7Maintenance and care8When trouble arises

4386-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
YARIS_F_OM_Europe_OM52K19E
■ 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 conditi oning system be set to outside air
mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
■ An odor comes from the air conditioning system due to the Stop & Start
system operation (vehicles with a Stop & Start system)
When the engine is stopped due to the Stop & Start system, an odor caused
by moisture may be detected. This does not indicate a malfunction.

air blowing stops. To stop the air conditioning system from turning off, press
the Stop & Start cancel switch and refr ain from using the Stop & Start system.

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.

YARIS_F_OM_Europe_OM52K19E
You may drain the fuel filter yourself. However, as the operation is dif-
ficult, we recommend having it drained by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. Even if
you decide to drain it yourself, contact any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Vehicles with monochrome display: The water in the fuel filter needs
to be drained if the fuel filter warning light comes on. (P. 579)
Vehicles with color display: The water in the fuel filter needs to be
drained if the fuel filter warning message is shown on the multi-infor-
mation display. (P. 587)
Turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position (vehicles without a
smart entry & start system) or off (vehicles with a smart entry & start
system).
Place a small tray under the drain plug to catch the water and any
fuel that comes out.
Turn the drain plug counter-
clockwise about 2 to 2 1/2
turns.
Operate the priming pump until
fuel begins to run out.
After draining, tighten the drain plug by hand.
