WARNING
■If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as the ABS and SRS warning light not
come on when you start the engine, this could mean that these systems are
not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result in death
or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional
immediately if this occurs.
NOTICE
■ To prevent damage to the engine and its components
The engine may be overheating if the high engine coolant temperature
warning light flashes or turns on. In this case, immediately stop the vehicle
in a safe place, and check the engine after it has cooled completely.
( P. 493)

1804-1. Before driving
YARIS_F_OM_Europe_OM52J20E
■Important points regarding stability
Vehicle movement resulting from uneven road surfaces and strong
crosswinds will affect handling. The vehicle may also be rocked by
passing buses or large trucks. Frequently check behind when mov-
ing alongside such vehicles. As soon as such vehicle movement
occurs, immediately start to decelerate smoothly by slowly applying
the brakes. Always steer the vehicle straight ahead while braking.
■Passing other vehicles
Consider the total combined length of your vehicle and trailer and
ensure that the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is sufficient before exe-
cuting lane changes.
■Transmission information
Vehicles with a Multidrive
To maintain engine braking efficiency, when using engine braking,
do not use the transmission in D. Transmission shift gear position
must be in 4 in the M mode. ( P. 191)
Vehicles with a manual transmission
To maintain engine braking efficiency, when using engine braking,
do not use the transmission in 5 and 6 (vehicles with a 6-speed
manual transmission) gear. ( P. 197)
■If the engine overheats
Towing a loaded trailer up a long, steep incline in temperatures
exceeding 30 C (85F) may result in the engine overheating. If the
high engine coolant temperature warning light flashes or comes on,
turn the air conditioning off immediately, leave the road and stop
the vehicle in a safe place. ( P. 493)
■When parking the vehicle
Always place wheel chocks under the wheels of both the vehicle
and trailer. Firmly set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to P
for Multidrives or 1 or R for manual transmissions.

are met:
• The engine is adequately warmed up.
• The battery is sufficiently charged.
• The driver’s door is closed.
• The driver’s seat belt is fastened.
• The hood is closed.
• The accelerator pedal is not being depressed.
• Vehicles with a Multidrive: The brake pedal is firmly depressed.
• Vehicles with a Multidrive: The shift lever is not in R.
• Vehicles with a manual transmission: The clutch pedal is not being
depressed.
• Vehicles with a manual transmission: The shift lever is in N.
● In the following circumstances the engine may not be stopped by the Stop &
Start system. This is not a malfunction of the Stop & Start system.
• Engine coolant temperature or transmi ssion fluid temperature is too low
or too high.
• The outside temperature is extremely low.
• The air conditioning system is being used when the outside temperature
is high or low.
• The air conditioning system is being used when the vehicle interior tem-
perature is extremely high such as after the vehicle was parked under the
hot sun.
• Vehicles with an automatic air c onditioning system: The windshield
defogger is being used.
• The battery is not sufficiently charged, or is undergoing a periodic
recharge.
• Due to traffic or other circumstances the vehicle is stopped repeatedly,
resulting in the amount of time the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start
system to become excessively high.
• The driver’s seat belt is unfastened.
• The driver’s door is opened.
• The hood is opened.
• The vehicle is stopped on a steep hill.
• The brake booster vacuum is low.
• A large amount of electricity is being used.
• At high altitude.

• The brake pedal is pumped or strongly depressed.
• The air conditioning system is being used or turned on.
• Vehicles with an automatic air c onditioning system: The windshield
defogger is turned on.
• The battery is not sufficiently charged.

than N or P.
• The accelerator pedal is depressed.
• A large amount of electricity is being used.
• The driver’s door is opened.
• The driver’s seat belt is unfastened.
● In the following situations, it may take longer than normal for the Stop & Start
system to activate.

• After the battery terminals have been disconnected and reconnected
after a battery replacement, etc.
• The engine coolant temperature is low.
■ Automatic reactivation of the Stop & Start system
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system
Even if the Stop & Start system is disabled by the Stop & Start cancel switch,
it will be automatically re-enabled once the engine switch is turned to the
“LOCK” position then to the “START” position.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system
Even if the Stop & Start system is disabled by the Stop & Start cancel switch,

2724-7. Driving tips
YARIS_F_OM_Europe_OM52J20E
Winter driving tips
●Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside tempera-
tures.
• Engine oil
• Engine coolant
• Washer fluid
● Have a service technician inspect the condition of the battery.
● Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set of tire
chains for the front tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same size and brand, and that their wear level
is not noticeably different with each other. Also make sure that chains
match the size of the tires.
Perform the following according to the driving conditions:
● Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is frozen.
Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe away
the water immediately to prevent it from freezing.
● To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan,
remove any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in
front of the windshield.
● Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accu-
mulated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis, around the
tires or on the brakes.
● Remove any snow or mud from the bottom of your shoes before
getting in the vehicle.
Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before
driving the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a man-
ner appropriate to the prevailing weather conditions.

that indicate service is needed. Some important clues are:
● Engine misfire, stumbling or pinging
● Appreciable loss of power
● Strange engine noises
● A fluid leak under the vehicle (However, water dripping from the air condi-
tioning system after use is normal.)
● Change in exhaust sound (This may indicate a dangerous carbon monoxide
leak. Drive with the windows open and have the exhaust system checked
immediately.)
● Flat-looking tires, excessive tire squeal when cornering, uneven tire wear
● Vehicle pulls to one side when driven straight on a level road
● Strange noises related to suspension movement
● Loss of brake effectiveness, spongy feeling brake pedal or clutch pedal
(vehicles with a manual transmission), pedal almost touches the floor, vehi-
cle pulls to one side when braking
● Engine coolant temperature continually higher than normal
If you notice any of these clues, take your vehicle to any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional as
soon as possible. Your vehicle may need adjustment or repair.
