2-9. Driving Tips
Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tire chains, window scraper, flares, a
small shovel, jumper cables, and a small bag of sand or salt.
Ask your Toyota dealer to check the following:
• Have the proper ratio of ant ifreeze in the radiator.
Refer to Engine Coolant on P. 398.
• Inspect the battery and its cabl es. Cold reduces battery capacity.
• Use an engine oil appropriate for the lowest ambient temperatures that the vehicle w ill be driven in (P. 395).
• Inspect the ignition system for damage and loose connections.
• Use washer fluid made with antifreeze but do not use engine cool-
ant antifreeze for washer fluid ( P. 402).
●Do not use the parking brake in freezing weather as it may freeze. Instead,
shift to 1 or R with a manual transaxle and to P with an automa tic transaxle.
Block the rear wheels.
● Remove snow before driving. Snow left on the windshield is dang erous as it
could obstruct vision.
● Do not apply excessive force to a window scraper when removing ice or fro-
zen snow on the mirror glass and windshield.
● Never use warm or hot water for removing snow or ice from windo ws and
mirrors as it could result in the glass cracking.
● Drive slowly. Braking performance can be adversely affected if snow or ice
adheres to the brake components. If this situation occurs, drive the vehicle
slowly, releasing the accelerator pedal and lightly applying the brakes sev-
eral times until the brake performance returns to normal.

Maintenance and Care
• When cleaning the plastic lenses of the lights, do not use gasoline,
kerosene, rectified spirit, paint, thinner, highly acidic deter gents, or
strongly alkaline detergents. Ot herwise, these chemical agents can
discolor or damage the surfaces resulting in a significant loss in
functionality. If plastic parts become inadvertently exposed to any of
these chemical age nts, flush with water immediately.
• If plastic parts such as the bumpers become inadvertently exposed to chemical agents or fluids such as gasoline, oil, engine cool ant, or
battery fluid, it could cause di scoloration, staining, or paint peeling.
Wipe off any such chemical agents or fluids using a soft cloth imme-
diately.
• High water temperature and high water pressure car washers are available depending on the type of high pressure car washer
device. If the car washer nozzle is put too close to the vehicl e or
aimed at one area for an extended period of time, it could defo rm
plastic parts or damage the paint.
• Do not use wax containing compounds (polish). Otherwise, it co uld
result in paint damage.
• In addition, do not use an electrical or air tool to apply wax . Other-
wise, the frictional heat generat ed could result in deformation of
plastic parts o r paint damage.
NOTICE
●Do not use any detergent other than mild detergent. Before usin g any
detergent, verify the ingredients.
Otherwise, the product could discolor or stain the aluminum whe els.
● Do not use a wire brush or any abrasive cleaner, polishing comp ound, or
solvent on aluminum wheels. They may damage the coating.
● Always use a sponge or soft cloth to clean the wheels.
Rinse the wheels thoroughly with lukewarm or cold water. Also, be sure to
clean the wheels after driving on dusty or salted roads to help prevent cor-
rosion.
● Avoid washing your vehicle in an automatic car wash that uses h igh-speed
or hard brushes.

YARIS_YARIS HATCHBACK_OM_OM99V59z_(U)
■Power Steering Malfunction Indicator Light
●If the indicator light illuminates/flashes, the power steering will not operate
normally. If this happens, the steering wheel can still be operated, however,
the operation may feel heavy compared to normal, or the steering wheel
could vibrate when turning.
● Repeatedly jerking the steering wheel left and right while the vehicle is
stopped or moving extremely slowly will cause the power steerin g system to
go into protective mode which will make the steering feel heavy , but this
does not indicate a problem. If this occurs, park the vehicle safely and wait
several minutes for the system to return to normal.
WARNING
■ Do not drive with the brake system warning light illuminated. C ontact
your Toyota dealer to have the brakes inspected as soon as poss ible
Driving with the brake system warning light illuminated is dang erous. It indi-
cates that your brakes may not work at all or that they could c ompletely fail
at any time. If this light remains illuminated, after checking that the parking
brake is fully released, have the brakes inspected immediately.
In addition, the effectiveness of the braking may diminish so y ou may need
to depress the brake pedal more strongly than normal to stop th e vehicle.
■ Do not drive with both the ABS warning light and brake warning light
illuminated. Have the vehicle towed to your Toyota dealer to have the
brakes inspected as soon as possible
Driving when the brake system warning light and ABS warning lig ht are illu-
minated simultaneously is dangerous.
When both lights are illuminated, the rear wheels could lock mo re quickly in
an emergency stop than under normal circumstances.
NOTICE
■ Charging System Warning Light
Do not continue driving when the charging system warning light is illumi-
nated because the engine could stop unexpectedly.
■ Engine Oil Warning Light
● Do not run the engine if the oil pressure is low. Otherwise, it could result in
extensive engine damage.
● Do not run the engine if the oil level is low. Otherwise, it co uld result in
extensive engine damage.
■ High Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light
Do not drive the vehicle with the high engine coolant temperatu re warning
light illuminated. Otherwise, it could result in damage to the engine.
