NOTICE
Do not disconnect the battery cables
before contacting your Toyota dealer.
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) side airbags and curtain shield air-
bags are designed to provide further
protection for the driver, front passen-
ger and second seat outside passen-
gers in addition to the primary safety
protection provided by the seat belts.
In response to a severe side impact, the
SRS side airbags and curtain shield air-
bags work with the seat belts to help
reduce injury by inflating. The SRS side
airbags help reduce injuries mainly to the
driver’s or front passenger’s chest and the
SRS curtain shield airbags help reduce
injuries mainly to the driver’s, front pas-
senger’s or second seat outside passen-
ger’s head.
The SRS side airbag on the passenger
seat will not activate if there is no pas-
senger sitting in the front passenger seat.
However, the side airbag on the passen-
ger seat may deploy if luggage is put in
the seat, or the seat belt is buckled up,
regardless of the presence of an occupant
in the seat. (As for the front passenger
occupant classification system, see “Front
passenger occupant classification system”
on page 102 in this Section.)
The SRS curtain shield airbag on the pas-
senger side are activated even with no
passenger in the front seat or rear outside
seat.
Roll sensing function:
In response to a vehicle rollover, the cur-
tain shield airbags on both sides work
with the seat belts to help reduce injury
by inflating. The curtain shield airbags
help reduce injuries mainly to the driver’s,
front passenger’s or second seat outside
passenger’s head and help prevent them
from being thrown out of the vehicle. (This
function can be turned off if inflation is
not desired. See “Roll sensing of curtain
shield airbags off switch” on page 106 in
this Section.)
The SRS curtain shield airbags may acti-
vate even when the side airbags are not
activated.
