Maintenance and Care
WARNING
■Do not perform maintenance work if you lack sufficient knowledge and
experience or the proper tools and equipment to do the work. Have
maintenance work done by a qualified technician
Performing maintenance work on a vehicle is dangerous if not done prop-
erly. You can be seriously injured while performing some maintenance pro-
cedures.
■ If you must run the engine while working under the hood, make certain
that you remove all jewelry (especially rings, bracelets, watches, and
necklaces) and all neckties, scarves, and similar loose clothing before
getting near the engine or cooling fan which may turn on unexpectedly
Working under the hood with the engine running is dangerous. It becomes
even more dangerous when you wear jewelry or loose clothing.
Either can become entangled in moving parts and result in injury.
■ 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 leave items in the engine compartment
After you have finished checking or doing servicing in the engine compart-
ment, do not forget and leave items such as tools or rags in the engine com-
partment.
Tools or other items left in the engine compartment could cause engine
damage or a fire leading to an unexpected accident.

YARIS_SEDAN_OM_OM99M18z_(U)
■Maintaining the Finish
●Toyota is not responsible for scratches caused by automatic car washes or
improper washing.
● Scratches are more noticeable on vehicles with darker paint finishes.
● A spot remover to remove oil, tar, and similar materials will usually also take
off the wax. Rewax these areas even if the rest of the vehicle does not need
it.
WARNING
■Dry off brakes that have become wet by driving slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying the brakes several times until
the brake performance returns to normal
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous. Increased stopping distance or the
vehicle pulling to one side when braking could result in a serious accident.
Light braking will indicate whether the brakes have been affected.
NOTICE
●Do not spray water in the engine compartment. Otherwise, it could result in
engine-starting problems or damage to electrical parts.
● When washing and waxing the vehicle, be careful not to apply excessive
force to any single area of the vehicle.
● Do not use steel wool, abrasive cl eaners, or strong detergents containing
highly alkaline or caustic agents on chrome- plated or anodized aluminum
parts. This may damage the protective coating; also, cleaners and deter-
gents may discolor or deteriorate the paint.

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.

7-3. Cell Phones
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.

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.

5577-7. Tire Information (U.S.A.)
7
Customer Information and Reporting Safety Defects
GCWR (Gross Combination Weight Rating) is the maximum allowable
weight of the vehicle - including all cargo and passengers - that the
vehicle can handle without risking damage. The GCW must never
exceed the GCWR.
WARNING
■Do not tow a trailer with this vehicle
Towing a trailer with this vehicle is dangerous because it has not been
designed to tow a trailer and doing so will affect the drive system which
could result in vehicle damage.
■Overloaded Vehicle
Overloading a vehicle is dangerous. The results of overloading can
have serious consequences in terms of passenger safety. Too much
weight on a vehicle’s suspension system can cause spring or shock
absorber failure, brake failure, handling or steering problems, irregular
tire wear, tire failure or other damage.
Overloading makes a vehicle harder to drive and control. It also
increases the distance required for stopping. In cases of serious over-
loading, brakes can fail completely, particularly on steep grades. The
load a tire will carry safely is a combination of the size of the tire, its load
range, and corresponding inflation pressure.
Never overload the vehicle and always observe the vehicle’s weight rat-
ings from the vehicle’s Safety Certification and Tire and Load Informa-
tion labels.
■Never Exceed Axle Weight Rating Limits
Exceeding the Safety Certification Label axle weight rating limits is dan-
gerous and could result in death or serious injury as a result of substan-
dard vehicle handling, performance, engine, transmission and/or
structural damage, serious damage to the vehicle, or loss of control.
Always keep the vehicle within the axle weight rating limits.
■Never Exceed GVWR or GAWR Specifications
Exceeding the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the certification label is
dangerous. Exceeding any vehicle rating limitation could result in a seri-
ous accident, injury, or damage to the vehicle.
Do not use replacement tires with lower load carrying capacities than
the originals because they may lower the vehicle’s GVWR and GAWR
limitations. Replacement tires with a higher limit than the originals do
not increase the GVWR and GAWR limitations. Never exceed the
GVWR or the GAWR specified on the certification label.
