Improperly seated and/or restrained
D
infants and children can be killed
or seriously injured by
deploying airbags. An infant
child who is too small to use a seat
belt should be properly secured
using a child restraint
Toyota strongly recommends that all
infants and children be placed in
the rear seat of the vehicle and
properly restrained. The rear seat is
the safest for infants and children.
For instructions concerning
installation of a child restraint
system, see "Child restraint" on
page 115 in this Section.
The SRS front airbags are designed to
deploy in severe (usually frontal) colli-
sions where the magnitude and duration
the
of the forward deceleration of the ve-
or
hicle exceeds the designed threshold
level.
The SRS front airbags will deploy if the
system.
severity of the impact is above the de-
signed threshold level, comparable to an
approximate 25 km/h (15 mph) collision
when the vehicle has the impact straight
into a fixed barrier that does not move or
deform.
the
However, this threshold velocity will be
considerably higher if the vehicle strikes
an object, such as a parked vehicle or
sign pole, which can move or deform on
impact, or if the vehicle is involved in an
underride collision (e.g.
which the front of the vehicle "underrides",
or goes under, the bed of a truck, etc.).
It is possible that in some collisions
where the forward deceleration of the ve-
hicle is very close to the designed thresh-
old level, the SRS front airbags and the
seat belt pretensioners may not activate
together.
Always wear your seat belts properly.

Collision from
the side
The SRS front airbags are not generally
designed to inflate if the vehicle is in-
volved in a side or rear collision, if it
rolls over, or if it is involved in a low−
speed frontal collision. But, whenever a
a collision in
collision of any type causes sufficient
forward deceleration of the vehicle, de-
ployment of the SRS front airbags may
occur.
