1998 Toyota T100 Owners Manual - Page 28

T100(U) CAUTION A driver too close to the steering wheel during airbag deployment can be killed or seriously injured. Toyota strongly recommends that: D The driver sit as far back as possible from the steering wheel while still maintaining control of the vehicle. D All vehicle occupants be properly restrained using the available seat belts. This indicator comes on when the ignition 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 system monitors the front airbag sensors, center airbag sensor assembly, inflator, warning light, interconnecting wiring and power sources. The SRS airbag system is designed to activate in response to a severe frontal impact within the shaded area between the arrows in the illustration. There may be the case that the SRS airbag will not activate with such an impact in which the occupant wearing the seat belt correctly would not get serious injury. The SRS airbag will deploy if the severity of the impact is above the designed threshold level, comparable to an approximate 20 km/h (14 mph) collision when impacting straight into a fixed barrier that does not move or deform. If the severity of the impact is below the above threshold level, the SRS airbag may not deploy. 28
