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.

YARIS_F (including HV)_WE_52C79E
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.

The Stop & Start system protection feature
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system:
When an excessively loud sound is being projected by the audio system, the
audio system may be automatically cut off in order to maintain power for the
Stop & Start system function.
If this occurs, turning the engine switch to the “LOCK” position then to the
“ACC” or “ON” position re-enables the audio system.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system:
When an excessively loud sound is being projected by the audio system, the
audio system may be automatically cut off in order to maintain power for the
Stop & Start system function.
If this occurs, turning the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off then to ACCES-
SORY mode or IGNITION ON mode re-enables the audio system.
Steering wheel operation
When the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system, the steering wheel
may become heavier than when driving.
Hood
If the hood is opened while the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system,
the engine cannot be restarted by the Stop & Start system or by the auto-
matic engine start function. Restart the engine with the engine switch opera-
tion. (P. 224, 228)
Vehicles with a Multidrive: If the hood is opened while the engine is stopped
by the Stop & Start system and the shift lever is in N or P, the engine will
restart.
Hill-start assist control (vehicles with a Multidrive)
On a steep uphill grade, the vehicle may roll backward after hill-start
assist control is released. In this situation, apply the parking brake and
operate the brake pedal when putting the vehicle in motion.
This system operates on flat surfaces as well as steep grades.
When the engine is stopped due to Stop & Start system operation, the
force required to depress the brake pedal may change, but this is not a
malfunction.
When to use the Stop & Start system
Use the Stop & Start system when stopping the vehicle temporarily at red
lights, intersections, etc. When stopping the vehicle for a longer period of
time, turn off the engine completely.

Hill-start assist control (hybrid vehicle)
Hill-start assist control operating conditions
The system operates in the following situations:
• The shift lever is in a position other than P.
• The parking brake is not applied.
• The accelerator pedal is not depressed.
Hill-start assist control cannot be operated while the slip indicator light is
illuminated.
Hill-start assist control
While hill-start assist control is operating, the brakes remain automati-
cally applied after the driver releases the brake pedal. The stop lights and
the high mounted stoplight turn on.
Hill-start assist control operates for about 2 seconds after the brake pedal
is released.
If the slip indicator does not flash and the buzzer does not sound when
the brake pedal is further depressed, slightly reduce the pressure on the
brake pedal (do not allow the vehicle to roll backward) and then firmly
depress it again. If the system still does not operate, check that the oper-
ating conditions explained above have been met.
Assists with starting off and temporarily maintains braking power
even if the foot is removed from the brake pedal when starting off on
an incline or a slippery slope.
To engage hill-start assist con-
trol, further depress the brake
pedal when the vehicle is
stopped completely.
A buzzer will sound once to
indicate the system is acti-
vated. The slip indicator will
also start flashing.

Hill-start assist control buzzer
When hill-start assist control is activated, the buzzer will sound once.
In the following situations, hill-start assist control will be canceled and the
buzzer will sound twice.
• No attempt is made to drive the vehicle within approximately 2 seconds
of releasing the brake pedal.
• The shift lever is moved to P.
• The parking brake is applied.
• The brake pedal is depressed again.
• The brake pedal has been depressed for more than approximately 3
minutes.
If a buzzer other than the hill-start assist control buzzer is sounding, the
hill-start assist control buzzer may not sound.
If the slip indicator comes on
It may indicate a malfunction in the system. Contact any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
CAUTION
Hill-start assist control
Do not overly rely on hill-start assist control. Hill-start assist control may
not operate effectively on steep inclines and roads covered with ice.
Unlike the parking brake, hill-start assist control is not intended to hold the
vehicle stationary for an extended period of time. Do not attempt to use
hill-start assist control to hold the vehicle on an incline, as doing so may
lead to an accident.
