Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Pre-

cautions

The front and side supplemental restraint systems (SRS) include dif-

ferent types of air bags. Please verify the different types of air bags

which are equipped on your vehicle by locating the “SRS AIRBAG”

location indicators. These indicators are visible in the area where the

air bags are installed.

The air bags are installed in the following locations:

• The steering wheel hub (driver air bag)

• The front passenger dashboard (front passenger air bag)

• The outboard sides of the front seatbacks (side air bags)

• The front and rear window pillars, and the roof edge along both

sides (curtain air bags)

Vehicles with the Front Passenger Occupant Classification System

have a sensor which detects an impending roll-over accident.

The air bag supplemental restraint systems are designed to provide

supplemental protection in certain situations so seat belts are always

important in the following ways:

Without seat belt usage, the air bags cannot provide adequate protec-

tion during an accident. Seat belt usage is necessary to:

• Keep the occupant from being thrown into an inflating air bag.

• Reduce the possibility of injuries during an accident that is not

designed for air bag inflation, such as rear impact.

• Reduce the possibility of injuries in frontal, near frontal or side colli-

sions or roll-over accidents that are not severe enough to activate

the air bags.

• Reduce the possibility of being thrown from your vehicle.

• Reduce the possibility of injuries to lower body and legs during an

accident because the air bags provide no protection to these parts

of the body.

• Hold the driver in a position which allows better control of the vehi-

cle.

If your vehicle is also equipped with a front passenger occupant clas-

sification system, refer to the Front Passenger Occupant Classifica-

tion System (P. 82) for details.

If your vehicle is equipped with a

front passenger occupant classifi-

cation system, the front passen-

ger air bag deactivation indicator

light illuminates for a specified

time after the ignition is switched

ON.

Small children must be protected by a child-restraint system as stipu-

lated by law in every state and province. In certain states and prov-

inces, larger children must use a child-restraint system (P. 44).

Carefully consider which child-restraint system is necessary for your

child and follow the installation directions in this Owner’s Manual as

well as the child-restraint system manufacturer’s instructions.

●If it becomes necessary to have the components or wiring system for the

supplementary restraint system modified to accommodate a person with

certain medical conditions in accordance with a certified physician, contact

your Toyota dealer.

●When an air bag deploys, a loud inflation noise can be heard and some

smoke will be released. Neither is likely to cause injury, however, the texture

of the air bags may cause light skin injuries on body parts not covered with

clothing through friction.

●Should you sell your Toyota, we urge you to tell the new owner of its air bag

systems and that familiarization with all instructions about them, from the

Owner’s Manual, is important.

●This highly-visible label is displayed

which warns against the use of a rear-

facing child-restraint system on the front

passenger seat.

1-4. SRS Air Bags

WARNING

■Seat belts must be worn in air bag equipped vehicles

Depending only on the air bags for protection during an accident is danger-

ous. Alone, air bags may not prevent serious injuries. The appropriate air

bags can be expected to inflate only in the first accident, such as frontal,

near frontal or side collisions or roll-over accidents that are at least moder-

ate. Vehicle occupants should always wear seat belts.

■Children should not ride in the front passenger seat

Placing a child, 12 years or under, in the front seat is dangerous. The child

could be hit by a deploying air bag and be seriously injured or even killed. A

sleeping child is more likely to lean against the door and be hit by the side

air bag in moderate collision to the front-passenger side of the vehicle.

Whenever possible, always secure a child 12 years and under on the rear

seats with an appropriate child-restraint system for the child’s age and size.

■Never use a rear-facing child-restraint system in the front seat with an

air bag that could deploy

Rear-facing child-restraint systems on

the front seat are particularly dangerous

even though you may feel assured that a

front passenger air bag will not deploy

based on the fact that the front passen-

ger air bag deactivation indicator light

illuminates. The child-restraint system

can be hit by a deploying air bag and

moved violently backward resulting in

serious injury or death to the child.

■Do not sit too close to the driver and front passenger air bags

Sitting too close to the driver and front passenger air bag modules or plac-

ing hands or feet on them is extremely dangerous. The driver and front pas-

senger air bags inflate with great force and speed. Serious injuries could

occur if someone is too close. The driver should always hold onto only the

rim of the steering wheel. The front seat passenger should keep both feet

on the floor. Front seat occupants should adjust their seats as far back as

possible and always sit upright against the seatbacks with seat belts worn

properly.

YARIS_YARIS HATCHBACK_OM_OM99V59z_(U)

69

1-4. SRS Air Bags

WARNING

■Sit in the center of the seat and wear seat belts properly

Sitting too close to the side air bag modules or placing hands on them, or

sleeping up against the door or hanging out the windows is extremely dan-

gerous. The side and curtain air bags inflate with great force and speed

directly expanding along the door on the side the car is hit. Serious injury

could occur if someone is sitting too close to the door or leaning against a

window, or if rear seat occupants grab the sides of the front seatbacks. Give

the side and curtain air bags room to work by sitting in the center of the seat

while the vehicle is moving with seat belts worn properly.

1

■Do not attach objects on or around the area where driver and front pas-

senger air bags deploy

Attaching an object to the driver and front passenger air bag modules or

placing something in front of them is dangerous. In an accident, an object

could interfere with air bag inflation and injure the occupants.

■Do not attach objects on or around the area where a side air bag

deploys

Attaching objects to the front seat in such a way as to cover the outboard

side of the seat in any way is dangerous. In an accident the object could

interfere with the side air bag, which inflates from the outboard side of the

front seats, impeding the added protection of the side air bag system or

redirecting the air bag in a way that is dangerous. Furthermore, the bag

could be cut open releasing the gas.

Do not hang net bags, map pouches, backpacks with side straps or any

other objects on the front seats. Never use seat covers on the front seats.

Always keep the side air bag modules in your front seats free to deploy in

the event of a side collision.

■Do not attach objects on or around the area where a curtain air bag

deploys

Attaching objects to the areas where the curtain air bag activates such as

on the windshield glass, side door glass, front and rear window pillars and

along the roof edge and assist grips is dangerous. In an accident the object

could interfere with the curtain air bag, which inflates from the front and rear

window pillars and along the roof edge, impeding the added protection of

the curtain air bag system or redirecting the air bag in a way that is danger-

ous. Furthermore, the bag could be cut open releasing the gas.

Do not place hangers or any other objects on the assist grips. When hang-

ing clothes, hang them on the coat hook directly. Always keep the curtain air

bag modules free to deploy in the event of a side collision or roll-over acci-

dent.

1-4. SRS Air Bags

WARNING

■Do not touch the components of the supplemental restraint system

after the air bags have inflated

Touching the components of the supplemental restraint system after the air

bags have inflated is dangerous. Immediately after inflation, they are very

hot. You could get burned.

■Never install any front-end equipment to your vehicle

Installation of front-end equipment, such as frontal protection bar (kangaroo

bar, bull bar, push bar, or other similar devices), snowplow, or winches, is

dangerous. The air bag crash sensor system could be affected. This could

cause air bags to inflate unexpectedly, or it could prevent the air bags from

inflating during an accident. Front occupants could be seriously injured.

■Do not modify the suspension

Modifying the vehicle suspension is dangerous. If the vehicle’s height or the

suspension is modified, the vehicle will be unable to accurately detect a col-

lision or roll-over accident resulting in incorrect or unexpected air bag

deployment and the possibility of serious injuries.

■To prevent false detection by the air bag sensor system, heed the fol-

lowing

●Do not use tires or wheels other than those specified for your Toyota:

Use of any tire or wheel other than those specified for your Toyota (P. 553)

is dangerous. Use of such wheels will prevent the vehicle’s accident detec-

tions system from accurately detecting a collision or roll-over accident result-

ing in incorrect or unexpected air bag deployment and the possibility of

serious injuries.

●Do not overload your vehicle:

Overloading your vehicle is dangerous as it could prevent the air bag

crash sensor system from accurately detecting a collision or roll-over acci-

dent resulting in incorrect or unexpected air bag deployment and the pos-

sibility of serious injuries. The gross axle weight rating (GAWR) and the

gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for your vehicle are on the Motor

Vehicle Safety Standard Label on the driver’s door frame. Do not exceed

these ratings.

●Do not drive the vehicle off-road:

Driving your Toyota off-road is dangerous because the vehicle has not

been designed to do so. Driving the vehicle off-road could prevent the air

bag crash sensor system from accurately detecting a collision or roll-over

accident resulting in incorrect or unexpected air bag deployment and the

possibility of serious injuries.

1-4. SRS Air Bags

WARNING

■Do not modify a front door or leave any damage unrepaired. Always

have your Toyota dealer inspect a damaged front door

Modifying a front door or leaving any damage unrepaired is dangerous.

Each front door has a side crash sensor as a component of the supplemen-

tal restraint system. If holes are drilled in a front door, a door speaker is left

removed, or a damaged door is left unrepaired, the sensor could be

adversely affected causing it to not detect the pressure of an impact cor-

rectly during a side collision. If a sensor does not detect a side impact cor-

rectly, the side and curtain air bags and the front seat belt pretensioner may

not operate normally which could result in serious injury to occupants.

1

■Do not modify the supplemental restraint system

Modifying the components or wiring of the supplemental restraint system is

dangerous. You could accidentally activate it or make it inoperable. Do not

make any modifications to the supplemental restraint system. This includes

installing trim, badges, or anything else over the air bag modules. It also

includes installing extra electrical equipment on or near system components

or wiring. Your Toyota dealer can provide the special care needed in the

removal and installation of front seats. It is important to protect the air bag

wiring and connections to assure that the bags do not accidentally deploy,

and that the front passenger occupant classification system and the seats

retain an undamaged air bag connection.

■Do not place luggage or other objects under the front seats

Placing luggage or other objects under the front seats is dangerous. The

components essential to the supplemental restraint system could be dam-

aged, and in the event of a side collision, the appropriate air bags may not

deploy, which could result in death or serious injury. To prevent damage to

the components essential to the supplemental restraint system, do not

place luggage or other objects under the front seats.

■Do not operate a vehicle with damaged air bag/seat belt pretensioner

system components

Expended or damaged air bag/seat belt pretensioner system components

must be replaced after any collision which caused them to deploy or dam-

age them. Only a trained Authorized Toyota Dealer can fully evaluate these

systems to see that they will work in any subsequent accident. Driving with

an expended or damaged air bag or pretensioner unit will not afford you the

necessary protection in the event of any subsequent accident which could

result in serious injury or death.

1-4. SRS Air Bags

WARNING

■Do not remove interior air bag parts

Removing any components such as the front seats, front dashboard, the

steering wheel or parts on the front and rear window pillars and along the

roof edge, containing air bag parts or sensors is dangerous. These parts

contain essential air bag components. The air bag could accidentally acti-

vate and cause serious injuries. Always have your Toyota dealer remove

these parts.

■Properly dispose of the air bag system

Improper disposal of an air bag or a vehicle with live air bags in it can be

extremely dangerous. Unless all safety procedures are followed, injury

could result. Have your Toyota dealer safely dispose of the air bag system

or scrap an air bag equipped vehicle.

How the SRS Air Bags Work

Your Toyota is equipped with the following types of SRS air

bags. SRS air bags are designed to work together with the seat

belts to help to reduce injuries during an accident. The SRS air

bags are designed to provide further protection for passengers

in addition to the seat belt functions. Be sure to wear seat belts

properly.

◆ Front Seat Belt Pretensioners

The front seat belt pretensioners are designed to deploy in moder-

ate or severe frontal, near frontal collisions.

In addition, the pretensioners operate when a side collision or a roll-

over accident is detected. The pretensioners operate differently

depending on what types of air bags are equipped. For more details

about the seat belt pretensioner operation, refer to the SRS Air Bag

Deployment Criteria (P. 78).

◆ Driver Air Bag

The driver’s air bag is mounted in the steering wheel.

When air bag crash sensors

detect

a

frontal impact of

greater than moderate force,

the driver’s air bag inflates

quickly helping to reduce injury

mainly to the driver’s head or

chest caused by directly hitting

the steering wheel.

For more details about air bag deployment, refer to “SRS Air Bag

Deployment Criteria” (P. 78).

The driver’s dual-stage air bag controls air bag inflation in two

energy stages. During an impact of moderate severity, the driver’s

air bag deploys with lesser energy, whereas during more severe

impacts, it deploys with more energy.

YARIS_YARIS HATCHBACK_OM_OM99V59z_(U)

75

1-4. SRS Air Bags

◆ Front Passenger Air Bag

The front passenger air bag is mounted in the front passenger

dashboard.

The inflation mechanism for the

front passenger air bag is the

same as the driver’s air bag, as

mentioned above.

1

For more details about air bag

deployment, refer to “SRS Air

Bag Deployment Criteria”

(P. 78).

In addition, the front passenger air bag is designed to only deploy in

accordance with the total seated weight on the front passenger

seat. For details, refer to the front passenger occupant classifica-

tion system (P. 82).

◆ Side Air Bags

The side air bags are mounted in the outboard sides of the front

seatbacks.

When the air bag crash sensors

detect a side impact of greater

than moderate force, the sys-

tem inflates the side air bag

only on the side in which the

vehicle was hit. The side air

bag inflates quickly to reduce

injury to the driver or front pas-

senger’s chest caused by

directly hitting interior parts

such as a door or window.

For more details about air bag deployment, refer to “SRS Air Bag

Deployment Criteria” (P. 78).

In addition, the front passenger side air bag is designed to only

deploy when the front passenger occupant classification sensor

detects a passenger sitting on the front passenger’s seat. For

details, refer to the front passenger occupant classification system

(P. 82).

YARIS_YARIS HATCHBACK_OM_OM99V59z_(U)

76

1-4. SRS Air Bags

◆ Curtain Air Bags

The curtain air bags are mounted in the front and rear window pil-

lars, and the roof edge along both sides.

When the air bag crash sensors detect a side impact of greater

than moderate force, the curtain air bag inflates quickly and helps to

reduce injury mainly to the rear outboard passenger’s head caused

by directly hitting interior parts such as a door or window.

For more details about air bag deployment, refer to “SRS Air Bag

Deployment Criteria” (P. 78).

 In a side impact

Greater than moderate impact to one side of the vehicle will cause

the curtain air bag on that side only to inflate.

Only one side curtain air bag

will deploy on the side of the

vehicle that receives the force

of an impact.

 In a roll-over

In response to a vehicle roll-over, both curtain air bags inflate.

Both curtain air bags will deploy

after the roll-over accident is

detected.

Front Passenger Occupant Classification

System

First, please read “Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Pre-

cautions” (P. 66) carefully.

Front Passenger Occupant Classification Sensor

Your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger occupant classifica-

tion sensor as a part of the supplemental restraint system. This sen-

sor is equipped in the front passenger’s seat cushion. This sensor

measures the electrostatic capacity of the front passenger’s seat. The

SAS unit is designed to prevent the front passenger front and side air

bags and seat belt pretensioner system from deploying if the front

passenger air bag deactivation indicator light turns on.

To reduce the chance of injuries caused by deployment of the front

passenger air bag, the system deactivates the front passenger front

and side air bags and also the seat belt pretensioner system when the

front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light turns on. Refer to

the following table for the front passenger air bag deactivation indica-

tor light illumination conditions.

This system shuts off the front passenger front and side air bags and

seat belt pretensioner system, so make sure the front passenger air

bag deactivation indicator light turns on according to the following

table.

The air bag/front seat belt pretensioner system warning light flashes

and the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light illuminates

if the sensors have a possible malfunction. If this happens, the front

passenger front and side air bags and seat belt pretensioner system

will not deploy.

1-4. SRS Air Bags

If the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does not

turn on when the ignition is switched ON and does not turn on as

indicated in the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light

on/off condition chart, do not allow an occupant to sit in the front

passenger seat and consult your Toyota dealer as soon as possi-

ble. The system may not work properly in an accident.

●The system requires about 10 seconds to alternate between turning the

front passenger front and side air bags and seat belt pretensioner system on

or off.

●The front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light may turn on repeat-

edly if luggage or other items are put on the front passenger seat, or if the

temperature of the vehicle’s interior changes suddenly.

●The front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light may turn on for 10

seconds if the electrostatic capacity on the front passenger seat changes.

●The air bag/front seat belt pretensioner system warning light might turn on if

the front passenger seat receives a severe impact.

●If the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does not turn on

after installing a child-restraint system on the front passenger seat, first, re-

install your child-restraint system according to the procedure in this owner’s

manual. Then, if the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light still

does not turn on, install the child-restraint system on the rear seat and con-

sult your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

●If the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light turns on when an

occupant is seated directly in the front passenger seat, have the passenger

re-adjust their posture by sitting with their feet on the floor, and then re-fas-

tening the seat belt. If the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light

remains turned on, move the passenger to the rear seat. If sitting in the rear

seat is not possible, slide the front passenger seat as far back as possible.

Consult your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

WARNING

■Do not allow an occupant in the front passenger’s seat to sit with a

posture which makes it difficult for the front passenger occupant clas-

sification sensor to detect the occupant correctly

Sitting in the front passenger’s seat with a posture which makes it difficult

for the front passenger occupant classification sensor to detect the occu-

pant correctly is dangerous. If the front passenger occupant classification

sensor cannot detect the occupant sitting on the front passenger’s seat cor-

rectly, the front passenger front and side air bags and pretensioner system

may not operate (deploy) or they may operate (deploy) accidentally. The

front passenger will not have the supplementary protection of the air bags or

the accidental operation (deployment) of the air bags could result in serious

injury or death. Under the following conditions, the front passenger occu-

pant classification sensor cannot detect a passenger sitting on the front

passenger’s seat correctly and the deployment/non-deployment of the air

bags cannot be controlled as indicated in the front passenger air bag deac-

tivation indicator light on/off condition chart. For example:

1

●A front passenger is seated as shown in the following figure:

●A rear passenger pushes up on the front passenger seat with their feet.

●Luggage or other items placed under the front passenger seat or between

the front passenger seat and driver seat that push up the front passenger

seat bottom.

●An object, such as a seat cushion, is put on the front passenger’s seat or

between the passenger’s back and the seatback.
