If the vehicle is involved in multiple
collisions, the pretensioner will acti-

activate for the second or subse-
quent collisions.

WARNING
■ Seat belt pretensioners
● Do not place anything, such as
a cushion, on the front passen-
ger’s seat. Doing so will
disperse the passenger’s
weight, which prevents the sen-
sor from detecting the passen-
ger’s weight properly. As a
result, the seat belt pretensioner
for the front passenger’s seat
may not activate in the event of
a collision.
● If the pretensioner has acti-
vated, the SRS warning light will
come on. In that case, the seat
belt cannot be used again and
must be replaced at your Toyota

SRS airbags

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) name is used because

the airbag system supplements the vehicle’s seatbelts.
This vehicle is equipped with a supplemental restraint system
which consists of seven airbags. 1
The configurations are as follows.
 Driver’s and front passenger’s frontal airbags

For safety and security

 Driver’s and front passenger’s side airbags
 Curtain shield airbags (for driver, front passenger and rear pas-
sengers)
 Knee airbag for driver
These SRS airbags are designed only to be a supplement to
the primary protection provided by the seatbelt.
The system also controls front seatbelt pretensioners. For
operation instructions and precautions concerning the seat-
belt pretensioner, refer to P.27.

Components

classification system. This system detects the conditions of
the front passenger seat and activates or deactivates the front
passenger airbag.

The front passenger’s frontal airbag ON and OFF indicators show
you the status of the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag. When the
engine switch is turned to ON, both the ON and OFF indicators illu-

: The front passenger’s SRS side airbag, SRS curtain shield airbag and

which may affect this can be the physique or posture.
Children who have outgrown a child restraint system should always wear
the seat belt when sitting in the seat irrespective of whether the airbag is
deactivated or activated.

: Do not place more than one child on the front passenger seat.
Failure to do so may prevent the front passenger occupant classification
system from functioning correctly.
*7
: When a child restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat, do
not place any article on the seat other than the child occupant and a child

Failure to do so may prevent the front passenger occupant classification

WARNING
● Toyota strongly urges the use of
a proper child restraint system
that conforms to the weight and
size of the child, installed on the
rear seat. According to accident
statistics, the child is safer when
properly restrained in the rear 1
seat than in the front seat.
● Holding a child in your or some-

For safety and security

one else’s arms is not a substi-
tute for a child restraint system.
In an accident, the child can be
crushed against the windshield
or between the holder and the
interior of the vehicle.
■ Handling the child restraint
system
If the child restraint system is not
properly fixed in place, the child or
other passengers may be seri-
ously injured or even killed in the
event of sudden braking, sudden
swerving, or an accident.
● If the vehicle were to receive a
strong impact from an accident,
etc., it is possible that the child
restraint system has damage
that is not readily visible. In
such cases, do not reuse the
restraint system.
● Make sure you have complied
with all installation instructions
provided with the child restraint
system manufacturer and that
the system is properly secured.
● Keep the child restraint system
properly secured on the seat
even if it is not in use. Do not
store the child restraint system
unsecured in the passenger
compartment.
● If it is necessary to detach the
child restraint system, remove it
from the vehicle or store it
securely in the trunk.

Pre-Collision Braking System operation

When there is an obstacle in front of you during driving, the system
activates in the following sequence in order to warn the driver and to
activate braking control and the stop lights.
Following distance warning:
When the system determines that there is a risk of collision, an alert sounds
repeated short beeps and an interruption screen is displayed on the meter
display to warn the driver.
When the driver depresses the brake pedal to decelerate and achieves a
suitable following distance, the warning is canceled.
First braking and warning:
When the system determines that there is a high risk of collision with an
obstacle in front, an alert sounds repeated short beeps and the indicators
on the meter display illuminate to warn the driver. Braking control may be
activated and in some situations, engine output may also be controlled. If
the system determines that the amount of evasive action (braking, steering,
etc.) taken by the driver has reduced the risk of collision, braking activation
is canceled.
Secondary braking and warning:
If the system then determines that the risk of collision is extremely high, the
alert changes to a continuous beeping sound and stronger braking control
is activated. Despite any evasive action taken by the driver, if the system
 4-5. EyeSight 187
subsequently determines that a collision is unavoidable, the system contin-
ues to control braking and engine output.
When the vehicle is completely stopped by the automatic braking system, a
short tone “3 intermittent beeps, 1 short beep and 1 long beep” will sound
and braking will be gradually released.
Depress the brake pedal after the vehicle has stopped to ensure that the
vehicle stays stopped.

● Neither first braking nor secondary braking will operate in the following
cases.
• Vehicles with an automatic transmission: The vehicle speed is approxi-
mately 1 mph (1 km/h) or less (When the shift lever is in the N position and
your vehicle speed is approximately 2 mph (4km/h) or less) or 100 mph
(160 km/h) or more.
• Vehicles with a manual transmission: The vehicle speed is approximately
1 mph (1 km/h) or less (approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) or less when the
shift lever is in the N position and the shift lever is operated or the clutch
pedal is depressed) or less or 100 mph (160 km/h) or more.
• VSC is active. 4
● If the system detects the stop lights of the vehicle in front, your vehicle will
start decelerating earlier than if it does not.

Driving
● There are some cases where the first braking is applied for a longer period
of time. One of the reasons for this is due to a large speed difference with
an obstacle in front. In those cases, stronger or weaker braking control
may be activated.

After the Pre-Collision Braking System operation, a message

appears and stays on the meter display for a certain period of time.

To help avoid damage to your
vehicle, drive slowly, readjust or
remove the device if it is con-
tacting your vehicle, and do not
spin your wheels. Damage
caused to your vehicle by use of
a traction device is not covered
under warranty.
Make certain that any traction
device you use is an SAE class
“S” device, and use it on the rear
wheels only. Always use the
utmost care when driving with a
traction device. Overconfidence
because you are using a traction
device could easily lead to a
serious accident.
