2007 HIGHLANDER from July ’06 Prod. (OM48682U)

Do not attach a microphone or any
other device or object around the

area where the curtain shield airbag

activates such as on the windshield
glass, side door glass, front and

rear pillars, roof side rail and assist

grips. When the curtain shield air-
bag inflates, the microphone or oth-

er device or object will be thrown

away with great force or the curtain
shield airbag may not activate cor-

rectly, resulting in death or serious

injury.

Do not hook a hanger, heavy or
sharp pointed objects on the coat

hook. If the curtain shield airbag

inflates, those items will be thrown
away with great force or the curtain

shield airbag may not activate cor-

rectly, resulting in death or serious
injury. When you hang clothes,

hang them on the coat hook direct-

ly.

Do not use seat accessories which

cover the parts where the side air-

bags inflate. Such accessories may
prevent the side airbags from acti-

vating correctly, causing death or
serious injury.

Do not modify or replace the seats

or upholstery of the seats with side
airbags. Such changes may prevent

the side airbag system from activat-

ing correctly, disable the system or
cause the side airbags to inflate ac-

cidentally, resulting in death or seri-

ous injury.

Do not disassemble or repair the
front and rear pillars and roof side

rail containing the curtain shield

airbags. Such changes may disable
the system or cause the curtain

shield airbags to inflate accidental-

ly, resulting in death or serious in-
jury.

Failure to follow these instructions

can result in death or serious injury.
Consult your Toyota dealer about any

repair and modification.
If you wish to modify your vehicle for

a person with a physical disability,

consult your Toyota dealer. It may
dangerously interfere with the SRS

side airbags and curtain shield air-

bags operation.
