822006 YARIS HATCHBACK from Aug. ’05 Prod. (OM52703U)
The “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light should
be illuminated when the ignition key is in
the “ON” position and the child is in the
child restraint system after following these
procedures. The “AIRBAG OFF” indicator
light indicates the SRS front passenger
airbag and side airbag on the passenger
side will not deploy. If the “AIRBAG ON”
indicator light is illuminated, do the follow-
ing procedure:1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Remove the child restraint system.
3. When reinstalling a child restraint sys- tem, make sure the seatback does not
press the child restraint system into
the seat cushion. If this occurs, adjust
the seatback angle slightly.
4. Then make sure the head restraint is not pressing the child restraint system
into the seat cushion. If this occurs,
raise the head restraint.
5. Turn the ignition on again. The “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light should
be illuminated. If the “AIRBAG ON” indica-
tor light is illuminated when the ignition
key is turned to the “ON” position, then
the SRS front passenger airbag and side
airbag on the passenger side may deploy
in an accident. Do not drive the vehicle
in this condition. Remove the child re-
straint system and contact your Toyota
dealer.
CAUTION
Never install a rearfacing child
restraint system on the front
passenger seat. A forwardfacing
child restraint system should only
be installed on the front passenger
seat when unavoidable. If you must
install the child restraint system on
the front passenger seat, put the
seat in its most rearward position,
and install the forwardfacing child
restraint system in the proper
order. Otherwise, the front
passenger occupant classification
system cannot detect the presence
of the child restraint system and
the front passenger airbag and side
airbag on the front passenger seat
could deploy.
PS13561
CAUTION
Split seat: When installing a rear
facing child restraint system in the
rear seat, move the rear seat to the
rearmost lock position to prevent
the child restraint system from in-
terfering with the front seat. Other-
wise, the child restraint system may
not be properly secured. In the
event of an accident, this may
cause death or serious injury.

PS13571
CAUTION
Never install a rearfacing child re-
straint system on the front passen-
ger seat even if the “AIRBAG OFF”
indicator light is illuminated. In the
event of an accident, the force of
the rapid inflation of the front pas-
senger airbag can cause death or
serious injury to the child if the
rearfacing child restraint system is
installed on the front passenger
seat.
PS13572
Move seat
fully back
A forwardfacing child restraint sys-
tem should be allowed to be
installed on the front passenger
seat only when it is unavoidable.
Always move the seat as far back
as possible even if the “AIRBAG
OFF” indicator light is illuminated,
because the front passenger airbag
could inflate with considerable
speed and force. Otherwise, the
child may be killed or seriously in-
jured.
On vehicles with side airbags and
curtain shield airbags, do not allow
the child to lean his/her head or
any part of his/her body against the
door or the area of the seat, front
or rear pillar or roof side rail from
which the side airbags or curtain
shield airbags deploy even if the
child is seated in the child restraint
system. If is dangerous if the side
airbag and curtain shield airbag in-
flate, and the impact could cause
death or serious injury to the child.
