Passenger detection sensor and passenger seat belt reminder
If luggage is placed on a passenger seat, the passenger detection sensor
may cause the warning light to flash even if a passenger is not sitting in
the seat.
If a cushion is placed on the seat, the sensor may not detect a passen-
ger, and the warning light may not operate properly.
Electric power steering warning light (warning buzzer)
Except hybrid vehicle: When the battery charge becomes insufficient or the
voltage temporarily drops, the electric power steering system warning light
may come on and the warning buzzer may sound.
Hybrid vehicle: When the 12-volt battery charge becomes insufficient or the
voltage temporarily drops, the electric power steering system warning light
may come on and the warning buzzer may sound.
If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while driving
For some models, the malfunction indicator lamp will come on if the fuel tank
becomes completely empty. If the fuel tank is empty, refuel the vehicle
immediately. The malfunction indicator lamp will go off after several trips.
If the malfunction indicator lamp does not go off, contact any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional as soon as possible.
If the engine oil change reminder light flashes (diesel engine with a
DPF system)
Repeated short trips and/or low-speed driving may cause the oil to degrade
sooner than usual, regardless of the actual distance driven. If this happens,
the engine oil change reminder light will flash.
Engine oil change reminder light comes on (diesel engine only)
Vehicles without a DPF system:
Replace the engine oil and oil filter when the engine oil change reminder
light does not come on even if you have driven over 40000 km (25000 miles)
after the engine oil was changed.
There is a possibility that the engine oil change reminder light has been illu-
minated when you have driven less than 40000 km (25000 miles) based on
a usage or driving condition.

YARIS_F (including HV)_WE_52C79E
Starting the engine when the battery is discharged (vehicles with a
Multidrive)
The engine cannot be started by push-starting.
To prevent battery discharge
Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the engine is off.
Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is run-
ning at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic.
Charging the battery
The electricity stored in the battery will discharge gradually even when the
vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining effects of cer-
tain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the battery may
discharge, and the engine may be unable to start. (The battery recharges
automatically during driving.)
Precautions when the battery is discharged (vehicles with a smart
entry & start system)
In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the smart
entry & start system when the battery is discharged. Use the wireless
remote control or the mechanical key to lock or unlock the doors.
The engine may not start on the first attempt after the battery has
recharged but will start normally after the second attempt. This is not a
malfunction.
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch mode is memorized by the vehicle.
When the battery is reconnected, the system will return to the mode it
was in before the battery was discharged. Before disconnecting the bat-
tery, turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the “ENGINE START STOP” switch was in
before the battery discharged, be especially careful when reconnecting
the battery.

ning at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic.
Precautions when the 12-volt battery is discharged
In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the smart
entry & start system immediately after the 12-volt battery has been dis-
connected and reconnected. Use the wireless remote control or the
mechanical key to lock or unlock the doors.
