I need to temporarily remove the front passenger seat in my 2013 Yaris. What is the best procedure to follow so as not to damage or trip the SRS system installed on the underside of the seat? I assume I need to disconnect the battery before messing with the wires but is there anything else I should do?

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

As long as you do it without turning the ignition on, there will not be an issue. Unplugging the battery is not a bad idea for safety's sake with the seat mounted airbags, but the SRS system is not powered unless the ignition is on.

If you intend to drive the car with the passenger seat out, you will trigger about 10 error codes for the SRS, which you will then have to manually clear, after reinstalling the seat.
