4806-3. Battery Runs Out
YARIS_YARIS HATCHBACK_OM_OM99V59z_(U)
WARNING
■ Follow These Precautions Carefully
To ensure safe and correct handling of the battery, read the fo llowing pre-
cautions carefully before using the battery or inspecting it.
■ Keep flames and sparks away from open battery cells and do
not allow metal tools to contact the positive (+) or negative ( -) terminal
of the battery when working near a battery. Do not allow the positive (+)
terminal to contact the vehicle body
Flames and sparks near open battery cells are dangerous. Hydrog en gas,
produced during normal battery operation, could ignite and cause the bat-
tery to explode. An exploding battery can cause serious burns a nd injuries.
Keep all flames including cigarettes and sparks away from open battery
cells.
■ Keep all flames and sparks away from open battery cells
because hydrogen gas is produced from open battery cells while
charging the battery or adding battery fluid
Flames and sparks near open battery cells are dangerous. Hydrog en gas,
produced during normal battery operation, could ignite and cause the bat-
tery to explode. An exploding battery can cause serious burns a nd injuries.
Keep all flames including cigarettes and sparks away from open battery
cells.
■ Do not jump-start a frozen bat tery or one with a low fluid leve l
Jump-starting a frozen battery or one with a low fluid level is dangerous. It
may rupture or explode, causing serious injury.
■ Connect the negative cable to a good ground point away from the bat-
tery
Connecting the end of the second jumper cable to the negative ( -) terminal
of the discharged battery is dangerous.
A spark could cause the gas around the battery to explode and i njure some-
one.
■ Route the jumper cables away from parts that will be moving
Connecting a jumper cable near or to moving parts (cooling fans, belts) is
dangerous. The cable could get caught when the engine starts an d cause

■Low Fuel Warning Light
The light illumination timing may vary because fuel inside the fuel tank moves
around according to the driving conditions and the vehicle post ure.
■ Seat Belt Warning Light
●The warning light flashes for about 6 seconds if the driver’s s eat belt is not
fastened when the ignition is switched ON.
● To allow the front passenger occupant classification sensor to function prop-
erly, do not place and sit on an additional seat cushion on the front passen-
ger’s seat. The sensor may not function properly because the ad ditional
seat cushion could cause sensor interference.
● If a small child is seated on the front passenger’s seat, the warning light may
not operate.
■ Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light
●
Perform tire pressure adjustment when the tires are cold. Tire pressure
will vary according to the tire temperature, therefore let the vehicle stand
for 1 hour or only drive it 1 mile (1.6 km) or less before adju sting the tire
pressures. When pressure is adjusted on hot tires to the cold i nflation
pressure, the TPMS warning light/beep may turn on after the tir es cool
and pressure drops below specification.
Also, an illuminated TPMS warning light, resulting from the tire air pres-
sure dropping due to cold ambient temperature will remain illum inated
even if the ambient t emperature rises. In this case, it will also be neces-
sary to adjust the tire air pressures. If the TPMS warning ligh t illuminates
due to a drop in tire air pressure, make sure to check and adju st the tire
air pressures.
●Tires lose air naturally over time and the TPMS cannot tell if the tires are
getting too soft over time or you have a flat. However, when you find one
low tire in a set of four-that is an indication of trouble; you should have
someone drive the vehicle slowly forward so you can inspect any low
tire for cuts and any metal objects sticking through tread or s idewall. Put
a few drops of water in the valve stem to see if it bubbles ind icating a
bad valve. Leaks need to be addressed by more than simply reinf lating
the tire as leaks are dangerous - take it to your Toyota dealer .
