WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■Before driving
●Make sure that the back door is fully closed. If the back door is not fully
closed, it may open unexpectedly while driving and hit near-by objects or
luggage in the luggage compartment may be thrown out, causing an acci-
dent.
● Do not allow children to play in the luggage compartment.
If a child is accidentally locked in the luggage compartment, they could
have heat exhaustion or other injuries.
● Do not allow a child to open or close the back door.
Doing so may cause the back door to open unexpectedly, or cause the
child’s hands, head, or neck to be caught by the closing back door.
■ Important points while driving
●Keep the back door closed while driving.
If the back door is left open, it may hit near-by objects or luggage in the
luggage compartment may be thrown out, causing an accident.

braking or a collision, they are susceptible to death or serious injury.

YARIS_HB_OM_USA_OM52G64U
WARNING
■Operating the back door
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in death
or serious injury.
●Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the back door
before opening it. Failure to do so may cause the back door to suddenly
shut again after it is opened.
● When opening or closing the back door, thoroughly check to make sure
the surrounding area is safe.
● If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that
the back door is about to open or close.
● Use caution when opening or closing the back door in windy weather as it
may move abruptly in strong wind.
● Do not pull on the back door damper stay to close the back door, and do
not hang on the back door damper stay.
Doing so may cause hands to be caught or the back door damper stay to
break, causing an accident.
● If a bicycle carrier or similar heavy object is attached to the back door, it
may suddenly shut again after being opened, causing someone’s hands,
head or neck to be caught and injured. When installing an accessory part
to the back door, using a genuine Toyota part is recommended.
●The back door may suddenly shut if it is
not opened fully. It is more difficult to
open or close the back door on an
incline than on a level surface, so
beware of the back door unexpectedly
opening or closing by itself. Make sure
that the back door is fully open and
secure before using the luggage com-
partment.
● When closing the back door, take extra
care to prevent your fingers, etc., from
being caught.
● When closing the back door, make sure
to press it lightly on its outer surface. If
the back door handle is used to fully
close the back door, it may result in
hands or arms being caught.

Getting in or out the vehicle
For easy access to the rear seat, use the seatback lock release
lever or seatback angle adjustment lever. When the seatback lock
release lever or seatback angle adjustment lever is used, the seat’s
original position is memorized, so the seat may be returned to that
original position. The seatback will be returned to the fully upright
position.
Lift the seatback lock release
lever or seatback angle adjust-
ment lever.
The seatback will fold forward,
and the seat’s slide lock will be
released.
Move the seat all the way for-
ward.
■
Seat slide position memory function (3-door models only)
Slide the seat backward and then lift the seatback. The seat will be set and
locked to its previous slide position automatically, and the seatback will be
returned to the fully upright position.
In the following situations, the seat slide position memory will not be saved or
will be overwritten.
●The seatback is lifted upright at a slide position farther forward than the
memorized position.
● The seat slide position is memorized when the seat is slid all the way or
nearly all the way forward.
● The seat is slid farther back than the memorized position by using the seat
position adjustment lever.
■ If the seat cannot be returned to the memorized slide position
Lift the seatback lock release lever or seatback angle adjustment lever after
removing the luggage, or after having the passenger get out or sit properly so
that the seat can be slid back to the previous position.

1003-3. Adjusting the seats
YARIS_HB_OM_USA_OM52G64U
WARNING
■When adjusting the seat position
●Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passen-
gers are not injured by the moving seat.
● Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid
injury.
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.
■ Seat adjustment
●Be careful that the seat does not hit passenger or luggage.
● To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not
recline the seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply
restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the
shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of
an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpect-
edly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
● After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in position.
● Never allow anyone to touch seatback lock release levers while the vehi-
cle is moving.
● If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are clear of the seat back path
and let them know that the seat is about to move.
■ After returning the seatback to the upright position
Make sure the seatback is securely locked by pushing it forward and rear-
ward. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent the seat lock mechanism malfunction
Do not use the seatback angle adjustment lever and seatback lock release
lever at the same time. If they are used together, the seat lock mechanism
may be damaged.

WARNING
■When folding the rear seatbacks down
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●Do not fold the seatbacks down while driving.
● Stop the vehicle on level ground, set the parking brake and shift the shift
lever to P (automatic transmission) or N (manual transmission).
● Do not allow anyone to sit on a folded seatback or in the luggage compart-
ment while driving.
● Do not allow children to enter the luggage compartment.
● Do not allow anyone to sit on the rear center seat if the rear right seat is
folded down, as the seat belt buckle for the rear center seat belt is then
concealed under the folded seat and cannot be used.
● Be careful not to catch your hand when folding the rear seatbacks.
● If it is necessary to detach the head restraints, remove it from the vehicle
or store it securely in the luggage compartment. This will prevent it from
injuring passengers in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an
accident.
● Depending on the position of the front seat, it may interfere when trying to
fold down the rear seatbacks. If this happens, adjust the position of the
front seat.
