SEATS
The front seats in Yaris employ an advanced
Whiplash-Injury-Lessening (WIL) design to
help reduce the risk of neck injuries. In certain
rear-end collisions, WIL seatback frames are
engineered to yield in a controlled fashion and
help minimize the motion differential between
the occupant’s head and torso, the primary
cause of whiplash injuries.

pressure of the tires and issues a warning if the pressure becomes critically low.

of safety for the smaller members of your family. LATCH includes lower anchors
on the outboard rear seats and tether anchors on all rear seats.
