Driving
YARIS_HV_OM_Europe_OM52G76E
Firmly set the parking brake with the brake pedal depressed, and 
then shift the shift lever to D. 
Release the brake pedal and gently depress the accelerator pedal. 
Release the parking brake.
■ When starting off on an uphill 
The hill-start assist control will activate. ( P. 244) 
■ For fuel-efficient driving 
Keep in mind that hybrid vehicles are similar to conventional vehicles, and it 
is necessary to refrain from activities such as sudden acceleration. ( P. 250) 
■ 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 (186 miles): 
Avoid sudden stops. 
● For the first 1600 km (994 miles): 
• Do not drive at extremely high speeds. 
• Avoid sudden acceleration. 
• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods. 
■ Operating your vehicle in a foreign country 
Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability 
of the correct fuel. ( P. 474)

WARNING
●While driving, such as when driving through a railway crossing, the system 
may determine that the possibility of a collision with an object, such as rail- 
way crossing barrier, is high and operate the pre-crash braking function.
To move the vehicle in an emergency, such as if the system operates in a 
railway crossing, perform the following operations and then take the nec- 
essary measures to ensure your safety. 
• If the vehicle has been stopped, depress the accelerator pedal.  
• If the vehicle is decelerating, fully depress the accelerator pedal. 
( P. 222) 
• Disable the pre-crash safety system. ( P. 221) 
■ When to disable the pre-crash safety system 
In the following situations, disable the system, as it may not operate prop- 
erly, possibly leading to an accident resulting in death or serious injury: 
● When the vehicle is being towed 
● When your vehicle is towing another vehicle 
● When transporting the vehicle via truck, boat, train or similar means of 
transportation 
● When the vehicle is raised on a lift with the hybrid system on and the tires 
are allowed to rotate freely 
● When inspecting the vehicle using a drum tester such as a chassis dyna- 
mometer or speedometer tester, or when using an on vehicle wheel bal- 
ancer 
● If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehi- 
cle has been in an accident or is malfunctioning 
● When the vehicle is driven in a sporty manner or off-road 
● When the condition of the tires is poor and they do not perform well  
 P. 348, 363) 
● When tires of a size other than specified are installed 
● When tire chains are installed 
● When a compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture repair kit is used

• If the wheels are misaligned 
• If a wiper blade is blocking the front sensor 
• The vehicle is wobbling. 
• The vehicle is being driven at extremely high speeds.
• When driving on roads with sharp bends or uneven surfaces 
• When a preceding vehicle is a poor reflector of laser 
● In some situations such as the following, sufficient braking force may not be 
obtained, preventing the system from performing properly: 
• If the braking functions cannot operate to their full extent, such as when 
the brake parts are extremely  cold, extremely hot, or wet 
• If the vehicle is not properly maintained (brakes or tires are excessively
worn, improper tire inflation pressure, etc.) 
• When the vehicle is being driven on a gravel road or other slippery sur- 
face 
• If your vehicle is skidding 
• When the front part of the vehicle is 
raised or lowered 
• When the sensor is misaligned due to 
a strong impact being applied to the 
sensor, etc.

● When the lane markers are on a curb etc. 
● When lane markers are obscured or partially obscured by sand, dirt, etc. 
● When there are shadows on the road running parallel with lane markers, or 
if a shadow covers the lane markers 
● When driving on a particularly bright road surface, such as concrete 
● When driving on a road surface that is bright due to reflected light 
● When driving in a location where the light level changes rapidly, such as the 
entrance to or exit from a tunnel 
● When sunlight or the headlights of oncoming vehicles are shining directly 
into the camera lens 
● When driving on roads that are branching or merging 
● When driving on a road surface that is wet due to rain, previous rainfall, 
standing water, etc. 
● When the vehicle experiences strong up-and-down motion such as when 
driving on an extremely rough road  or on a seam in the pavement 
● When headlight brightness at nighttime is reduced due to dirt on the lenses, 
or when the headlights are misaligned 
● When driving on winding roads or roads that are uneven 
● When driving on rough or unpaved roads 
● When the windshield is dirty, or if raindrops, condensation or ice are adher- 
ing to the windshield 
● When the heater is blowing to the feet, the upper part of the windshield may 
get fogged up and have a negative effect 
● When cleaning the inside of the windshield, touching the lens or getting 
glass cleaner on the lens may have a negative effect 
■ When changing the tires 
Depending on the tires used, sufficient performance may not be maintainable. 
■ If the LDA indicator comes on in yellow 
It may indicate a malfunction in the system. Contact any authorized Toyota 
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional. 

2484-6. Using the driving support systems
YARIS_HV_OM_Europe_OM52G76E
WARNING
■The ABS does not operate effectively when 
● The limits of tire gripping performance have been exceeded (such as 
excessively worn tires on a snow covered road). 
● The vehicle hydroplanes while driving at high speed on wet or slick roads. 
■ Stopping distance when the ABS is operating may exceed that of nor- 
mal conditions 
The ABS is not designed to shorten t he vehicle’s stopping distance. Always 
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, especially in the 
following situations: 
● When driving on dirt, gravel or snow-covered roads 
● When driving with tire chains 
● When driving over bumps in the road 
● When driving over roads with potholes or roads with uneven surfaces 
■ TRC may not operate effectively when 
Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slip- 
pery road surfaces, even if the TRC system is operating.  
Do not drive the vehicle in conditions where stability and power may be lost. 
■ Hill-start assist control does not operate effectively when 
● Do not overly rely on the hill-start assist control. The 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. 
■ When the VSC is activated 
The slip indicator flashes. Always drive carefully. Reckless driving may 
cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the indicator light flashes. 
■ When the TRC/VSC systems are turned off 
Be especially careful and drive at a speed appropriate to the road condi- 
tions. As these are the systems to help ensure vehicle stability and driving 
force, do not turn the TRC/VSC systems off unless necessary.

WARNING
■Replacing tires 
Make sure that all tires are of the specified size, brand, tread pattern and 
total load capacity. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to the 
recommended tire inflation pressure level. 
The ABS, TRC and VSC systems will not function correctly if different tires 
are installed on the vehicle. 
Contact any authorized Toyota dealer or  repairer, or another duly qualified 
and equipped professional for further in formation when replacing tires or 
wheels. 
■ Handling of tires and the suspension 
Using tires with any kind of problem or  modifying the suspension will affect 
the driving assist systems, and may cause a system to malfunction.
