Safety information
BEFORE DRIVING
The front airbags then quickly deflate, so there is no obstruction of the driver’s vision
should it be necessary to continue driving.
SRS side and curtain shield airbags
In response to a severe side impact, the SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags work
with the seatbelts.
The SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag on the passenger side are activated even
with no passenger in the front seat or rear outside seat. The curtain shield airbags may
activate even when the side airbags are not activated.
In a severe side impact, the side impact sensors trigger the side airbag inflators and/or the
curtain shield airbag inflators on that side of the vehicle.
At this time a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas
to help restrain the lateral motion of the occupants.
When the airbags inflate, they produce a loud noise and release some smoke and residue
along with non-toxic gas. This does not indicate a fire.
CAUTION
• Always wear your seatbelt correctly.
• The SRS front airbag system is designed only to supplement the primary protection
of the driver and front passenger seatbelt systems.
• The SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag system is designed to supplement
the seatbelt systems of the driver, front passenger and rear outside passenger.
• The driver and front passenger can be killed or seriously injured by the inflating
airbags or thrown out of the vehicle if they do not wear seatbelts correctly. For
instructions and precautions concerning the seatbelt system refer to “Seatbelts” on
page 31 and to “Front seats” on page 23.
• During sudden braking, immediately before a collision, an unrestrained driver or
front passenger can move forward into direct contact with, or close proximity to,
the airbag which may then deploy during the collision. This can result in death or
serious injury.
• No-one should lean against areas from which SRS airbags deploy: the doors, the
steering wheel, the rear of the driver’s and front passenger seats, rear pillar or roof
side rail, as sudden inflation of the airbags could cause death or serious injury. For
locations of the airbags refer to “SRS components” on page 50.
• Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seat
of the vehicle and correctly restrained.
• Incorrectly seated and/or incorrectly restrained infants and children can be killed or
seriously injured by the deploying airbags.
• An infant or child who is too small to use a seatbelt must be correctly secured
using a child restraint system. For instructions concerning the installation of a child
restraint system, refer to “Child restraint” on page 63.
