Front passenger occupant classification system  
Your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger occupant  
classification system. This system detects the conditions of  
the front passenger seat and activates or deactivates the  
front passenger airbag and front passenger knee airbag.

WARNING  
●Make sure the “AIR BAG OFF”  
indicator light is not illuminated  
when using the seat belt  
extender for the front passenger  
seat. If the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-  
cator light is illuminated, discon-  
nect the extender tongue from  
the seat belt buckle, and recon-  
nect the seat belt. Reconnect  
the seat belt extender after  
making sure the “AIR BAG ON”  
indicator light is illuminated. If  
you use the seat belt extender  
while the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-  
cator light is illuminated, the  
SRS airbags for the front pas-  
senger will not activate, which  
could cause death or serious  
injury in the event of a collision.  
touches a rear seat. This may  
cause the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-  
cator light to be illuminated,  
which indicates that the SRS  
airbags for the front passenger  
will not activate in the event of a  
severe accident. If the seatback  
touches the rear seat, return the  
seatback to a position where it  
does not touch the rear seat.  
Keep the front passenger seat-  
back as upright as possible  
when the vehicle is moving.  
Reclining the seatback exces-  
sively may lessen the effective-  
ness of the seat belt system.

●If an adult sits in the front pas-  
senger seat, the “AIR BAG ON”  
indicator light is illuminated. If  
the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator is  
illuminated, ask the passenger  
to sit up straight, well back in  
the seat, feet on the floor, and  
with the seat belt worn correctly.  
If the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator  
still remains illuminated, either  
ask the passenger to move to  
the rear seat, or if that is not  
possible, move the front pas-  
senger seat fully rearward.  
●Do not apply a heavy load to the  
front passenger seat or equip-  
ment (e.g. seatback pocket).  
●Do not put weight on the front  
passenger seat by putting your  
hands or feet on the front pas-  
senger seat seatback from the  
rear passenger seat.  
●Do not let a rear passenger lift  
the front passenger seat with  
their feet or press on the seat-  
back with their legs.  
●When it is unavoidable to install  
a forward-facing child restraint  
system on the front passenger  
seat, install the child restraint  
system on the front passenger  
seat in the proper order.  
●Do not put objects under the  
front passenger seat.  
(P.52)  
●Do not modify or remove the  
front seats.

WARNING  
●Do not kick the front passenger  
seat or subject it to severe  
impact. Otherwise, the SRS  
warning light may come on to  
indicate a malfunction of the  
front passenger occupant clas-  
sification system. In this case,  
contact your Toyota dealer  
immediately.  
●Child restraint systems installed  
on the rear seat should not con-  
tact the front seatbacks.  
●Do not use a seat accessory,  
such as a cushion and seat  
cover, that covers the seat  
cushion surface.  
●Do not modify or replace the  
upholstery of the front seat.  
●Adjust the front passenger seat  
so that the head restraint does  
not touch the ceiling. If the head  
restraint is left in contact with  
the ceiling, the system may not  
detect the front passenger prop-  
erly, leading to improper opera-  
tion of the airbags.
