YARIS_GRMN_OM_Europe_OM52J40E
WARNING
■When folding the rear seatbacks down 
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or 
serious injury. 
● Do not fold the seatbacks down while driving. 
● Stop the vehicle on level ground, set the parking brake and shift the shift 
lever to N. 
● Do not allow anyone to sit on a folded seatback or in the luggage compart- 
ment while driving. 
● Do not allow children to enter the luggage compartment. 
● Do not allow anyone to sit on the rear center seat if the rear right seat is 
folded down, as the seat belt buckle for the rear center seat belt is then
concealed under the folded seat and cannot be used. 
● Be careful not to catch your hand when folding the rear seatbacks. 
● Depending on the position of the front seat, it may interfere when trying to 
fold down the rear seatbacks. If this happens, adjust the position of the 
front seat. 
■ After returning the rear seatback to the upright position 
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or 
serious injury. 
● Check that the seat belts are not twisted or caught in the seatback.
NOTICE
■Stowing the seat belts 
The seat belts and the buckles must be stowed before you fold down the 
rear seatbacks.
● Make sure that the seatback is securely 
locked in position by lightly pushing it
back and forth. 
If the seatback is not securely locked, 
the red marking will be visible on the
seatback lock release knob. Make sure 
that the red marking is not visible.

■ When starting off on an uphill 
The hill-start assist control will activate. ( P. 210) 
■ Driving in the rain 
● Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the win- 
dows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery. 
● Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be espe- 
cially slippery. 
● Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the rain, 
because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road sur- 
face, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly. 
■ Breaking in your new Toyota 
To extend the life of the vehicle, observing the following precautions is recom- 
mended: 
● For the first 300 km (200 miles): 
Avoid sudden stops. 
● For the first 1000 km (600 miles): 
• Do not drive at extremely high speeds. 
• Avoid sudden acceleration. 
• Do not drive continuously in low gears.
• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods. 
■ High friction brake pads 
The brake pads and discs are desi gned for use under high load conditions. 
Therefore, brake noise may be generated depending on the vehicle speed,
braking force and vehicle environment (temperature, humidity, etc.). 
■ Operating your vehicle in a foreign country 
Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability 
of the correct fuel. ( P. 378)
Starting off on a steep uphill 

1804-1. Before driving
YARIS_GRMN_OM_Europe_OM52J40E
WARNING
■If you hear a squealing or scraping noise (brake pad wear indicators) 
Have the brake pads checked and replaced by any authorized Toyota 
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as 
possible.  
Rotor damage may result if the pads are not replaced when needed. 
It is dangerous to drive the vehicle w hen the wear limits of the brake pads 
and/or those of the brake discs are exceeded. 
■ When the vehicle is stopped 
● Do not race the engine. 
If the vehicle is in any gear other than N, the vehicle may accelerate sud-
denly and unexpectedly, causing an accident. 
● If the vehicle is stopped on an incline, in order to prevent accidents caused 
by the vehicle rolling forward or backward, always depress the brake pedal
and securely apply the parking brake as needed. 
● Avoid revving or racing the engine.  
Running the engine at high speed while the vehicle is stopped may cause
the exhaust system to overheat, which could result in a fire if combustible 
material is nearby. 
■ 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 rupture, causing the contents to spray over the 
interior of the vehicle, and may also cause a short circuit in the vehicle’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.
