CAUTION
■
SRS airbag precautions
●
If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel
pad and front, center and rear pillar garnishes, are damaged or cracked,
have them replaced by your Toyota dealer.
●
Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger's seat.
Doing so will disperse the passenger's weight, which prevents the sensor
from detecting the passenger's weight properly. As a result, the SRS front
passenger airbag may not deploy in the event of a collision.
■

without consulting your Toyota dealer.
The SRS airbag may malfunction or deploy (inflate) accidentally, causing
death or serious injury.
