SRS driver airbag
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) airbag is designed to provide fur-
ther protection for the driver when add-
ed to the primary protection provided
by the seat belt.
In response to a severe frontal impact,
the SRS airbag works together with the
seat belt to help prevent or reduce injury
by inflating, in order to decrease the likeli-
hood of the driver's head or chest directly
hitting the steering wheel.
Be sure to wear your seat belt.

CAUTION
A driver too close to the steering
wheel during airbag deployment can
be killed or seriously injured. Toyota
strongly recommends that:
"
The driver sit as far back as pos-
sible from the steering wheel while
still maintaining control of the ve-
hicle.
"
All vehicle occupants be properly
restrained using the available seat
belts.
This indicator comes on when the igni-
tion key is turned to the "ACC" or
"ON" position. It goes off after about
6 seconds. This means the SRS airbag
is operating properly.
The SRS airbag warning light
monitors the airbag sensor assembly, in-
flator, warning light, interconnecting wiring
and power sources. (For details, see "Ser-
vice reminder indicators and warning buzz-
ers" in Chapter 5.)
