2-9. Driving Tips
2
Before Driving
Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tire chains, window scraper, flares, a
small shovel, jumper cables, and a small bag of sand or salt.
Ask your Toyota dealer to check the following:
• Have the proper ratio of ant ifreeze in the radiator.
Refer to Engine Coolant on P. 445.
• Inspect the battery and its cabl es. Cold reduces battery capacity.
• Use an engine oil appropriate for the lowest ambient temperatures that the vehicle w ill be driven in (P. 442).
• Inspect the ignition system for damage and loose connections.
• Use washer fluid made with antifreeze but do not use engine cool-
ant antifreeze for washer fluid ( P. 449).
●Do not use the parking brake in freezing weather as it may freeze. Instead,
shift to 1 or R with a manual transaxle and to P with an automa tic transaxle.
Block the rear wheels.
● Remove snow before driving. Snow left on the windshield is dang erous as it
could obstruct vision.
● Do not apply excessive force to a window scraper when removing ice or fro-
zen snow on the mirror glass and windshield.
● Never use warm or hot water for removing snow or ice from windo ws and
mirrors as it could result in the glass cracking.
● Drive slowly. Braking performance can be adversely affected if snow or ice
adheres to the brake components. If this situation occurs, drive the vehicle
slowly, releasing the accelerator pedal and lightly applying the brakes sev-
eral times until the brake performance returns to normal.

YARIS SEDAN_OM_OM99S50z_(U)
Check under the hood area to make certain all filler caps are in
place and all loose items (e.g. tools, oil containers, etc.) ha ve been
removed.
Lift the hood, grasp the padded
area on the support rod, and
secure the support rod in the
clip. Verify that the support rod
is secured in the clip before
closing the hood.
Lower the hood slowly to a height of about 7.9 in. (200 mm) abo ve
its closed position and then let it drop.

WARNING
■Always check that the hood is closed and securely locked
A hood that is not closed and securely locked is dangerous as it could fly
open while the vehicle is moving and block the driver’s vision which could
result in a serious accident.
NOTICE
When closing the hood, do not push it excessively such as by applying your
weight. Otherwise, the hood could be deformed.

5106-2. Flat Tire
YARIS SEDAN_OM_OM99S50z_(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 tig hten
the lug nuts beyond the r ecommended tightening torque
Applying oil or grease to lug nuts and bolts is dangerous. The lug nuts
could loosen while dri ving and cause the tire to come off, resulting in an
accident. In addition, lug nuts and bolts could be damaged if t ightened
more than necessary.
■Always securely and correctly tighten the lug nuts
Improperly or loosely tightened lug nuts are dangerous. The whe el
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 cau se
the wheel to slip off and cause an accident.
■Do not drive with any tires th at have incorrect air pressure
Driving on tires with incorrect air pressure is dangerous. Tire s with
incorrect pressure could affect handling and result in an accid ent. When
you check the regular tires’ air pressure, check the spare tire , too.

5236-7. Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds

If Trouble Arises
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.
Engine Oil Warning LightThis warning light indicates low engine oil pressure.
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. 444. If it’s low, add the
appropriate amount of engine oil while being careful
not to overfill.
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.

If Trouble Arises
■Power Steering Malfunction Indicator Light
●If the indicator light illuminates/flashes, the power steering will not operate
normally. If this happens, the steering wheel can still be oper ated, however,
the operation may feel heavy compared to normal, or the steering wheel
could vibrate when turning.
● Repeatedly jerking the steering wheel left and right while the vehicle is
stopped or moving extremely slowly will cause the power steerin g system to
go into protective mode which will make the steering feel heavy , but this
does not indicate a problem. If this occurs, park the vehicle safely and wait
several minutes for the system to return to normal.
WARNING
■ Do not drive with the brake system warning light illuminated. C ontact
your Toyota dealer to have the brakes inspected as soon as poss ible
Driving with the brake system warning light illuminated is dang erous. It indi-
cates that your brakes may not work at all or that they could c ompletely fail
at any time. If this light remains illuminated, after checking that the parking
brake is fully released, have the brakes inspected immediately.
In addition, the effectiveness of the braking may diminish so y ou may need
to depress the brake pedal more strongly than normal to stop th e vehicle.
■ Do not drive with both the ABS warning light and brake warning light
illuminated. Have the vehicle towed to your Toyota dealer to have the
brakes inspected as soon as possible
Driving when the brake system warning light and ABS warning lig ht are illu-
minated simultaneously is dangerous.
When both lights are illuminated, the rear wheels could lock mo re quickly in
an emergency stop than under normal circumstances.
NOTICE
■ Charging System Warning Light
Do not continue driving when the charging system warning light is illumi-
nated because the engine could stop unexpectedly.
■ Engine Oil Warning Light
● Do not run the engine if the oil pressure is low. Otherwise, it could result in
extensive engine damage.
● Do not run the engine if the oil level is low. Otherwise, it co uld result in
extensive engine damage.
■ High Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light
Do not drive the vehicle with the high engine coolant temperatu re warning
light illuminated. Otherwise, it could result in damage to the engine.
