SAFETY AND EMERGENCY FEATURES
Parking brake
•The driver and front passenger airbag Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) is designed only as a supplement to the primary
protection of the seat belt systems of the driver and front
passenger. The front seat occupants are particularly susceptible
to injury if they do not wear their seat belts; when sudden
braking or a collision occurs, they may be thrown forward. To
obtain maximum protection in an accident, the driver and all
passengers in the vehicle should always wear their seat belts
when driving because serious injuries or death can result to
unrestrained occupants. For instructions and precautions
concerning the seat belt system, see “Seat belts” in the
Owner’s Manual.

To set Depress the pedal.
To release Depress the pedal again.
•Toyota strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system
on the rear seat that conforms to the size of the child.
According to accident statistics, a child is safer when properly
restrained in the rear seat than on the front seat.
•Never use a rear-facing child restraint system in the front seat
even if the front passenger occupant classification indicator
light is “OFF.” The force of the rapid inflation of the passenger
airbag can cause severe injury or death to a child.
Tire Pressure Warning System
The system is designed to provide warning when tire
pressure of any one of the tires (including the spare)
is reduced.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
•Unless it is unavoidable, do not install a forward-facing child
restraint system in the front seat even if the front passenger
occupant classification indicator light is “OFF.” If you must
install a forward-facing child restraint system in that the front
seat, move the seat as far back as possible.
•Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions
provided by the child restraint manufacturer and the system is
properly secured.
Airbag-Supplemental Restraint System
The Airbag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
front, side* and side curtain* airbags are designed to
help provide further protection for the driver and
outboard passenger in addition to the primary safety
protection provided by the seat belts.
•Make sure the front passenger occupant classification indicator
light indicates “ON” when using the seat belt extender for the
front passenger seat. If the indicator light indicates “OFF,”
disconnect the extender tongue from the seat belt buckle,
then reconnect the seat belt. Reconnect the seat belt extender
after making sure the indicator light indicates “ON.” If you use
the seat belt extender while the indicator light indicates
“OFF,” the front passenger airbag and side airbag on the front
passenger side may not activate correctly, which could cause
death or serious injury in the event of collision.
•If an adult sits in the front passenger seat, the occupant
classification indicator light should indicate “ON.” If the “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 “OFF” indicator still remains illuminated,
either ask the passenger to move to the rear seat, or if that is
not possible, move the front passenger seat fully rearward.
•The SRS side and side curtain airbags (optional) are designed to
deploy in certain types of severe side impact collisions. In all
other collisions, the side impact and side curtain airbags will
not deploy. For instructions and precautions, see your Owner’s
Manual.
Front passenger occupant classification system
Monitors the load on the front passenger seat, and
detects if the seat belt is fastened to determine
passenger occupancy and size of passenger, if any.
For the system to correctly determine conditions

-
Do not place heavy objects on the front passenger
seat.
Do not attach a seatback table to the front
passenger seatback.
Do not put weight on the front passenger seat by
putting your hands or feet on the front passenger
seatback from the rear passenger seat.
Please read the following caution, and refer to the
Owner’s Manual for more details.
•Do not lean against the side doors when the vehicle is in use.
The side and side curtain airbags inflate with considerable
speed and force. Death or serious injury could result.
•Do not modify, cover or replace the surface of the front seats.
Such changes could disable the system or prevent the airbags
from activating correctly, resulting in death or serious injury.
