2011 TOYOTA AYGO brakes

STARTING AND DRIVING217
DMaintain a moderate speed on high-
ways.The faster you drive, the greater
the fuel consumption. By reducing your
speed, you will cut down on fuel con-
sumption.
DKeep the front wheels in proper
alignment.Avoid hitting the curb and
slow down on rough roads. Improper
alignment not only causes faster tire
wear but also puts an extra load on
the engine, which, in turn, wastes fuel.
DKeep the bottom of your vehicle free
from mud, etc.This not only lessens
weight but also helps prevent corro-
sion.
DKeep your vehicle tuned−up and in
top shape.A dirty air cleaner, improp-
er valve clearance, dirty plugs, dirty oil
and grease, brakes not adjusted, etc.
all lower engine performance and con-
tribute to poor fuel economy. For longer
life of all parts and lower operating
costs, keep all maintenance work on
schedule, and if you often drive under
severe conditions, see that your vehicle
receives more frequent maintenance.
CAUTION
Never turn off the engine to coast
down hills. Your power steering and
brake booster will not function with-
out the engine running. Also, the
emission control system operates
properly only when the engine is run-
ning.

224IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
If the cause of the battery discharging is
not apparent (for example lights left on)
you should have it checked at any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped
professional.
If the first start attempt is not success-
ful...
Check that the clamp on the jumper
cables are tight. Recharge the discharged
battery with the jumper cables connected
for several minutes and restart your en-
gine in the normal way.
If another attempt is not successful, the
battery may be depleted. Have it checked
at any authorized Toyota dealer or repair-
er, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional.If your engine stalls while driving...
1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping
a straight line. Move cautiously off the
road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Try starting the engine again.
If the engine will not start, see “If your
vehicle will not start” on page 220 in this
Section.
CAUTION
If the engine is not running, the pow-
er assist for the brakes will not work
so braking will be much harder than
usual.

—Emergency towing
MS41062
If towing is necessary, we recommend
you to have it done by any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or qualified
professional, such as a commercial tow
truck service.
If a towing service is not available in
an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed by a cable or chain
secured to the right emergency towing
eyelet on the front of the vehicle. Use
extreme caution when towing vehicles.
To install the front towing eyelet, see
“—Installing front towing eyelet” on page
240 in this Section.
NOTICE
Only use the specified towing eyelets;
otherwise your vehicle may be dam-
aged.
A driver must be in the vehicle to steer
it and operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done only
on hard−surfaced roads for short dis-
tances and at low speeds. Also, the
wheels, axles, drive train, steering and
brakes must all be in good condition.

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY239
CAUTION
DUse extreme caution when towing a
vehicle. Avoid sudden starts or er-
ratic driving maneuvers which
would place excessive stress on the
emergency towing eyelet and towing
cable or chain. The eyelet and tow-
ing cable or chain may break and
cause serious injury or damage.
DIn case of installing the fronteyelet
on the vehicle, be sure to tighten
the front eyelet securely. If the eye-
letisloose,itmaycomeoffwhen
towing and result in death or seri-
ous injury to the passenger in the
front vehicle or damage to that ve-
hicle.
NOTICE
Use only a cable or chain specifically
intended for use in towing vehicles.
Securely fasten the cable or chain to
the towing eyelet provided.
Before towing, release the parking brake
and put the transmission in “N” (multi−
mode manual transmission) or neutral
(manual transmission). The engine switch
must be in “ACC” (engine off) or “ON”
(engine running).
Multi−mode manual transmission only:
After shifting the shift lever to the “N”
position, always make sure that the gear
is actually disengaged and is in neutral by
pushing the vehicle by hand or other
means. In case the gear can not be put
in neutral, turn the engine switch from the
“OFF” to “ON” position, and operate the
shift lever once from “N” to “E” or “R”,
then back to “N” again. Then turn the
engine switch from the “ON” to “OFF”
position. These procedures may help put
the gear in neutral. If the gear still can
not be put in neutral, you can not tow
with cables or chains.
CAUTION
If the engine is not running, the pow-
er assist for the brakes and steering
will not work so steering and braking
will be much harder than usual.

244IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
Only in an emergency, such as if it
becomes impossible to stop the vehicle
in the normal way, stop the vehicle us-
ing the following procedure:
1. Steadily step on the brake pedal with
both feet and firmly depress it. Do not
pump the brake pedal repeatedly as
this will increase the effort required to
slow the vehicle.
2. Shift the shift lever to N.
If the shift lever is shifted to N:
3. After slowing down, stop the vehicle in
a safe place by the road.
4. Stop the engine.
If the shift lever cannot be shifted to
N:
3. Keep depressing the brake pedal with
both feet to reduce vehicle speed as
much as possible.
X40294
4. Stop the engine by turning the engine
switch to the ACC position.
5. Stop the vehicle in a safe place by the
road.
CAUTION
If the engine has to be turned off
while driving:
DPower assist for the brakes and
steering wheel will be lost, making
the brake pedal harder to depress
and the steering wheel heavier to
turn. Decelerate as much as pos-
sible before turning off the engine.
DNever attempt to remove the key, as
doing so will lock the steering
wheel.
