the conditions correctly:
Do not place a heavy load on the front
D
passenger seat.

The "AIRBAG ON" and "AIRBAG OFF"
indicator lights indicate the actuation of
the front passenger airbag, side airbag
on the front passenger seat and front
passenger's seat belt pretensioner.
The "AIRBAG ON" and "AIRBAG OFF"
indicator lights will be illuminated ini-
tially when the ignition key is turned to
the "ON" position. After about 4 sec-
onds, they will go off. After that, the
front passenger occupant classification
system operates and judges which indi-
cator light be illuminated.
2007 YARIS HATCHBACK from Feb. '07Prod. (OM52754U)
The "AIRBAG OFF" indicator light will be
illuminated when the ignition switch is in
the "ON" position with the condition 2 in
the table shown below.
If the front passenger occupant classifica-
tion system determines that person of
adult size sits in the front passenger seat
but the "AIRBAG OFF" indicator light is
illuminated, one of the following is likely
to have occurred:
A rear passenger lifts the front passen-
D
ger seat cushion with their legs.
Objects are placed under the front pas-
D
senger seat.
The front passenger seatback is in
D
contact with the rear seat.
To ensure the system correctly detects the
presence or absence of a person of adult
size sitting in the front passenger seat,
make sure that none of the above occur.
