SAFETY AND EMERGENCY FEATURES
Airbag-Supplemental Restraint System
The Airbag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
front and side* airbags are designed to provide
further protection for the driver and front passenger
in addition to the primary safety protection provided
by the seat belts.
Please read the following caution boxes, and refer
to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
*If installed
•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.
•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 in the front seat.
•Never use a rear-facing child restraint system in the front
seat. The force of the rapid inflation of the passenger
airbag can cause severe injury or death to a child.
•Unless it is unavoidable, do not install a forward-facing
child restraint system on the front seat. If you must install
a forward-facing child restraint system on 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.
•The SRS side airbags (optional) are designed to deploy in
severe side impact collisions. In all other collisions, the
side airbags will not deploy. For instructions and
precautions, see your Owner’s Manual.
•Do not lean against the side doors when the vehicle is in
use. The side 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.
