• The driver’s seat belt is unfastened.
• The driver’s door is opened.
• The hood is opened.
• The vehicle is stopped on a steep hill.
• The brake booster vacuum is low.
• A large amount of electricity is being used.
• At high altitude.
When the above conditions improve, the Stop & Start system will stop and
restart the engine from the next time the vehicle is stopped.
● In the following situations, the engine may start even without the brake
pedal being released (Multidrive) or clutch pedal being depressed (manual
transmission).
• The brake pedal is pumped or strongly depressed.
• The air conditioning system is being used or turned on.
• Vehicles with an automatic air c onditioning system: The windshield
defogger is turned on.
• The battery is not sufficiently charged.
• The vehicle starts to roll on an incline.
• Vehicles with a Multidrive: The hood is opened when the shift lever is in N
or P.
• Vehicles with a Multidrive: The shift lever is shifted into a position other
than N or P.
• The accelerator pedal is depressed.
• A large amount of electricity is being used.
• The driver’s door is opened.
• The driver’s seat belt is unfastened.
● In the following situations, it may take longer than normal for the Stop & Start
system to activate.
• The battery is discharged.
• After the battery terminals have been disconnected and reconnected
after a battery replacement, etc.
• The engine coolant temperature is low.
■ Automatic reactivation of the Stop & Start system
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system
Even if the Stop & Start system is disabled by the Stop & Start cancel switch,
it will be automatically re-enabled once the engine switch is turned to the
“LOCK” position then to the “START” position.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system
Even if the Stop & Start system is disabled by the Stop & Start cancel switch,
it will be automatically re-enabled once the engine switch is turned off then
the engine is started.

■ 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 switch off then to ACCESSORY mode or
IGNITION ON mode re-enables the audio system.
■ 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 automatic
engine start function. Restart the engi ne with the engine switch operation.
( P. 184, 187)
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.
■ When to use the Stop & Start system
Use the Stop & Start system when stopping the vehicle temporarily at red
lights, intersections, etc. When stoppi ng the vehicle for a longer period of
time, turn off the engine completely.
■ Stop & Start system warning buzzer
If the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system and either of the following
actions is performed, a buzzer will sound and the Stop & Start indicator will
flash (Multidrive), or a buzzer will sound (manual transmission). This indi-
cates that the engine is only stopped by the Stop & Start system, not that the
engine has been turned off completely.
Vehicles with a Multidrive
The driver’s door is opened when the shift lever is in D or M.
Vehicles with a manual transmission
The shift lever is shifted into a position other than N with the clutch pedal
released.

2604-6. Using the driving support systems
YARIS_F_WE_52G04E
Driving assist systems
◆ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly,
or if the brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface
◆Brake assist
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal
is depressed when the system detects a panic stop situation
◆VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) (if equipped)
Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or
turning on slippery road surfaces
◆TRC (Traction Control) (if equipped)
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the drive wheels from
spinning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads
◆EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Employs an electric motor to reduce the amount of effort needed to
turn the steering wheel
◆PCS (Pre-Crash Safety system) (if equipped)
P. 2 2 7
◆Emergency brake signal
When the brakes are applied suddenly, the emergency flashers
automatically flash to alert the vehicle behind.
To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following
systems operate automatically in response to various driving
situations. Be aware, however, that these systems are supple-
mentary and should not be relied upon too heavily when operat-
ing the vehicle.

YARIS_F_WE_52G04E
■Turning off both TRC and VSC systems
To turn TRC and VSC systems off, press and hold the VSC OFF switch for
more than 3 seconds while the vehicle is stopped.
The “TRC OFF” indicator and the VSC OFF indicator will come on.
Press the switch again to turn the systems back on.
On vehicles with pre-crash safety system, pre-crash brake assist and pre-
crash braking will also be disabled. The PCS warning light will come on.
( P. 233)
■ When the “TRC OFF” indicator comes on even if the VSC OFF switch
has not been pressed
TRC cannot be operated. Contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
■ Sounds and vibrations caused by the ABS, brake assist, TRC and VSC
systems
● A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the brake pedal
is depressed repeatedly, when the engine is started or just after the vehicle
begins to move. This sound does not indicate that a malfunction has
occurred in any of these systems.
● Any of the following conditions may occur when the above systems are
operating. None of these indicates that a malfunction has occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard after the vehicle comes to a stop.
• The brake pedal may pulsate slightly after the ABS is activated.
• The brake pedal may move down slightly after the ABS is activated.
■ EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is operated, a motor sound (whirring sound) may be
heard. This does not indicate a malfunction.
■ Automatic reactivation of TRC and VSC systems
After turning the TRC and VSC systems off, the systems will be automatically
re-enabled in the following situations:
● When the engine switch is turned to the “LOCK” position
● If only the TRC system is turned off, the TRC will turn on when vehicle
speed increases
If both the TRC and VSC systems are turned off, automatic re-enabling will
not occur when vehicle speed increases.
■ Reduced effectiveness of the EPS system
The effectiveness of the EPS system is reduced to prevent the system from
overheating when there is frequent steering input over an extended period of
time. The steering wheel may feel heavy as a result. Should this occur, refrain
from excessive steering input or stop the vehicle and turn the engine off. The
EPS system should return to normal within 10 minutes.

2684-7. Driving tips
YARIS_F_WE_52G04E
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a safe distance between you and
the vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced speed suitable to road con-
ditions.
Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to P (Multidrive) 1 or R (man-
ual transmission) without setting the parking brake. The parking brake
may freeze up, preventing it from being released. If necessary, block
the wheels to prevent inadvertent sliding or creeping.
Use the correct tire chain size when mounting the tire chains.
Chain size is regulated for each tire size.
Side chain
Except 175/65R14 tires:
3 mm (0.12 in.) in diameter
175/65R14 tires:
4 mm (0.16 in.) in diameter
Cross chain
Except 175/65R14 tires:
4 mm (0.16 in.) in diameter
175/65R14 tires:
5 mm (0.20 in.) in diameter
Regulations regarding the use of tire chains vary depending on loca-
tion and type of road. Always check local regulations before installing
chains.
