4505-3. Owner Maintenance
YARIS_SEDAN_OM_OM99M18z_(U)
Proper tire balancing provides the best riding comfort and helps
reduce tread wear. Out-of-balance tires can cause vibration and
uneven wear, such as cupping and flat spots.
When replacing a wheel, make sure the new one is the same as the orig-
inal factory wheel in diameter, rim width, and offset (inset/outset).
NOTICE
●Do not use your temporary spare tire rim with a snow tire or a conven-
tional tire. Neither will properly fit and could damage both tire and rim.
●The temporary spare tire has a tread life of less than 3,000 miles
(5,000 km). The tread life may be shorter depending on driving condi-
tions.
●The temporary spare tire is for limited use, however, if the tread wear
solid- band indicator appears, replace the tire with the same type of
temporary spare (→P. 450).
Replacing a Wheel
WARNING
■Always use wheels of the correct size on your vehicle
Using a wrong-sized wheel is dangerous. Braking and handling could
be affected, leading to loss of control and an accident.
NOTICE
A wrong-sized wheel may adversely affect:
●Tire fit
●Wheel and bearing life
●Ground clearance
●Snow-chain clearance
●Speedometer calibration
●Headlight aim
●Bumper height
●Tire Pressure Monitoring System (if equipped)

Maintenance and Care
●Prevention
It is necessary to have your Toyota washed and waxed to pre-
serve its finish according to the instructions in this section. This
should be done as soon as possible.
Bird droppings can be removed with a soft sponge and water. If
you are traveling and these are not available, a moistened tissue
may also take care of the problem. The cleaned area should be
waxed according to the instructions in this section.
Insects and tree sap are best removed with a soft sponge and
water or a commercially available chemical cleaner.
Another method is to cover the affected area with dampened
newspaper for one to two hours. After removing the newspaper,
rinse off the loosened debris with water.
■Water Marks
●Occurrence
Rain, fog, dew, and even tap water can contain harmful minerals
such as salt and lime. If moisture containing these minerals set-
tles on the vehicle and evaporates, the minerals will concentrate
and harden to form white rings. The rings can damage your vehi-
cle’s finish.
● Prevention
It is necessary to wash and wax your vehicle to preserve its finish
according to the instructions in this section. These steps should
be taken immediately after you find water marks on your vehi-
cle’s finish.
■Paint Chipping
●Occurrence
Paint chipping occurs when gravel thrown in the air by another
vehicle’s tires hits your vehicle.
● How to avoid paint chipping
Keeping a safe distance between you and the vehicle ahead
reduces the chances of having your paint chipped by flying
gravel.
Follow all label and container directions when using a chemical
cleaner or polish. Read all warnings and cautions.

Maintenance and Care
Clean the webbing with a mild soap solution recommended for uphol-
stery or carpets. Follow instructions. Do not bleach or dye the web-
bing; this may weaken it.
After cleaning the belts, thoroughly dry the belt webbing and make
sure there is no remaining moisture before retracting them.
If the windows become covered with an oily, greasy, or waxy film,
clean them with glass cleaner. Follow the directions on the container.
Rubber floor mats should be cleaned with mild soap and water only.
After removing the floor mats for cleaning, always reinstall them
securely. (→P. 129)
Cleaning the Lap/Shoulder Belt Webbing
WARNING
■Have your Toyota dealer replace damaged seat belts immediately
Using damaged seat belts is dangerous. In a collision, damaged belts can-
not provide adequate protection.
Cleaning the Window Interiors
NOTICE
●Do not scrape or scratch the inside of the window glass. It could damage
the thermal filaments.
● When washing the inside of the window glass, use a soft cloth dampened
in lukewarm water, gently wiping the thermal filaments.
Use of glass cleaning products could damage the thermal filaments.
Cleaning the Floor Mats
WARNING
■Do not use rubber cleaners, such as tire cleaner or tire shine, when
cleaning rubber floor mats
Cleaning the rubber floor mats with rubber cleaning products makes the
floor mats slippery.
This may cause an accident when depressing the accelerator, brake, or
clutch (Manual transaxle) pedal or when getting in or out of the vehicle.

YARIS_SEDAN_OM_OM99M18z_(U)NOTICE
●When using the temporary spare tire, driving stability may decrease
compared to when using only the conventional tire. Drive carefully.
●To avoid damage to the temporary spare tire or to the vehicle, observe
the following precautions:
• Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
• Avoid driving over obstacles. Also, do not drive through an auto-
matic car wash. This tire’s diameter is smaller than a conventional
tire, so the ground clearance is reduced.

• Do not use your temporary spare tire on any other vehicle, it has been designed only for your Toyota.
• Use only one temporary spare tire on your vehicle at the same time.

ing brake.
Put a vehicle with an automatic transaxle in Park (P), a manual
transaxle in Reverse (R) or 1, and turn off the engine.
Turn on the hazard warning flasher.
Have everyone get out of the vehicle and away from the vehicle
and traffic.

Block the wheel diagonally
opposite the flat tire. When
blocking a wheel, place a tire
block both in front and behind
the tire.
●If the following occurs while driving, it could indicate a flat tire.
• Steering becomes difficult.
• The vehicle begins to vibrate excessively.
• The vehicle pulls in one direction.
●Make sure the jack is well lubricated before using it.
●When blocking a tire, use rocks or wood blocks of sufficient size if possi-
ble to hold the tire in place.
If you have a flat tire, drive slowly to a level spot that is well off
the road and out of the way of traffic to change the tire.
Stopping in traffic or on the shoulder of a busy road is danger-
ous.
