SAFETY AND EMERGENCY FEATURES
•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 on the
front seat.
•Never use a rear-facing child restraint system in the
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.
front
•Unless it is unavoidable, do not install a forward-facing
child restraint system on 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
restraint
manufacturer and the system is properly secured.
•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.
•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.
