214 2-1. Driving procedures
YARIS_F (including HV)_WE_52C79E
CAUTION
Except hybrid vehicle: Shifting the shift lever to N while the vehicle is mov-
ing will disengage the engine from the transmission. Engine braking is not
available when N is selected.
Hybrid vehicle: Shifting the shift lever to N while the vehicle is moving will
disengage the hybrid system. Engine braking is not available with the
hybrid system disengaged.
Except hybrid vehicle: During normal driving, do not turn off the engine.
Turning the engine off while driving will not cause loss of steering or brak-
ing control, but the power assist to these systems will be lost. This will
make it more difficult to steer and brake, so you should pull over and stop
the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
However, in the event of an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible
to stop the vehicle in the normal way: P. 650
Hybrid vehicle: During normal driving, do not turn off the hybrid system.
Turning the hybrid system off while driving will not cause loss of steering or
braking control, but the power assist to these systems will be lost. This will
make it more difficult to steer and brake, so you should pull over and stop
the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
However, in the event of an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible
to stop the vehicle in the normal way: P. 650
Use engine braking (downshift [except hybrid vehicle] or shift position B
[hybrid vehicle]) to maintain a safe speed when driving down a steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose
effectiveness. (P. 253, 256, 260)
When stopped on an inclined surface, use the brake pedal and parking
brake to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward or forward and causing
an accident.
Do not adjust the positions of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or
outside rear view mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control that can cause accidents,
resulting in death or serious injury.
Always check that all passengers’ arms, heads or other parts of their body
are not outside the vehicle, as this may result in death or serious injury.
