Winter driving tips
●Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside tempera- 
tures.  
• Engine oil 
• Engine/power control unit coolant 
• Washer fluid 
• Power control unit coolant (hybrid system) 
● Have a service technician inspect the condition of the 12-volt bat- 
tery. 
● Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set of tire 
chains for the front tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same size and brand, and that their wear 
level is not noticeably different with each other. Also make sure that 
chains match the size of the tires.
Perform the following according to the driving conditions:  
● Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is frozen. 
Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe away
the water immediately to prevent it from freezing.  
● To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan, 
remove any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in 
front of the windshield.  
● Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accu- 
mulated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis, around the 
tires or on the brakes. 
● Remove any snow or mud from the bottom of your shoes before 
getting in the vehicle.
Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before
driving the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a man- 
ner appropriate to the prevailing weather conditions.

2544-7. Driving tips
YARIS_HV_OM_Europe_OM52G76E
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 without setting the 
parking brake. The parking brake may freeze up, preventing it from 
being released. If the vehicle is parked without setting the parking
brake, make sure to block the wheels.  
Failure to do so may be dangerous because it may cause the vehi- 
cle to move unexpectedly, leading to an accident. 
● If the vehicle is parked without setting the parking brake, confirm 
that the shift lever cannot be moved out of P*.
*: The shift lever will be locked if it is attempted to be shifted from P to any 
other position without depressing the brake pedal. If the shift lever can
be shifted from P, there may be a problem with the shift lock system.
Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and equipped professional immediately.
Use the correct tire chain size when mounting the tire chains.  
Chain size is regulated for each tire size. 
Side chain  
3 mm (0.12 in.) in diameter 
Cross chain  
4 mm (0.16 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.

■Tire chain installation 
Observe the following precautions when installing and removing chains: 
● Install and remove tire chains in a safe location. 
● Install tire chains on the front tires only. Do not install tire chains on the rear 
tires. 
● Install tire chains on front tires as tightly as possible. Retighten chains after 
driving 0.5   1.0 km (1/4  1/2 mile). 
● Install tire chains following the instructions provided with the tire chains. 
● If wheel ornaments are used, they will be scratched by the chain band, so 
remove the ornaments before putting on the chains. ( P. 420)
WARNING
■Driving with snow tires 
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.  
Failure to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or
serious injury. 
● Use tires of the specified size. 
● Maintain the recommended level of air pressure. 
● Do not drive at speeds in excess of the speed limit or the speed limit spec- 
ified for the snow tires being used. 
● Use snow tires on all, not just some wheels. 
● Do not use tires of noticeably different wear level. 
■ Driving with tire chains 
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.  
Failure to do so may result in the vehicle being unable to be driven safely, 
and may cause death or serious injury. 
● Do not drive in excess of the speed limit specified for the tire chains being 
used, or 50 km/h (30 mph), whichever is lower. 
● Avoid driving on bumpy road surfaces or over potholes. 
● Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt steering, sudden braking and shifting 
operations that cause sudden engine braking. 
● Slow down sufficiently before entering a curve to ensure that vehicle con- 
trol is maintained. 
● Do not use LDA (Lane Departure Alert) (if equipped). 

3507-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
YARIS_HV_OM_Europe_OM52G76E
When replacing tires or wheels, tire pressure warning valves and 
transmitters must also be installed. 
When new tire pressure warning valves and transmitters are installed, 
new ID codes must be registered in the tire pressure warning com- 
puter and the tire pressure warning system must be initialized. Have 
tire pressure warning valve and transmitter ID codes registered by 
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and 
equipped professional. ( P. 352)
■The tire pressure warning system must be initialized in the fol- 
lowing circumstances: 
● When rotating front and rear tires which have different tire infla- 
tion pressures 
● When the tire inflation pressure is changed such as when chang- 
ing traveling speed 
● When changing the tire size 
When the tire pressure warning system is initialized, the current tire 
inflation pressure is set as the benchmark pressure.

The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is equipped with a 
unique ID code. When replacing a tire pressure warning valve and 
transmitter, it is necessary to register the ID code. Have the ID code 
registered by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly 
qualified and equipped professional.
■ When to replace your vehicle’s tires 
Tires should be replaced if: 
● Tire tread wear indicators are showing on a tire. 
● You have tire damage such as cuts, splits, cracks deep enough to expose 
the fabric, and bulges indicating internal damage 
● A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be properly repaired due to the size or 
location of a cut or other damage 
If you are not sure, consult with any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or 
another duly qualified and equipped professional. 
■ Replacing tire and wheels (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system) 
If the ID code of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is not regis- 
tered, the tire pressure warning system will not work properly. After driving for 
about 10 minutes, the tire pressure warning light blinks for 1 minute and stays
on to indicate a system malfunction. 
■ Tire life 
Any tire over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified technician even if it 
has seldom or never been used or damage is not obvious. 
■ Low profile tires (vehicles with 195/50R16 tires) 
Generally, low profile tires will wear  more rapidly and tire grip performance 
will be reduced on snowy and/or icy  roads when compared to standard tires. 
Be sure to use snow tires or tire chains on snowy and/or icy roads and drive 
carefully at a speed appropriate for road and weather conditions.
