&
CAUTION
• The SRS airbag system is designed
only as a supplement to the prima-
ry protection of the driver side and
front passenger side seat belt sys-
tems. The front seat occupants can
be killed or seriously injured by the
inflating airbags if they do not wear
the available seat belts properly.
During sudden braking just before
a collision, an unrestrained driver
or front passenger can move for-
ward into direct contact with or
close proximity to the airbag which
may then deploy during the colli-
sion. To ensure maximum protection
in an accident, the driver and all
passengers
in
the vehicle
must
wear their seat belts properly. Wear-
ing a seat belt properly during an
accident reduces the chances of
death or serious injury or being
thrown out of the vehicle. For in-
structions and precautions concern-
ing the seat belt system, see "Seat
belts" on page 50 in this Section.
• Improperly seated and/or restrained
infants and children can be killed
or seriously injured by the deploy-
ing front 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 seat of the vehicle and proper-
ly restrained. The rear seat is the
safest for infants and children. For
instructions concerning the installa-
tion of a child restraint system, see
"Child restraint" on page 74 in this
Section.
• Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rear-
ward facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an airbag in front
of it! This is because the force of
the rapid inflation of the front pas-
senger airbag can cause death or
serious injury to the child. Vehicles
with the front passenger airbag dis-
play a warning label on the passen-
ger side instrument panel as shown
above to remind you not to install
a rear-facing child restraint system
on the front passenger seat at any
time.
