2-8. Driving Tips
Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tire chains, window scraper, flares, a
small shovel, jumper cables, a nd a small bag of sand or salt.
Ask your Toyota dealer to check the following: • Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in the radiator. Refer to Engine Coolant on P. 425.
• Inspect the battery and its cables . Cold reduces battery capacity.
• Use an engine oil appropriate for the lowest ambient temperatures that the vehicle will be driven in ( →P. 422).
• Inspect the ignition sy stem for damage and loose connections.
• Use washer fluid made with antifreeze ⎯but do not use engine cool-
ant antifreeze for washer fluid ( →P. 429).
●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 automatic transaxle.
Block the rear wheels.
● Remove snow before driving. Snow left on the windshield is dangerous 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 windows 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.

Be sure the vehicle is on a level surface.
Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
Turn it off and wait at least 5 minutes for the oil to return to the oil
pan.
Pull out the dipstick, wipe it
clean, and reinsert it fully.Full
OK
Low
Pull it out again and examine the leve l. The level is normal if it is
between Low and Full.
If it is near or below Low, add enough oil to bring the level to Full.
Make sure the O-ring on the dipstick is positioned properly before
reinserting the dipstick.
Reinsert the dipstick fully.

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. Other wise, these chemical agents can
discolor or damage the surfaces resulting in a significant loss in
functionality. If plastic parts beco me inadvertently exposed to any of
these chemical age nts, flush with water immediately.
• If plastic parts such as the bu mpers become inadvertently exposed
to chemical agents or fluids such as gasoline, oil, engine coolant, or
battery fluid, it could cause discoloration, stai ning, 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 generat ed could result in deformation of
plastic parts or paint damage.
NOTICE
● Do not use any detergent other than mild detergent. Before using any
detergent, verify the ingredients.
Otherwise, the product could discolor or stain the aluminum wheels.
● Do not use a wire brush or any abrasive cleaner, polishing compound, or
solvent on aluminum wheels. They may damage the coating.
● Always use a sponge or soft cloth to clean the wheels.
Rinse the wheels thoroughly with lukewarm or cold water. Also, be sure to
clean the wheels after driving on dusty or salted roads to help prevent cor-
rosion.
● Avoid washing your vehicle in an automatic car wash that uses high-speed
or hard brushes.
Plastic Part Maintenance

4725-4. Appearance Care
YARIS iA_OM_OM99Q46z_(U)
■Leather
●Because genuine leather is a natural material, its surface is not uniform and
it may have natural scars, scratches, and wrinkles.
● To maintain the quality for as long as possible, periodical maintenance,
about twice a year, is recommended.
NOTICE
■Leather
● Sand and dust on the seat surface may damage the overcoat of the genu-
ine leather surfaces and accelerate wear.
● Greasy soiling on genuine leather may cause molding and stains.
● Rubbing hard with a stiff brush or cloth may cause damage.
● Do not wipe the leather using alcohol, chlorine bleach, or organic solvents
such as thinner, benzene, or gasoline. Otherwise, it may cause discolor-
ation or stains.
● If the seats get wet, promptly remove moisture with a dry cloth. Remaining
moisture on the surface may cause deterioration such as hardening and
shrinkage.
● Exposure to direct sunlight for long periods may cause deterioration and
shrinkage. When parking the car under direct sunlight for long periods,
shade the interior using sunshades.
● Do not leave vinyl products on the seats for long periods as they may
affect the leather quality and coloring. If the cabin temperature becomes
hot, the vinyl may deteriorate and adhere to the genuine leather.
■ Fabric
Use only recommended cleaners and procedures. Others may affect
appearance and fire-resistance.
■ Panel
● Do not wipe leather parts using alcohol, chlorine bleach, or organic sol-
vents such as thinner, benzene, or gasoline. Otherwise, it may cause dis-
coloration or stains.
● Scratches or nicks on the panels and metallic trim resulting from the use of
a hard brush or cloth may not be repairable.
● Be particularly careful when cleaning high lustre panels and metallic trim
as they can be easily scratched.

5046-7. Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds
YARIS iA_OM_OM99Q46z_(U)
■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 operated, 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 steering 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. Contact
your Toyota dealer to have the brakes inspected as soon as possible
Driving with the brake system warning light illuminated is dangerous. It indi-
cates that your brakes may not work at all or that they could completely 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 you may need
to depress the brake pedal more strongly than normal to stop the 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 light are illu-
minated simultaneously is dangerous.
When both lights are illuminated, the rear wheels could lock more 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 could result in
extensive engine damage.
■ High Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light
Do not drive the vehicle with the high engine coolant temperature warning
light illuminated. Otherwise, it could result in damage to the engine.
