NOTICE
■Hybrid battery (traction battery) air intake vent
● Do not get water or foreign materials in the air intake vent as this may
cause a short circuit and damage the hybrid battery (traction battery).
● Do not carry large amounts of water such as water cooler bottles in the
vehicle. If water spills onto the hybrid battery (traction battery), the battery
may be damaged. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
● There is a filter installed to the air intake vent. When the filter remains
noticeably dirty even after cleaning the air intake vent, filter cleaning or
replacement is recommended. For information regarding filter cleaning or
replacement, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
● Vehicles with color display: If “Maintenance required for Traction battery
cooling parts. See owner’s manual.” is shown on the multi-information dis-
play, the air intake vent and filter may be clogged. Refer to P. 420 for infor-
mation on how to clean the air intake vent.
● Do not place objects that will block the
air intake vent. When the air intake vent
is blocked, the battery operations will be
restricted and cause a decline in fuel
consumption.
● Clean the air intake vent regularly to
prevent the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) from overheating.

3946-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
YARIS_HV_OM_Europe_OM52J66E
■ Outside/recirculated air mode
● When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set the out-
side/recirculated air mode button to the recirculated air mode. This is effec-
tive in preventing outside air from entering the vehicle interior. During
cooling operation, setting the recirculat ed air mode will also cool the vehicle
interior effectively.
● Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the
temperature setting or the inside temperature.
■ When the outside temperature falls to nearly 0°C (32°F)
The dehumidification function may not operate even when is pressed.
■ When the indicator light on goes off by itself
Press to turn off the dehumidification function and turn it on again.
There may be a problem in the air condi tioning system if the indicator light
goes off again. Turn the air conditioning system off and have it inspected by
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
■ Ventilation and air conditioning odors
● To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning system to the outside air mode.
● During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into
and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause odor to
be emitted from the vents.
● To reduce potential odors from occurring:
• It is recommended that the air conditioning system be set to outside air
mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
• The start timing of the blower may be delayed for a short period of time
immediately after the air conditioning system is started in AUTO mode.
■ Air conditioning filter
 P. 474
■ Customization
The air conditioning control of Eco drive mode can be changed to the same
setting as that used in normal drive mode.

Start the hybrid system and make sure that the go to service warn-
ing light (vehicles with monochrome display) or “Maintenance
required for Traction battery cooling parts. See owner’s manual.” on
the multi-information display (vehicles with color display) turns off.
Vehicles with monochrome display
It may take up to 20 minutes for the light to turns off, after the hybrid
system is started. If the light does not turns off, even though the fil-
ter is clean, consult any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Vehicles with color display
It may take up to 20 minutes for the message to turns off, after the
hybrid system is started. If the message does not turns off, even
though the filter is clean, consult any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■ Caring for leather areas
Toyota recommends cleaning the interior of the vehicle at least twice a year to
maintain the quality of the vehicle’s interior.
■ Shampooing the carpets
There are several commercial foaming-type cleaners available. Use a sponge
or brush to apply the foam. Rub in overlapping circles. Do not use water.
Wipe dirty surfaces and let them dry. Excellent results are obtained by keep-
ing the carpet as dry as possible.
■ Seat belts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water using a cloth or sponge. Also
check the belts periodically for excessive wear, fraying or cuts.

4247-1. Maintenance and care
YARIS_HV_OM_Europe_OM52J66E
■ Maintenance for air intake vent for cooling the hybrid battery (traction
battery)
● When the vehicle is continuously driven with the air intake vent blocked, the
traction battery may overheat and cause a decline in fuel consumption.
● The cleaning time for air intake vent differs depending on the driving envi-
ronment, etc.
■ Cleaning the cooling air intake vent
● If there are any uncertainties with cleaning the filter, consult any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. Han-
dling mistakes may lead to the cover or filter becoming damaged.
● When the vehicle is continuously driven with the filter clogged, the traction
battery may overheat which could lead to a decline in fuel consumption and
a breakdown.
● The cleaning time for filter differs depending on the driving environment, etc.
■ When the go to service warning light turns on (vehicles with mono-
chrome display) or “Maintenance re quired for Traction battery cooling
parts. See owner’s manual.” is displayed on the multi-information dis-
play (vehicles with color display)
● It is possible the air intake vent or filter is clogged due to accumulated dust.
Clean the air intake vent and filter, referring to the cleaning method.
● When continuously driven in this state, the hybrid battery (traction battery)
may overheat, which may lead to the driving distance by the electric motor
getting shorter, the fuel consumption worsening, and causing damage.
Clean the air intake vent periodically to prevent dust, etc., from collecting in
the air intake vent or filter.
● If the go to service warning light (vehicles with monochrome display) or the
display message in the Multi-Informat ion display (vehicles with color dis-
play) does not turn off, even if the air intake vent is cleaned, have the vehi-
cle inspected at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer.

WARNING
■Water in the vehicle
● Do not splash or spill liquid in the vehicle, such as on the floor, in the
hybrid battery (traction battery) air vents, and in the rear seat. Doing so
may cause the hybrid battery, electrical components, etc., to malfunction
or catch fire.
● Do not get any of the SRS components or wiring in the vehicle interior wet.
( P. 44)
An electrical malfunction may cause the airbags to deploy or not function
properly, resulting in death or serious injury.
■ Cleaning the interior (especially instrument panel)
Do not use polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel may reflect
off the windshield, obstructing the driver’s view and leading to an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.
■ When doing maintenance on the cooling air intake vent and filter for
the hybrid battery (traction battery)
● Do not clean using water or any liquids. If the hybrid battery gets wet, there
is a danger of the battery being damaged leading to a vehicle fire.
● When removing the lower rear seat cover (left side), be sure to turn the
power switch OFF and stop the hybrid system.

4327-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
YARIS_HV_OM_Europe_OM52J66E
NOTICE
■If you remove the air cleaner filter
Driving with the air cleaner filter removed may cause excessive engine wear
due to dirt in the air.
■ If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads
wear or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.
If the reservoir needs frequent refilling, it may indicate a serious problem.
