Toyota Yaris: How the SRS Air Bags Work / 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.
For more details about air bag
deployment, refer to “SRS Air
Bag Deployment Criteria”

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 classification system.
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...
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 system inflates the side air bag
only on the side in which the
vehicle was hit...
Other information:
Use snow tires on all four wheels
Do not go faster than 75 mph (120 km/h) while driving with snow
tires. Inflate snow tires 30 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm2, 4.3 psi) more than recommended on
the tire pressure label (driver’s door frame), but
never more than the maximum cold-tire pressure shown on the
tires...
