(GVWR = Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)

4Runner's driver-side and front passenger-side 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 sever injury or death in all types of crashes, seatbelts
must be worn at all times by all vehicle occupants.  Do not
use rearward-facing child seats in any front-passenger seat. The force of a deploying airbag SRS may cause serious injury. For more information on airbags and instructions on child seat usage, see the Owner's Manual.
