WARNING
■ Do not modify a front door or leave any damage unrepaired. Always
have your Toyota dealer inspect a damaged front door
Modifying a front door or leaving any damage unrepaired is dangerous.
Each front door has a side crash sensor as a component of the supplemen-
tal restraint system. If holes are drilled in a front door, a door speaker is left
removed, or a damaged door is left unrepaired, the sensor could be
adversely affected causing it to not detect the pressure of an impact cor-
rectly during a side collision. If a sensor does not detect a side impact cor-
rectly, the side and curtain air bags and the front seat belt pretensioner may
not operate normally which could result in serious injury to occupants.
■ Do not modify the supplemental restraint system
Modifying the components or wiring of the supplemental restraint system is
dangerous. You could accidentally activate it or make it inoperable. Do not
make any modifications to the supplemental restraint system. This includes
installing trim, badges, or anything else over the air bag modules. It also
includes installing extra electrical equipment on or near system components
or wiring. Your Toyota dealer can provide the special care needed in the
removal and installation of front seats. It is important to protect the air bag
wiring and connections to assure that the bags do not accidentally deploy,
and that the front passenger occupant classification system and the seats
retain an undamaged air bag connection.
■ Do not place luggage or other objects under the front seats
Placing luggage or other objects under the front seats is dangerous. The
components essential to the supplemental restraint system could be dam-
aged, and in the event of a side collision, the appropriate air bags may not
deploy, which could result in death or serious injury. To prevent damage to
the components essential to the supplemental restraint system, do not
place luggage or other objects under the front seats.
■ Do not operate a vehicle with damaged air bag/seat belt pretensioner
system components
Expended or damaged air bag/seat belt pretensioner system components
must be replaced after any collision which caused them to deploy or dam-
age them. Only a trained Authorized Toyota Dealer can fully evaluate these
systems to see that they will work in any subsequent accident. Driving with
an expended or damaged air bag or pretensioner unit will not afford you the
necessary protection in the event of any subsequent accident which could
result in serious injury or death.
