Warning Sound is Activated
The lights-on reminder is operable when the time setting*1 of the auto
headlight off function is off.
If lights are on and the ignition is switched to ACC or the ignition is
switched off, a continuous beep sound will be heard when the driver’s
door is opened.
*1: If the light switch is left on, the auto headlight off function automatically turns off the lights about 30 seconds after switching the ignition off. The
time setting can be changed.
Refer to Customizable Features on P. 572.
● When the ignition is switched to ACC, the “Ignition Not Switched Off (STOP)
Warning Beep” ( →P. 524) overrides the lights-on reminder.
● A personalized function is available to change the sound volume for the
lights- on reminder.
Refer to Customizable Features on P. 572.

If Trouble Arises
If the driver’s seat belt is not fastened when the ignition is switched
ON, a beep sound will be heard for about 6 seconds. If the driver or
the front passenger’s seat belt is not fastened and the vehicle is
driven at a speed faster than about 12 mph (20 km/h), a beep sound
will be heard again for a specified period of time.
Until a seat belt is fastened or a given period of time has elapsed, the
beep sound will not stop even if the vehicle speed falls below 12 mph
(20 km/h).
■Seat Belt Warning Beep
●To allow the front passenger occupant classification sensor to function prop-
erly, do not place and sit on an additional seat cushion on the front passen-
ger’s seat. The sensor may not function properly because the additional
seat cushion could cause sensor interference.
● If a small child is seated on the front passenger’s seat, the warning beep
may not operate.

YARIS_SEDAN_OM_OM99M18z_(U)
If the driver’s door is opened while the ignition is switched to ACC, a
continuous beep sound will be heard to notify the driver that the igni-
tion has not been switched off (STOP). Left in this condition, the key-
less entry system will not operate, the car cannot be locked, and the
battery power will be depleted.
A beep sound will be heard 6 times and the KEY warning light (red)
will flash continuously if the ignition has not been switched off, all the
doors are closed, and the key is removed from the vehicle. This is to
notify the driver that the key has been removed from the vehicle and
the ignition has not been switched off.
Because the key utilizes low-intensity radio waves, the Key Removed From
Vehicle Warning may activate if the key is carried together with a metal object
or it is placed in a poor signal reception area.
The warning beep sound will be heard for about 3 seconds when
there is any abnormality in tire inflation pressures (→P. 218).
If there is the possibility of a collision with a vehicle ahead, the beep
sounds continuously and a warning is indicated in the display.
If the power steering system has a malfunction, the power steering
malfunction light turns on or flashes and the buzzer operates at the
same time.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on P. 156.

Customer Information and Reporting Safety Defects
Add-On Non-Genuine Par ts and Accesso-
ries
Non-genuine parts and accessories for Toyota vehicles can be found
in stores.
These may fit your vehicle, but they are not approved by Toyota for
use with Toyota vehicles. When you install non-genuine parts or
accessories, they could affect your vehicle’s performance or safety
systems; the Toyota warranty doesn’t cover this. Before you install
any non-genuine parts or accessories, consult your Toyota dealer.
Toyota assumes no responsibility for death, injury, or expenses that
may result from the installation of add-on non-genuine parts or acces-
sories.
WARNING
■Always consult your Toyota dealer before you install non-genuine
parts or accessories
Improperly designed parts or accessories could seriously affect your vehi-
cle’s performance or safety systems. This could cause you to have an acci-
dent or increase your chances of injuries in an accident.
■ Be very careful in choosing and inst alling add-on electrical equipment,
such as mobile telephones, two-way radios, stereo systems, and car
alarm systems
Incorrectly choosing or installing improper add-on equipment or choosing
an improper installer is dangerous. Essential systems could be damaged,
causing engine stalling, airbag (SRS) activation, ABS/TCS/DSC inactiva-
tion, or a fire in the vehicle.

Cell Phones War ning
WARNING
■Please comply with the legal regulations concerning the use of com-
munication equipment in vehicles in your country
Use of any electrical devices such as cell phones, computers, portable
radios, vehicle navigation or other devices by the driver while the vehicle is
moving is dangerous. Dialing a number on a cell phone while driving also
ties-up the driver’s hands. Use of these devices will cause the driver to be
distracted and could lead to a serious accident. If a passenger is unable to
use the device, pull off the right-of-way to a safe area before use.
If use of a cell phone is necessary despite this warning, use a hands-free
system to at least leave the hands free to drive the vehicle. Never use a cell
phone or other electrical devices while the vehicle is moving and, instead,
concentrate on the full-time job of driving.

7-6. Uniform Tire Quality Grading System (UTQGS)
Unifor m Tire Quality Grading System
(UTQGS)
This information relates to the tire grading system developed by the
U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for grading tires
by tread wear, traction, and temperature performance.
The tread wear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate
of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified gov-
ernment test course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one-and-a-half times as
well on the government course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions
of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm
because of variations in driving habits, service practices and differ-
ences in road characteristics and climate.
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C.
These grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as
measured under controlled conditions on specified government test
surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor
traction performance.
Tread Wear
Traction-AA, A, B, C
WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight
ahead) traction tests and does not include acceleration cornering (turn-
ing), hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.

5397-6. Uniform Tire Quality Grading System (UTQGS)
7
Customer Information and Reporting Safety Defects
The temperature grades A (the highest), B, and C, represent the tire’s
resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor labora-
tory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperatures can lead
to sudden tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger
vehicle tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance
on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
These grades will be added to the sidewalls of passenger vehicle tires
over the next several years according to a schedule established by
the NHTSA and the tire manufacturers.
The grade of tires available as standard or optional equipment on
Toyota vehicles may vary with respect to grade.
ALL PASSENGER VEHICLE TIRES MUST CONFORM TO THESE
GRADES AND TO ALL OTHER FEDERAL TIRE-SAFETY REQUIRE-
MENTS.
Temperature-A, B, C
WARNING
■Keep your vehicle’s tires properly inflated and not overloaded
Driving with improperly inflated or overloaded tires is dangerous. Exces-
sive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in
combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure. The tem-
perature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly
inflated and not overloaded.
