When driving
YARIS_F (including HV)_WE_52C79E
CAUTION
When the vehicle is parked
Do not leave glasses, cigarette lighters, spray cans, or soft drink cans in
the vehicle when it is in the sun.
Doing so may result in the following:
• Gas may leak from a cigarette lighter or spray can, and may lead to a
fire.
• The temperature inside the vehicle may cause the plastic lenses and
plastic material of glasses to deform or crack.
• Soft drink cans may fracture, causing the contents to spray over the
interior of the vehicle, and may also cause a short circuit in the vehi-
cle's electrical components.
Do not leave cigarette lighters in the vehicle. If a cigarette lighter is in a
place such as the glove box or on the floor, it may be lit accidentally when
luggage is loaded or the seat is adjusted, causing a fire.
Do not attach adhesive discs to the windshield or windows. Do not place
containers such as air fresheners on the instrument panel or dashboard.
Adhesive discs or containers may act as lenses, causing a fire in the vehi-
cle.
Do not leave a door or window open if the curved glass is coated with a
metallized film such as a silver-colored one. Reflected sunlight may cause
the glass to act as a lens, causing a fire.
On vehicles with a hybrid transmission, always apply the parking brake,
shift the shift lever to P, stop the hybrid system and lock the vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle unattended while the hybrid system is operating.
Sound or shuddering may not be noticed even when the hybrid vehicle is
ready to drive (when the “READY” indicator is illuminated).
On vehicles with a Multidrive, always apply the parking brake, shift the
shift lever to P, stop the engine and lock the vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running.

CAUTION
When braking
When the brakes are wet, drive more cautiously.
Braking distance increases when the brakes are wet, and this may cause
one side of the vehicle to brake differently than the other side. Also, the
parking brake may not securely hold the vehicle.
If the brake actuator (hybrid vehicle) or brake booster (except hybrid vehi-
cle) does not operate, do not follow other vehicles closely and avoid hills
or sharp turns that require braking.
In this case, braking is still possible, but the brake pedal should be
depressed more firmly than usual. Also, the braking distance will increase.
Do not pump the brake pedal if the engine stalls.
Each push on the brake pedal uses up the reserve for the power-assisted
brakes.
Except hybrid vehicle: The brake system consists of 2 individual hydraulic
systems; if one of the systems fails, the other will still operate. In this case,
the brake pedal should be depressed more firmly than usual and the brak-
ing distance will increase. If this happens, do not continue to drive the
vehicle. Have your brakes fixed immediately.
Hybrid vehicle: The brake system consists of 2 individual hydraulic sys-
tems; if one of the systems fails, the others will still operate. In this case,
the brake pedal should be depressed more firmly than usual and the brak-
ing distance will increase. If this happens, do not continue to drive the
vehicle. If the brake system warning light (red indicator) comes on together
with the buzzer sound while driving, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe
place and contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
