01 SIENNA_U (L/O0008) Your vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing and diagnostic module, which will record the use of the seat belt restraint system by the driver and front passenger when the SRS side airbags are inflated. CAUTION SRS side airbags inflate with considerable force. To avoid potential death or serious injury when they inflate, the driver and front passenger must: D Wear their seat belts properly. D Remain properly seated with their back upright and against the seat at all times. 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 side airbags are operating properly. This warning light system monitors the airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sensors, side airbag sensor, front seat belt pretensioner assemblies, inflators, warning light, interconnecting wiring and power sources. (For details, see "Service reminder indicators and warning buzzers" in Section 1−5.) The SRS side airbag system may not activate if the vehicle is subjected to a collision from the side at certain angles, or a collision to the side of the vehicle body other than the passenger compartment as shown in the illustration. The SRS side airbags are designed to inflate when the passenger compartment area suffers a severe impact from the side. For the safety of all occupants, always wear your seat belts properly. 82 2001 MY SIENNA (OM45406U)
