NOTICE
D
The smoke, residue and non-toxic gas
released when airbags inflate may re-
main inside the vehicle for some time,
causing some irritation to the eyes,
skin or breathing.
D Be sure to wash off any residue with
soap and water as soon as possible
to prevent any potential skin irrita-
tion.
D
If you can safely exit from the vehicle,
you should do so immediately.
CAUTION
D
The force and speed of a deploying
airbag may cause injuries to the body,
particularly to the face, chest, arms
and hands, usually in the nature of
minor burns, abrasions and/or swell-
ing.
D
The front seats, parts of the front and
rear pillars and the roof side rail may
be hot for several minutes after de-
ployment of the airbag, so don’t
touch! The airbags themselves will
not be hot.
CAUTION
SRS side airbags and curtain shield air-
bags inflate with considerable force. To
reduce the possibility of death or seri-
ous injury when they inflate, the driver,
front passenger and rear outside pas-
sengers must:
D
Wear their seatbelts properly.
D
Remain properly seated with their
backs upright and against the seats
at all times.
D
The following pages contain more
specific directions regarding precau-
tions that should be taken in relation
to the inflation of SRS airbags. Toyota
recommends you consider these
pages carefully.
CAUTION
D
Do not lean against the door when the
vehicle is in use. The side airbag and
curtain shield airbag could inflate
with considerable speed and force
which could result in death or serious
injury.
D
To minimise the risk of death or seri-
ous injury occurring during the infla-
tion of airbags, sit up straight and well
back in the seat. Ensure your weight
is distributed evenly in the seat. Do
not apply excessive weight to the
outer side of the seats with a side air-
bag, and to the front pillar, rear pillar
and roof side rail with a curtain shield
airbag.
