WARNING
■Do not use a match or live flame in the engine compartment. DO NOT
ADD COOLANT WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT
A hot engine is dangerous. If the engine has been running, parts of the
engine compartment can become very hot. You could be burned. Carefully
inspect the engine coolant in the coolant reservoir, but do not open it.
■ Switch the ignition to off and make sure the fan is not running
before attempting to work near the cooling fan
Working near the cooling fan when it is running is dangerous. The fan could
continue running indefinitely even if the engine has stopped and the engine
compartment temperature is high. You could be hit by the fan and seriously
injured.
■ Do not remove either cooling system cap when the engine and
radiator are hot
When the engine and radiator are hot, scalding coolant and steam may
shoot out under pressure and cause serious injury.

Maintenance and Care
NOTICE
●Radiator coolant will damage paint. Rinse it off quickly if spilled.
● Use only soft (deionized) water in the coolant mixture. Water that contains
minerals will cut down on the coolant’s effectiveness.
● Do not add only water. Always add a proper coolant mixture.
● The engine has aluminum parts and must be protected by an ethylene-gly-
col- based coolant to prevent corrosion and freezing.
● DO NOT USE coolants Containing Alcohol, methanol, Borate or Silicate.
These coolants could damage the cooling system.
● DO NOT MIX alcohol or methanol with the coolant. This could damage the
cooling system.
● Do not use a solution that contains more than 60% antifreeze.
This would reduce effectiveness.
● Use of engine coolant specifically designed for the YARIS SEDAN is
required when replacing engine coolant. Using engine coolant that is not
specifically designed for this vehicle may cause serious damage to the
engine and cooling system. For questions on how to obtain this specially
designed coolant, contact your Toyota dealer.

Maintenance and Care
●When cleaning the plastic lenses of the lights, do not use gasoline,
kerosene, rectified spirit, paint, thinner, highly acidic detergents, or
strongly alkaline detergents. Otherwise, these chemical agents can
discolor or damage the surfaces resulting in a significant loss in
functionality. If plastic parts become inadvertently exposed to any of
these chemical agents, flush with water immediately.
● If plastic parts such as the bumpers become inadvertently exposed
to chemical agents or fluids such as gasoline, oil, engine coolant, or
battery fluid, it could cause discoloration, staining, or paint peeling.
Wipe off any such chemical agents or fluids using a soft cloth imme-
diately.
● High water temperature and high water pressure car washers are
available depending on the type of high pressure car washer
device. If the car washer nozzle is put too close to the vehicle or
aimed at one area for an extended period of time, it could deform
plastic parts or damage the paint.
● Do not use wax containing compounds (polish). Otherwise, it could
result in paint damage.
● In addition, do not use an electrical or air tool to apply wax. Other-
wise, the frictional heat generated could result in deformation of
plastic parts or paint damage.
NOTICE
Do not use any detergent other than mild detergent. Before using any deter-
gent, verify the ingredients.
Otherwise, the product could discolor or stain the aluminum wheels.

6-5. Overheating
Overheating
If the high engine coolant temperature warning light illuminates:
Drive safely to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way.
Put a vehicle with an automatic transaxle in park (P), a manual
transaxle in neutral.
Apply the parking brake.
Turn off the air conditioner.
Check whether coolant or steam is escaping from the engine com-
partment.
XIf steam is coming from the engine compartment:
Do not go near the front of the vehicle. Stop the engine.
Wait until the steam dissipates, then open the hood and start the
engine.
XIf neither coolant nor steam is escaping:
Open the hood and idle the engine until it cools.
Make sure the cooling fan is operating, then turn off the engine after
the temperature has decreased.
When cool, check the coolant level.
If it is low, look for coolant leaks from the radiator and hoses.
■If you find a leak or other damage, or if coolant is still leaking:
Stop the engine and call your Toyota dealer.Cooling fan
Cooling system cap
Coolant reservoir
If the high engine coolant temperature warning light illuminates,
the vehicle loses power, or you hear a loud knocking or pinging
noise, the engine is probably too hot.

If Trouble Arises
■If you find no problems, the engine is cool, and no leaks are
obvious:
Carefully add coolant as required (→P. 431).
WARNING
■ Switch the ignition to off and make sure the fan is not running
before attempting to work near the cooling fan
Working near the cooling fan when it is running is dangerous. The fan could
continue running indefinitely even if the engine has stopped and the engine
compartment temperature is high. You could be hit by the fan and seriously
injured.
■ Do not remove either cooling system cap when the engine and
radiator are hot
When the engine and radiator are hot, scalding coolant and steam may
shoot out under pressure and cause serious injury.
■ Open the hood ONLY after steam is no longer escaping from the engine
Steam from an overheated engine is dangerous. The escaping steam could
seriously burn you.
NOTICE
●If the cooling fan does not operate while the engine is running, the engine
temperature will increase. Stop the engine and call your Toyota dealer.
● If the engine continues to overheat or frequently overheats, have the cool-
ing system inspected. The engine could be seriously damaged unless
repairs are made. Consult your Toyota dealer.

If Trouble Arises
(Red)
High Engine Coolant Temperature Warning LightThe light flashes when the engine coolant temperature is
extremely high, and illuminates when the engine coolant
temperature increases further.
Handling Procedure:
Flashing light
Drive slowly to reduce engine load until you can find a
safe place to stop the vehicle and wait for the engine to
cool down.
Illuminated light This indicates the possibility of overheating. Park the vehi-
cle in a safe place immediately and stop the engine.
Refer to Overheating P. 502.
Do not drive the vehicle with the high engine coolant tem-
perature warning light illuminated. Otherwise, it could
result in damage to the engine.
Power Steering Malfunction Indicator Light
The light illuminates/flashes if the electric power steering
has a malfunction.
If the light illuminates/flashes, stop the vehicle in a safe
place and do not operate the steering wheel. There is no
problem if the light turns off after a while. Contact your
Toyota dealer if the light illuminates/flashes continuously.
• If the indicator light illuminates/flashes, the power steer-ing will not operate normally. If this happens, the steer-
ing wheel can still be operated, however, the operation
may feel heavy compared to normal, or the steering
wheel could vibrate when turning.
• Repeatedly jerking the steering wheel left and right while the vehicle is stopped or moving extremely slowly will
cause the power steering system to go into protective
mode which will make the steering feel heavy, but this
does not indicate a problem. If this occurs, park the vehi-
cle safely and wait several minutes for the system to
return to normal.
