Toyota Yaris Owner's Manual page 5

In order to be effective, the SRS airbags must deploy
with tremendous speed. The rapid deployment of the
SRS airbags makes the SRS airbags themselves poten-
tial sources of serious injury if an occupant is too close
to an airbag, or if an object or some part of his or her
body has been placed between the occupant and the
airbag at the time of deployment. This is just one exam-
ple of how the instructions in Section 1−3 of this Own-
er's Manual will help ensure proper use of the occupant
restraint systems, and increase the safety they can pro-
vide to you and your family in the event of an accident.
Toyota recommends you to read the provisions in Sec-
tion 1−3 carefully and refer to them as needed during
your time of ownership of this vehicle.
Accessories, spare parts and
modification of your Toyota
A wide variety of non−genuine spare parts and accesso-
ries for Toyota vehicles are currently available in the
market. Using these spare parts and accessories which
are not genuine Toyota products may adversely affect
the safety of your vehicle, even though these parts may
be approved by certain authorities in your country.
Toyota therefore cannot accept any liability or guarantee
spare parts and accessories which are not genuine
Toyota products, nor for replacement or installation in-
volving such parts.
This vehicle should not be modified with non−genuine
Toyota products. Modification with non−genuine Toyota
products could affect its performance, safety or durabili-
ty, and may even violate governmental regulations. In
addition, damage or performance problems resulting from
the modification may not be covered under warranty.
