If, for any reason, the passenger airbag has been deactivated, you can reactivate it instantly using the designated switch. First, park the car and have the physical key (the metal blade, not just the remote) ready, as it is needed to reactivate the airbag.

Open the passenger door and locate the airbag switch. Once found, insert the key and turn the switch to ON to reactivate the airbag.

To deactivate it, simply do the same but turn it to OFF.

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
