Your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger occupant classification
system. This system detects the conditions of the front
passenger seat and activates or deactivates the front passenger
airbag, front passenger knee airbag and front passenger's seat
belt pretensioner.

Condition and operation in the front passenger occupant classification
system
Adult*1
Child*4 or child restraint system*5
Unoccupied
There is a malfunction in the system
*1: The system judges a person of adult size as an adult. When a smaller
adult sits in the front passenger seat, the system may recognize him/her
as a child depending on his/her physique and posture.
*2: In the event the front passenger is wearing a seat belt
*3: In the event the front passenger does not wear a seat belt
*4: When a larger child who has outgrown a child restraint system sits in the
front passenger seat, the system may recognize him/her as an adult
depending on his/her physique or posture.
*5: Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger
seat. A forward-facing child restraint system should only be installed on
the front passenger seat when it is unavoidable.
*6: In case the indicator light is not illuminated, consult this manual on how
to install the child restraint system properly.
*7: In the event of a side collision.
*8: In the event of a frontal collision or rollover.
| WARNING ■Front passenger occupant classification system
precautions
Observe the following precautions regarding the front passenger occupant
classification system.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
- Wear the seat belt properly.
- Make sure the front passenger's seat belt plate has not been
left inserted
into the buckle before someone sits in the front passenger seat.
- Make sure the "AIR BAG OFF" indicator light is not illuminated
when using
the seat belt extender for the right front passenger seat. If the
"AIR BAG
OFF" indicator light is illuminated, disconnect the extender tongue
from
the seat belt buckle, and reconnect the seat belt. Reconnect the
seat belt
extender after making sure the "AIR BAG ON" indicator light is
illuminated.
If you use the seat belt extender while the "AIR BAG OFF" indicator
light is
illuminated, the SRS airbags for the front passenger will not
activate,
which could cause death or serious injury in the event of a
collision.
- Do not apply a heavy load to the front passenger seat or
equipment (e.g.
seatback pockets).
- Do not put weight on the front passenger seat by putting your
hands or
feet on the front passenger seat seatback from the rear passenger
seat.
- Do not let a rear passenger lift the front passenger seat with
their feet or
press on the seatback with their legs.
- Do not put objects under the front passenger seat.

| WARNING ■Front passenger occupant classification system
precautions
- Do not recline the front passenger seatback so far that it
touches a rear
seat. This may cause the "AIR BAG OFF" indicator light to be
illuminated,
which indicates that the SRS airbags for the front passenger will
not activate
in the event of a severe accident. If the seatback touches the rear
seat, return the seatback to a position where it does not touch the
rear
seat. Keep the front passenger seatback as upright as possible when
the
vehicle is moving. 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
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.
- When it is unavoidable to install a 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 seats.
- Do not kick the front passenger seat or subject it to severe
impact. Otherwise,
the SRS warning light may come on to indicate a malfunction of the
front passenger occupant classification 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 and seat cover,
that covers
the seat cushion surface.
- Do not attach a commercial seatback table or other heavy item to
the back
of the front passenger seat.
- Do not modify or replace the upholstery of the front seat.

Safety information
for children
Observe the following precautions when children are in the vehicle.
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the
child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat
belt.
- Double Cab and CrewMax models: It is recommended that children
sit in the rear seats to avoid accidental contact with the shift lever,
wiper lever, etc.
- Use the rear door child-protector lock or the window lock switch (if
equipped) to avoid children opening the door while driving or operating
the power window accidentally.
- Do not let small children operate equipment which may catch or
pinch body parts, such as the power window, hood, tailgate, seats,
etc.
| WARNING Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and
never allow children to
have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into
neutral.
There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing
with
the windows, the moon roof or other features of the vehicle. In
addition, heat
build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal
to
children. |
