Toyota Yaris: How the SRS Air Bags Work / Side Air Bags

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. The side air bag inflates quickly to reduce injury to the driver or front passenger’s chest caused by directly hitting interior parts such as a door or window.

In addition, the front passenger side air bag is designed to only deploy when the front passenger occupant classification sensor detects a passenger sitting on the front passenger’s seat. For details, refer to the front passenger occupant classification system.
