar etc.)

“ON” position).

CAUTION

When installing a child restraint system

For safety reasons, always install a child restraint system in a rear seat. In

the event that the rear seat cannot be used, the front seat can be used as

long as the airbag manual on-off system is set to “OFF”.

If the airbag manual on-off system is left “ON”, the strong impact of the air-

bag deployment (inflation) may cause serious injury or even death.

When a child restraint system is not installed on the front passenger

seat

Ensure that the airbag manual on-off system is set to “ON”.

If it is left “OFF”, the airbag may not deploy in the event of an accident, which

may result in serious injury or even death.

91

1-7. Safety information

Child restraint systems

Toyota strongly urges 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 on the front passenger seat.

 Choose a child restraint system that suits your vehicle and is

appropriate to the age and size of the child.

 For installation details, follow the instructions provided with the

child restraint system.

General installation instructions are provided in this manual.

(P. 103)

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

reside, please contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or

another duly qualified and equipped professional for the child

restraint system installation.

 Toyota recommends that you use a child restraint system which

conforms to the regulation ECE No.44.

Types of child restraints

99

1-7. Safety information

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

When you have to use a child restraint

system on the front passenger seat,

adjust the following:

 The seatback to the most upright posi-

tion

 The seat as far back as possible

Selecting an appropriate child restraint system

 Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child

becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.

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

seat and use the vehicle’s seat belt. (P. 59)

CAUTION

Using a child restraint system

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

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

event of sudden braking or an accident).

Child restraint precautions

 For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child

must be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system

depending on the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is

not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be

crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle’s interior.

 Toyota strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that con-

forms to the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to acci-

dent statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat

than in the front seat.

 Never use a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat

when the airbag manual on-off switch is on. (P. 90)

In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front pas-

senger airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child.

100

1-7. Safety information

CAUTION

Child restraint precautions

 A forward-facing child restraint system may be installed on the front pas-

senger seat only when it is unavoidable. A child restraint system that

requires a top tether strap should not be used in the front passenger seat

since there is no top tether strap anchor for the front passenger seat.

Adjust the seatback as upright as possible and always move the seat as

far back as possible because the front passenger airbag could inflate with

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

ously injured.

1

 On vehicles with SRS side airbags, do not allow the child to lean his/her

head or any part of his/her body against the door or the area of the seat

from which the side airbags deploy even if the child is seated in the child

restraint system. It is dangerous if the side airbags inflate, and the impact

could cause death or serious injury to the child.

 On vehicles with SRS side and curtain shield airbags, do not allow the

child to lean his/her head or any part of his/her body against the door or

the area of the seat, front and rear pillars or roof side rails from which the

SRS side 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 SRS curtain shield airbags inflate, and the impact could cause death

or serious injury to the child.

 Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by

the child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If

it is not secured properly, it may cause death or serious injury to the child

in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or an accident.

When children are in the vehicle

Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes

twisted around a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries

that could result in death.

If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used

to cut the belt.

101

1-7. Safety information

CAUTION

When the child restraint system is not in use

 Keep the child restraint system properly secured on the seat even if it is

not in use. Do not store the child restraint system unsecured in the pas-

senger compartment.

 If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from the

vehicle or store it securely in the luggage compartment. This will prevent it

from injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or

accident.

If the child restraint system is not correctly fixed in place, the child or other

passengers may be seriously 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 (left-hand drive vehicles)

or the left-hand rear seat (right-hand

drive vehicles).

 Adjust the front passenger seat so that

it does not interfere with the child

restraint system.

 When installing a forward-facing child

restraint system on the front passenger

seat, move the seat as far back as pos-

sible.

Failure to do so may result in death or

serious injury if the airbags deploy

(inflate).

please contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly

qualified and equipped professional for the child restraint system installa-

tion.

 When a junior 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.

 Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system

manufacturer.

To correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchors (vehicles

with split rear seats)

When using the ISOFIX rigid anchors, be sure that there are no foreign

objects around the anchors and that the seat belt is not caught behind the

child restraint system. Make sure the child restraint system is securely

attached, or it may cause death or serious injury to the child or other passen-

gers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.
