CAUTION
■
Front passenger occupant classification system precautions
●
Do not recline the front passenger seatback so far that it touches a second
seat. This may cause the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light to be illuminated,
which indicates that the passenger’s airbags will not deploy in the event of
a severe accident. If the seatback touches the second seat, return the
seatback to a position where it does not touch the second seat. Keep the
front passenger seatback as upright as possible when the vehicle is mov-
ing. Reclining the seatback excessively may lessen the effectiveness of
the seat belt system.
●
If an adult sits in the front passenger seat, the “AIR BAG ON” indicator
light is illuminated. If the “AIR BAG 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 “AIR BAG OFF” indicator still
remain illuminated, either ask the passenger to move to the rear seat, or if
that is not possible, move the front passenger seat fully rearward.
●
When it is unavoidable to install the forward-facing child restraint system
on the front passenger seat, install the child restraint system on the front
passenger seat in the proper order. (

●
Do not modify or remove the front seat.
●
Do not kick the front passenger seat or subject it to severe impact. Other-
wise, the SRS warning light may come on to indicate a malfunction in the
detection system. In this case, contact your Toyota dealer immediately.
●
Child restraint systems installed on the rear seat should not contact the
front seatbacks.
●
Do not use a seat accessory, such as a cushion or seat cover, that covers
the seat cushion surface.
●
Do not modify or replace the upholstery of the front seat.
