Passenger automatic airbag cutoff timeline: Toyota vehicles (Toyota/Lexus/Scion)

Before viewing this cutoff chart, read this information post

Red - no cutoff (passenger airbag WILL deploy regardless of occupancy)

Blue - cutoff depends on vehicle variant

Yellow - cutoff is included, but does NOT meet FMVSS 208 advanced airbag standards; these cutoffs were typically aimed at reducing repair costs when the passenger seat is empty, and not toward child safety. 

Green - cutoff is included, that DOES meet FMVSS 208 standards

Note that this chart only includes automatic, sensor-based cutoffs, not manual switch-based cutoffs. 

This chart contains Toyota-built vehicles (Toyota, Lexus, and Scion)

The 2005 Toyota Tundra only had an automatic passenger airbag sensor when equipped with front bucket seats; bench seat models stuck with the manual cutoff and are labeled as red (as they lack an automatic cutoff).
