! Do not allow anyone to lean his/her
head or any part of his/her body
against the door or the area of the
seat, front pillar or roof side rail
from which the SRS side airbag and
curtain shield airbag deploy even if
he/she is a child seated in the child
restraint system. It is dangerous if
the SRS side airbag and curtain
shield airbag inflate, and the impact
of the deploying airbag could cause
death or serious injury to the occu-
pant.
! 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 seats of the vehicle and prop-
erly restrained. The rear seats are
the safest for infants and children.
For instructions concerning the
installation of a child restraint sys-
tem, see “Child restraint” on page
86 in this Section.
The SRS side airbag and curtain shield
airbag system may not activate if the
vehicle is subjected to a collision from
the side at certain angles, or a collision
to the side of the vehicle body other
than the passenger compartment as
shown in the illustration.
The SRS side airbags and curtain shield
airbags are designed to inflate when the
passenger compartment area suffers a se-
vere impact from the side.
Always wear your seat belts properly.
Collision from the rear
Collision from the front
Vehicle rollover
The SRS side airbags and curtain shield
airbags are not designed to inflate if
the vehicle is involved in a front or
rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is
involved in a low−speed side collision.
