When driving
YARIS_F (including HV)_WE_52C79E
Engine speed while driving (vehicles with a hybrid transmission and a
Multidrive)
In the following conditions, the engine speed may become high while driving.
This is due to automatic up-shifting control or down-shifting implementation
to meet driving conditions. It does not indicate sudden acceleration.
The vehicle is judged to be driving uphill or downhill
When the accelerator pedal is released
Breaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle, observing the following precautions is rec-
ommended:
Except hybrid vehicle
For the first 300 km (186 miles):
Avoid sudden stops.
For the first 800 km (500 miles):
Do not tow a trailer.
For the first 1000 km (621 miles):
• Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not drive continuously in low gears.
• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.
Hybrid vehicle
For the first 300 km (186 miles):
Avoid sudden stops.
For the first 1600 km (994 miles):
• Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.

210 2-1. Driving procedures
YARIS_F (including HV)_WE_52C79E
Idling time before stopping the engine (diesel engine)
To prevent damage to the turbocharger, allow the engine to idle immediately
after high-speed driving or driving up a hill.
Eco-friendly driving (vehicles with a Multidrive)
Driving conditionIdling time
Normal city driving Not necessary
High-speed driv-
ingConstant speed of approx.
80 km/h (50 mph)Approximately 20
seconds
Constant speed of approx.
100 km/h (63 mph)Approximately 1 minute
Steep hill driving or continuous driving at 100
km/h (63 mph) or more (race track driving etc.)Approximately 2
minutes
During Eco-friendly acceleration opera-
tion (Eco driving), Eco Driving Indicator
Light will turn on. When the accelerator
pedal is depressed excessively, and
when the vehicle is stopped, the light
turns off.
Eco Driving Indicator Light will not oper-
ate in the following conditions:
The shift lever is in anything other than
D.
The driving mode is set to sport mode.
The paddle shift switch is operated
while the shift lever in D.
The vehicle speed is approximately 130
km/h (80 mph) or higher.
Eco Driving Indicator Light can be acti-
vated or deactivated. (P. 291)

When driving
YARIS_F (including HV)_WE_52C79E
Operating your vehicle in a foreign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability
of the correct fuel. (P. 660)
For efficient use (Hybrid vehicle)
Shift the shift lever to D when driving.
In the N position, the gasoline engine operates but electricity cannot be
generated. The hybrid battery (traction battery) will discharge, requiring
unnecessary engine power to recharge.
Drive your vehicle smoothly.
Avoid abrupt acceleration and deceleration. Gradual acceleration and
deceleration will make more effective use of the electric motor (traction
motor) without having to use gasoline engine power.
Avoid repeated acceleration.
Repeated acceleration consumes hybrid battery (traction battery) power,
resulting in poor acceleration. Battery power can be restored by driving
with the accelerator pedal slightly released.
Shift the shift lever to P when parking.
In the N position, the hybrid battery (traction battery) does not recharge.
Leaving the shift lever in the N position for an extended period of time
may discharge the hybrid battery. The vehicle cannot run if the hybrid
battery is discharged.
