Seat Precautions
When returning a rear seat to its original position, place the seat belt
in its normal position. Verify that the seat belt pulls out and retracts.
WARNING
■Make sure the adjustable components of a seat are locked in place
Adjustable seats and seatbacks that are not securely locked are dangerous.
In a sudden stop or collision, the seat or seatback could move, causing
injury. Make sure the adjustable components of the seat are locked in place
by attempting to slide the seat forward and backward and rocking the seat-
back.
■Never allow children to adjust a seat
Allowing children to adjust a seat is dangerous as it could result in serious
injury if a child’s hands or feet become caught in the seat.
■Do not drive with the seatback unlocked
All of the seatbacks play an important role in your protection in a vehicle.
Leaving the seatback unlocked is dangerous as it can allow passengers to
be ejected or thrown around and baggage to strike occupants in a sudden
stop or collision, resulting in severe injury. After adjusting the seatback at
any time, even when there are no other passengers, rock the seatback to
make sure it is locked in place.
■Adjust the driver’s seat only when the vehicle is stopped
Adjusting the driver’s seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. The
driver could lose control of the vehicle and have an accident.
■Do not modify or replace the front seats
Modifying or replacing the front seats such as replacing the upholstery or
loosening any bolts is dangerous. The front seats contain air bag compo-
nents essential to the supplemental restraint system. Such modifications
could damage the supplemental restraint system and result in serious injury.
Consult your Toyota dealer if there is any need to remove or reinstall the
front seats.
■Do not drive with damaged front seats
Driving with damaged front seats is dangerous. A collision, even one not
strong enough to inflate the air bags, could damage the front seats which
contain essential air bag components. If there was a subsequent collision,
an air bag may not deploy which could lead to injuries. Always have your
Toyota dealer inspect the front seats, front seat belt pretensioners and air
bags after a collision.

Essential Safety Equipment
WARNING
■Do not drive with either front seats reclined
Sitting in a reclined position while the vehicle is moving is dangerous
because you do not get the full protection from seat belts. During sudden
braking or a collision, you can slide under the lap belt and suffer serious
internal injuries. For maximum protection, sit well back and upright.
■Do not place an object such as a cushion between the seatback and
your back
Putting an object such as a cushion between the seatback and your back is
dangerous because you will be unable to maintain a safe driving posture
and the seat belt cannot function at its full capacity in a collision, which
could result in a serious accident, injury or death.
■Do not place objects under the seat
The object could get stuck and cause the seat to not be fixed securely, and
result in an accident.
■Do not stack cargo higher than the seatbacks
Stacking luggage or other cargo higher than the seatbacks is dangerous.
During sudden braking or a collision, objects can fly around and become
projectiles that may hit and injure passengers.
■Make sure luggage and cargo is secured before driving
Not securing cargo while driving is dangerous as it could move or be
crushed during sudden braking or a collision and cause injury.
■Never allow a passenger to sit or stand on the folded seatback while
the vehicle is moving
Driving with a passenger on the folded seatback is dangerous. Allowing a
child to sit up on the folded seatback while the vehicle is moving is particu-
larly dangerous. In a sudden stop or even a minor collision, a child not in a
proper seat or child-restraint system and seat belt could be thrown forward,
back or even out of the vehicle resulting in serious injuries or death. The
child in the baggage area could be thrown into other occupants and cause
serious injury.
■Never give the car keys to children and do not allow them to play in the
vehicle
Playing with the folding rear seats is dangerous. Once the seatbacks are
back up, a child in the trunk would not be able to get out the way they had
entered. If you have small children, keep the seatbacks locked.
20
YARIS_SEDAN_OM_OM99M18z_(U)
1-1. Seats
WARNING
■Always leave your car locked and keep the car keys safely away from
children
Leaving your car unlocked or the keys in reach of children is dangerous.
Children who find their way into the trunk through an unlocked rear seat-
back or an open trunk can become accidentally locked in the trunk. This
could result in death or brain damage from heat prostration, particularly in
the summer. Always lock the doors and the trunk, and as an added mea-
sure, keep the rear seatbacks locked, whether you have children in your
home or not.
■When operating a seat
When operating a seat, be careful not to put your hands or fingers near the
moving parts of the seat or on the side trim to prevent injury.
■When adjusting a seatback of a front seat
When returning a rear-reclined seatback of a front seat to its upright posi-
tion, make sure you hold onto the seatback with your other hand while oper-
ating the lever. If the seatback is not supported, it will flip forward suddenly
and could cause injury.

Split Folding the Seatback
WARNING
■Do not drive the vehicle with occupants on folded down seatback(s) or
in the luggage compartment.
Putting occupants in the luggage compartment is dangerous because seat
belts cannot be fastened which could lead to serious injury or death during
sudden braking or a collision.
■Do not allow children to play inside the vehicle with the seatback(s)
lowered.
Allowing children to play in the vehicle with the seatback(s) folded down is
dangerous. If a child enters the luggage compartment and the seatback(s)
were raised back up, the child may become trapped in the luggage com-
partment which could lead to an accident.
■Tightly secure cargo in the luggage compartment when it is trans-
ported with the seatback(s) folded down.
Driving without tightly securing cargo and luggage is dangerous as it could
move and become an obstruction to driving during emergency braking or a
collision resulting in an unexpected accident.
■When transporting cargo, do not allow the cargo to exceed the height
of the seatback(s).
Transporting cargo stacked higher than the seatback(s) is dangerous as
visibility to the rear and sides of the vehicle is reduced which could interfere
with driving operations and lead to an accident.

Seat Belt Precautions
All of the seat belt retractors are designed to keep the lap/shoulder
belts out of the way when not in use.
The driver’s seat belt has no provisions for child-restraint systems and
has only an emergency locking mode. The driver may wear it comfort-
ably, and it will lock during a collision.
However, the front passenger’s seat and all rear lap/shoulder belt
retractors operate in two modes: emergency locking mode, and for
child-restraint systems, automatic locking mode. While we recom-
mend you put all children in the rear seats, if you must use the front
passenger seat for a child, slide the front passenger seat as far back
as possible and make sure any child-restraint system is secured prop-
erly.
Seat belts help to decrease the possibility of severe injury dur-
ing accidents and sudden stops. Toyota recommends that the
driver and all passengers always wear seat belts.
WARNING
■Always wear your seat belt and make sure all occupants are properly
restrained
Not wearing a seat belt is extremely dangerous. During a collision, occu-
pants not wearing seat belts could hit someone or things inside the vehicle
or even be thrown out of the vehicle. They could be seriously injured or
even killed. In the same collision, occupants wearing seat belts would be
much safer.
YARIS_SEDAN_OM_OM99M18z_(U)
31
1-2. Seat Belt Systems

Essential Safety Equipment
WARNING
■Do not wear twisted seat belts
Twisted seat belts are dangerous. In a collision, the full width of the belt is
not available to absorb the impact. This puts more force on the bones
beneath the belt, which could cause serious injury or death. So, if your seat
belt is twisted, you must straighten the seat belt to remove any twists and to
allow the full width of the belt to be used.
■Never use one seat belt on more than one person at a time
Using one seat belt for more than one person at a time is dangerous. A seat
belt used in this way cannot spread the impact forces properly and the two
passengers could be crushed together and seriously injured or even killed.
Never use one belt for more than one person at a time and always operate
the vehicle with each occupant properly restrained.
■Do not operate a vehicle with a damaged seat belt
Using a damaged seat belt is dangerous. An accident could damage the
belt webbing of the seat belt in use. A damaged seat belt cannot provide
adequate protection in a collision. Have your Toyota dealer inspect all seat
belt systems in use during an accident before they are used again.
■Have your seat belts changed immediately if the pretensioner or load
limiter has been expended
Always have your Toyota dealer immediately inspect the seat belt preten-
sioners and air bags after any collision. Like the air bags, the seat belt pre-
tensioners and load limiters will only function once and must be replaced
after any collision that caused them to deploy. A seat belt with an expended
pretensioner or load limiter is still better than wearing no seat belt at all;
however, if the seat belt pretensioners and load limiters are not replaced,
the risk of injury in a collision will increase.
■Positioning the Shoulder Portion of the Seat Belt
Improper positioning of the shoulder portion of the seat belt is dangerous.
Always make sure the shoulder portion of the seat belt is positioned across
your shoulder and near your neck, but never under your arm, on your neck,
or on your upper arm.
■Positioning the Lap Portion of the Seat Belt
The lap portion of the seat belt worn too high is dangerous. In a collision,
this would concentrate the impact force directly on the abdominal area,
causing serious injury. Wear the lap portion of the belt snugly and as low as
possible.
32
YARIS_SEDAN_OM_OM99M18z_(U)

Pregnant women should always wear seat belts. Ask your doctor for
specific recommendations.
The lap belt should be worn
SNUGLY AND AS LOW AS POS-
SIBLE OVER THE HIPS. The
shoulder belt should be worn
across your shoulder properly, but
never across the stomach area.
Persons with serious medical conditions also should wear seat belts.
Check with your doctor for any special instructions regarding specific
medical conditions.
NOTICE
Pregnant Women and Persons with Serious Medical Conditions
Belt retraction may become difficult if the

Essential Safety Equipment
When the seat belt is fastened, it will always be in the emergency
locking mode.
In the emergency locking mode, the belt remains comfortable on the
occupant and the retractor will lock in position during a collision.
If the belt is locked and cannot be pulled out, retract the belt once, and
then try pulling it out slowly. If this fails, pull the belt strongly one time
and loosen, then pull it out again slowly.
Seat Belt with Automatic Locking Mode:
When the seat belt is fastened, it will always be in the emergency
locking mode until it is switched to automatic locking mode by pulling
it all the way out to its full length. If the belt feels tight and hinders
comfortable movement while the vehicle is stopped or in motion, it
may be in the automatic locking mode because the belt has been
pulled too far out. To return the belt to the more comfortable emer-
gency locking mode, wait until the vehicle has stopped in a safe, level
area, retract the belt fully to convert it back to emergency locking
mode and then extend it around you again.
Always use the automatic locking mode to keep the child-restraint
system from shifting to an unsafe position in the event of an accident.
To enable seat belt automatic locking mode, pull it all the way out and
connect it as instructed on the child-restraint system. It will retract
down to the child-restraint system and stay locked on it. See the sec-
tion on child restraint (P. 41).

Seat Belt Pretensioner and Load Limiting
Systems
◆Pretensioners
When a collision is detected, the pretensioners deploy simulta-
neously with the air bags.
The pretensioners deploy simultaneously with the air bags when a
roll-over is also detected.
For deployment details, refer to the SRS Air Bag Deployment Crite-
ria (P. 74).
The front seat belt retractors remove slack quickly as the air bags
are expanding. Any time the air bags and seat belt pretensioners
have fired they must be replaced.
A system malfunction or operation conditions are indicated by a
warning.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on P. 164.
Refer to Air Bag/Front Seat Belt Pretensioner System Warning
Beep on P. 548.
In addition, the pretensioner system for the front passenger, like the
front and side passenger air bag, is designed to only deploy when
the front passenger occupant classification sensor detects a pas-
senger sitting on the front passenger’s seat.
For details, refer to the front passenger occupant classification sen-
sor (P. 78).
For optimum protection, the driver and front passenger seat
belts are equipped with pretensioner and load limiting systems.
For both these systems to work properly you must wear the seat
belt properly.

◆Load limiter
The load limiting system releases belt webbing in a controlled man-
ner to reduce belt force on the occupant’s chest. While the most
severe load on a seat belt occurs in frontal collisions, the load lim-
iter has an automatic mechanical function and can activate in any
accident mode with sufficient occupant movement.
Even if the pretensioners have not fired, the load limiting function
must be checked by your Toyota dealer.
●The pretensioner system may not operate depending on the type of the col-
lision. For details, refer to the SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria (P. 74)
●Some smoke (non-toxic gas) will be released when the air bags and preten-
sioners deploy. This does not indicate a fire. This gas normally has no effect
on occupants, however, those with sensitive skin may experience light skin
irritation. If residue from the deployment of the air bags or the front preten-
sioner system gets on the skin or in the eyes, wash it off as soon as possi-
ble.

WARNING
■Wear seat belts only as recommended in this owner’s manual
Incorrect positioning of the driver and front passenger seat belts is danger-
ous. Without proper positioning, the pretensioner and load limiting systems
cannot provide adequate protection in an accident and this could result in
serious injury. For more details about wearing seat belts, refer to “Fastening
the seat belts” (P. 34).
■Have your seat belts changed immediately if the pretensioner or load
limiter has been expended
Always have your Toyota dealer immediately inspect the seat belt preten-
sioners and air bags after any collision. Like the air bags, the seat belt pre-
tensioners and load limiters will only function once and must be replaced
after any collision that caused them to deploy. A seat belt with an expended
pretensioner or load limiter is still better than wearing no seat belt at all;
however, if the seat belt pretensioners and load limiters are not replaced,
the risk of injury in a collision will increase.
■Do not modify the components or wiring, or use electronic testing
devices on the pretensioner system
Modifying the components or wiring of the pretensioner system, including
the use of electronic testing devices is dangerous. You could accidentally
activate it or make it inoperable which would prevent it from activating in an
accident. The occupants or repairers could be seriously injured.
■Properly dispose of the pretensioner system
Improper disposal of the pretensioner system or a vehicle with non-deacti-
vated pretensioners is dangerous. Unless all safety procedures are fol-
lowed, injury could result. Have your Toyota dealer safely dispose of the
pretensioner system or scrap a pretensioner system equipped vehicle.

Seat Belt Extender
This extender will be only for you and for the particular vehicle and
seat. Even if it plugs into other seat belts, it may not hold in the critical
moment of a crash.
When ordering an extender, only order one that provides the neces-
sary additional length to fasten the seat belt properly.
Please contact your Toyota Dealer for more information.
When not in use, remove the seat belt extender and store it in the vehicle. If
the seat belt extender is left connected, the seat belt extender might get dam-
aged as it will not retract with the rest of the seat belt and can easily fall out of
the door when not in use and be damaged. In addition, the seat belt warning
light will not illuminate and function properly.
If your seat belt is not long enough, even when fully extended, a
seat belt extender may be available to you at no charge from
your Toyota Dealer.
WARNING
■Do not use a seat belt extender unless it is necessary
Using a seat belt extender when not necessary is dangerous. The seat belt
will be too long and not fit properly. In an accident, the seat belt will not pro-
vide adequate protection and you could be seriously injured. Only use the
extender when it is required to fasten the seat belt properly.
■Do not use an improper extender
Using a seat belt extender that is for another person or a different vehicle or
seat is dangerous. The seat belt will not provide adequate protection and
the user could be seriously injured in an accident. Only use the extender
provided for you and for the particular vehicle and seat. NEVER use the
extender in a different vehicle or seat. If you sell your Toyota, do not leave
your seat belt extender in the vehicle. It could be used accidentally by the
new owner of the vehicle. After removing the seat belt extender, discard it.
Never use the seat belt extender in any other vehicle you may own in the
future.

WARNING
■Do not use an extender that is too long
Using an extender that is too long is dangerous. The seat belt will not fit
properly. In an accident, the seat belt will not provide adequate protection
and you could be seriously injured. Do not use the extender or choose one
shorter in length if the distance between the extender’s buckle and the cen-
ter of the user’s body is less than 6 in. (150 mm).
■Do not leave a seat belt extender connected to the buckle
Leaving a seat belt extender connected to the buckle without using the seat
belt is dangerous. When the seat belt extender is connected to the driver’s
seat belt buckle (or front passenger’s seat belt buckle), the SRS driver’s (or
front passenger’s) air bag system will determine that the driver (or front pas-
senger) is wearing the seat belt even if the driver (or front passenger) is not
wearing it. This condition could cause the driver’s (or front passenger’s) air
bag to not activate correctly and result in death or serious injury in the event
of collision. Always wear the seat belt with the seat belt extender.
■Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child-restraint sys-
tem on the front or rear passenger seat
Using a seat belt extender to fasten a child-restraint system on any seat is
dangerous. Always follow the child-restraint system manufacturer’s installa-
tion instructions and never use a seat belt extender.

Essential Safety Equipment
Child-Restraint Precautions
Whatever child-restraint system you consider, please pick the appro-
priate one for the age and size of the child, obey the law and follow
the instructions that come with the individual child-restraint system.
A child who has outgrown child-restraint systems should sit in the rear
and use seat belts, both lap and shoulder. If the shoulder belt crosses
the neck or face, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle in
the outboard seats, and towards the buckle on the right if the child is
seated on the center seat.
Statistics confirm that the rear seat is the best place for all children up
to 12 years of age, and more so with a supplemental restraint system
(air bags).
A rear-facing child-restraint system should NEVER be used on the
front seat with the air bag system activated. The front passenger’s
seat is also the least preferred seat for other child-restraint systems.
To reduce the chance of injuries caused by deployment of the front
passenger air bag, the front passenger occupant classification sensor
works as a part of the supplemental restraint system. This system
deactivates the front passenger front and side air bags and also the
front passenger seat belt pretensioner system when the front passen-
ger air bag deactivation indicator light illuminates.
When an infant or small child sits on the front passenger seat, the sys-
tem shuts off the front passenger front and side air bags and seat belt
pretensioner system, so make sure the front passenger air bag deac-
tivation indicator light illuminates.
Toyota strongly urges the use of child-restraint systems for chil-
dren small enough to use them.
You are required by law to use a child-restraint system for chil-
dren in the U.S. and Canada.
Check your local and state or provincial laws for specific
requirements regarding the safety of children riding in your
vehicle.
42
YARIS_SEDAN_OM_OM99M18z_(U)
1-3. Child Restraint
Even if the front passenger air bag is shut off, Toyota strongly recom-
mends that children be properly restrained and child-restraint systems
of all kinds are properly secured on the rear seats which are the best
place for children.
For more details, refer to “Front passenger occupant classification
sensor” (P. 78).
Your Toyota is equipped with LATCH lower anchors for attachment of spe-
cially designed LATCH child-restraint systems in the rear seats. When using
these anchors to secure a child-restraint system, refer to “Using LATCH
Lower Anchor” (P. 57).
WARNING
■Use the correct size child-restraint system
For effective protection in vehicle accidents and sudden stops, a child must
be properly restrained using a seat belt or child-restraint system depending
on age and size. If not, the child could be seriously injured or even killed in
an accident.
■Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and always keep the child-
restraint system buckled down
An unsecured child-restraint system is dangerous. In a sudden stop or a
collision it could move causing serious injury or death to the child or other
occupants. Make sure any child-restraint system is properly secured in
place according to the child-restraint system manufacturer’s instructions.
When not in use, remove it from the vehicle or fasten it with a seat belt, or
latch it down to BOTH LATCH lower anchors for LATCH child-restraint sys-
tems and the corresponding tether anchor.
■Always secure a child in a proper child-restraint system
Holding a child in your arms while the vehicle is moving is extremely dan-
gerous. No matter how strong the person may be, he or she cannot hold
onto a child in a sudden stop or collision and it could result in serious injury
or death to the child or other occupants. Even in a moderate accident, the
child may be exposed to air bag forces that could result in serious injury or
death to the child, or the child may be slammed into an adult, causing injury
to both child and adult.

■Do not install a front-facing child-restraint system on the front passen-
ger seat unless it is unavoidable
Rear-facing child-restraint systems on
the front seat are particularly dangerous
even though you may feel assured that a
front passenger air bag will not deploy
based on the fact that the front passen-
ger air bag deactivation indicator light
illuminates. The child-restraint system
can be hit by a deploying air bag and
moved violently backward resulting in
serious injury or death to the child.
Vehicles with a front passenger air bag
have a warning label attached as shown
below.
The warning label reminds you not to put
a rear-facing child-restraint system on
the front passenger seat at any time.
In a collision, the force of a deploying air
bag could cause serious injury or death
to the child. If installing a front-facing
child-restraint system on the front pas-
senger seat is unavoidable, move the
front passenger seat as far back as pos-
sible.

WARNING
■Seating a child in a child-restraint system on the front passenger seat
is dangerous under certain conditions
Your vehicle is equipped with front passenger occupant classification sen-
sor. Even with the front passenger occupant classification sensor, if you
must use the front passenger seat to seat a child, using a child-restraint
system on the front passenger seat under the following conditions
increases the danger of the front passenger air bag deploying and could
result in serious injury or death to the child.
●The front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does not illuminate
when seating a child in the child-restraint system.
●Luggage or other items are placed on the seat with the child in the child-
restraint system.
●A rear passenger or luggage pushing or pulling down on the front passen-
ger seatback.
●Luggage or other items are placed on the seatback or hung on the head
restraint.
●The seat is washed.
●Liquids are spilled on the seat.
●The front passenger seat is moved backward, pushing into luggage or
other items placed behind it.
●The front passenger seatback contacts the rear seat.
●Luggage or other items are placed between the front passenger seat and
driver seat.
●An electric device is put on the front passenger’s seat.
●An additional electrical device, such as a seat warmer is installed to the

WARNING
■Do not allow a child or anyone to lean over or against the side window
of a vehicle with side and curtain air bags
It is dangerous to allow anyone to lean over or against the side window, the
area of the front passenger seat, the front and rear window pillars and the
roof edge along both sides from which the side and curtain air bags deploy,
even if a child-restraint system is used. The impact of inflation from a side or
curtain air bag could cause serious injury or death to an out of position child.
Furthermore, leaning over or against the front door could block the side and
curtain air bags and eliminate the advantages of supplemental protection.
With the front air bag and the additional side air bag that comes out of the
front seat, the rear seat is always a better location for children. Take special
care not to allow a child to lean over or against the side window, even if the
child is seated in a child-restraint system.
■Never use one seat belt on more than one person at a time
Using one seat belt for more than one person at a time is dangerous. A seat
belt used in this way cannot spread the impact forces properly and the two
passengers could be crushed together and seriously injured or even killed.
Never use one belt for more than one person at a time and always operate
the vehicle with each occupant properly restrained.
■To prevent burns
A seat belt or child-restraint system can become very hot in a closed vehicle
during warm weather. To avoid burning yourself or a child, check them
before you or your child touches them.

Child-Restraint System Installation
In this owner’s manual, explanation of child-restraint systems is pro-
vided for the following three types of popular child-restraint systems:
infant seat, child seat, booster seat.
Child-Restraint System Types
Infant seat Child seat
An infant seat provides restraint
by bracing the infant’s head, neck
and back against the seating sur-
face.
A child seat restrains a child’s
body using the harness.
Booster seat
A booster seat is a child restraint
accessory designed to improve
the fit of the seat belt system
around the child’s body.

Essential Safety Equipment
●Installation position is determined by the type of child-restraint system.
Always read the manufacturer’s instructions and this owner’s manual care-
fully.
●Due to variations in the design of child-restraint systems, vehicle seats and
seat belts, all child-restraint systems may not fit all seating positions. Before
purchasing a child-restraint system, it should be tested in the specific vehi-
cle seating position (or positions) where it is intended to be used. If a previ-
ously purchased child-restraint system does not fit, you may need to
purchase a different one that will.

1-3. Child Restraint
Installing Child-Restraint Systems
Some child-restraint systems now come with tethers and therefore
must be installed on the seats that take tethers to be effective. In your
Toyota, tethered child-restraint systems can only be accommodated in
the three positions on the rear seat.
Some child-restraint systems also employ specially designed LATCH
attachments; refer to “Using LATCH Lower Anchor” (P. 57).
Even if your vehicle is equipped with front passenger occupant classification
sensor (P. 78), which automatically deactivates the front passenger air bag,
a rear seat is the safest place for a child of any age or size.
Accident statistics reveal that a child is safer in the rear seat.
The front passenger’s seat is clearly the worst choice for any
child under 12, and with rear-facing child-restraint systems it is
clearly unsafe due to air bags.
WARNING
■Tethered Child-Restraint Systems Work Only on Tether-Equipped Rear
Seats
Installation of a tether equipped child-restraint system in the front passen-
ger’s seat defeats the safety design of the system and will result in an
increased chance of serious injury if the child-restraint system goes forward
without benefit of being tethered.
Place tether equipped child-restraint systems where there are tether
anchors.

should not be able to pull the shoulder belt out of the retractor while the
system is in the automatic locking mode. When you remove the child-
restraint system, be sure the belt fully retracts to return the system to
emergency locking mode before occupants use the seat belts.
If your child-restraint system requires the use of a tether strap, refer
to the manufacturer’s instructions to hook and tighten the tether
strap.
Follow the child-restraint system manufacturer’s instructions carefully. If you
are not sure whether you have a LATCH system or tether, check in the child-

Essential Safety Equipment
If you cannot put all children in the rear seat, at least put the smallest
children in the rear and be sure the largest child up front uses the
shoulder belt over the shoulder.
NEVER put a rear-facing child-restraint system on the front passenger
seat whether your vehicle is equipped with a occupant classification
sensor or not.
This seat is also not set up for tethered child-restraint systems, put
them in one of the rear seat positions set up with tether anchors.
Likewise the LATCH child-restraint system cannot be secured in the
front passenger’s seat and should be used in the rear seat.
Do not allow anyone to sleep against the side window since your vehi-
cle has side and curtain air bags, it could cause serious injuries to an
out of position occupant. As children more often sleep in cars, it is bet-
ter to put them in the rear seat.
If installing the child-restraint system on the front seat is unavoidable,
follow these instructions when using a front-facing child-restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger’s seat.
●To check if your front seats have side air bags:
The vehicle equipped with side air bag will have a “SRS AIRBAG” tag on the
outboard shoulder of the front seats.
●To check if your vehicle has curtain air bags:
The vehicle equipped with curtain air bag will have an “SRS AIRBAG” mark-
ing on the window pillars along the roof edge.

1-3. Child Restraint
WARNING
■Always move the front passenger seat as far back as possible if install-
ing a front-facing child-restraint system on it is unavoidable
As your vehicle has front air bags and doubly so because your vehicle has
side air bags, a front-facing child-restraint system should be put on the front
passenger seat only when it is unavoidable.
Even if the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light illuminates,
always move the seat as far back as possible, because the force of a
deploying air bag could cause serious injury or death to the child.
■Never use a rear-facing child-restraint system in the front seat with an
air bag that could deploy
Rear-facing child-restraint systems on the front seat are particularly danger-
ous.
Even in a moderate collision, the child-restraint system can be hit by a
deploying air bag and moved violently backward resulting in serious injury
or death to the child. Even though you may feel assured that the front pas-
senger air bag will not deploy based on the fact that the front passenger air
bag deactivation indicator light illuminates, you should not use a rear-facing
child-restraint system in the front seat.
■Do not allow a child or anyone to lean over or against the side window
of a vehicle with side and curtain air bags
It is dangerous to allow anyone to lean over or against the side window, the
area of the front passenger seat, the front and rear window pillars and the
roof edge along both sides from which the side and curtain air bags deploy,
even if a child-restraint system is used. The impact of inflation from a side or
curtain air bag could cause serious injury or death to an out of position child.
Furthermore, leaning over or against the front door could block the side and
curtain air bags and eliminate the advantages of supplemental protection.
With the front air bag and the additional side air bag that comes out of the
front seat, the rear seat is always a better location for children. Take special
care not to allow a child to lean over or against the side window, even if the
child is seated in a child-restraint system.

Essential Safety Equipment
Your Toyota is equipped with LATCH lower anchors for attachment of
specially designed LATCH child-restraint systems in the rear seats.
Both anchors must be used, otherwise the seat will bounce around
and put the child in danger. Most LATCH child-restraint systems must
also be used in conjunction with a tether to be effective. If they have a
tether you must use it to better assure your child’s safety.
WARNING
■Do not seat a child in a child-restraint system on the front passenger
seat if the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does not
illuminate
While it is always better to install any child-restraint system on the rear seat,
it is imperative that a child-restraint system ONLY be used on the front pas-
senger seat if the deactivation indicator light illuminates when the child is
seated in the child-restraint system (P. 78). Seating a child in a child-
restraint system installed on the front passenger seat with the front passen-
ger air bag deactivation indicator light not illuminated is dangerous. If this
indicator light does not illuminate, this means that the front passenger front
and side air bags, and seat belt pretensioner are ready for deployment. If an
accident were to deploy an air bag, a child in a child-restraint system sitting
in the front passenger seat could be seriously injured or killed. If the indica-
tor light does not illuminate after seating a child in a child-restraint system
on the front passenger seat, seat a child in a child-restraint system on the
rear seat and consult your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
Using LATCH Lower Anchor
WARNING
■Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the use of the child-restraint
system
An unsecured child-restraint system is dangerous. In a sudden stop or a
collision it could move causing serious injury or death to the child or other
occupants. Make sure the child-restraint system is properly secured in place
according to the child-restraint system manufacturer’s instructions.
58
YARIS_SEDAN_OM_OM99M18z_(U)
1-3. Child Restraint
First, adjust the front seat to allow clearance between the child-
restraint system and the front seat (P. 21).
Make sure the seatback is securely latched by pushing it back until
it is fully locked.
WARNING
■Never attach two child-restraint systems to the same LATCH lower
anchor
Attaching two child-restraint systems to the same LATCH lower anchor is
dangerous. In a collision, one anchor may not be strong enough to hold two
child-restraint system attachments, and it may break, causing serious injury
or death. If you use the seat position for another child-restraint system when
an outboard LATCH position is occupied, use the center seat belts instead,
and the tether if tether-equipped.
■Make sure the child-restraint system is properly secured
An unsecured child-restraint system is dangerous. In a sudden stop or a
collision it could move causing serious injury or death to the child or other
occupants. Follow the child-restraint system manufacturer’s instructions on
belt routing to secure the seat just as you would with a child in it so that
nobody is tempted to put a child in an improperly secured seat later on.
When not in use, remove it from the vehicle or fasten it with a seat belt, or
latch it down to BOTH LATCH lower anchors for LATCH child-restraint sys-
tems.
■Make sure there are no seat belts or foreign objects near or around the
LATCH child-restraint system
Not following the child-restraint system manufacturer’s instructions when
installing the child-restraint system is dangerous. If seat belts or a foreign
object prevent the child-restraint system from being securely attached to the
LATCH lower anchors and the child-restraint system is installed improperly,
the child-restraint system could move in a sudden stop or collision causing
serious injury or death to the child or other occupants. When installing the
child-restraint system, make sure there are no seat belts or foreign objects
near or around the LATCH lower anchors. Always follow the child-restraint
system manufacturer’s instructions.

1-3. Child Restraint
The LATCH lower anchors at the center of the rear seat are much fur-
ther apart than the sets of LATCH lower anchors for child-restraint
system installation at other seating positions. Child-restraint systems
with rigid LATCH attachments cannot be installed on the center seat-
ing position. Some LATCH equipped child-restraint systems can be
placed in the center position and will reach the nearest LATCH lower
anchors which are 14.2 in. (360 mm) apart. LATCH compatible child-
restraint systems (with attachments on belt webbing) can be used at
this seating position only if the child-restraint system manufacturer’s
instructions state that the child-restraint system can be installed to
LATCH lower anchors that are 14.2 in. (360 mm) apart. Do not attach
two child-restraint systems to the same LATCH lower anchor. If your
child-restraint system has a tether, it must also be used for your child’s
optimum safety.
The procedure for installation on the rear outboard seats is the same.
WARNING
■Always attach the tether strap to the correct tether anchor position
Attaching the tether strap to the incorrect tether anchor position is danger-
ous. In a collision, the tether strap could come off and loosen the child-
restraint system. If the child-restraint system moves it could result in death
or injury to the child.
■Always install the head restraint and adjust it to the appropriate posi-
tion after removing the child-restraint system
Driving with the head restraint removed is dangerous as impact to the occu-

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Pre-
cautions
The front and side supplemental restraint systems (SRS) include up to
6 air bags. Please verify which kinds of air bags are equipped on your
vehicle by locating the “SRS AIRBAG” location indicators. These indi-
cators are visible in the area where the air bags are installed.
The air bags are installed in the following locations:
●The steering wheel hub (driver air bag)
●The front passenger dashboard (front passenger air bag)
●The outboard sides of the front seatbacks (side air bags) (if
equipped)
●The front and rear window pillars, and the roof edge along both
sides (curtain air bags) (if equipped)
Vehicles with the Front Passenger Occupant Classification System
have a sensor which detects an impending roll-over accident.
The air bag supplemental restraint systems are designed to provide
supplemental protection in certain situations so seat belts are always
important in the following ways:
Without seat belt usage, the air bags cannot provide adequate protec-
tion during an accident. Seat belt usage is necessary to:
●Keep the occupant from being thrown into an inflating air bag.
●Reduce the possibility of injuries during an accident that is not
designed for air bag inflation, such as rear impact.
●Reduce the possibility of injuries in frontal, near frontal or side colli-
sions or roll-over accidents that are not severe enough to activate
the air bags.
●Reduce the possibility of being thrown from your vehicle.
●Reduce the possibility of injuries to lower body and legs during an
accident because the air bags provide no protection to these parts
of the body.
●Hold the driver in a position which allows better control of the vehi-
cle.

cation system, the front passen-
ger air bag deactivation indicator
light illuminates for a specified
time after the ignition is switched

Small children must be protected by a child-restraint system as stipu-
lated by law in every state and province. In certain states and prov-
inces, larger children must use a child-restraint system (P. 41).
Carefully consider which child-restraint system is necessary for your
child and follow the installation directions in this Owner’s Manual as
well as the child-restraint system manufacturer’s instructions.
●If it becomes necessary to have the components or wiring system for the
supplementary restraint system modified to accommodate a person with
certain medical conditions in accordance with a certified physician, contact
your Toyota dealer.
●When an air bag deploys, a loud inflation noise can be heard and some
smoke will be released. Neither is likely to cause injury, however, the texture
of the air bags may cause light skin injuries on body parts not covered with
clothing through friction.
●Should you sell your Toyota, we urge you to tell the new owner of its air bag
systems and that familiarization with all instructions about them, from the
Owner’s Manual, is important.

YARIS_SEDAN_OM_OM99M18z_(U)
1-4. SRS Air Bags
WARNING
■Seat belts must be worn in air bag equipped vehicles
Depending only on the air bags for protection during an accident is danger-
ous. Alone, air bags may not prevent serious injuries. The appropriate air
bags can be expected to inflate only in the first accident, such as frontal,
near frontal or side collisions or roll-over accidents that are at least moder-
ate. Vehicle occupants should always wear seat belts.
■Children should not ride in the front passenger seat
Placing a child, 12 years or under, in the front seat is dangerous. The child
could be hit by a deploying air bag and be seriously injured or even killed. A
sleeping child is more likely to lean against the door and be hit by the side
air bag in moderate collision to the front-passenger side of the vehicle.
Whenever possible, always secure a child 12 years and under on the rear
seats with an appropriate child-restraint system for the child’s age and size.
■Never use a rear-facing child-restraint system in the front seat with an
air bag that could deploy
■Do not sit too close to the driver and front passenger air bags
Sitting too close to the driver and front passenger air bag modules or plac-
ing hands or feet on them is extremely dangerous. The driver and front pas-
senger air bags inflate with great force and speed. Serious injuries could
occur if someone is too close. The driver should always hold onto only the
rim of the steering wheel. The front seat passenger should keep both feet
on the floor. Front seat occupants should adjust their seats as far back as
possible and always sit upright against the seatbacks with seat belts worn
properly.
Rear-facing child-restraint systems on
the front seat are particularly dangerous
even though you may feel assured that a
front passenger air bag will not deploy
based on the fact that the front passen-
ger air bag deactivation indicator light
illuminates. The child-restraint system
can be hit by a deploying air bag and
moved violently backward resulting in
serious injury or death to the child.

Essential Safety Equipment
WARNING
■Sit in the center of the seat and wear seat belts properly
Sitting too close to the side air bag modules or placing hands on them, or
sleeping up against the door or hanging out the windows is extremely dan-
gerous. The side and curtain air bags inflate with great force and speed
directly expanding along the door on the side the car is hit. Serious injury
could occur if someone is sitting too close to the door or leaning against a
window, or if rear seat occupants grab the sides of the front seatbacks. Give
the side and curtain air bags room to work by sitting in the center of the seat
while the vehicle is moving with seat belts worn properly.
■Do not attach objects on or around the area where driver and front pas-
senger air bags deploy
Attaching an object to the driver and front passenger air bag modules or
placing something in front of them is dangerous. In an accident, an object
could interfere with air bag inflation and injure the occupants.
■Do not attach objects on or around the area where a side air bag
deploys
Attaching objects to the front seat in such a way as to cover the outboard
side of the seat in any way is dangerous. In an accident the object could
interfere with the side air bag, which inflates from the outboard side of the
front seats, impeding the added protection of the side air bag system or
redirecting the air bag in a way that is dangerous. Furthermore, the bag
could be cut open releasing the gas.
Do not hang net bags, map pouches or backpacks with side straps on the
front seats. Never use seat covers on the front seats. Always keep the side
air bag modules in your front seats free to deploy in the event of a side colli-
sion.
■Do not attach objects on or around the area where a curtain air bag
deploys
Attaching objects to the areas where the curtain air bag activates such as
on the windshield glass, side door glass, front and rear window pillars and
along the roof edge and assist grips is dangerous. In an accident the object
could interfere with the curtain air bag, which inflates from the front and rear
window pillars and along the roof edge, impeding the added protection of
the curtain air bag system or redirecting the air bag in a way that is danger-
ous. Furthermore, the bag could be cut open releasing the gas.
Do not place hangers or any other objects on the assist grips. When hang-
ing clothes, hang them on the coat hook directly. Always keep the curtain air
bag modules free to deploy in the event of a side collision or roll-over acci-
dent.

Touching the components of the supplemental restraint system after the air
bags have inflated is dangerous. Immediately after inflation, they are very
hot. You could get burned.
■Never install any front-end equipment to your vehicle
Installation of front-end equipment, such as frontal protection bar (kangaroo
bar, bull bar, push bar, or other similar devices), snowplow, or winches, is
dangerous. The air bag crash sensor system could be affected. This could
cause air bags to inflate unexpectedly, or it could prevent the air bags from
inflating during an accident. Front occupants could be seriously injured.
■Do not modify the suspension
Modifying the vehicle suspension is dangerous. If the vehicle’s height or the
suspension is modified, the vehicle will be unable to accurately detect a col-
lision or roll-over accident resulting in incorrect or unexpected air bag
deployment and the possibility of serious injuries.
■To prevent false detection by the air bag sensor system, heed the fol-
lowing
●Do not use tires or wheels other than those specified for your Toyota:
Use of any tire or wheel other than those specified for your Toyota (P. 596)
is dangerous. Use of such wheels will prevent the vehicle’s accident detec-
tions system from accurately detecting a collision or roll-over accident result-
ing in incorrect or unexpected air bag deployment and the possibility of
serious injuries.
●Do not overload your vehicle:
Overloading your vehicle is dangerous as it could prevent the air bag
crash sensor system from accurately detecting a collision or roll-over acci-
dent resulting in incorrect or unexpected air bag deployment and the pos-
sibility of serious injuries. The gross axle weight rating (GAWR) and the
gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for your vehicle are on the Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard Label on the driver’s door frame. Do not exceed
these ratings.
●Do not drive the vehicle off-road:
Driving your Toyota off-road is dangerous because the vehicle has not
been designed to do so. Driving the vehicle off-road could prevent the air
bag crash sensor system from accurately detecting a collision or roll-over
accident resulting in incorrect or unexpected air bag deployment and the
possibility of serious injuries.

WARNING
■Do not modify a front door or leave any damage unrepaired. Always
have your Toyota dealer inspect a damaged front door
Modifying a front door or leaving any damage unrepaired is dangerous.
Each front door has a side crash sensor as a component of the supplemen-
tal restraint system. If holes are drilled in a front door, a door speaker is left
removed, or a damaged door is left unrepaired, the sensor could be
adversely affected causing it to not detect the pressure of an impact cor-
rectly during a side collision. If a sensor does not detect a side impact cor-
rectly, the side and curtain air bags and the front seat belt pretensioner may
not operate normally which could result in serious injury to occupants.
■Do not modify the supplemental restraint system
Modifying the components or wiring of the supplemental restraint system is
dangerous. You could accidentally activate it or make it inoperable. Do not
make any modifications to the supplemental restraint system. This includes
installing trim, badges, or anything else over the air bag modules. It also
includes installing extra electrical equipment on or near system components
or wiring. Your Toyota dealer can provide the special care needed in the
removal and installation of front seats. It is important to protect the air bag
wiring and connections to assure that the bags do not accidentally deploy,
and that the front passenger occupant classification system and the seats
retain an undamaged air bag connection.
■Do not place luggage or other objects under the front seats
Placing luggage or other objects under the front seats is dangerous. The
components essential to the supplemental restraint system could be dam-
aged, and in the event of a side collision, the appropriate air bags may not
deploy, which could result in death or serious injury. To prevent damage to
the components essential to the supplemental restraint system, do not
place luggage or other objects under the front seats.
■Do not operate a vehicle with damaged air bag/seat belt pretensioner
system components
Expended or damaged air bag/seat belt pretensioner system components
must be replaced after any collision which caused them to deploy or dam-
age them. Only a trained Authorized Toyota Dealer can fully evaluate these
systems to see that they will work in any subsequent accident. Driving with
an expended or damaged air bag or pretensioner unit will not afford you the
necessary protection in the event of any subsequent accident which could
result in serious injury or death.

WARNING
■Do not remove interior air bag parts
Removing any components such as the front seats, front dashboard, the
steering wheel or parts on the front and rear window pillars and along the
roof edge, containing air bag parts or sensors is dangerous. These parts
contain essential air bag components. The air bag could accidentally acti-
vate and cause serious injuries. Always have your Toyota dealer remove
these parts.
■Properly dispose of the air bag system
Improper disposal of an air bag or a vehicle with live air bags in it can be
extremely dangerous. Unless all safety procedures are followed, injury
could result. Have your Toyota dealer safely dispose of the air bag system
or scrap an air bag equipped vehicle.

How the SRS Air Bags Work
◆Seat Belt Pretensioners
The front seat belt pretensioners are designed to deploy in moder-
ate or severe frontal, near frontal collisions.
In addition, the pretensioners operate when a side collision (only on
the side in which the collision occurs) or a roll-over accident is
detected. The pretensioners operate differently depending on what
types of air bags are equipped. For details on the seat belt preten-
sioner operation, refer to the SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria
(P. 74).
◆Driver Air Bag
The driver’s air bag is mounted in the steering wheel.
When air bag crash sensors
detect a frontal impact of
greater than moderate force,
the driver’s air bag inflates
quickly helping to reduce injury
mainly to the driver’s head or
chest caused by directly hitting
the steering wheel.
For more details about air bag deployment, refer to “SRS Air Bag
Deployment Criteria” (P. 74).
The driver’s dual-stage air bag controls air bag inflation in two
energy stages. During an impact of moderate severity, the driver’s
air bag deploys with lesser energy, whereas during more severe
impacts, it deploys with more energy.
Your Toyota is equipped with the following types of SRS air
bags. SRS air bags are designed to work together with the seat
belts to help to reduce injuries during an accident. The SRS air
bags are designed to provide further protection for passengers
in addition to the seat belt functions. Be sure to wear seat belts
properly.

Essential Safety Equipment
◆Front Passenger Air Bag
The front passenger air bag is mounted in the front passenger
dashboard.
The inflation mechanism for the
front passenger air bag is the
same as the driver’s air bag, as
mentioned above.
For more details about air bag
deployment, refer to “SRS Air
Bag Deployment Criteria”
(P. 74).
In addition, the front passenger air bag is designed to only deploy
when the front passenger occupant classification sensor detects a
passenger sitting on the front passenger’s seat. For details, refer to
the front passenger occupant classification system (P. 78).
◆Side Air Bags
The side air bags are mounted in the outboard sides of the front
seatbacks.
When the air bag crash sensors
detect a side impact of greater
than moderate force, the sys-
tem inflates the side air bag
only on the side in which the
vehicle was hit. The side air
bag inflates quickly to reduce
injury to the driver or front pas-
senger’s chest caused by
directly hitting interior parts
such as a door or window.
For more details about air bag deployment, refer to “SRS Air Bag
Deployment Criteria” (P. 74).
In addition, the front passenger side bag is designed to only deploy
when the front passenger occupant classification sensor detects a
passenger sitting on the front passenger’s seat. For details, refer to
the front passenger occupant classification system (P. 78).
72
YARIS_SEDAN_OM_OM99M18z_(U)
1-4. SRS Air Bags
◆Curtain Air Bags
The curtain air bags are mounted in the front and rear window pil-
lars, and the roof edge along both sides.
When the air bag crash sensors detect a side impact of greater
than moderate force, the curtain air bag inflates quickly and helps to
reduce injury mainly to the rear outboard passenger’s head caused
by directly hitting interior parts such as a door or window.
For more details about air bag deployment, refer to “SRS Air Bag
Deployment Criteria” (P. 74).
In a side impact
Greater than moderate impact to one side of the vehicle will cause
the curtain air bag on that side only to inflate.
Only one side curtain air bag
will deploy on the side of the
vehicle that receives the force
of an impact.
In a roll-over
In response to a vehicle roll-over, both curtain air bags inflate.
Both curtain air bags will deploy
after the roll-over accident is
detected.

Front Passenger Occupant Classification
System
Your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger occupant classifica-
tion sensor as a part of the supplemental restraint system. This sen-
sor is equipped in the front passenger’s seat cushion. This sensor
measures the electrostatic capacity of the front passenger’s seat. The
SAS unit is designed to prevent the front passenger front and side air
bags and seat belt pretensioner system from deploying if the front
passenger air bag deactivation indicator light turns on.
To reduce the chance of injuries caused by deployment of the front
passenger air bag, the system deactivates the front passenger front
and side air bags and also the seat belt pretensioner system when the
front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light turns on. Refer to
the following table for the front passenger air bag deactivation indica-
tor light illumination conditions.
This system shuts off the front passenger front and side air bags and
seat belt pretensioner system, so make sure the front passenger air
bag deactivation indicator light turns on according to the following
table.
The air bag/front seat belt pretensioner system warning light flashes
and the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light illuminates
if the sensors have a possible malfunction. If this happens, the front
passenger front and side air bags and seat belt pretensioner system
will not deploy.
First, please read “Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Pre-
cautions” (P. 62) carefully.

●The air bag/front seat belt pretensioner system warning light might turn on if
the front passenger seat receives a severe impact.
●If the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does not turn on
after installing a child-restraint system on the front passenger seat, first, re-
install your child-restraint system according to the procedure in this owner’s
manual. Then, if the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light still
does not turn on, install the child-restraint system on the rear seat and con-
sult your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
●If the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light turns on when an
occupant is seated directly in the front passenger seat, have the passenger
re-adjust their posture by sitting with their feet on the floor, and then re-fas-
tening the seat belt. If the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light
remains turned on, move the passenger to the rear seat. If sitting in the rear
seat is not possible, slide the front passenger seat as far back as possible.

WARNING
■Do not allow an occupant in the front passenger’s seat to sit with a
posture which makes it difficult for the front passenger occupant clas-
sification sensor to detect the occupant correctly
Sitting in the front passenger’s seat with a posture which makes it difficult
for the front passenger occupant classification sensor to detect the occu-
pant correctly is dangerous. If the front passenger occupant classification
sensor cannot detect the occupant sitting on the front passenger’s seat cor-
rectly, the front passenger front and side air bags and pretensioner system
may not operate (deploy) or they may operate (deploy) accidentally. The
front passenger will not have the supplementary protection of the air bags or
the accidental operation (deployment) of the air bags could result in serious
injury or death. Under the following conditions, the front passenger occu-
pant classification sensor cannot detect a passenger sitting on the front
passenger’s seat correctly and the deployment/non-deployment of the air
bags cannot be controlled as indicated in the front passenger air bag deac-
tivation indicator light on/off condition chart. For example:
●A front passenger is seated as shown in the following figure:
●A rear passenger pushes up on the front passenger seat with their feet.
●Luggage or other items placed under the front passenger seat or between
the front passenger seat and driver seat that push up the front passenger
seat bottom.
●An object, such as a seat cushion, is put on the front passenger’s seat or
between the passenger’s back and the seatback.

WARNING
■Always take all children and pets with you or leave a responsible per-
son with them
Leaving a child or a pet unattended in a parked vehicle is dangerous. In hot
weather, temperatures inside a vehicle can become high enough to cause
brain damage or even death.
■Do not leave the key in your vehicle with children and keep them in a
place where your children will not find or play with them
Leaving children in a vehicle with the key is dangerous. This could result in
someone being badly injured or even killed.
■Keep all doors locked when driving
Unlocked doors in a moving vehicle are dangerous. Passengers can fall out
if a door is accidentally opened and can more easily be thrown out in an
accident.
■Always close all the windows, lock the doors and take the key with you
when leaving your vehicle unattended
Leaving your vehicle unlocked is dangerous as children could lock them-
selves in a hot vehicle, which could result in death. Also, a vehicle left
unlocked becomes an easy target for thieves and intruders.
■After closing the doors, always verify that they are securely closed
Doors not securely closed are dangerous, if the vehicle is driven with a door
not securely closed, the door could open unexpectedly resulting in an acci-
dent.
■Always confirm the safety around the vehicle before opening a door
Suddenly opening a door is dangerous.
A passing vehicle or a pedestrian could be hit and cause an accident.
■When opening or closing a door
Always confirm the conditions around the vehicle before opening/closing
the doors and use caution during strong winds or when parked on an
incline. Not being aware of the conditions around the vehicle is dangerous
because fingers could get caught in the door or a passing pedestrian could
be hit, resulting in an unexpected accident or injury.

WARNING
■Never allow a person to ride in the trunk
Allowing a person to ride in the trunk is dangerous. The person in the trunk
could be seriously injured or killed during sudden braking or a collision.
■Do not drive with the trunk lid open
Exhaust gas in the cabin of a vehicle is dangerous. An open trunk lid in a
moving vehicle will cause exhaust gas to be drawn into the cabin. This gas
contains CO (carbon monoxide), which is colorless, odorless, and highly
poisonous, and it can cause loss of consciousness and death. Moreover, an
open trunk lid could cause occupants to fall out in an accident.
■Do not stack or leave loaded luggage unsecured in the luggage com-
partment
Otherwise, the luggage may move or collapse, resulting in injury or an acci-
dent. In addition, do not load luggage higher than the seatbacks. It may
affect the side or rear field of view.
■Using the trunk
●Before opening the trunk lid, remove any snow and ice accumulation on it.
Otherwise, the trunk lid could close under the weight of the snow and ice
resulting in injury.
●Be careful when opening/closing the trunk lid during strong winds. If a
strong gust blows against the trunk lid, it could close suddenly resulting in
injury.
●Fully open the trunk lid and make sure that it stays open. If the trunk lid is
only opened partially, it could slam shut by vibration or wind gusts resulting
in injury.
●When loading or unloading luggage in the trunk, turn off the engine. Other-
wise, you could get burned by the heat of the exhaust gas.

Your vehicle is equipped with an inside trunk release lever that pro-
vides a means of escape for children and adults in the event they
become locked inside the trunk.
No matter how careful adults might be with keys and locking their
cars, parents should be aware that children may be tempted to play
around vehicles and use the trunk as a hiding place.
Adults are advised to familiarize themselves with the operation and
location of the inside trunk release lever so that all children can be told
about it in an appropriate way, keeping in mind that most vehicles do
not have such levers.

WARNING
■Close the trunk lid, be sure the seat backs are latched and do not allow
children to play inside the vehicle
Leaving the trunk lid open or leaving children in the vehicle with the keys is
dangerous. Children could open the trunk lid and climb inside resulting in
possible injury or death from heat exposure.
■Always keep the car from being a tempting place to play by latching
the rear seats, doors and the trunk, and keeping the keys where chil-
dren can not play with them
Leaving children or animals unattended in a parked vehicle is dangerous.
Babies left sleeping and children who lock themselves in cars or trunks can
die very quickly from heat prostration. Do not leave your children or pets
alone in a car at any time. Do not leave the car, the rear folding seats or the
trunk unlocked.

2-4. Fuel and Emission
Fuel and Engine Exhaust Precautions
Vehicles with catalytic converters or oxygen sensors must use ONLY
UNLEADED FUEL, which will reduce exhaust emissions and keep
spark plug fouling to a minimum.
This vehicle will perform best with fuel listed in the table.
*U.S. federal law requires that octane ratings be posted on gasoline station
pumps.
Fuel with a rating lower than 87 octane (91 RON) could cause the
emission control system to lose effectiveness. It could also cause
engine knocking and serious engine damage.
Gasoline blended with oxygenates such as alcohol or ether com-
pounds are generally referred to as oxygenated fuels. The common
gasoline blend that can be used with your vehicle is ethanol blended
at no more than 10 %. Gasoline containing alcohol, such as ethanol or
methanol, may be marketed under the name “Gasohol”.
Vehicle damage and drivability problems resulting from the use of the
following may not be covered by the warranty.
●Gasohol containing more than 10 % ethanol.
●Gasoline or gasohol containing methanol.
●Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.
Fuel Requirements
Fuel Octane Rating* (Anti-knock index)
Regular unleaded
fuel 87 [(R M)/2 method] or above (91 RON or above)
NOTICE
●USE ONLY UNLEADED FUEL.
Leaded fuel is harmful to the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors and
will lead to deterioration of the emission control system and or failures.
●This vehicle can only use oxygenated fuels containing no more than 10 %
ethanol by volume. Damage to the vehicle may occur when ethanol
exceeds this recommendation, or if the gasoline contains any methanol.
Stop using gasohol of any kind if your vehicle engine is performing poorly.
●Never add fuel system additives, otherwise the emission control system
could be damaged. Consult your Toyota dealer for details.

Before Driving
This vehicle is equipped with an emission control system (the catalytic
converter is part of this system) that enables the vehicle to comply
with existing exhaust emissions requirements.
●Under U.S. federal law, any modification to the original-equipment emission
control system before the first sale and registration of a vehicle is subject to
penalties. In some states, such modification made on a used vehicle is also
subject to penalties.
●While the engine is off, the sound of a valve opening and closing can be
heard at the rear of the vehicle, however this does not indicate an abnormal-
ity. The vehicle has a selfchecking device and it operates while the engine is
off.

WARNING
■Never park over or near anything flammable
Parking over or near anything flammable, such as dry grass, is dangerous.
Even with the engine turned off, the exhaust system remains very hot after
normal use and could ignite anything flammable. A resulting fire could
cause serious injury or death.
NOTICE
Ignoring the following precautions could cause lead to accumulate on the
catalyst inside the converter or cause the converter to get very hot. Either
condition will damage the converter and cause poor performance.
●USE ONLY UNLEADED FUEL.
●Do not drive your Toyota with any sign of engine malfunction.
●Do not coast with the ignition switched off.
●Do not descend steep grades in gear with the ignition switched off.
●Do not operate the engine at high idle for more than 2 minutes.
●Do not tamper with the emission control system. All inspections and
adjustments must be made by a qualified technician.
●Do not push-start or pull-start your vehicle.

2-4. Fuel and Emission
Engine Exhaust (Carbon monoxide)
WARNING
■Do not drive your vehicle if you smell exhaust gas inside the vehicle
Engine exhaust gas is dangerous. This gas contains carbon monoxide
(CO), which is colorless, odorless, and poisonous. When inhaled, it can
cause loss of consciousness and death. If you smell exhaust gas inside the
vehicle, keep all windows fully open and contact your Toyota dealer immedi-
ately.
■Do not run the engine when inside an enclosed area
Running the engine inside an enclosed area, such as a garage, is danger-
ous. Exhaust gas, which contains poisonous carbon monoxide, could easily
enter the cabin. Loss of consciousness or even death could occur.
■Open the windows or adjust the heating or cooling system to draw
fresh air when idling the engine:
Exhaust gas is dangerous. When the vehicle is stopped with the windows
closed and the engine running for a long time even in an open area,
exhaust gas, which contains poisonous carbon monoxide, could enter the
cabin. Loss of consciousness or even death could occur.
■Clear snow from underneath and around your vehicle, particularly the
tail pipe, before starting the engine:
Running the engine when a vehicle is stopped in deep snow is dangerous.
The exhaust pipe could be blocked by the snow, allowing exhaust gas to
enter the cabin. Because exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monox-
ide, it could cause loss of consciousness or even death to occupants in the
cabin.

Fuel-Filler Lid and Cap
WARNING
■When removing the fuel-filler cap, loosen the cap slightly and wait for
any hissing to stop, then remove it
Fuel spray is dangerous. Fuel can burn skin and eyes and cause illness if
ingested. Fuel spray is released when there is pressure in the fuel tank and
the fuel-filler cap is removed too quickly.
■Before refueling, stop the engine, and always keep sparks and flames
away from the filler neck
Fuel vapor is dangerous. It could be ignited by sparks or flames causing
serious burns and injuries.
Additionally, use of the incorrect fuel-filler cap or not using a fuel-filler cap
may result in a fuel leak, which could result in serious burns or death in an
accident.
■Do not continue refueling after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automat-
ically
Continuing to add fuel after the fuel pump nozzle has shut off automatically
is dangerous because overfilling the fuel tank may cause fuel overflow or
leakage. Fuel overflow and leakage could damage the vehicle and if the fuel
ignites it could cause a fire and explosion resulting in serious injury or
death.
NOTICE
Always use only a genuine Toyota fuel-filler cap or an approved equivalent,
available at your Toyota dealer. The wrong cap can result in a serious mal-
function of the fuel and emission control systems. It may also cause the
check engine light in the combination meter to illuminate.

Saving Fuel and Protection of the Environment
How you operate your Toyota determines how far it will travel on a
tank of fuel. Use these suggestions to help save fuel and reduce CO2.
●Avoid long warm-ups. Once the engine runs smoothly, begin driv-
ing.
●Avoid fast starts.
●Drive at lower speeds.
●Anticipate when to apply the brakes (avoid sudden braking).
●Follow the maintenance schedule and have your Toyota dealer per-
form inspections and servicing.
●Use the air conditioner only when necessary.
●Slow down on rough roads.
●Keep the tires properly inflated.
●Do not carry unnecessary weight.
●Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while driving.
●Keep the wheels in correct alignment.
●Keep windows closed at high speeds.
●Slow down when driving in crosswinds and headwinds.
WARNING
■Never stop the engine when going down a hill

Hazardous Driving
When driving on ice or in water, snow, mud, sand, or similar hazards:
●Be cautious and allow extra distance for braking.
●Avoid sudden braking and sudden maneuvering.
●Do not pump the brakes. Continue to press down on the brake
pedal. Refer to Antilock Brake System (ABS) on P. 202.
●If you get stuck, select a lower gear and accelerate slowly. Do not
spin the front wheels.
●For more traction in starting on slippery surfaces such as ice or
packed snow, use sand, rock salt, chains, carpeting, or other non-
slip material under the front wheels.
Use snow chains only on the front wheels.
WARNING
■Be extremely careful if it is necessary to downshift on slippery sur-
faces
Downshifting into lower gear while driving on slippery surfaces is danger-
ous. The sudden change in tire speed could cause the tires to skid. This
could lead to loss of vehicle control and an accident.

Floor Mat
When setting a floor mat, position
the floor mat so that its grommets
are inserted over the pointed end
of the retention posts.
WARNING
■Make sure the floor mats are hooked on the retention pins to prevent
them from bunching up under the foot pedals
Using a floor mat that is not secured is dangerous as it will interfere with the
accelerator and brake pedal operation, which could result in an accident.
■Do not install two floor mats, one on top of the other, on the driver’s
side
Installing two floor mats, one on top of the other, on the driver’s side is dan-
gerous as the retention pins can only keep one floor mat from sliding for-
ward.
If using a heavy duty floor mat for winter use always remove the original
floor mat.
Loose floor mat(s) will interfere with the foot pedal and could result in an
accident.

2-9. Driving Tips
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 antifreeze in the radiator.
Refer to Engine Coolant on P. 455.
●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. 453).
●Inspect the ignition system for damage and loose connections.
●Use washer fluid made with antifreezebut do not use engine cool-
ant antifreeze for washer fluid (P. 459).
●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.

Before Driving
■Use snow tires on all four wheels
Do not go faster than 75 mph (120 km/h) while driving with snow
tires. Inflate snow tires 30 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm2, 4.3 psi) more than rec-
ommended on the tire pressure label (driver’s door frame), but
never more than the maximum cold-tire pressure shown on the
tires.
The vehicle is originally equipped with all season radials designed
to be used all year around. In some extreme climates you may find
it necessary to replace them with snow tires during the winter
months to further improve traction on snow and ice covered roads.
Check local regulations before using tire chains.
Install the chains on the front tires only.
Do not use chains on the rear tires.
Please consult your Toyota dealer.
■Installing the chains
If your vehicle is equipped with wheel covers remove them, oth-
erwise the chain bands will scratch them.
Secure the chains on the front tires as tightly as possible.
Always follow the chain manufacturer’s instructions.
Retighten the chains after driving 1/4—1/2 mile (1/2—1 km).
If your vehicle is equipped with the tire pressure monitoring system, the
system may not function correctly when using tire chains.
Snow Tires
WARNING
■Use only the same size and type tires (snow, radial, or non-radial)
on all four wheels
Using tires different in size or type is dangerous. Your vehicle’s handling
could be greatly affected and result in an accident.

in ACC), the ignition switches off automatically after about 25 minutes.
■ACC (Accessory)
The keyless entry system does not function while the push button start has
been pressed to ACC, and the doors will not lock/unlock even if they have
been locked manually.
■ON
When the push button start is pressed to ON, the sound of the fuel pump
motor operating near the fuel tank can be heard. This does not indicate an
abnormality.
WARNING
■Before leaving the driver’s seat, set the parking brake, make sure the
selector lever is in 1st gear or R (manual transaxle) or in P (automatic
transaxle), and always switch the ignition off
Leaving the driver’s seat without setting the parking brake, shifting the

WARNING
■Do not use sudden engine braking on slippery road surfaces or at high
speeds
Shifting down while driving on wet, snowy, or frozen roads, or while driving
at high speeds causes sudden engine braking, which is dangerous. The
sudden change in tire speed could cause the tires to skid. This could lead to
loss of vehicle control and an accident.
■Always leave the shift lever in 1 or R position and set the parking brake
when leaving the vehicle unattended
Otherwise the vehicle could move and cause an accident.

When Driving
The gear shift indicator supports you to obtain optimum fuel economy
and smooth driving. It displays the selected gear position in the com-
bination meter as well as notifies the driver to change to the most suit-
able gear position corresponding to the actual driving condition.
Selected gear position
Suitable gear position
The gear shift indicator turns off when the following operations are performed.
●The vehicle is stopped.
●The vehicle is put in neutral.
●The vehicle is driven in reverse.
●The clutch is not fully engaged when accelerating from a stop.
●The clutch pedal remains depressed for 2 seconds or longer while driving.
NOTICE
●Keep your foot off the clutch pedal except when shifting gears. Also, do
not use the clutch to hold the vehicle on an upgrade. Riding the clutch will
cause needless clutch wear and damage.
●Do not apply any excessive lateral force to the shift lever when changing
from 5th to 4th gear. This could lead to the accidental selection of 2nd
gear, which could result in damage to the transaxle.
●Make sure the vehicle comes to a complete stop before shifting to R. Shift-
ing to R while the vehicle is still moving may damage the transaxle.

■Downshifting
When you must slow down in heavy traffic or on a steep upgrade,
downshift before the engine starts to overwork. This reduces the
chance of stalling and gives better acceleration when you need
more speed.
On a steep downgrade, downshifting helps maintain safe speed
and prolongs brake life.

Automatic Transaxle Controls
Various Lockouts:
The Sport AT has an option that is not included in the traditional automatic
transaxle that gives the driver the option of selecting each gear instead of
leaving it to the transaxle to shift gears. Even if you intend to use the auto-
matic transaxle functions as a traditional automatic, you should also be aware
that you can inadvertently shift into manual shift mode and an inappropriate
gear may be retained as the vehicle speed increases. If you notice the engine
speed going higher or hear the engine racing, confirm you have not acciden-
tally slipped into manual shift mode (P. 176).

●The selector lever must be in P or N to operate the starter.
■P (Park)
P locks the transaxle and prevents the front wheels from rotating.
■R (Reverse)
In position R, the vehicle moves only backward. You must be at a
complete stop before shifting to or from R, except under rare cir-
cumstances as explained in Rocking the Vehicle (P. 135).
■N (Neutral)
In N, the wheels and transaxle are not locked. The vehicle will roll
freely even on the slightest incline unless the parking brake or
brakes are on.
Apply the parking brake or depress the brake pedal before moving the
selector lever from N to prevent the vehicle from moving unexpectedly.
■D (Drive)
D is the normal driving position. From a stop, the transaxle will
automatically shift through a 6-gearsequence.

on P. 176.
WARNING
■Always set the selector lever to P and set the parking brake when park-
ing
Only setting the selector lever to the P position without using the parking
brake to hold the vehicle is dangerous. If P fails to hold, the vehicle could
move and cause an accident.
■If the engine is running faster than idle, do not shift from N or P into a
driving gear
It’s dangerous to shift from N or P into a driving gear when the engine is run-
ning faster than idle. If this is done, the vehicle could move suddenly, caus-
ing an accident or serious injury.
■Do not shift into N when driving the vehicle
Shifting into N while driving is dangerous. Engine braking cannot be applied
when decelerating which could lead to an accident or serious injury.
NOTICE
●Shifting into P, N or R while the vehicle is moving can damage your tran-
saxle.
●Shifting into a driving gear or reverse when the engine is running faster
than idle can damage the transaxle.
●Do not shift into N when driving the vehicle. Doing so can cause transaxle
damage.

When Driving
Active Adaptive Shift (AAS) automatically controls the transaxle shift
points to best suit the road conditions and driver input. This improves
driving feel. The transaxle may switch to AAS mode when driving up
and down slopes, cornering, driving at high elevations, or depressing
the accelerator pedal quickly while the selector lever is in the D posi-
tion. Depending on the road and driving conditions/vehicle operations,
gear shifting could be delayed or not occur, however, this does not
indicate a problem because the AAS mode will maintain the optimum
gear position.
The shift-lock system prevents shifting out of P unless the brake pedal
is depressed.
To shift from P:
Depress and hold the brake pedal.
Start the engine.
Press and hold the lock-release button.
Move the selector lever.
●When the ignition is switched to ACC or the ignition is switched off, the
selector lever cannot be shifted from P.
●The ignition cannot be switched to OFF if the selector lever is not in P.

■Second gear fixed mode
When the selector lever is moved back while the vehicle speed is
about 6.2 mph (10 km/h) or less, the transaxle is set in the second
gear fixed mode. The gear is fixed in second while in this mode for
easier acceleration from a stop and driving on slippery roads such
as snow-covered roads.
If the selector lever is moved back or forward while in the sec-
ond gear fixed mode, the mode will be canceled.

■Shift gear (shifting) speed limit
For each gear position while in the manual mode, the speed limit is
set as follows: When the selector lever is operated within the range
of the speed limit, the gear is shifted.
●Shift up
The gear does not shift up while the vehicle speed is lower than
the speed limit.
●Shift down
The gear does not shift down while the vehicle speed exceeds
the speed limit.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit and the gear does
not shift down, the gear position indication flashes 2 times to
notify the driver that the gear cannot be shifted.
●Kickdown
When the accelerator pedal is depressed fully while driving, the
gear shifts down.
The gear also shifts down using kickdown while in the second gear
fixed mode.
●Auto-shift down
The gear shifts down automatically depending on the vehicle
speed during deceleration.
If the vehicle comes to a stop while in the second gear fixed mode,
the gear remains in second.

■Recommendations for shifting
●Upshifting
For normal acceleration and cruising, Toyota recommends these
shift points:
*1: Always observe local speed limit regulations.
●Downshifting
When you must slow down in heavy traffic or on a steep upgrade,
downshift before the engine starts to overwork. This gives better
acceleration when you need more speed.
On a steep downgrade, downshifting helps maintain safe speed
and prolongs brake life.
■Manual Shift Mode
●Changing to manual shift mode while driving will not damage the transaxle.
●If you change to manual shift mode when the vehicle is stopped, the gear
will shift to M1.
●If you change to manual shift mode without depressing the accelerator
pedal when driving in D range, 5th gear/6th gear, the gear will shift to M4/
M5.
■Indicators
●If the gears cannot be shifted down when driving at higher speeds, the gear
position indication will flash twice to signal that the gears cannot be shifted
down (to protect the transaxle).
●If the automatic transaxle fluid (ATF) temperature becomes too high, there is
the possibility that the transaxle will switch to automatic shift mode, cancel-
ing manual shift mode and turning off the gear position indication illumina-
tion. This is a normal function to protect the AT. After the ATF temperature
has decreased, the gear position indication illumination turns back on and
driving in manual shift mode is restored.

When Driving
■Manually shifting up
●When driving slowly, the gears may not shift up.
●In manual shift mode, do not run the engine with the tachometer needle in
the RED ZONE. When the engine rpm is high, a gear may shift up automat-
ically to protect the engine.
●When depressing the accelerator fully, the transaxle will shift to a lower
gear, depending on vehicle speed.
●The steering shift switch can be used temporarily even if the selector lever is
in the D position while driving. In addition, it returns to automatic shift mode
when the UP switch ( ) is pulled rearward for a sufficient amount of
time.
■Manually shifting down
●When driving at high speeds, the gear may not shift down.
●During deceleration, the gear may automatically shift down depending on
vehicle speed.
●When depressing the accelerator fully, the transaxle will shift to a lower
gear, depending on vehicle speed.
WARNING
■Do not use engine braking on slippery road surfaces or at high speeds
Shifting down while driving on wet, snowy, or frozen roads, or while driving
at high speeds causes sudden engine braking, which is dangerous. The
sudden change in tire speed could cause the tires to skid. This could lead to
loss of vehicle control and an accident.
■Keep your hands on the steering wheel rim when using fingers on the
steering shift switches
Putting your hands inside the rim of the steering wheel when using the
steering shift switches is dangerous. If the driver’s air bag were to deploy in
a collision, your hands could be impacted causing injury.

Direct mode can be used for temporarily switching gears by operating
the steering shift switch while the vehicle is being driven with the
selector lever in the D range.
While in direct mode, the D and M
indication illuminate and the gear
position in use is illuminated.
Direct mode is canceled (released) under the following conditions.
●The UP switch ( ) is pulled rearward for a certain amount of
time or longer.
●The vehicle is driven for a certain amount of time or longer (time dif-
fers depending on the driving conditions while operating).
●The vehicle is stopped or moving at a slow speed.
Shifting up and down while in direct mode may not be possible depending on
the vehicle speed. In addition, because direct mode is canceled (released)
depending on the rate of acceleration or if the accelerator is fully depressed,
use of the manual shift mode is recommended if you need to drive the vehicle
in a particular gear for long periods.

■Passing
For extra power when passing another vehicle or climbing steep
grades, depress the accelerator fully. The transaxle will shift to a
lower gear, depending on vehicle speed.
Some models:
The accelerator pedal may initially feel heavy as it is being depressed,
then feel lighter as it is depressed further. This change in pedal force
aids the engine control system in determining how much the accelerator
pedal has been depressed for performing kickdown, and functions to
control whether or not kickdown should be performed.
■Climbing steep grades from a stop
To climb a steep grade from a stopped position:
Depress the brake pedal.
Shift to D or M1, depending on the load weight and grade steep-
ness.
Release the brake pedal while gradually accelerating.
■Descending steep grades
When descending a steep grade, shift to lower gears, depending on
load weight and grade steepness. Descend slowly, using the
brakes only occasionally to prevent them from overheating.
Driving Tips
WARNING
■Do not let the vehicle move in a direction opposite to the direction
selected by the selector lever
Do not let the vehicle move backward with the selector lever in a forward
position, or do not let the vehicle move forward with the selector lever in the
reverse position. Otherwise, the engine may stop, causing the loss of the
power brake and power steering functions, and make it difficult to control
the vehicle which could result in an accident.

Windshield Wipers and Washer
The ignition must be switched ON to use the wipers.
Because heavy ice and snow can jam the wiper blades, the wiper motor is
protected from motor breakdown, overheating and possible fire by a circuit
breaker. This mechanism will automatically stop operation of the blades, but
only for about 5 minutes.
If this happens, turn off the wiper switch and park off the right-of-way, and
remove the snow and ice.
After 5 minutes, turn on the switch and the blades should operate normally. If
they do not resume functioning, consult your Toyota dealer as soon as possi-
ble. Drive to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way. Wait until the
weather clears before trying to drive with the wipers inoperative.
WARNING
■Use only windshield washer fluid or plain water in the reservoir
Using radiator antifreeze as washer fluid is dangerous. If sprayed on the
windshield, it will dirty the windshield, affect your visibility, and could result
in an accident.
■Only use windshield washer fluid mixed with anti-freeze protection in
freezing weather conditions
Using windshield washer fluid without anti-freeze protection in freezing
weather conditions is dangerous as it could freeze on the windshield and
block your vision which could cause an accident. In addition, make sure the
windshield is sufficiently warmed using the defroster before spraying the
washer fluid.

3-5. Brake
Brake System
This vehicle has power-assisted brakes that adjust automatically
through normal use.
Should power-assist fail, you can stop by applying greater force than
normal to the brake pedal. But the distance required to stop will be
greater than usual.
Foot Brake
WARNING
■Do not coast with the engine stalled or turned off, find a safe place to
stop
Coasting with the engine stalled or turned off is dangerous. Braking will
require more effort, and the brake’s power-assist could be depleted if you
pump the brake. This will cause longer stopping distances or even an acci-
dent.
■Shift to a lower gear when going down steep hills
Driving with your foot continuously on the brake pedal or steadily applying
the brakes for long distances is dangerous. This causes overheated brakes,
resulting in longer stopping distances or even total brake failure. This could
cause loss of vehicle control and a serious accident. Avoid continuous
application of the brakes.
■Dry off brakes that have become wet by driving slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying the brakes several times until
the brake performance returns to normal
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous. Increased stopping distance or the
vehicle pulling to one side when braking could result in a serious accident.
Light braking will indicate whether the brakes have been affected.
■To apply the brakes correctly
●Wear shoes appropriate for driving in order to avoid your shoe contacting
the brake pedal when depressing the accelerator pedal.
●Always depress the brake pedal with
the right foot. Applying the brakes with
the unaccustomed left foot could slow
your reaction time to an emergency sit-
uation resulting in insufficient braking
operation.

When Driving
During emergency braking situations when it is necessary to depress
the brake pedal with greater force, the brake assist system provides
braking assistance, thus enhancing braking performance.
When the brake pedal is depressed hard or depressed more quickly,
the brakes apply more firmly.
●When the brake pedal is depressed hard or depressed more quickly, the
pedal will feel softer but the brakes will apply more firmly. This is a normal
effect of the brake assist operation and does not indicate a malfunction.
●When the brake pedal is depressed hard or depressed more quickly, a
motor/pump operation noise may be heard. This is a normal effect of the
brake assist and does not indicate a malfunction.
●The brake assist equipment does not supersede the functionality of the
vehicle’s main braking system.
Brake Assist

Hill Start Assist
For vehicles with a manual transaxle, Hill Start Assist operates on a
downward slope when the shift lever is in the reverse (R) position, and
on an upward slope when the shift lever is in a position other than the
reverse (R) position.
For vehicles with an automatic transaxle, Hill Start Assist operates on
a downward slope when the shift lever is in the reverse (R) position,
and on an upward slope when the shift lever is in a forward gear.
●Hill Start Assist does not operate on a gentle slope. In addition, the gradient
of the slope on which the system will operate changes depending on the
vehicle’s load.
●Hill Start Assist does not operate if the parking brake is applied, the vehicle
has not stopped completely, or the clutch pedal is released.
●While Hill Start Assist is operating, the brake pedal may feel stiff and vibrate,
however, this does not indicate a malfunction.
●Hill Start Assist does not operate while the TRAC/VSC indicator light is illu-
minated.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on P. 164.
●Hill Start Assist does not turn off even if the VSC OFF switch is pressed to
turn off the TRAC/VSC.
: If equipped
Hill Start Assist is a function which assists the driver in acceler-
ating from a stop while on a slope. When the driver releases the
brake pedal and depresses the accelerator pedal while on a
slope, the function prevents the vehicle from rolling. The brak-
ing force is maintained automatically after the brake pedal is
released on a steep grade.

When Driving
WARNING
■Do not rely completely on Hill Start Assist
Hill Start Assist is an auxiliary device for accelerating from a stop on a
slope. The system only operates for about two seconds and therefore, rely-
ing only on the system, when accelerating from a stop is dangerous
because the vehicle may move (roll) unexpectedly and cause an accident.
The vehicle could roll depending on the vehicle’s load or if it is towing some-
thing. In addition, for vehicles with a manual transaxle, the vehicle could still
roll depending on how the clutch pedal or the accelerator pedal is operated.
Always confirm the safety around the vehicle before starting to drive the
vehicle.

3-6. ABS/TRAC/VSC
Antilock Brake System (ABS)
The driver will feel a slight vibration in the brake pedal and may hear a
chattering noise from the brake system. This is normal ABS system
operation. Continue to depress the brake pedal without pumping the
brakes.
The warning light turns on when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Warning Lights on P. 165.
●Braking distances may be longer on loose surfaces (snow or gravel, for
example) which usually have a hard foundation. A vehicle with a normal
braking system may require less distance to stop under these conditions
because the tires will build up a wedge of surface layer when the wheels
skid.
●The sound of the ABS operating may be heard when starting the engine or
immediately after starting the vehicle, however, it does not indicate a mal-
function.
The ABS control unit continuously monitors the speed of each
wheel. If one wheel is about to lock up, the ABS responds by
automatically releasing and reapplying that wheel’s brake.
WARNING
■Do not rely on ABS as a substitute for safe driving
The ABS cannot compensate for unsafe and reckless driving, excessive
speed, tailgating (following another vehicle too closely), driving on ice and
snow, and hydroplaning (reduced tire friction and road contact because of
water on the road surface). You can still have an accident.

When Driving
Traction Control (TRAC)
The warning light turns on when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Warning Lights on P. 165.
To turn off the TRAC, press the VSC OFF switch (P. 206).
The Traction Control (TRAC) enhances traction and safety by
controlling engine torque and braking. When the TRAC detects
driving wheel slippage, it lowers engine torque and operates the
brakes to prevent loss of traction.
This means that on a slick surface, the engine adjusts automati-
cally to provide optimum power to the drive wheels, limiting
wheel spin and loss of traction.
WARNING
■Do not rely on the Traction Control (TRAC) as a substitute for safe driv-
ing
The Traction Control (TRAC) cannot compensate for unsafe and reckless
driving, excessive speed, tailgating (following another vehicle too closely),
and hydroplaning (reduced tire friction and road contact because of water
on the road surface). You can still have an accident.
■Use snow tires or tire chains and drive at reduced speeds when roads
are covered with ice and/or snow
Driving without proper traction devices on snow and/or ice-covered roads is
dangerous. The Traction Control (TRAC) alone cannot provide adequate
traction and you could still have an accident.

Low Speed Pre-Collision System
: If equipped
Low Speed Pre-Collision System is designed to reduce damage
in the event of a collision by operating the brake control (Low
Speed Pre-Collision System brake) when the system’s laser sen-
sor detects a vehicle ahead and determines that a collision with
a vehicle ahead is unavoidable. It may also be possible to avoid
a collision if the relative speed between your vehicle and a vehi-
cle ahead is less than about 12 mph (20 km/h).
In addition, when the driver depresses the brake pedal while the

WARNING
■Do not rely on the Low Speed Pre-Collision System as a substitute for
safer driving
The Low Speed Pre-Collision System cannot compensate for unsafe and
reckless driving, excessive speed, tailgating (following another vehicle too
closely), and driving on slippery roads such as wet, snowy, and icy roads
(reduced tire friction and road contact because of water on the road sur-
face). You can still have an accident.
■Do not rely completely on the Low Speed Pre-Collision System
●The Low Speed Pre-Collision System is only designed to reduce damage
in the event of a collision. Over reliance on the system leading to the
accelerator pedal or brake pedal being mistakenly operated could result in
an accident.
●The Low Speed Pre-Collision System is a system which operates in
response to a vehicle ahead. The system may not be able to detect or
react to two-wheeled vehicles or pedestrians.
●The laser sensor for the Low Speed Pre-Collision System is installed near
the rearview mirror. To assure the correct operation of the Low Speed Pre-
Collision System, heed the following cautions.
• Do not apply stickers to the surface of the windshield near the laser
sensor (including transparent stickers). Otherwise, the laser sensor
may not be able to detect vehicles ahead which could result in an acci-
dent.
• Do not apply coating agent to the windshield. Otherwise, the laser sen-
sor may not be able to detect vehicles or obstructions in front which
could result in an accident.
• Do not disassemble the laser sensor.
• If cracks or damage caused by flying gravel or debris is visible near
the laser sensor, stop using the Low Speed Pre-Collision System
immediately and have your vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer. If
the vehicle continues to be driven with cracks or scratch marks left on
the windshield near the laser sensor, the system may operate unnec-
essarily and cause an unexpected accident.
Refer to Stopping The Low Speed Pre-Collision System Operation on
P. 232.
• When replacing the windshield wipers or windshield, consult your
Toyota dealer.
●The laser sensor includes a function for detecting a soiled windshield and
informing the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may not
detect plastic shopping bags, ice or snow on the windshield. In such
cases, the system cannot accurately determine a vehicle ahead and may
not be able to operate normally. Always drive carefully and pay attention to
the road ahead.

YARIS_SEDAN_OM_OM99M18z_(U)
3-12. Tire Pressure Monitoring System
NOTICE
●Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated
on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should deter-
mine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pres-
sure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates,
you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated
tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-infla-
tion also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indica-
tor to indicate when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure
telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash
for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illumi-
nated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups
as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function prop-
erly.
●To avoid false readings, the system samples for a little while before
indicating a problem. As a result it will not instantaneously register a
rapid tire deflation or blow out.

NOTICE
If the system initialization is performed without adjusting the tire pres-
sure, the system cannot detect the normal tire pressure and it may not
illuminate the tire pressure monitoring system warning light even if a tire
pressure is low, or it may illuminate the light even if the pressures are
normal.
Adjust the tire pressure on all four tires and initialize the system when
the warning light is turned on. If the warning light turns on for a reason
other than a flat tire, the tire pressure of all four tires may have
decreased naturally.
The system initialization will not be performed if the switch is pressed
while the vehicle is being driven.

Operating Tips
●Operate the climate control system with the engine running.
●To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not leave the fan
control dial on for a long period of time with the ignition switched
ON when the engine is not running.
●Clear all obstructions such as leaves, snow and ice from the hood
and the air inlet in the cowl grille to improve the system efficiency.
●Use the climate control system to defog the windows and dehumid-
ify the air.
●The recirculate mode should be used when driving through tunnels
or while in a traffic jam, or when you would like to shut off outside
air for quick cooling of the interior.
●Use the outside air position for ventilation or windshield defrosting.
●If the vehicle has been parked in direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows to let warm air escape, then run the climate con-
trol system.
●Run the air conditioner about 10 minutes at least once a month to
keep internal parts lubricated.
●Have the air conditioner
checked before the weather
gets hot. Lack of refrigerant
may make the air conditioner
less efficient.
The refrigerant specifications
are indicated on a label
attached to the inside of the
engine compartment. Check
the label before refilling the
refrigerant. If the wrong type of
refrigerant is used, it could
result in a serious malfunction
of the air conditioner.

WARNING
■Always adjust the audio while the vehicle is stopped
Do not adjust the audio control switches while driving the vehicle. Adjusting
the audio while driving the vehicle is dangerous as it could distract your
attention from the vehicle operation which could lead to a serious accident.
Even if the audio control switches are equipped on the steering wheel, learn
to use the switches without looking down at them so that you can keep your
maximum attention on the road while driving the vehicle.
NOTICE

■AM characteristics
AM signals bend around such things as buildings or mountains and
bounce off the ionosphere.
Therefore, they can reach longer distances than FM signals.
Because of this, two stations may sometimes be picked up on the
same frequency at the same time.
Ionosphere
Station 2
Station 1
■FM characteristics
An FM broadcast range is usually about 25 - 30 miles (40 - 50 km)
from the source. Because of extra coding needed to break the
sound into two channels, stereo FM has even less range than mon-
aural (non-stereo) FM.

Interior Features
Signals from an FM transmitter are similar to beams of light
because they do not bend around corners, but they do reflect.
Unlike AM signals, FM signals cannot travel beyond the horizon.
Therefore, FM stations cannot be received at the great distances
possible with AM reception.

●Multipath noise
Since FM signals can be reflected by obstructions, it is possible
to receive both the direct signal and the reflected signal at the
same time. This causes a slight delay in reception and may be
heard as a broken sound or a distortion. This problem may also
be encountered when in close proximity to the transmitter.
Direct
Reflected wave
●Flutter/Skip noise
Signals from an FM transmit-
ter move in straight lines and
become weak in valleys
between tall buildings, moun-
tains, and other obstacles.
When a vehicle passes
through such an area, the
reception conditions may
change suddenly, resulting in
annoying noise.
●Weak signal noise
In suburban areas, broadcast
signals become weak
because of distance from the
transmitter. Reception in
such fringe areas is charac-
terized by sound breakup.

●Strong signal noise
This occurs very close to a
transmitter tower. The broad-
cast signals are extremely
strong, so the result is noise
and sound breakup at the
radio receiver.
●Station drift noise
When a vehicle reaches the area of two strong stations broad-
casting at similar frequencies, the original station may be tempo-
rarily lost and the second station picked up. At this time there will
be some noise from this disturbance.

■Condensation phenomenon
Immediately after turning on the heater when the vehicle is cold, the
CD or optical components (prism and lens) in the CD player may
become clouded with condensation. At this time, the CD will eject
immediately when placed in the unit.
A clouded CD can be corrected simply by wiping it with a soft cloth.
Clouded optical components will clear naturally in about an hour.

signal surface when handling
the CDs. Pick up a CD by
grasping the outer edge or
the edge of the hole and the
outer edge.
●Do not stick paper or tape on the CD. Avoid scratching the
reverse side (the side without a label). The disc may not eject
resulting in a malfunction.
●Dust, finger smudges, and dirt can decrease the amount of light
reflected from the signal surface, thus affecting sound quality. If
the CD should become soiled, gently wipe it with a soft cloth from
the center of the CD to the edge.
●Do not use record sprays, antistatic agents, or household spray
cleaners. Volatile chemicals such as benzine and thinner can
also damage the surface of the CD and must not be used. Any-
thing that can damage, warp, or fog plastic should never be used
to clean CDs.
●The CD player ejects the CD if the CD is inserted upside down.
Also dirty and/ or defective CDs may be ejected.
●Do not insert cleaning discs in the CD player.
●Do not insert any disc with a peel-off seal affixed to it.
●This unit may not be able to play certain CD-R/CD-RWs made
using a computer or music CD recorder due to disc characteris-
tics, scratches, smudges, dirt, etc., or due to dust or condensa-
tion on the lens inside the unit.
●Storing CDs in the vehicle exposed to direct sunlight or high tem-
perature may damage the CD-R/CD-RWs, and make them
unplayable.

analog broadcasts it already receives. Digital broadcasts have
better sound quality than analog broadcasts as digital broadcasts
provide free, crystal clear audio. For more information, and a
guide to available radio stations and programming, please visit
www.hdradio.com.
●Benefits of HD Radio™ Technology
Information:
The song title, artist name, album name
and genre will appear on the screen when available by the radio
station.
Multicast:
On the FM radio frequency most digital stations have “multiple”
or supplemental programs on each FM station.

5-1. Essential Information
Introduction
Be extremely careful and prevent injury to yourself and others or dam-
age to your vehicle when using this manual for inspection and mainte-
nance.
If you are unsure about any procedure it describes, we strongly urge
you to have a reliable and qualified service shop perform the work,
preferably your Toyota dealer.
Factory-trained Toyota technicians and genuine Toyota parts are best
for your vehicle. Without this expertise and the parts that have been
designed and made especially for your Toyota, inadequate, incom-
plete, and insufficient servicing may result in problems. This could
lead to vehicle damage or an accident and injuries.
For expert advice and quality service, consult your Toyota dealer.
To continue warranty eligibility and to protect your investment, it is
your responsibility to properly maintain your vehicle according to fac-
tory recommended schedules outlined in this manual. As part of this
you must keep your maintenance records, receipts, repair orders and
any other documents as evidence this maintenance was performed.
You must present these documents, should any warranty coverage
disagreement occur. Failure to do so can result in your warranty being
voided either in whole or in part.
This evidence may consist of the following:
●The Toyota Scheduled Maintenance Record, refer to the “Owner’s
Warranty Information Booklet” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement/
Scheduled Maintenance Guide”, must be completely filled out
showing mileage, repair order number, date for each service, and
signed by a qualified automotive service technician who service
vehicles.
●Original copies of repair orders or other receipts that include the
mileage and date the vehicle was serviced. Each receipt should be
signed by a qualified automotive service technician.
●For self maintenance, a statement that you completed the mainte-
nance yourself, displaying mileage and the date the work was per-
formed. Also, receipts for the replacement parts (fluid, filters, etc.)
indicating the date and mileage must accompany this statement.

Maintenance and Care
If you elect to perform maintenance yourself or have your vehicle serviced at
a location other than your Toyota dealer, Toyota requires that all fluids, parts
and materials must meet Toyota standards for durability and performance as
described in this manual.
Claims against the warranty resulting from lack of maintenance, as
opposed to defective materials or authorized Toyota workmanship, will
not be honored.
Any auto repair shop using parts equivalent to your Toyota’s original
equipment may perform maintenance. But we recommend that it
always be done by your Toyota dealer using genuine Toyota parts.
Selecting “Maintenance Monitor” enables the system to notify you of
your vehicle’s approaching inspection/servicing period (P. 444).

Maintenance and Care
WARNING
■Do not perform maintenance work if you lack sufficient knowledge and
experience or the proper tools and equipment to do the work. Have
maintenance work done by a qualified technician
Performing maintenance work on a vehicle is dangerous if not done prop-
erly. You can be seriously injured while performing some maintenance pro-
cedures.
■If you must run the engine while working under the hood, make certain
that you remove all jewelry (especially rings, bracelets, watches, and
necklaces) and all neckties, scarves, and similar loose clothing before
getting near the engine or cooling fan which may turn on unexpectedly
Working under the hood with the engine running is dangerous. It becomes
even more dangerous when you wear jewelry or loose clothing.
Either can become entangled in moving parts and result in injury.
■ Switch the ignition to off and make sure the fan is not running
before attempting to work near the cooling fan
Working near the cooling fan when it is running is dangerous. The fan could
continue running indefinitely even if the engine has stopped and the engine
compartment temperature is high. You could be hit by the fan and seriously
injured.
■Do not leave items in the engine compartment
After you have finished checking or doing servicing in the engine compart-
ment, do not forget and leave items such as tools or rags in the engine com-
partment.
Tools or other items left in the engine compartment could cause engine
damage or a fire leading to an unexpected accident.

Maintenance and Care
NOTICE
●Radiator coolant will damage paint. Rinse it off quickly if spilled.
●Use only soft (demineralized) water in the coolant mixture. Water that con-
tains minerals will cut down on the coolant’s effectiveness.
●Do not add only water. Always add a proper coolant mixture.
●The engine has aluminum parts and must be protected by an ethylene-gly-
col- based coolant to prevent corrosion and freezing.
●DO NOT USE coolants Containing Alcohol, methanol, Borate or Silicate.
These coolants could damage the cooling system.
●DO NOT MIX alcohol or methanol with the coolant. This could damage the
cooling system.
●Do not use a solution that contains more than 60% antifreeze.
This would reduce effectiveness.
●Use of “Engine Coolant required” is recommended when replacing engine
coolant. Using engine coolant other than required may cause serious
damage to the engine and cooling system.

Brake/Clutch Fluid
The brakes and clutch draw fluid
from the same reservoir.
Inspect the fluid level in the reser-
voir regularly. It should be kept
between the MAX and MIN lines.
The level normally drops with
accumulated distance, a condition
associated with wear of brake and
clutch linings. If it is excessively
low, have the brake/clutch system
inspected by your Toyota dealer.
Inspecting Brake/Clutch Fluid Level
WARNING
■If the brake/clutch fluid level is low, have the brakes inspected
A low brake/clutch fluid level is dangerous.

Maintenance and Care
●When raising both windshield wiper arms, raise the driver’s side wiper arm
first. When lowering the wiper arms, slowly lower the wiper arm from the
passenger’s side first while supporting it with your hand. Forcefully lowering
the wiper arms could damage the wiper arm and blade, and may scratch or
crack the windshield.
●Install the blade so that the tabs are toward the bottom of the wiper arm.
NOTICE
●Hot waxes applied by automatic car washers have been known to affect
the wiper’s ability to clean windows.
●To prevent damage to the wiper blades, do not use gasoline, kerosene,
paint thinner, or other solvents on or near them.
●To prevent damage to the wiper arms and other components, do not try to
sweep the wiper arm by hand.
●To prevent damage to the windshield let the wiper arm down easily, don’t
let it slap down on the windshield.
●Do not bend or discard the stiffeners. You need to use them again.
●If the metal stiffeners are switched, the blade’s wiping efficiency could be
reduced.
So don’t use the driver’s side metal stiffeners on the passenger’s side, or
vice versa.
●Be sure to reinstall the metal stiffeners in the new blade rubber so that the
curve is the same as it was in the old blade rubber.

Tires
Inspect all tire pressures monthly (including the spare) when the tires
are cold. Maintain recommended pressures for the best ride, han-
dling, and minimum tire wear.
Refer to the specification charts (P. 596).
Vehicles with tire pressure monitoring system:
After adjusting the tire pressure, initialization of the tire pressure mon-
itoring system is necessary to make the system operate normally.
Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System Initialization on P. 245.
●Always check tire pressure when tires are cold.
●Warm tires normally exceed recommended pressures. Do not release
air from warm tires to adjust the pressure.
●Underinflation can cause reduced fuel economy, uneven and acceler-
ated tire wear, and poor sealing of the tire bead, which will deform the
wheel and cause separation of tire from rim.
●Overinflation can produce a harsh ride, uneven and accelerated tire
wear, and a greater possibility of damage from road hazards.
For reasons of proper performance, safety, and better fuel econ-
omy, always maintain recommended tire inflation pressures and
stay within the recommended load limits and weight distribu-
tion.
WARNING
■Using Different Tire Types
Driving your vehicle with different types of tires is dangerous. It could
cause poor handling and poor braking; leading to loss of control.
Except for the limited use of the temporary spare tire, use only the same
type tires (radial, bias-belted, bias-type) on all four wheels.
■Using Wrong-Sized Tires
Using any other tire size than what is specified for the vehicle (P. 596)
is dangerous. It could seriously affect ride, handling, ground clearance,
tire clearance, and speedometer calibration. This could cause you to
have an accident. Use only tires that are the correct size specified for
the vehicle.
Tire Inflation Pressure

471
5-3. Owner Maintenance
5
Maintenance and Care
Keep your tire pressure at the correct levels. If one frequently needs
inflating, have it inspected.
During rotation, inspect them for
correct balance.
Also, inspect them for uneven wear and damage. Abnormal wear is
usually caused by one or a combination of the following:
●Incorrect tire pressure
●Improper wheel alignment
●Out-of-balance wheel
●Severe braking
After rotation, inflate all tire pressures to specification (P. 596) and
inspect the lug nuts for tightness.
Vehicles with tire pressure monitoring system:
After adjusting the tire pressure, initialization of the tire pressure mon-
itoring system is necessary to make the system operate normally.
WARNING
■Always inflate the tires to the correct pressure
Overinflation or underinflation of tires is dangerous. Adverse handling or
unexpected tire failure could result in a serious accident.
Refer to Tires on (P. 596).
■Use only a Toyota-genuine tire valve cap
Use of a non-genuine part is dangerous as the correct tire air pressure
cannot be maintained if the tire valve becomes damaged. If the vehicle
is driven under this condition, the tire air pressure will decrease which
could result in a serious accident. Do not use any part for the tire valve
cap that is not a Toyota-genuine part.

Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System Initialization on P. 245.
If a tire wears evenly, a wear indi-
cator will appear as a solid band
across the tread.
Replace the tire when this hap-
pens.
You should replace the tire before the band crosses the entire tread.
Vehicles with tire pressure monitoring system:
After adjusting the tire pressure, initialization of the tire pressure mon-
itoring system is necessary to make the system operate normally.
Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System Initialization on P. 245.
Tires degrade over time, even when they are not being used on the road.
It is recommended that tires generally be replaced when they are 6 years
or older. Heat caused by hot climates or frequent high loading conditions
can accelerate the aging process. You should replace the spare tire when
you replace the other road tires due to the aging of the spare tire. The
period in which the tire was manufactured (both week and year) is indi-
cated by a 4-digit number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on P. 567.
WARNING
■Rotate tires periodically
Irregular tire wear is dangerous. To equalize tire wear and extend tire
life, Toyota recommends that tire rotation is carried out at the same
interval as tire inspection.
For scheduled maintenance information, please refer to the “Owner’s
Manual Supplement/Scheduled Maintenance Guide”.
NOTICE
Rotate unidirectional tires and radial tires that have an asymmetrical
tread pattern or studs only from front to rear, not from side to side. Tire
performance will be reduced if rotated from side to side.

Maintenance and Care
Inspect the temporary spare tire at least monthly to make sure it is
properly inflated and stored.
The temporary spare tire is easier to handle because of its construc-
tion which is lighter and smaller than a conventional tire. This tire
should be used only for an emergency and only for a short distance.
Use the temporary spare tire only until the conventional tire is
repaired, which should be as soon as possible.
Refer to Tires on P. 596.
●The temporary spare tire condition gradually deteriorates even if it has
not been used.
●Tires degrade over time, even when they are not being used on the
road. It is recommended that tires generally be replaced when they are
6 years or older. Heat caused by hot climates or frequent high loading
conditions can accelerate the aging process. You should replace the
spare tire when you replace the other road tires due to the aging of the
spare tire. The period in which the tire was manufactured (both week
and year) is indicated by a 4-digit number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on P. 567.
WARNING
■Always use tires that are in good condition
Driving with worn tires is dangerous. Reduced braking, steering, and
traction could result in an accident.
■Replace all four tires at the same time
Replacing just one tire is dangerous. It could cause poor handling and
poor braking resulting in loss of vehicle control. Toyota strongly recom-
mends that you replace all four tires at the same time. If you replace
only two tires, the new tires should be installed on the rear of the vehi-
cle.

Proper tire balancing provides the best riding comfort and helps
reduce tread wear. Out-of-balance tires can cause vibration and
uneven wear, such as cupping and flat spots.
When replacing a wheel, make sure the new one is the same as the orig-
inal factory wheel in diameter, rim width, and offset (inset/outset).
NOTICE
●Do not use your temporary spare tire rim with a snow tire or a conven-
tional tire. Neither will properly fit and could damage both tire and rim.
●The temporary spare tire has a tread life of less than 3,000 miles
(5,000 km). The tread life may be shorter depending on driving condi-
tions.
●The temporary spare tire is for limited use, however, if the tread wear
solid- band indicator appears, replace the tire with the same type of
temporary spare (P. 474).

5-4. Appearance Care
Exterior Care
■Etching Caused by Acid Rain or Industrial Fallout
●Occurrence
Industrial pollutants and vehicle emissions drift into the air and
mix with rain or dew to form acids. These acids can settle on a
vehicle’s finish. As the water evaporates, the acid becomes con-
centrated and can damage the finish.
And the longer the acid remains on the surface, the greater the
chance is for damage.
●Prevention
It is necessary to wash and wax your vehicle to preserve its finish
according to the instructions in this section. These steps should
be taken immediately after you suspect that acid rain has settled
on your vehicle’s finish.
■Damage Caused by Bird Dropping, Insects, or Tree Sap
●Occurrence
Bird droppings contain acids. If these are not removed they can
eat away the clear and color base coat of the vehicle’s paintwork.
When insects stick to the paint surface and decompose, corro-
sive compounds form.
These can erode the clear and color base coat of the vehicle’s
paintwork if they are not removed.
Tree sap will harden and adhere permanently to the paint finish.
If you scratch the sap off while it is hard, some vehicle paint could
come off with it.
The paintwork on your Toyota represents the latest technical
developments in composition and methods of application.
Environmental hazards, however, can harm the paint’s protec-
tive properties, if proper care is not taken.
Here are some examples of possible damage, with tips on how
to prevent them.
YARIS_SEDAN_OM_OM99M18z_(U)
493
5-4. Appearance Care
5
Maintenance and Care
●Prevention
It is necessary to have your Toyota washed and waxed to pre-
serve its finish according to the instructions in this section. This
should be done as soon as possible.
Bird droppings can be removed with a soft sponge and water. If
you are traveling and these are not available, a moistened tissue
may also take care of the problem. The cleaned area should be
waxed according to the instructions in this section.
Insects and tree sap are best removed with a soft sponge and
water or a commercially available chemical cleaner.
Another method is to cover the affected area with dampened
newspaper for one to two hours. After removing the newspaper,
rinse off the loosened debris with water.
■Water Marks
●Occurrence
Rain, fog, dew, and even tap water can contain harmful minerals
such as salt and lime. If moisture containing these minerals set-
tles on the vehicle and evaporates, the minerals will concentrate
and harden to form white rings. The rings can damage your vehi-
cle’s finish.
●Prevention
It is necessary to wash and wax your vehicle to preserve its finish
according to the instructions in this section. These steps should
be taken immediately after you find water marks on your vehi-
cle’s finish.
■Paint Chipping
●Occurrence
Paint chipping occurs when gravel thrown in the air by another
vehicle’s tires hits your vehicle.
●How to avoid paint chipping
Keeping a safe distance between you and the vehicle ahead
reduces the chances of having your paint chipped by flying
gravel.
Follow all label and container directions when using a chemical
cleaner or polish. Read all warnings and cautions.
494 5-4. Appearance Care
YARIS_SEDAN_OM_OM99M18z_(U)
●The paint chipping zone varies with the speed of the vehicle. For example,
when traveling at 56 mph (90 km/h), the paint chipping zone is 164 ft.
(50 m).
●In low temperatures a vehicle’s finish hardens. This increases the chance of
paint chipping.
●Chipped paint can lead to rust forming on your Toyota. Before this happens,
repair the damage by using Toyota touch-up paint according to the instruc-
tions in this section. Failure to repair the affected area could lead to serious
rusting and expensive repairs.
■Washing
To help protect the finish from rust and deterioration, wash your
Toyota thoroughly and frequently, at least once a month, with luke-
warm or cold water.
If the vehicle is washed improperly, the paint surface could be
scratched. Here are some examples of how scratching could occur.
Scratches occur on the paint surface when
●The vehicle is washed without first rinsing off dirt and other foreign
matter.
●The vehicle is washed with a rough, dry, or dirty cloth.
●The vehicle is washed at a car wash that uses brushes that are
dirty or too stiff.
●Cleansers or wax containing abrasives are used.
To minimize scratches on the vehicle’s paint finish
●Rinse off any dirt or other foreign matter using lukewarm or cold
water before washing.
●Use plenty of lukewarm or cold water and a soft cloth when wash-
ing the vehicle. Do not use a nylon cloth.
●Rub gently when washing or drying the vehicle.
●Take your vehicle only to a car wash that keeps its brushes well
maintained.
Maintaining the Finish

Maintenance and Care
●Do not use abrasive cleansers or wax that contain abrasives.
Pay special attention to removing salt, dirt, mud, and other foreign
material from the underside of the fenders, and make sure the drain
holes in the lower edges of the doors and rocker panels are clean.
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings, industrial fallout, and similar
deposits can damage the finish if not removed immediately. When
prompt washing with plain water is ineffective, use a mild soap made
for use on vehicles.
Thoroughly rinse off all soap with lukewarm or cold water. Do not
allow soap to dry on the finish.
After washing the vehicle, dry it with a clean chamois to prevent water
spots from forming.
●When using an automatic car wash
• Retract the door mirrors.
• The automatic car wash brushes could reduce the paint lustre or
hasten paint deterioration.
●When using a high water pressure car wash
High water temperature and high water pressure car washers are
available depending on the type of car wash machine. If the car
washer nozzle is put too close to the vehicle, the force of the spray
could damage or deform the molding, affect the sealability of parts,
and allow water to penetrate the interior. Keep a sufficient space
(12 in. (300 mm) or more) between the nozzle and the vehicle. In
addition, do not spend too much time spraying the same area of the
vehicle, and be very careful when spraying between gaps in doors
and around windows.
■Waxing
Your vehicle needs to be waxed when water no longer beads on the
finish. Always wash and dry the vehicle before waxing it. In addition
to the vehicle body, wax the metal trim to maintain its luster.
Use wax which contains no abrasives. Waxes containing abra-
sive will remove paint and could damage bright metal parts.
Use a good grade of natural wax for metallic, mica, and solid col-
ors.
When waxing, coat evenly with the sponge supplied or a soft
cloth.
Wipe off the wax with a soft cloth.

■Maintaining the Finish
●Toyota is not responsible for scratches caused by automatic car washes or
improper washing.
●Scratches are more noticeable on vehicles with darker paint finishes.
●A spot remover to remove oil, tar, and similar materials will usually also take
off the wax. Rewax these areas even if the rest of the vehicle does not need
it.
WARNING
■Dry off brakes that have become wet by driving slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying the brakes several times until
the brake performance returns to normal
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous. Increased stopping distance or the
vehicle pulling to one side when braking could result in a serious accident.
Light braking will indicate whether the brakes have been affected.
NOTICE
●Do not spray water in the engine compartment. Otherwise, it could result in
engine-starting problems or damage to electrical parts.
●When washing and waxing the vehicle, be careful not to apply excessive
force to any single area of the vehicle roof or the antenna. Otherwise, you
could dent the vehicle or damage the antenna.
●Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleaners, or strong detergents containing
highly alkaline or caustic agents on chrome- plated or anodized aluminum
parts. This may damage the protective coating; also, cleaners and deter-
gents may discolor or deteriorate the paint.

Maintenance and Care
Deep scratches or chips on the finish should be repaired promptly.
Exposed metal quickly rusts and can lead to major repairs.
●Use tar remover to remove road tar and insects. Never do this with
a knife or similar tool.
●To prevent corrosion on bright- metal surfaces, apply wax or
chrome preservative and rub it to a high luster.
●During cold weather or in coastal areas, cover bright-metal parts
with a coating of wax or preservative heavier than usual. It would
also help to coat them with noncorrosive petroleum jelly or some
other protective compound.
Repairing Damage to the Finish
NOTICE
If your Toyota is damaged and needs metal parts repaired or replaced,
make sure the body shop applies anti- corrosion materials to all parts, both
repaired and new. This will prevent them from rusting.
Bright-Metal Maintenance
NOTICE
Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleaners, or strong detergents containing
highly alkaline or caustic agents on chrome-plated or anodized aluminum
parts. This may result in damage to the protective coating and cause discol-
oration or paint deterioration.

YARIS_SEDAN_OM_OM99M18z_(U)
Road chemicals and salt used for ice and snow removal and solvents
used for dust control may collect on the underbody. If not removed,
they will speed up rusting and deterioration of such underbody parts
as fuel lines, frame, floor pan, and exhaust system, even though these
parts may be coated with anti-corrosive material.
Thoroughly flush the underbody and wheel housings with lukewarm or
cold water at the end of each winter. Try also to do this every month.
Pay special attention to these areas because they easily hide mud
and dirt. It will do more harm than good to wet down the road grime
without removing it.
The lower edges of doors, rocker panels, and frame members have
drain holes that should not be clogged. Water trapped there will cause
rusting.
A protective coating is provided over the aluminum wheels. Special
care is needed to protect this coating.
●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 corro-
sion.
●Avoid washing your vehicle in an automatic car wash that uses high- speed
or hard brushes.
●(16-inch wheel vehicle)
If your aluminum wheels lose luster, apply wax which contains no polishing
powder.

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. Otherwise, these chemical agents can
discolor or damage the surfaces resulting in a significant loss in
functionality. If plastic parts become inadvertently exposed to any of
these chemical agents, flush with water immediately.
●If plastic parts such as the bumpers become inadvertently exposed
to chemical agents or fluids such as gasoline, oil, engine coolant, or
battery fluid, it could cause discoloration, staining, 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 generated could result in deformation of
plastic parts or paint damage.
NOTICE
Do not use any detergent other than mild detergent. Before using any deter-
gent, verify the ingredients.
Otherwise, the product could discolor or stain the aluminum wheels.

■Vinyl
Remove dust and loose dirt from vinyl with a whisk broom or vac-
uum cleaner. Clean vinyl with a leather-and-vinyl cleaner.
■Leather (if equipped)
Remove dust and sand first using a vacuum cleaner or other
means, then wipe dirt off using a soft cloth with a leather cleaner or
a soft cloth soaked in mild soap. Wipe off the remaining cleaner or
soap using a cloth soaked in clean water and wrung out well.
Remove moisture with a dry, soft cloth and allow the leather to fur-
ther dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area. If the leather gets wet
such as from rain, also remove moisture and dry it as soon as pos-
sible.
■Fabric
Remove dust and loose dirt from fabric with a whisk broom or vac-
uum cleaner. Clean it with a mild soap solution good for upholstery
and carpets. Remove fresh spots immediately with a fabric spot
cleaner.
To keep the fabric looking clean and fresh, take care of it. Other-
wise its color will be affected, it can be stained easily, and its fire-
resistance may be reduced.
■Panel
When the interior panels need to be cleaned, use soft material such
as a soft cloth soaked in clean water and wrung out well and lightly
wipe off dirt from the surface. If a panel requires further cleaning,
use the following procedure.
Wipe dirt off using a soft cloth soaked in mild detergent (about
5% solution).
Wipe off any remaining detergent using a cloth soaked in clean
water and wrung out well.

YARIS_SEDAN_OM_OM99M18z_(U)
■Cleaning the Upholstery and Interior Trim
●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.
●Sand and dust on the seat surface may damage the overcoat of the genuine
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 discoloration
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.
●Do not wipe leather parts using alcohol, chlorine bleach, or organic solvents
such as thinner, benzene, or gasoline. Otherwise, it may cause discoloration
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.
NOTICE
Use only recommended cleaners and procedures. Others may affect
appearance and fire-resistance.

If Trouble Arises
If your vehicle has Toyota optional antitheft wheel lug nuts, one on
each wheel will lock the tires and you must use a special key to unlock
them. This key will attach to the lug wrench. Register them with the
lock manufacturer by filling out the card provided in the glove com-
partment and mailing it in the accompanying envelope. If you lose this
key, consult your Toyota dealer or use the lock manufacturer’s order
form, which is with the registration card.
Accessory wheel locks cannot be used on steel wheels. This includes
situations when the spare tire is installed. If the spare tire is installed,
one of the original lug nuts (which should still be in the vehicle) must
be installed in place of the wheel lock.

If Trouble Arises
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 tighten
the lug nuts beyond the recommended tightening torque
Applying oil or grease to lug nuts and bolts is dangerous. The lug nuts
could loosen while driving and cause the tire to come off, resulting in an
accident. In addition, lug nuts and bolts could be damaged if tightened
more than necessary.
■Always securely and correctly tighten the lug nuts
Improperly or loosely tightened lug nuts are dangerous. The wheel
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 cause
the wheel to slip off and cause an accident.
■Do not drive with any tires that have incorrect air pressure
Driving on tires with incorrect air pressure is dangerous. Tires with
incorrect pressure could affect handling and result in an accident. When
you check the regular tires’ air pressure, check the spare tire, too.

WARNING
■ Follow These Precautions Carefully
To ensure safe and correct handling of the battery, read the following pre-
cautions carefully before using the battery or inspecting it.
■ Do not allow the positive (+) terminal to contact any other metal
object that could cause sparks
Flames and sparks near open battery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen gas,
produced during normal battery operation, could ignite and cause the bat-
tery to explode. An exploding battery can cause serious burns and injuries.
When working near a battery, do not allow metal tools to contact the positive
(+) or negative (-) terminal of the battery.
■ Keep all flames, including cigarettes, and sparks away from
open battery cells
Flames and sparks near open battery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen gas,
produced during normal battery operation, could ignite and cause the bat-
tery to explode. An exploding battery can cause serious burns and injuries.
■Do not jump-start a frozen battery or one with a low fluid level
Jump-starting a frozen battery or one with a low fluid level is dangerous. It
may rupture or explode, causing serious injury.
■Connect the negative cable to a good ground point away from the bat-
tery
Connecting the end of the second jumper cable to the negative (-) terminal
of the discharged battery is dangerous.
A spark could cause the gas around the battery to explode and injure some-
one.
■Route the jumper cables away from parts that will be moving
Connecting a jumper cable near or to moving parts (cooling fans, belts) is
dangerous. The cable could get caught when the engine starts and cause
serious injury.
NOTICE
Use only a 12 V booster system. You can damage a 12 V starter, ignition sys-
tem, and other electrical parts beyond repair with a 24 V power supply (two 12
V batteries in series or a 24 V motor generator set).

Customer Information and Reporting Safety Defects
Event Data Recorder (U.S.A. and Canada)
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main
purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like sit-
uations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data
that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and
safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
●How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
●Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/
fastened;
●How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal; and,
●How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circum-
stances in which crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial
crash or near crash-like situation occurs; no data are recorded by the
EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g.,
name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other
parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with
the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a
crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and
access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the
special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the
vehicle or the EDR.
Toyota will not disclose any of the data recorded in an EDR to a third
party unless:
●A written agreement from the vehicle owner or the lessee is
obtained
●Officially requested by the police or other law enforcement authori-
ties
●Used as a defense for Toyota in a lawsuit, claim, or arbitration
●Ordered by a judge or court

7-6. Uniform Tire Quality Grading System (UTQGS)
Uniform Tire Quality Grading System
(UTQGS)
This information relates to the tire grading system developed by the
U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for grading tires
by tread wear, traction, and temperature performance.
The tread wear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate
of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified gov-
ernment test course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one-and-a-half times as
well on the government course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions
of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm
because of variations in driving habits, service practices and differ-
ences in road characteristics and climate.
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C.
These grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as
measured under controlled conditions on specified government test
surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor
traction performance.
Tread Wear
Traction-AA, A, B, C
WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight
ahead) traction tests and does not include acceleration cornering (turn-
ing), hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.

Customer Information and Reporting Safety Defects
The temperature grades A (the highest), B, and C, represent the tire’s
resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor labora-
tory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperatures can lead
to sudden tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger
vehicle tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance
on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
These grades will be added to the sidewalls of passenger vehicle tires
over the next several years according to a schedule established by
the NHTSA and the tire manufacturers.
The grade of tires available as standard or optional equipment on Toy-
ota vehicles may vary with respect to grade.
ALL PASSENGER VEHICLE TIRES MUST CONFORM TO THESE
GRADES AND TO ALL OTHER FEDERAL TIRE-SAFETY REQUIRE-
MENTS.

WARNING
■Keep your vehicle’s tires properly inflated and not overloaded
Driving with improperly inflated or overloaded tires is dangerous. Exces-
sive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in
combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure. The tem-
perature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly
inflated and not overloaded.

Location of the Tire Label (Placard)
You will find the tire label containing tire inflation pressure by tire size
and other important information on the driver’s side B-pillar or on the
edge of the driver’s door frame.
SAMPLE
On the tire label you will find the recommended tire inflation pressure
in both kPa and psi for the tires installed as original equipment on the
vehicle. It is very important that the inflation pressure of the tires on
your vehicle is maintained at the recommended pressure. You should
check the tire pressure regularly to insure that the proper inflation
pressure is maintained.
Refer to Tires on P. 596.
Tire pressures listed on the vehicle placard or tire information label indi-
cate the recommended cold tire inflation pressure, measured when the
tires are cold, after the vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours. As
you drive, the temperature in the tire warms up, increasing the tire pres-
sure.
Recommended Tire Inflation Pressure
574
YARIS_SEDAN_OM_OM99M18z_(U)
7-7. Tire Information (U.S.A.)
When you check the air pressure, make sure the tires are cold -
meaning they are not hot from driving even a mile.
Remove the cap from the valve on one tire.
Firmly press a tire gauge onto the valve.
Add air to achieve recommended air pressure.
If you overfill the tire, release air by pushing on the metal stem in
the center of the valve. Then recheck the pressure with your tire
gauge.
Replace the valve cap.
Repeat with each tire, including the spare.
Visually inspect the tires to make sure there are no nails or other
objects embedded that could poke a hole in the tire and cause an
air leak.
Check the sidewalls to make sure there are no gouges, cuts,
bulges, cracks or other irregularities.
Some spare tires require higher inflation pressure.
WARNING
■Always check the tire inflation pressures on a regular basis accord-
ing to the recommended tire inflation pressure on the tire label and
in conjunction with the information in this owner’s manual
Driving your vehicle with under-inflated tires is dangerous.
Under-inflation is the most common cause of failures in any kind of tire
and may result in severe cracking, tread separation or “blowout”, with
unexpected loss of vehicle control and increased risk of injury. Under-
inflation increases sidewall flexing and rolling resistance, resulting in
heat buildup and internal damage to the tire. It results in unnecessary
tire stress, irregular wear, loss of control and accidents. A tire can lose
up to half of its air pressure and not appear to be flat!
It is impossible to determine whether or not tires are properly inflated
just by looking at them.

Tire Maintenance
Improper or inadequate vehicle maintenance can cause tires to wear
abnormally. Here are some important maintenance points:
Inspect all tire pressure monthly (including the spare) when the tires
are cold. Maintain recommended pressures for the best ride, top han-
dling, and minimum tire wear. Use the pressures specified on the
vehicle tire information placard or tire label for optimum service.
To equalize tire wear and extend
tire life, Toyota recommends that
tire rotation is carried out at the
same interval as tire inspection.
Inspect the tires for uneven wear and damage. Abnormal wear is usu-
ally caused by one or a combination of the following:
●Incorrect tire pressure
●Improper wheel alignment
●Out-of-balance wheel
●Severe braking
After rotation, inflate all tire pressures to specification (P. 596) and
inspect the lug nuts for tightness.

across the tread. Replace the tire
when this happens.
You should replace the tire before
the band crosses the entire tread.
Tires degrade over time, even when they are not being used on the road.
It is recommended that tires generally be replaced when they are 6 years
or older. Heat caused by hot climates or frequent high loading conditions
can accelerate the aging process. You should replace the spare tire when
you replace the other road tires due to the aging of the spare tire. The
period in which the tire was manufactured (both week and year) is indi-
cated by a 4-digit number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on P. 567.
The way you drive has a great deal to do with your tire mileage and
safety. So cultivate good driving habits for your own benefit.
●Observe posted speed limits and drive at speeds that are safe for
the existing weather conditions
●Avoid fast starts, stops and turns
●Avoid potholes and objects on the road
●Do not run over curbs or hit the tire against the curb when parking

Vehicle Loading
This section will guide you in the proper loading of your vehicle, to
keep your loaded vehicle weight within its design rating capability.
Properly loading your vehicle will provide maximum return of vehicle
design performance. Before loading your vehicle, familiarize yourself
with the following terms for determining your vehicle’s weight ratings,
from the vehicle’s Safety Certification Label and Tire and Load Infor-
mation Label:
Base Curb Weight is the weight of the vehicle including a full tank of
fuel and all standard equipment. It does not include passengers,
cargo, or optional equipment.
Vehicle Curb Weight is the weight of your new vehicle when you
picked it up from your dealer plus any aftermarket equipment.
Payload is the combination weight of cargo and passengers that the
vehicle is designed to carry. The maximum payload for your vehicle
can be found on the Tire and Load Information label on the driver’s
door frame or door pillar. Look for “THE COMBINATION WEIGHT OF
OCCUPANTS AND CARGO SHOULD NEVER EXCEED XXX kg or
XXX lb.” for your maximum payload. The payload listed on the tire
label is the maximum payload for the vehicle as built by the assembly
plant. If any aftermarket or dealer installed equipment has been
installed on the vehicle, the weight of the equipment must be sub-
tracted from the payload listed on the tire label in order to be accurate.

Examples: Based on a single occupant weight of 150 lb. (68 kg), and
a value of 849 lb. (385 kg) for the “combination weight of occupants
and cargo should never exceed”:
The cargo weight limit with one occupant is 849 lb. (385 kg) - 150 lb.
(68 kg) = 699 lb. (317 kg)
The cargo weight limit with two occupants is 849 lb. (385 kg) - (150 x
2) lb. ((68 x 2) kg) = 549 lb. (249 kg)
If the weight of the occupant increases, the cargo weight limit
decreases by that much.
GAW (Gross Axle Weight) is the total weight placed on each axle
(front and rear) - including vehicle curb weight and all payload.
GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) is the maximum allowable weight
that can be carried by a single axle (front or rear). These numbers are
shown on the Safety Compliance Certification Label located on the
driver’s door frame or door pillar. The total load on each axle must
never exceed its GAWR.
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) is the Vehicle Curb Weight + cargo +

GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) is the maximum allowable
weight of the fully loaded vehicle (including all options, equipment,
passengers and cargo). The GVWR is shown on the Safety Compli-
ance Certification Label located on the driver’s door frame or door pil-
lar. The GVW must never exceed the GVWR.

WARNING
■Do not tow a trailer with this vehicle
Towing a trailer with this vehicle is dangerous because it has not been
designed to tow a trailer and doing so will affect the drive system which
could result in vehicle damage.
■Overloaded Vehicle
Overloading a vehicle is dangerous. The results of overloading can
have serious consequences in terms of passenger safety. Too much
weight on a vehicle’s suspension system can cause spring or shock
absorber failure, brake failure, handling or steering problems, irregular
tire wear, tire failure or other damage.
Overloading makes a vehicle harder to drive and control. It also
increases the distance required for stopping. In cases of serious over-
loading, brakes can fail completely, particularly on steep grades. The
load a tire will carry safely is a combination of the size of the tire, its load
range, and corresponding inflation pressure.
Never overload the vehicle and always observe the vehicle’s weight rat-
ings from the vehicle’s Safety Certification and Tire and Load Informa-
tion labels.
■Never Exceed Axle Weight Rating Limits
Exceeding the Safety Certification Label axle weight rating limits is dan-
gerous and could result in death or serious injury as a result of substan-
dard vehicle handling, performance, engine, transmission and/or
structural damage, serious damage to the vehicle, or loss of control.
Always keep the vehicle within the axle weight rating limits.
■Never Exceed GVWR or GAWR Specifications
Exceeding the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the certification label is
dangerous. Exceeding any vehicle rating limitation could result in a seri-
ous accident, injury, or damage to the vehicle.
Do not use replacement tires with lower load carrying capacities than
the originals because they may lower the vehicle’s GVWR and GAWR
limitations. Replacement tires with a higher limit than the originals do
not increase the GVWR and GAWR limitations. Never exceed the
GVWR or the GAWR specified on the certification label.

Steps for Determining the Correct Load
Limit
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit-
(1) Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’s
placard.
(2) Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that
will be riding in your vehicle.
(3) Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from
XXX kg or XXX lbs.
(4) The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and lug-
gage load capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1400
lbs. and there will be five 150 lb passengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
(5) Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded
on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available
cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
(6) If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be
transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how
this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your
vehicle.
