2003 CELICA from Aug. ’02 Prod. (OM20809U)

In a severe side impact, the side airbag

sensor triggers the side airbag inflators.

At this time, a chemical reaction in the
inflators quickly fills the airbags with non

−

toxic gas to help restrain the lateral mo-

tion of the occupants.
When the airbags inflate, they produce a

fairly loud noise and release some smoke

and residue along with non

−

toxic gas. This

does not indicate a fire. This gas is nor-

mally harmless; however, for those who

have delicate skin, it may cause a minor
skin irritation. Be sure to wash off any

residue as soon as possible to prevent

any potential skin irritation.
Deployment of the airbags happens in a

fraction of a second, so the airbags must
inflate with considerable force. While the

system is designed to reduce serious inju-

ries, it may also cause minor burns or
abrasions and swelling.
Front seats may be hot for several min-
utes, but the airbags themselves will not

be hot. The airbags are designed to inflate

only once.

CAUTION

The SRS side airbag system is de-
signed only as a supplement to the

primary protection of the driver

side and front passenger side seat
belt systems. To ensure maximum

protection in an accident, the driver

and all passengers in the vehicle
must wear their seat belts properly.

Wearing a seat belt properly during

an accident reduces the chances of
death or serious injury or being

thrown out of the vehicle. For

instructions and precautions con-
cerning the seat belt system, see

“Seat belts” in this section.

Improperly seated and/or restrained
infants and children can be killed

or seriously injured by the deploy-

ing airbags. An infant or child who
is too small to use a seat belt

should be properly secured using a

child restraint system. Toyota
strongly recommends that all in-

fants and children be placed in the

rear seat of the vehicle and proper-
ly restrained. The rear seat is the

safest for infants and children. For

instructions concerning the installa-
tion of a child restraint system, see

“Child restraint” in this section.

Do not allow a child to lean his/her

head or any part of his/her body

against the front door or the area
of the seat from which the side air-

bag deploys even if he/she is

seated in the child restraint system.
It is dangerous if the side airbag

inflates, and the impact could cause

death or serious injury to the child.
For instructions concerning the

installation of a child restraint sys-

tem, see “Child restraint” in this
section.
