218 2-1. Driving procedures
YARIS_F (including HV)_WE_52D27E
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.

NOTICE
When parking the vehicle (vehicles with a hybrid transmission or a
Multidrive)
Always shift the shift lever to P. Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to
move or the vehicle may accelerate suddenly if the accelerator pedal is acci-
dentally depressed.
Avoiding damage to vehicle parts
Do not turn the steering wheel fully in either direction and hold it there for
an extended period of time.
Doing so may damage the power steering motor.
When driving over bumps in the road, drive as slowly as possible to avoid
damaging the wheels, underside of the vehicle, etc.
Diesel engine only: Make sure to idle the engine immediately after high-
speed driving or hill climbing. Stop the engine only after the turbocharger
has cooled down.
Failure to do so may cause damage to the turbocharger.
If you get a flat tire while driving
A flat or damaged tire may cause the following situations. Hold the steering
wheel firmly and gradually depress the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle.
It may be difficult to control your vehicle.
The vehicle will make abnormal sounds or vibrations.
The vehicle will lean abnormally.
