Toyota 4Runner 2019

The Toyota 4Runner is a midsize SUV known for its off-road capability, durability, and spaciousness. The 2019 Toyota 4Runner offered a range of features to cater to both on-road and off-road enthusiasts. Here’s an introduction to the 2019 Toyota 4Runner:

Power and Performance: The 2019 4Runner was equipped with a 4.0-liter V6 engine, delivering 270 horsepower and 278 lb-ft of torque. It came standard with a five-speed automatic transmission. The 4Runner offered both rear-wheel drive and part-time four-wheel drive options, with a two-speed transfer case available for enhanced off-road performance.

Off-Road Capability: The 4Runner was renowned for its off-road capabilities. It featured a body-on-frame construction, high ground clearance, and a rugged suspension system. TRD Off-Road and TRD Pro trims offered additional off-road features such as a locking rear differential, crawl control, multi-terrain select, and specially tuned suspension components to tackle challenging terrains.

Interior and Seating: The 2019 4Runner provided seating for up to five or seven passengers, depending on the trim level and configuration. It had a spacious and versatile cabin, with fold-flat second-row seats and an optional third-row seat available on certain trims. The cargo area offered ample room for storage and could be expanded by folding down the rear seats.

Technology and Safety: The 2019 4Runner came equipped with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system that included features like Bluetooth connectivity, USB ports, and available integrated navigation. It also had a rearview camera as a standard safety feature. However, advanced driver-assistance features were limited on the 2019 4Runner compared to some other SUVs in its class.

Design: The 2019 4Runner featured a rugged and athletic design with strong lines and a bold front grille. It had a tough and capable appearance, accentuated by features like roof rails, skid plates, and available running boards.

It’s important to note that while the 2019 Toyota 4Runner offered excellent off-road capabilities and durability, its technology and safety features may not be as advanced as some other vehicles in its segment. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, I recommend contacting a Toyota dealership or visiting the official Toyota website.

SRS airbags

The SRS airbags inflate when the vehicle is subjected to certain types of severe impacts that may cause significant injury to the occupants. They work together with the seat belts to help reduce the risk of death or serious injury.

• SRS front airbags
  • SRS driver airbag/front passenger airbag
    Can help protect the head and chest of the driver and front passenger
    from impact with interior components
  • SRS knee airbags
    Can help provide the driver and front passenger protection
• SRS side and curtain shield airbags
  • SRS front airbags
    SRS driver airbag/front passenger airbag
  • Can help protect the head and chest of the driver and front passenger from impact with interior components SRS knee airbags
  • Can help provide the driver and front passenger protection
• SRS side and curtain shield airbags

Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed based on the US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The airbag sensor assembly (ECU) controls airbag deployment based on information obtained from the sensors etc. shown in the system components diagram above. This information includes crash severity and occupant information. As the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occupants.

CAUTION

• SRS airbag precautions
  Observe the following precautions regarding the SRS airbags. Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
  • The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts properly. The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with seat belts.
  • The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force and can cause death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) advises: Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 2 – 3 in. (50 – 75 mm) of inflation, placing yourself 10 in. (250 mm) from your driver airbag provides you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured from the center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than 10 in. (250 mm) away now, you can change your driving position in several ways:
    • Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the pedals comfortably.
    • Slightly recline the back of the seat.
      Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 10 in. (250 mm) distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward, simply by reclining the back of the seat somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to see the road, raise yourself by using a firm, non-slippery cushion, or raise the seat if your vehicle has that feature.
    • If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the airbag toward your chest instead of your head and neck. The seat should be adjusted as recommended by NHTSA above, while still maintaining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instrument panel controls.
    • If the seat belt extender has been connected to the front seat belt buckles but the seat belt extender has not also been fastened to the latch plate of the seat belt, the SRS front airbags will judge that the driver and front passenger are wearing the seat belt even though the seat belt has not been connected. In this case, the SRS front airbags may not activate correctly in a collision, resulting in death or serious injury in the event of a collision. Be sure to wear the seat belt with the seat belt extender.
    • The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force and can cause death or serious injury especially if the front passenger is very close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far from the air-bag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits upright.
    • Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or seriously injured by a deploying airbag. An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint sys-tem. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats are safer for infants and children than the front passenger seat. (P. 53)
    • Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean against the dashboard.

Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modifications without consulting your Toyota dealer. The SRS airbags may malfunction or deploy (inflate) accidentally, causing death or serious injury.

• • Installation, removal, disassembly, and repair of the SRS airbags
  • Repairs, modifications, removal, or replacement of the steering wheel, instrument panel, dashboard, seats or seat upholstery, front, side and rear pillars or roof side rails
  • Repairs or modifications of the front fender, front bumper, or side of the occupant compartment
  • Installation of a grill guard (bull bars, kangaroo bar, etc.), snow plows, winches, or roof luggage carrier.
  • Modifications to the vehicle’s suspension system
  • Installation of electronic devices such as mobile two-way radios and CD players
  • Modifications to your vehicle for a person with a physical disability

If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)

• • Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may be sustained from SRS airbags, due to the extremely high-speed deployment (inflation) by hot gases.
  • A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.
  • Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats, parts of the front and rear pillars, and roof side rails may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.
  • The windshield may crack.
  • For Safety Connect subscribers, if the SRS airbags deploy or in the event of a severe rear-end collision, the system is designed to send an emergency call to the response center, notifying them of the vehicle’s location (without needing to push the “SOS” button) and an agent will attempt to speak with the occupants to ascertain the level of emergency and assistance required. If the occupants are unable to communicate, the agent automatically treats the call as an emergency and helps to dispatch the necessary emergency services. (P. 331)
