Raindrop sensor (vehicles with a rain-sensing windshield wiper)
Washer/wiper dual opera-
tion
The wiper will automatically
operate a couple of times after
the washer squirts.
(After operating several times,
the wiper operate one more
time after a short delay to pre-
vent dripping.)

YARIS_F (including HV)_WE_52C79EIf the Stop & Start cancel switch is pressed while the vehicle is
stopped
When the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system, press-
ing the Stop & Start cancel switch will restart the engine.
From the next time the vehicle is stopped (after Stop & Start sys-
tem has been turned off), the engine will not be stopped.
With the Stop & Start system disabled, pressing the Stop & Start
cancel switch will re-enable the system but not stop the engine.
From the next time the vehicle is stopped (after Stop & Start sys-
tem has been turned on), the engine will be stopped.
Operating conditions
The Stop & Start system is operational when all of the following condi-
tions are met:
• The engine is adequately warmed up.
• The battery is sufficiently charged.
• The driver’s door is closed.
• Vehicles with a Multidrive: The driver’s seat belt is fastened.
• The hood is closed.
• The accelerator pedal is not being depressed.
• The shift lever is not in R.
In the following circumstances the engine may not be stopped by the
Stop & Start system. This is not a malfunction of the Stop & Start system.
• Engine coolant temperature or transmission fluid temperature is too
low or too high.
• The air conditioning system is being used when the vehicle interior
temperature is extremely high such as after the vehicle was parked
under the hot sun.
• Vehicles with an automatic air conditioning system only: The wind-
shield defogger is being used.
• The battery is not sufficiently charged, or is undergoing a periodic
recharge.
• Due to traffic or other circumstances the vehicle is stopped repeatedly,
resulting in the amount of time the engine is stopped by the Stop &
Start system to become excessively high.

The Stop & Start system protection feature
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system:
When an excessively loud sound is being projected by the audio system, the
audio system may be automatically cut off in order to maintain power for the
Stop & Start system function.
If this occurs, turning the engine switch to the “LOCK” position then to the
“ACC” or “ON” position re-enables the audio system.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system:
When an excessively loud sound is being projected by the audio system, the
audio system may be automatically cut off in order to maintain power for the
Stop & Start system function.
If this occurs, turning the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off then to ACCES-
SORY mode or IGNITION ON mode re-enables the audio system.
Steering wheel operation
When the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system, the steering wheel
may become heavier than when driving.
Hood
If the hood is opened while the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system,
the engine cannot be restarted by the Stop & Start system or by the auto-
matic engine start function. Restart the engine with the engine switch opera-
tion. (P. 224, 228)
Vehicles with a Multidrive: If the hood is opened while the engine is stopped
by the Stop & Start system and the shift lever is in N or P, the engine will
restart.
Hill-start assist control (vehicles with a Multidrive)
On a steep uphill grade, the vehicle may roll backward after hill-start
assist control is released. In this situation, apply the parking brake and
operate the brake pedal when putting the vehicle in motion.

When the engine is stopped due to Stop & Start system operation, the
force required to depress the brake pedal may change, but this is not a
malfunction.
When to use the Stop & Start system
