The owner or a qualified service technician should make these vehicle
inspections at the indicated intervals to ensure safe and dependable
operation.
Bring any problem to the attention of your Toyota dealer or qualified
service technician as soon as possible.

●Brake and clutch fluid level ( →P. 434)
● Engine coolant level ( →P. 431)
● Engine oil level ( →P. 430)
● Washer fluid level ( →P. 435)
■At Least Monthly
Tire inflation pressures ( →P. 446)
■At Least Twice a Year (For Example, Every Spring and Fall)
You can do the following scheduled maintenance items if you have
some mechanical ability and a few basic tools and if you closely fol-
low the directions in this manual.
● Engine coolant ( →P. 431)
● Engine oil ( →P. 429)
Improper or incomplete service may result in problems. This sec-
tion gives instructions only for items that are easy to perform.
As explained in the Introduction ( →P. 418), several procedures can
be done only by a qualified service technician with special tools.
Improper owner maintenance during the warranty period may affect
warranty coverage. Refer to Introduction ( →P. 418) for owner’s
responsibility in protecting your investment. For details, read the
separate Toyota Warranty and Maintenance Guide provided with
the vehicle. If you are unsure about any servicing or maintenance
procedure, have it done by your Toyota dealer.
There are strict environmental laws regarding the disposal of waste
oil and fluids. Please dispose of your waste properly and with due
regard to the environment.
We recommend that you entrust the oil and fluid changes of your

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.

4966-2. Flat Tire
YARIS_SEDAN_OM_OM99M18z_(U)
WARNING
■Make sure the mounting surfaces of the wheel, hub and lug nuts
are clean before changing or replacing tires
When changing or replacing a tire, not removing dirt and grime from the
mounting surfaces of the wheel, hub and hub bolts is dangerous. The
lug nuts could loosen while driving and cause the tire to come off, result-
ing in an accident.
■Do not apply oil or grease to lug nuts and bolts and do not tighten
the lug nuts beyond the recommended tightening torque
Applying oil or grease to lug nuts and bolts is dangerous. The lug nuts
could loosen while driving and cause the tire to come off, resulting in an
accident. In addition, lug nuts and bolts could be damaged if tightened
more than necessary.
■Always securely and correctly tighten the lug nuts
Improperly or loosely tightened lug nuts are dangerous. The wheel
could wobble or come off. This could result in loss of vehicle control and
cause a serious accident.
■Be sure to reinstall the same nuts you removed or replace them
with metric nuts of the same configuration
Because the wheel studs and lug nuts on your Toyota have metric
threads, using a non-metric nut is dangerous. On a metric stud, it would
not secure the wheel and would damage the stud, which could cause
the wheel to slip off and cause an accident.
■Do not drive with any tires that have incorrect air pressure
Driving on tires with incorrect air pressure is dangerous. Tires with
incorrect pressure could affect handling and result in an accident. When
you check the regular tires’ air pressure, check the spare tire, too.

5086-7. Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds
YARIS_SEDAN_OM_OM99M18z_(U)
Electronic Brake Force Distribution System WarningIf the electronic brake force distribution control unit deter-
mines that some components are operating incorrectly,
the control unit may illuminate the brake system warning
light and the ABS warning light simultaneously. The prob-
lem is likely to be the electronic brake force distribution
system.
Charging System Warning Light
If the warning light illuminates while driving, it indicates a
malfunction of the alternator or of the charging system.
Drive to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way.
Consult your Toyota dealer.
Do not continue driving when the charging system warning
light is illuminated because the engine could stop unex-
pectedly.
Engine Oil Warning LightThis warning light indicates low engine oil pressure.
Do not run the engine if the oil pressure is low. Otherwise,
it could result in extensive engine damage.
If the light illuminates or the warning indication is dis-
played while driving:
Drive to the side of the road and park off the right-of-
way on level ground.
Turn off the engine and wait 5 minutes for the oil to
drain back into the oil pan.
Inspect the engine oil level P. 430. If it’s low, add the
appropriate amount of engine oil while being careful
not to overfill.
Do not run the engine if the oil level is low. Otherwise, it
could result in extensive engine damage. Start the engine and check the warning light.
If the light remains illuminated even though the oil level is
normal or after adding oil, stop the engine immediately
and have your vehicle towed to your Toyota dealer.
