■Hybrid battery (traction battery) air intake vent
● Do not get water or foreign materials in the air intake vent as this may
cause a short circuit and damage the hybrid battery (traction battery).
● Do not carry large amounts of water such as water cooler bottles in the
vehicle. If water spills onto the hybrid battery (traction battery), the battery
may be damaged. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
● There is a filter installed to the air intake vent. When the filter remains
noticeably dirty even after cleaning the air intake vent, filter cleaning or
replacement is recommended. For information regarding filter cleaning or
replacement, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
● Vehicles with color display: If “Maintenance required for Traction battery
cooling parts. See owner’s manual.” is shown on the multi-information dis-
play, the air intake vent and filter may be clogged. Refer to P. 420 for infor-
mation on how to clean the air intake vent.
● Do not place objects that will block the
air intake vent. When the air intake vent
is blocked, the battery operations will be
restricted and cause a decline in fuel
consumption.
● Clean the air intake vent regularly to
prevent the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) from overheating.

2104-1. Before driving
YARIS_HV_OM_Europe_OM52J66E
WARNING
■When taking a nap in the vehicle
Always turn the hybrid system off. Otherwise, if you accidentally move the
shift lever or depress the accelerator pedal, this could cause an accident or
fire due to hybrid system overheating. Additionally, if the vehicle is parked in
a poorly ventilated area, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle,
leading to death or a serious health hazard.
■ When braking
● When the brakes are wet, drive more cautiously.
Braking distance increases when the brakes are wet, and this may cause
one side of the vehicle to brake differently than the other side. Also, the
parking brake may not securely hold the vehicle.
● If the electronically controlled brake system does not operate, do not fol-
low other vehicles closely and avoid hills or sharp turns that require brak-
ing.
In this case, braking is still possible, but the brake pedal should be
depressed more firmly than usual. Also, the braking distance will increase.
Have your brakes fixed immediately.
● The brake system consists of 2 or more individual hydraulic systems; if
one of the systems fails, the other(s) will still operate. In this case, the
brake pedal should be depressed more firmly than usual and the braking
distance will increase. Have your brakes fixed immediately.

■ Steering lock
After turning the power switch off and opening and closing the doors, the
steering wheel will be locked due to the steering lock function. Operating the
power switch again automatically cancels the steering lock.
■ When the steering lock cannot be released
■ Steering lock motor overheating prevention
To prevent the steering lock motor from overheating, the motor may be sus-
pended if the hybrid system is turned on and off repeatedly in a short period
of time. In this case, refrain from operating the hybrid system. After about 10
seconds, the steering lock motor will resume functioning.
■ If the “READY” indicator does not come on
If the event that the “READY” indicator does not come on even after perform-
ing the proper procedures for starting t he vehicle, contact any authorized Toy-

*: To improve fuel efficiency and reduce noises, set the shift lever in D for
normal driving.
Suitable for improving the fuel economy, because the torque corre-
sponding to the accelerator pedal depression amount can be gener-
ated more smoothly than it is in normal conditions and the operation
of the air conditioning system (heating/cooling) will be minimized.
Eco drive mode
When Eco drive mode is turned on,
the “ECO MODE” indicator will
come on.
Pressing the “ECO MODE” switch
again turns Eco drive mode off.
■ Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode
Eco drive mode controls the heating/cooling operations and fan speed of the
air conditioning system to enhance fuel efficiency. ( P. 393) To improve air
conditioning performance, adjust the temper ature setting or fan speed, or turn
off Eco drive mode.
