CAUTION
SRS airbag precautions
■
If the vinyl cover is put on the area where the SRS knee airbag will deploy,
●
be sure to remove it.
Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side
●
airbags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the airbags.
Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS air-
●
bag components (→P. 134).
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.
Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS air-
●
bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.
If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbag has deployed, open a
●
door or window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to do
so. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation.
If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel
●
pad and front and rear pillar garnishes, are damaged or cracked, have
them replaced by your Toyota dealer.
Do not attach anything to or lean any-
●
thing against areas such as the dash-
board, steering wheel pad or lower
portion of the instrument panel.
These items can become projectiles
when SRS driver, front passenger and
knee airbags deploy.
Do not attach anything to areas such as
●
the door, windshield glass, side door
glass, front and rear pillars, roof side
rail or assist grip.
Do not hang coat hangers or other hard
●
objects on the coat hooks. All of these
items could become projectiles and
seriously injure or kill you, should the
SRS curtain shield airbag deploy.
