SAFETY AND EMERGENCY FEATURES
Tire Pressure Warning System
•The driver and front passenger airbag Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) is designed only as a supplement to the primary
protection of the seat belt systems of the driver and front
passenger. The front seat occupants are particularly susceptible
to injury if they do not wear their seat belts; when sudden
braking or a collision occurs, they may be thrown forward. To
obtain maximum protection in an accident, the driver and all
passengers in the vehicle should always wear their seat belts
when driving because serious injuries or death can result to
unrestrained occupants. For instructions and precautions
concerning the seat belt system, see “Seat belts” in the
Owner’s Manual.
Indicator light
Designed to provide warning when tire pressure of
any one of the tires is critically reduced while the
vehicle is moving. It must be re-initialized by pushing
and holding the “SET” button if indicator light blinks
twice every second, and/or after replacing or
rotating tires or wheels.
•Toyota strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system
on the rear seat that conforms to the size of the child.
According to accident statistics, a child is safer when properly
restrained in the rear seat than on the front seat.
•Never use a rear-facing child restraint system in the front seat
even if the “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated.
The
Airbag-Supplemental Restraint System
force of the rapid inflation of the passenger airbag can cause
severe injury or death to a child.
The Airbag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
front, side* and side curtain* airbags are designed to
help provide further protection for the driver and
outboard passenger in addition to the primary safety
protection provided by the seat belts.
•Unless it is unavoidable, do not install a forward-facing child
restraint system in the front seat even if the “AIRBAG OFF”
indicator light is illuminated. If you must install a forward-
facing child restraint system in that the front seat, move the
seat as far back as possible.
•Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions
provided by the child restraint manufacturer and the system is
properly secured.
•Make sure the “AIRBAG ON” indicator light is illuminated when
using the seat belt extender for the front passenger seat. If the
“AIRBAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated, disconnect the
extender tongue from the seat belt buckle, then reconnect the
seat belt. Reconnect the seat belt extender after making sure
the “AIRBAG ON” indicator light is illuminated. If you use the
seat belt extender while the “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light is
illuminated, the front passenger airbag and side airbag on the
front passenger side may not activate correctly, which could
cause death or serious injury in the event of collision.
•If an adult sits in the front passenger seat, “AIRBAG ON”
indicator light should be illuminated. If the “AIRBAG OFF”
indicator light 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 “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light
still remains illuminated, either ask the passenger to move to
the rear seat, or if that is not possible, move the front
passenger seat fully rearward.
Front passenger occupant classification system
Monitors the weight on the front passenger seat, and
detects if the seat belt is fastened to determine
passenger occupancy and size of passenger, if any.
For the system to correctly determine conditions
-
-
-
Do not place heavy objects on the front passenger
seat.
Do not attach a seatback table to the front
passenger seatback.
Do not put weight on the front passenger seat by
putting your hands or feet on the front passenger
seatback from the rear passenger seat.
Please read the following caution, and refer to the
Owner’s Manual for more details.
•The SRS side and side curtain airbags (optional) are designed to
deploy in certain types of severe side impact collisions. In all
other collisions, the side impact and side curtain airbags will
not deploy. For instructions and precautions, see your Owner’s
Manual.
*If installed
•Do not lean against the side doors when the vehicle is in use.
The side and side curtain airbags inflate with considerable
speed and force. Death or serious injury could result.
•Do not modify, cover or replace the surface of the front seats.
Such changes could disable the system or prevent the airbags
from activating correctly, resulting in death or serious injury.
