When driving
AYGO_WE_99E96E
CAUTION
Do not shift the shift lever to R while the vehicle is moving forward.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
Do not shift the shift lever to E or M (vehicles with a multi-mode manual
transmission), or 1 (vehicles with a manual transmission) while the vehicle
is moving backward.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
Moving the shift lever to N while the vehicle is moving will disengage the
engine from the transmission. Engine braking is not available when N is
selected.
During normal driving, do not turn off the engine. Turning the engine off
while driving will not cause loss of steering or braking control, but the
power assist to these systems will be lost. This will make it more difficult to
steer and brake, so you should pull over and stop the vehicle as soon as it
is safe to do so.
However, in the event of an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible
to stop the vehicle in the normal way: P. 341
Use engine braking (downshift) to maintain a safe speed when driving
down a steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose
effectiveness. (P. 133, 138)
When stopped on an inclined surface, use the brake pedal and parking
brake to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward or forward and causing
an accident.
Do not adjust the positions of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or
outside rear view mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control that can cause accidents,
resulting in death or serious injury.
Always check that all passengers’ arms, heads or other parts of their body
are not outside the vehicle, as this may result in death or serious injury.

128 2-1. Driving procedures
AYGO_WE_99E96E
NOTICE
When driving the vehicle
Vehicles with a multi-mode manual transmission
Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time during
driving. If the brake pedal is depressed while driving with the accelerator
pedal depressed, driving torque may be restrained.
Do not use the accelerator pedal or starting assist system to hold the vehi-
cle on a hill.
Doing so may damage the clutch.
Vehicles with a manual transmission
Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time during
driving. If the brake pedal is depressed while driving with the accelerator
pedal depressed, driving torque may be restrained.
Do not shift gears unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed. After shifting,
do not release the clutch pedal abruptly. Doing so may damage the clutch,
transmission and gears.
Observe the following to prevent the clutch from being damaged.
• Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving.
Doing so may cause clutch trouble.
• Do not use any gears other than the 1st gear when starting off and
moving forward.
Doing so may damage the clutch.
• Do not use the clutch to hold the vehicle when stopping on an uphill
grade.
Doing so may damage the clutch.
Do not shift the shift lever to R when the vehicle is still moving. Doing so
may damage the clutch, transmission and gears.
Avoiding damage to vehicle parts
Do not turn the steering wheel fully in either direction and hold it there for
an extended period of time.
Doing so may damage the power steering motor.
When driving over bumps in the road, drive as slowly as possible to avoid
damaging the wheels, underside of the vehicle, etc.

2-4. Using other driving systems
Driving assist systems
When the VSC/TRC systems are operating
The slip indicator light flashes to
indicate that the VSC/TRC sys-
tems are operating.
To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following sys-
tems operate automatically in response to various driving situations.
Be aware, however, that these systems are supplementary and
should not be relied upon too heavily when operating the vehicle.
ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or if
the brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface.
Brake assist
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal is
depressed when the system detects a panic stop situation.
VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) (if equipped)
Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning
on slippery road surfaces.
TRC (Traction Control) (if equipped)
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the drive wheels from spin-
ning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads.
EPS (Electric Power Steering) (if equipped)
Employs an electric motor to reduce the amount of effort needed to turn
the steering wheel.

When trouble arises
AYGO_WE_99E96E
CAUTION
Caution while towing
Use extreme caution when towing the vehicle.
Avoid sudden starts or erratic driving maneuvers which place excessive
stress on the emergency towing eyelets and the cables or chains. Always
be cautious of the surroundings and other vehicles while towing.
If the engine is not running, the power assist for the brakes and steering
will not function, making steering and braking more difficult.
Installing towing eyelet to the vehicle
Make sure that towing eyelet is installed securely.
If not securely installed, towing eyelet may come loose during towing. This
may lead to accidents that cause serious injury or even death.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the vehicle when towing using a wheel-lift type
truck
Do not tow the vehicle from the rear when the engine switch is in the
“LOCK” position or the key is removed. The steering lock mechanism is
not strong enough to hold the front wheels straight.
When raising the vehicle, ensure adequate ground clearance for towing at
the opposite end of the raised vehicle. Without adequate clearance, the
vehicle could be damaged while being towed.
To prevent body damage when towing with a sling-type truck
Do not tow with a sling-type truck, either from the front or rear.

315 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
AYGO_WE_99E96E
Have the vehicle inspected immediately.
Failure to investigate the cause of the following warnings may lead to
the system operating abnormally and possibly cause an accident.
Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional immedi-
ately.
To prevent the clutch from overheating
Do not use the accelerator pedal or starting assist system to hold the
vehicle on a hill.
On an uphill incline, observe the following whenever possible:
• Maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead and avoid unneces-
sary starting off and stopping.
• Avoid using E mode on an uphill slope. This will help to avoid unneces-
sary gear changes.

317 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
AYGO_WE_99E96E
*1: Driver’s seat belt reminder:
The driver’s seat belt buzzer sounds to alert the driver that his or her seat
belt is not fastened. The buzzer sounds for 30 seconds after the vehicle has
reached a speed of at least 20 km/h (12 mph). Then, if the seat belt is still
unfastened, the buzzer will sound in a different tone for 90 more seconds.
*2: Driver’s and front passenger’s seat belt reminders:
The driver’s and front passenger’s seat belt buzzer sounds to alert the
driver and/or front passenger that their seat belts are not fastened. The
buzzer sounds for 30 seconds after the vehicle has reached a speed of at
least 20 km/h (12 mph). Then, if the seat belt is still unfastened, the buzzer
will sound in a different tone for 90 more seconds.
Front passenger detection sensor and front passenger seat belt
reminder
If luggage is placed on the front passenger seat, the front passenger
detection sensor may cause the warning light to flash even if a front pas-
senger is not sitting in the seat.
If a cushion is placed on the seat, the sensor may not detect a front pas-
senger, and the warning light may not operate properly.
Electric power steering system warning light
When the battery charge becomes insufficient or the voltage temporarily
drops, the electric power steering system warning light may come on.
If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while driving
For some models, the malfunction indicator lamp will come on if the fuel tank
becomes completely empty. If the fuel tank is empty, refuel the vehicle
immediately. The malfunction indicator lamp will go off after several trips.
If the malfunction indicator lamp does not go off, contact any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional, as soon as possible.
CAUTION
When the electric power steering system warning light comes on
The steering wheel may become extremely heavy.
If the steering wheel becomes heavier than usual when operating, hold
firmly and operate using more force than usual.
