| * The Toyota driver, front passenger
and front seat-mounted side-impact airbags are Supplemental Restraint
Systems (SRS). The driver and front passenger airbags are designed
to deploy in severe (usually frontal) collisions where the magnitude
and duration of the forward deceleration of the vehicle exceeds the
design thresholjd level. The side-impact airbags are designed to inflate
in severe sideimpact collisions. In all other accidents, the airbags
will not inflate. To decrease the risk of injury from a deploying
airbag, always wear seatbelts, sit upright in the middle of the seat
as far back as possible from the airbag modules and do not lean against
the door. Do not put objects in front of an airbag or around the seatback.
Do not use rearward-facing child seats in any front passenger seat.
The force of a deploying airbag SRS may cause serious injury or death.
Please see the Owner’s Manual for further instructions. |
