Srs Driver And Front Passenger Airbags - Toyota 2003 Land Cruiser Owner's Manual

SRS driver and front
passenger airbags
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) front airbags are designed to pro-
vide further protection for the driver
and front passenger in addition to the
primary safety protection provided by
the seat belts.
In response to a severe frontal impact,
the SRS front airbags work together with
the seat belts to help reduce injury by
inflating. The SRS front airbags help to
reduce injuries mainly to the driver's or
front passenger's head or chest directly
hitting the steering wheel or dashboard.
The front passenger airbag is activated
even with no passenger in the front seat.
Be sure to wear your seat belt properly.
Your vehicle is equipped with a crash
sensing and diagnostic module, which will
record the use of the seat belt restraint
system by the driver when the SRS front
airbags are inflated.
CAUTION
A driver or front passenger who is
too close to the steering wheel or
dashboard during airbag deployment
can be killed or seriously injured.
Toyota strongly recommends that:
D
The driver sit as far back as pos-
sible from the steering wheel while
still maintaining control of the ve-
hicle.
D
The front passenger sit as far back
as possible from the dashboard.
D
All vehicle occupants be properly
restrained using the available seat
belts.
