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.

◆ SRS front airbags

1

SRS driver airbag/front passenger airbag

Can help protect the head and chest of the driver and front pas-

senger from impact with interior components

◆ SRS side airbags and SRS curtain shield airbags

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.

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.

1

●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 sev-

eral ways:

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

als 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.

WARNING

■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. 52)

●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 without SRS curtain shield air-

bags: Do not lean against the front door.

●Vehicles with SRS curtain shield air-

bags: Do not lean against the door, the

roof side rail or the front, side and rear

pillars.

41

1-1. For safe use

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, steering wheel pad.

These items can become projectiles

when the SRS driver and front passen-

ger airbags deploy.

●Vehicles without SRS curtain shield air-

bags: Do not attach anything to areas

such as a door, windshield and side

window.

●Vehicles with SRS curtain shield air-

bags: Do not attach anything to areas

such as a door, windshield, side win-

dow, front or rear pillar and roof side

rail. (Except for the speed limit label

P. 431)

●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.

Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.

42

1-1. For safe use

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 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.

●If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel

pad, and front and rear pillar garnishes (vehicles with SRS curtain shield

airbags), are damaged or cracked, have them replaced by any authorized

Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

■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 retailer or Toyota authorized

repairer, or any reliable repairer. 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 or

winches

●Modifications to the vehicle’s suspension system

●Installation of electronic devices such as mobile two-way radios (RF-trans-

mitter) and CD players

43

■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)

●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising, etc., may be sustained from SRS airbags,

due to the extremely high speed deployment (inflation) by hot gases.

●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.

1

●Vehicles with SRS curtain shield airbags: Parts of the airbag module (steer-

ing 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.

■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 approximately

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 pre-

tensioners will activate.

44

1-1. For safe use

■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side airbags and SRS curtain

shield airbags [if equipped])

●The SRS side airbags and SRS curtain shield airbags (if equipped) 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 approxi-

mately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehicle colliding with the vehicle cabin from a

direction perpendicular to the vehicle orientation at an approximate speed of

20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph]).

●Both SRS curtain shield airbags (if equipped) may also deploy in the event

of a severe frontal collision.

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

a collision

The SRS front airbags and SRS curtain shield airbags (if equipped) 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

45

1-1. For safe use

■Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS side air-

bags and SRS curtain shield airbags [if equipped])

The SRS side airbags and SRS curtain shield airbags (if equipped) 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.

●Collision from the side to the vehicle

body other than the passenger compart-

ment

1

●Collision from the side at an angle

The SRS side airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle 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

The SRS curtain shield airbags (if equipped) do not generally inflate if the

vehicle is involved in a rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-

speed side or low-speed frontal collision.

●Collision from the rear

●Vehicle rollover

■When to contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized

repairer, or any reliable repairer

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

tact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-

able repairer 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.

●A portion of a door or its surrounding

area is damaged or deformed, or the

vehicle was involved in an accident that

was not severe enough to cause the

SRS side airbags and SRS curtain

shield airbags (if equipped) to inflate.

●The pad section of the steering wheel or

dashboard near the front passenger air-

bag is scratched, cracked, or otherwise

damaged.

47

1-1. For safe use

●The surface of the seats with the SRS

side airbag is scratched, cracked, or oth-

erwise damaged.

●Vehicles with SRS curtain shield air-

bags: The portion of the front pillars, rear

pillars or roof side rail garnishes (pad-

ding) containing the SRS curtain shield

airbags inside is scratched, cracked, or

otherwise damaged.
