Can I get an on/off switch installed for my airbags?

Airbag1 on/off switches are available for most of our vehicles. However, before we sell and install a switch, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) requires that you obtain authorization from them. Please contact them at 800-424-9393 or at http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/. Once you have the authorization, please contact us to locate a Toyota dealership in your area that sells and installs the switch.

1The Toyota driver and front passenger airbags are a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) designed to inflate in a severe frontal collision. In all other accidents, seatbelts offer primary protection, and the airbags will not inflate. Do not sit or place objects close to an airbag. To minimize the risk of severe injury or death in all types of crashes, seatbelts must be worn at all times by all vehicle occupants. Do not use a rearward-facing child seat in any front passenger seat. The force of a deploying airbag SRS may cause serious injury or death. For more information on airbags and instructions on child seat usage, see the Owner's Manual.
