3-4. Switches and Controls

●

Switching the auto-wiper lever from the OFF to the AUTO position while
driving activates the windshield wipers once, after which they operate
according to the rainfall amount.

●

The auto-wiper control may not operate when the rain sensor temperature is
about -10 °C (14 °F) or lower, or about 85 °C (185 °F) or higher.

●

If the windshield is coated with water repellent, the rain sensor may not be
able to sense the amount of rainfall correctly and the auto-wiper control may
not operate properly.

●

If dirt or foreign matter (such as ice or matter containing salt water) adheres
to the windshield above the rain sensor, or if the windshield is iced, it could
cause the wipers to move automatically. However, if the wipers cannot
remove this ice, dirt or foreign matter, the auto-wiper control will stop opera-
tion. In this case, set the wiper lever to the low speed position or high speed
position for manual operation, or remove the ice, dirt or foreign matter by
hand to restore the auto-wiper operation.

●

If the auto-wiper lever is left in the AUTO position, the wipers could operate
automatically from the effect of strong light sources, electromagnetic waves,
or infrared light because the rain sensor uses an optical sensor. It is recom-
mended that the auto-wiper lever be switched to the OFF position other than
when driving the vehicle under rainy conditions.

●

The auto-wiper control functions can be turned off. Refer to Customizable
Features on P. 555

NOTICE

●

When the wiper lever is in the AUTO position and the ignition is switched
ON, the wipers may move automatically in the following cases:
• If the windshield above the rain sensor is touched or wiped with a cloth.
• If the windshield is struck with a hand or other object from either outside

or inside the vehicle.

Keep hands and scrapers clear of the windshield when the wiper lever is
in the AUTO position and the ignition is switched ON as fingers could be
pinched or the wipers and wiper blades damaged when the wipers acti-
vate automatically. If you are going to clean the windshield, be sure the
wipers are turned off completely (when it is most likely that the engine is
left running) this is particularly important when clearing ice and snow.

●

Do not shade the rain sensor by adher-
ing a sticker or a label on the wind-
shield. Otherwise the rain sensor will
not operate correctly.

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.

■

Setting the parking brake

Depress the brake pedal and
then firmly pull the parking
brake lever fully upwards with
sufficient force to hold the vehi-
cle in a stationary position.

■

Releasing the parking brake

Depress the brake pedal and
pull the parking brake lever
upwards,

then

press

the

release button. While holding
the button, lower the parking
brake lever all the way down to
the released position.

NOTICE

Do not drive with your foot held on the clutch pedal or brake pedal, or hold
the clutch pedal depressed halfway unnecessarily. Doing so could result in
the following:

●

The clutch and brake parts will wear out more quickly.

●

The brakes can overheat and adversely affect brake performance.

3-5. Brake

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.

Hill Launch Assist (HLA)



For vehicles with a manual transaxle, Hill Launch Assist (HLA) oper-
ates 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 Launch Assist (HLA)
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 for-
ward gear.

●

Hill Launch Assist (HLA) 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 Launch Assist (HLA) does not operate if the parking brake is applied, the
vehicle has not stopped completely, or the clutch pedal is released.

●

While Hill Launch Assist (HLA) is operating, the brake pedal may feel stiff
and vibrate, however, this does not indicate a malfunction.

●

Hill Launch Assist (HLA) does not operate while the TCS/DSC indicator light
is illuminated.
Refer to Contact Your Toyota Dealer and Have Vehicle Inspected on P. 493.

●

Hill Launch Assist (HLA) does not turn off even if the DSC OFF switch is
pressed to turn off the TCS/DSC.



: If equipped

Hill Launch Assist (HLA) is a function which assists the driver in
accelerating 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 braking force is maintained automatically after the brake
pedal is released on a steep grade.

YARIS_YARIS HATCHBACK_OM_OM99V59z_(U)

3-5. Brake

WARNING

■

Do not rely completely on Hill Launch Assist (HLA)

Hill Launch Assist (HLA) is an auxiliary device for accelerating from a stop
on a slope. The system only operates for about 2 seconds and therefore,
relying 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.

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 Contact Your Toyota Dealer and Have Vehicle Inspected on
P. 493.

●

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.

Traction Control System (TCS)

The warning light turns on when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Contact Your Toyota Dealer and Have Vehicle Inspected on
P. 493.

To turn off the TCS, press the DSC OFF switch (



P. 219).

The Traction Control System (TCS) enhances traction and safety
by controlling engine torque and braking. When the TCS 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 System (TCS) as a substitute for
safe driving

The Traction Control System (TCS) 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 System (TCS) alone cannot provide ade-
quate traction and you could still have an accident.

Refer to Contact Your Toyota Dealer and Have Vehicle Inspected on
P. 493.

The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) automatically controls
braking and engine torque in conjunction with systems such as
ABS and TCS to help control side slip when driving on slippery
surfaces, or during sudden or evasive maneuvering, enhancing
vehicle safety.
Refer to ABS (



P. 215) and TCS (

Low Speed Pre-Collision System

The 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 sensor detects a vehicle ahead and determines that a colli-
sion with a vehicle ahead is unavoidable. It may also be possible
to avoid a collision if the relative speed between your vehicle
and a vehicle ahead is less than about 12 mph (20 km/h).
In addition, when the driver depresses the brake pedal while the
system is in the operation range at about 2 to 18 mph (4 to
30 km/h), the brakes are applied firmly and quickly to assist.

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. 233.

• 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.

WARNING

■

Do not modify the suspension

If the vehicle height or inclination is changed, the system will not be able to
correctly detect vehicles ahead. This will result in the Low Speed Pre-Colli-
sion System not operating normally or mistakenly operating, which could
cause a serious accident.

■

Turn off the Low Speed Pre-Collision System when the vehicle is run-
ning on a chassis roller or being towed

Turn off the Low Speed Pre-Collision System to prevent mistaken operation
when the vehicle is running on a chassis roller or being towed.
Refer to Stopping The Low Speed Pre-Collision System Operation on P. 233.

NOTICE

●

When driving off-road in areas where there is grass or forage, it is recom-
mended that the Low Speed Pre-Collision System be turned off.

●

Always use tires for all wheels that are of the specified size, and the same
manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern. In addition, do not use tires with
significantly different wear patterns on the same vehicle as the Low Speed
Pre-Collision System may not operate normally.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System



The system monitors the tire pres-
sures indirectly using the data
sent from the ABS wheel speed
sensors.

To allow the system to operate correctly, the system needs to be ini-
tialized with the specified tire pressure (value on the tire pressure
label). Follow the procedure and perform the initialization.
Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System Initialization on P. 244.
The warning light flashes when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Warning Lights on P. 173.



: If equipped

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the air
pressure of all four tires. If the air pressure of one or more tires
is too low, the system warns the driver by indicating the tire
pressure monitoring system warning light in the combination
meter and operating a beep sound.

3-12. Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Because this system detects slight changes in tire conditions, the timing

of the warning may be faster or slower in the following cases:

●

The size, manufacturer, or the type of tires is different from the specifica-

tion.

●

The size, manufacturer, or the type of a tire is different from the others,

or the level of tire wear is excessively different between them.

●

A run-flat tire, studless tire, snow tire, or tire chains are used.

●

An emergency tire is used (The tire pressure monitoring system warning

light may flash and then continue illuminating).

●

A tire is repaired using the emergency flat tire repair kit.

●

The tire pressure is excessively higher than the specified pressure, or

the tire pressure is suddenly lowered for some reason such as a tire

burst during driving.

●

The vehicle speed is lower than about 9.3 mph (15 km/h) (including

when the vehicle is stopped), or the drive period is shorter than 5 min-

utes.

●

The vehicle is driven on an extremely rough road or a slippery, icy road.

●

Hard steering and rapid acceleration/deceleration are repeated such as

during aggressive driving on a winding road.

●

Load on the vehicle is applied to a tire such as by loading heavy luggage

to one side of the vehicle.

●

System initialization has not been implemented with the specified tire

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.

In the following cases, system initialization must be performed so that
the system operates normally.

• A tire pressure is adjusted.
• Tire rotation is performed.
• A tire or wheel is replaced.
• The battery is replaced or completely drained.
• The tire pressure monitoring system warning light is illuminated.

■

Initialization method

Park the car in a safe place and firmly apply the parking brake.
Let the tires cool, then adjust the tire pressure of all four (4) tires
to the specified pressure indicated on the tire pressure label
located on the door jamb of the driver’s door (door open).
Refer to Tires on P. 553.
Switch the ignition ON.
While the vehicle is parked,
press and hold the tire pres-
sure monitoring system set
switch and verify that the tire

warning light in the combina-
tion meter flashes twice and
a beep sound is heard once.

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

4-1. Climate Control System

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.
For details, consult your Toyota
dealer.

Vent Operation

■

Air vent open/close

The air vents can be fully opened and closed by operating the knob.

■

Directing airflow

To adjust the direction of airflow, move the adjustment knob.

When using the air conditioner under humid ambient temperature conditions,
the system may blow fog from the vents. This is not a sign of trouble but a
result of humid air being suddenly cooled.
