WARNING
1-1. Seats
Seat Precautions
When returning a rear seat to its original position, place the seat belt
in its normal position. Verify that the seat belt pulls out and retracts.
■ Make sure the adjustable components of a seat are locked in place
Adjustable seats and seatbacks that are not securely locked are dangerous.
In a sudden stop or collision, the seat or seatback could move, causing
injury. Make sure the adjustable components of the seat are locked in place
by attempting to slide the seat forward and backward and rocking the seatback.
■ Never allow children to adjust a seat
Allowing children to adjust a seat is dangerous as it could result in serious
injury if a child’s hands or feet become caught in the seat.
■ Do not drive with the seatback unlocked
All of the seatbacks play an important role in your protection in a vehicle.
Leaving the seatback unlocked is dangerous as it can allow passengers to
be ejected or thrown around and baggage to strike occupants in a sudden
stop or collision, resulting in severe injury. After adjusting the seatback at
any time, even when there are no other passengers, rock the seatback to
make sure it is locked in place.
■ Adjust a seat only when the vehicle is stopped
If the seat is adjusted while the vehicle is being driven, the seating posture
may become unstable and the seat could move unexpectedly resulting in
injury.
■ Do not modify or replace the front seats
Modifying or replacing the front seats such as replacing the upholstery or
loosening any bolts is dangerous. The front seats contain air bag components essential to the supplemental restraint system. Such modifications
could damage the supplemental restraint system and result in serious injury.
Consult your Toyota dealer if there is any need to remove or reinstall the
front seats.
■ Do not drive with damaged front seats
Driving with damaged front seats, such as seat cushions torn or damaged
down to the urethane, is dangerous. A collision, even one not strong
enough to inflate the air bags, could damage the front seats which contain
essential air bag components. If there was a subsequent collision, an air
bag may not deploy which could lead to injuries. Always have your Toyota
dealer inspect the front seats, front seat belt pretensioners and air bags
after a collision.
YARIS_YARIS HATCHBACK_OM_OM99V59z_(U)
1-1. Seats
WARNING
■ Do not drive with either front seats reclined
Sitting in a reclined position while the vehicle is moving is dangerous
because you do not get the full protection from seat belts. During sudden
braking or a collision, you can slide under the lap belt and suffer serious
injuries. For maximum protection, sit well back and upright.
■ Do not place an object such as a cushion between the seatback and
your back
Putting an object such as a cushion between the seatback and your back is
dangerous because you will be unable to maintain a safe driving posture
and the seat belt cannot function at its full capacity in a collision, which
could result in a serious accident, injury or death.
■ Do not place objects under the seat
The object could get stuck and cause the seat to not be fixed securely, and
result in an accident.
■ Do not stack cargo higher than the seatbacks
Stacking luggage or other cargo higher than the seatbacks is dangerous.
During sudden braking or a collision, objects can fly around and become
projectiles that may hit and injure passengers.
■ Make sure luggage and cargo is secured before driving
Not securing cargo while driving is dangerous as it could move or be
crushed during sudden braking or a collision and cause injury.
■ Never allow a passenger to sit or stand on the folded seatback while
the vehicle is moving
Driving with a passenger on the folded seatback is dangerous. Allowing a
child to sit up on the folded seatback while the vehicle is moving is particularly dangerous. In a sudden stop or even a minor collision, a child not in a
proper seat or child-restraint system and seat belt could be thrown forward,
back or even out of the vehicle resulting in serious injuries or death. The
child in the baggage area could be thrown into other occupants and cause
serious injury.
■ Never give the car keys to children and do not allow them to play in the
vehicle
Playing with the folding rear seats is dangerous. Once the seatbacks are
back up, a child in the trunk would not be able to get out the way they had
entered. If you have small children, keep the seatbacks locked.

WARNING
NOTICE
1-1. Seats
■ Always leave your car locked and keep the car keys safely away from
children
Leaving your car unlocked or the keys in reach of children is dangerous.
Children who find their way into the trunk through an unlocked rear seatback or an open trunk can become accidentally locked in the trunk. This
could result in death or brain damage from heat prostration, particularly in
the summer. Always lock the doors and the trunk, and as an added measure, keep the rear seatbacks locked, whether you have children in your
home or not.
■ When operating a seat
● When operating a seat, be careful not to put your hands or fingers near the
moving parts of the seat or on the side trim to prevent injury.
● When moving the seats forward and rearward or returning a rear-reclined
seatback to its upright position, make sure you hold onto the seatback with
your hand while operating. If the seatback is not held, the seat will move
suddenly and could cause injury.
● When inserting your hand under the seat to clean the cabin or pick up
something you dropped under the seat, be careful not to hurt yourself. If
you contact the moving parts of the seat rail or seat frame, it could result in
injury.
When moving the seats, make sure there is no cargo in the surrounding
area. If the cargo gets caught it could damage the cargo.

● Use the seat warmer when the engine is running. Leaving the seat warmer
on for long periods with the engine not running could cause the battery
power to be depleted.
● The temperature of the seat warmer cannot be adjusted beyond High, Mid
and Low because the seat warmer is controlled by a thermostat.
■ Be careful when using the seat warmer
The heat from the seat warmer may be too hot for some people, as indicated below, and could cause a low-temperature burn.
● Infants, small babies, elderly people, and physically challenged people
● People with delicate skin
● People who are excessively fatigued
● People who are intoxicated
● People who have taken sleep-inducing medicine such as sleeping pills or
cold medicine

WARNING

Rear Seat
Split Folding the Seatback
By lowering the rear seatbacks the luggage compartment space can
be expanded.
■ Do not drive the vehicle with occupants on folded down seatbacks or
in the luggage compartment.
Putting occupants in the luggage compartment is dangerous because seat
belts cannot be fastened which could lead to serious injury or death during
sudden braking or a collision.
■ Do not allow children to play inside the vehicle with the seatbacks low-
ered.
Allowing children to play in the vehicle with the seatbacks folded down is
dangerous. If a child enters the luggage compartment and the seatbacks
were raised back up, the child may become trapped in the luggage compartment which could lead to an accident.
■ Tightly secure cargo in the luggage compartment when it is trans-
ported with the seatbacks folded down.
Driving without tightly securing cargo and luggage is dangerous as it could
move and become an obstruction to driving during emergency braking or a
collision resulting in an unexpected accident.
■ When transporting cargo, do not allow the cargo to exceed the height
of the seatbacks.
Transporting cargo stacked higher than the seatbacks is dangerous as visibility to the rear and sides of the vehicle is reduced which could interfere
with driving operations and lead to an accident.
