4405-3. Owner Maintenance
YARIS iA_OM_OM99N89z_(U)
●Always check tire pressure when tires are cold.
●Warm tires normally exceed recommended pressures. Do not release
air from warm tires to adjust the pressure.
●Underinflation can cause reduced fuel economy, uneven and acceler-
ated tire wear, and poor sealing of the tire bead, which will deform the
wheel and cause separation of tire from rim.
●Overinflation can produce a harsh ride, uneven and accelerated tire
wear, and a greater po ssibility of damage from road hazards.
Keep your tire pressure at the correct levels. If one frequently needs
inflating, have it inspected.
During rotation, inspect them for
correct balance.
WARNING
■Always inflate the tires to the correct pressure
Overinflation or underinflation of tires is dangerous. Adverse handling or
unexpected tire failure could re sult in a serious accident.
Refer to Tires on ( →P. 558).
■Use only a Toyota-genuine tire valve cap
Use of a non-genuine part is danger ous as the correct tire air pressure
cannot be maintained if the tire valv e becomes damaged. If the vehicle
is driven under this condition, the tire air pr essure will decrease which
could result in a serious accident. Do not use any part for the tire valve
cap that is not a Toyota-genuine part.

4685-4. Appearance Care
YARIS iA_OM_OM99N89z_(U)
Road chemicals and salt used for ice and snow removal and solvents
used for dust control may collect on the underbody. If not removed,
they will speed up rusti ng and deterioration of such underbody parts
as fuel lines, frame, floor pan, a nd exhaust system, even though these
parts may be coated with anti-corrosive material.
Thoroughly flush the underbody and wheel housings with lukewarm or
cold water at the end of each winter. Try also to do this every month.
Pay special attention to these areas because they easily hide mud
and dirt. It will do more harm than good to wet down the road grime
without removing it.
The lower edges of doors, rocker panels, and frame members have
drain holes that should not be clogged. Water tr apped there will cause
rusting.
A protective coating is provided over the aluminum wheels. Special
care is needed to protect this coating.
Underbody Maintenance
WARNING
■ Dry off brakes that have become wet by driving slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying the brakes several times until
the brake performance returns to normal
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous. Increased stopping distance or the
vehicle pulling to one side when braking could result in a serious accident.
Light braking will indicate whether the brakes have been affected.

6-4. Emergency Starting
Starting a Flooded Engine
Follow this procedure:If the engine does not start within five seconds on the first try, wait
ten seconds and try again.
Make sure the parking brake is on.
Depress the accelerator all the way and hold it there.
Depress the clutch pedal (Manual transaxle) or the brake pedal
(Automatic transaxle), then pres s the push button start. If the
engine starts, release the accele rator immediately because the
engine will suddenly rev up.
If the engine fails to start, crank it without depressing the accelera-
tor.
If the engine still does not start using the above procedure, have your
vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
If the engine fails to start, it may be flooded (excessive fuel in
the engine).
