1-1. For safe use
For safety and security
Adjust the angle of the seatback
so that you are sitting straight up
and so that you do not have to
lean forward to steer. ( →P. 1 1 4 )
Adjust the seat so that you can
depress the pedals fully and so
that your arms bend slightly at
the elbow when gripping the
steering wheel. ( →P. 1 1 4 )
Lock the head restraint in place
with the center of the head
restraint closest to the top of
your ears. ( →P. 1 1 7 )
Wear the seat belt correctly.
( →P. 3 1 )
WARNING
●With the engine stopped and the shift lever in N, fully depress each
pedal to the floor to make sure it does not interfere with the floor mat.
For safe driving
For safe driving, adjust the
seat and mirror to an appropri-
ate position before driving.

1-1. For safe use
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.
●The brakes and stop lights will be con-
trolled automatically. ( →P.220)
●The interior lights will turn on automat-
ically. ( →P.238)
●The emergency flashers will turn on
automatically. ( →P.306)
●Fuel supply to the engine will be
stopped. ( →P.314)
●Vehicles with eCall: If any of the fol-
lowing situations occur, the system is
designed to send an emergency call* to the eCall control 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 automati- cally treats the call as an emergency and helps to dispatch the necessary
emergency services. ( →P.62) • An SRS airbag is deployed.• A seat belt pretensioner is activated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe rear-end collision.*: In some cases, the call cannot be
made. ( →P. 6 4 )
■SRS airbag deployment conditions
(SRS front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy in
the event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approxi-
mately 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be
considerably higher in the following situ- ations:• If the vehicle strikes an object, such
as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which can move or deform on impact• If the vehicle is involved in an under-
ride collision, such as a collision in which the front of the vehicle “under-rides”, or goes under, the bed of a
truck
●Depending on the type of collision, it is
possible that only the seat belt pretensioners will activate.
■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield air-
bags)
●The SRS side and curtain shield air-
bags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding
to the impact force produced by an approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehi-cle colliding with the vehicle cabin
from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orientation at an approximate speed of 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph]).
●Both SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy in the event of a severe
frontal collision.
■Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other than a collision
The SRS front airbags and SRS side and curtain shield airbags may also deploy if a serious impact occurs to the
underside of your vehicle. Some exam- ples are shown in the illustration.
●Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard surface
●Falling into or jumping over a deep hole
●Landing hard or falling

38
YARIS(GR) Owner's Manual_Europe_M52L09_en
1-1. For safe use
●Any of the SRS airbags have been
inflated.
●The front of the vehicle is damaged or
deformed, or was involved in an acci- dent that was not severe enough to cause the SRS front airbags to inflate.
●A portion of a door or its surrounding area is damaged, deformed or has
had a hole made in it, or the vehicle was involved in an accident that was not severe enough to cause the SRS
side and curtain shield airbags to inflate.
●The pad section of the steering wheel or dashboard near the front passen-ger airbag is scratched, cracked, or
otherwise damaged.
●The surface of the seats with the SRS
side airbag is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged.
●The portion of the front pillars, rear pil-
lars or roof side rail garnishes (pad- ding) containing the SRS curtain shield airbags inside is scratched,
cracked, or otherwise damaged.
WARNING
■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 the seat
belts.

1-1. For safe use
For safety and security
WARNING
●The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause
death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the air-bag.
Since the risk zone for the driver’s air-
bag is the first 50 - 75 mm (2 - 3 in.) of
inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10
in.) 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 breast-
bone. If you sit less than 250 mm (10
in.) 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 ped- als comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 250
mm (10 in.) distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward, sim-ply 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 air-bag toward your chest instead of
your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as rec-
ommended above, while still main- taining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the
instrument panel controls.
●The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or seri-
ous injury especially if the front pas- senger is very close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be
as far from the airbag 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 air- bag. An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt should be
properly secured using a child restraint system. 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. 4 5 )
●Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean against the dashboard.
●Do not allow a child to stand in front of the SRS front passenger airbag unit or sit on the knees of a front
passenger.
●Do not allow the front seat occu-
pants to hold items on their knees.

1-1. For safe use
WARNING
●Do not lean against the door, the roof side rail or the front, side and
rear pillars.
●Do not allow anyone to kneel on the
passenger seat toward the door or put their head or hands outside the vehicle.
●Do not attach anything to or lean anything against areas such as the
dashboard or steering wheel pad. These items can become projec-tiles when the SRS driver and front
passenger airbags deploy.
●Do not attach anything to areas such as a door, windshield, side window, front or rear pillar, roof side
rail and assist grip. (Except for the speed limit label →P.329)
●Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side airbags inflate as they may interfere
with inflation of the SRS airbags. Such accessories may prevent the SRS side airbags from activating
correctly, disable the system or cause the SRS side airbags to inflate accidentally, resulting in
death or serious injury.
●Do not strike or apply significant
levels of force to the area of the SRS airbag components or the side doors.
Doing so can cause the SRS air- bags to malfunction.
●Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS air-bags have deployed (inflated) as
they may be hot.
●If breathing becomes difficult after
the SRS airbags have deployed, open a door or window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it
is safe to do so. Wash off any resi- due as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation.

WARNING
●If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering
wheel pad and front and rear pillar garnishes, are damaged or cracked, have them replaced by
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
■Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or per- form any of the following modifica-tions without consulting your Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. The SRS air-bags 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, roof side rails, side door panels, side door trims or side door
speakers
●Modifications to the side door panel
(such as making a hole in it)
●Repairs or modifications of the front
fender, front bumper, or side of the occupant compartment
●Installation of a grille guard (bull bars, kangaroo bar, etc.), snow plows or winches
●Modifications to the vehicle’s sus-pension system
●Installation of electronic devices such as mobile two-way radios (RF-
transmitter) and CD players
Exhaust gas precautions
Harmful substance to the
human body is included in
exhaust gases if inhaled.
WARNING
Exhaust gases include harmful car-
bon monoxide (CO), which is color- less and odorless. Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases enter the vehicle and may lead to an accident caused by light-
headedness, or may lead to death or a serious health hazard.
■Important points while driving
●Keep the back door closed.
●If you smell exhaust gases in the vehicle even when the back door is closed, open the windows and have
the vehicle inspected at any autho- rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer as soon as possible.
■When parking
●If the vehicle is in a poorly venti- lated area or a closed area, such as a garage, stop the engine.
●Do not leave the vehicle with the engine on for a long time.
If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space and ensure that
exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior.
●Do not leave the engine running in an area with snow build-up, or where it is snowing. If snowbanks
build up around the vehicle while the engine is running, exhaust gases may collect and enter the
vehicle.
