or surrounding area is scratched,
cracked, or otherwise damaged.

The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) airbags are designed to provide
further protection for the driver and
passenger in addition to the primary
safety protection provided by the seat
belts.
In response to a severe frontal impact,
the SRS airbags work together with the
seat belts to help reduce injury by inflat-
ing. The SRS airbags help to reduce inju-
ries mainly to the driver’s or passenger’s
head or chest caused by directly hitting
the steering wheel or dashboard. When
the passenger airbag manual on- off swich
is in the “ON” position, the passenger air-
bag is activated even with no passenger
in the seat.
Be sure to wear your seat belt properly.
Your vehicle is equipped with a crash
sensing and diagnostic module, which will
record the use of the seat belt restraint
system by the driver when the SRS air-
bags inflated.
CAUTION
A driver or passenger too close to
the steering wheel or dashboard dur-
ing airbag deployment can be killed
or seriously injured. Toyota strongly
recommends that:
! The driver sit as far back as pos-
sible from the steering wheel while
still maintaining control of the ve-
hicle.
! The passenger sit as far back as
possible from the dashboard.
! All vehicle occupants be properly
restrained using the available seat
belts.
