YARIS_F (including HV)_WE_52C79E
Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode
Eco drive mode controls the heating/cooling operations and fan speed of the
air conditioning system to enhance fuel efficiency. (P. 368) To improve air
conditioning performance, adjust the temperature setting or fan speed, or
turn off Eco drive mode.
When in heavy traffic
If the shift lever is in N, the hybrid battery (traction battery) will not be
charged. To help prevent the battery from discharging, avoid putting the shift
lever in N for an extended period of time.
If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P
P. 616
CAUTION
When driving on slippery road surfaces
Do not accelerate or shift gears suddenly.
Sudden changes in engine braking may cause the vehicle to spin or skid,
resulting in an accident.

Shift position purpose
*1: To improve fuel consumption and reduce noises, set the shift lever in
the D position for normal driving.
*2: Selecting gear step using the M position achieves suitable engine
braking forces by operating shift lever.
Selecting a driving mode
Press the switch.
For powerful acceleration and
driving in mountainous
regions.
The “SPORT” indicator will
come on.
Press the switch once more to
return the normal mode.

Changing gears in M mode
When shift lever is in the M position, the shift lever or paddle shift
switches can be operated as follows:
Shift lever
Upshifting
Downshifting
Shifting operation may be
restricted depending on the vehi-
cle speed.
Selecting Easy sports (Es) mode (when the shift lever is in E
only)
Es mode can be selected for superior driving performance and
to achieve a feeling of faster acceleration than in E mode.
Turn Easy sports (Es) mode
on/off
To improve fuel economy, can-
cel Es mode for ordinary driv-
ing.
