Engine Coolant
Inspect  the  antifreeze protection  and  coolant  level  in  the  cool ant  res-
ervoir  at  least  once  a  year—at  the  beginning  of  the  winter  seas on—
and before traveling where temperatures may drop below freezing .
Inspect  the  condition  and  connec tions  of  all  cooling  system  and
heater hoses.
Replace any that are sw ollen or deteriorated.
The coolant should be at full in the
radiator  and  between  the  F  and  L
marks  on  the  coolant  reservoir
when the engine is cool. Cooling fan
Cooling system cap
Coolant reservoir
If it is at or near L, add enough coolant to the coolant reserv oir to pro-
vide freezing and corrosion prote ction and to bring the level to F.
Securely tighten the coolant re servoir tank cap after adding co olant.
If the coolant reservoir is empty  or new coolant is required frequently,
consult your Toyota dealer.
Changing the coolant should be done by your Toyota dealer.

Maintenance and Care
WARNING
■Do  not  use  a  match  or  live  flame  in  the  engine  compartment.  DO NOT
ADD COOLANT WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT
A  hot  engine  is  dangerous.  If  the  engine  has  been  running,  part s  of  the
engine  compartment  can become very  hot. You could  be burned. Ca refully
inspect the engine coolant in the coolant reservoir, but do not open it.
■   Pull  over  to  a  safe  location,  then  switch  the  ignition  to  off  and
make  sure  the  fan  is  not  running  before  attempting  to  work  near  the
cooling fan
Working near the cooling fan when it is running is dangerous. T he fan could
continue running indefinitely even if the engine has stopped an d the engine
compartment temperature is high. You could be hit by the fan an d seriously
injured.
■  Do not remove either cooling system cap when the engine and
radiator are hot
When  the  engine  and  radiator  are  hot,  scalding  coolant  and  steam  may
shoot out under pressure and cause serious injury.

NOTICE
●Radiator coolant will damage paint. Rinse it off quickly if spi lled.
● Use only soft (deionized) water in the coolant mixture. Water t hat contains
minerals will cut down on the coolant’s effectiveness.
● Do not add only water. Always add a proper coolant mixture.
● The engine has aluminum parts and must be protected by an ethylene-gly-
col-based coolant to prevent corrosion and freezing.
● DO  NOT  USE  coolants  Containing Alcohol,  methanol,  Borate  or  Sil icate.
These coolants could damage the cooling system.
● DO NOT MIX alcohol or methanol with the coolant. This could dam age the
cooling system.
● Do not use a solution that contains more than 60% antifreeze.
This would reduce effectiveness.
●
Use of engine coolant specifical ly designed for the YARIS/YARIS  HATCHBACK
is required when replacing engine  coolant. Using engine coolant that is not spe-
cifically  designed  for  this veh icle  may  cause  serious  damage  to  the  engine and
cooling system. For questions on how to obtain this specially d esigned coolant,
contact your Toyota dealer.

Maintenance and Care
Body Lubrication
All  moving  points  of  the  body,  such  as  door  and  hood  hinges
and  locks,  should  be  lubricated  each  time  the  engine  oil  is
changed.  Use  a  nonfreezing  lubricant  on  locks  during  cold
weather.
Make  sure  the  hood’s  secondary  latch  keeps  the  hood  from
opening when the primary latch is released.

Key Batter y Replacement
If the buttons on the smart key are inoperable and the operation indi-
cator light does not flash, the battery may be dead.
Replace with a new ba ttery before the smart key becomes unusabl e.
The following conditions indicate that the battery power is low :
• The KEY indicator light (green) flashes in the combination met er for
about 30 seconds after the engine is switched OFF.
• The  system  does  not  operate  and  the  operation  indicator  light  on
the smart key does not flash  when the buttons are pressed.
• The system’s operational range is reduced.
Replacing  the  battery  at  your  Toyota  dealer  is  recommended  to  p re-
vent damage to the key. If replac ing the battery by yourself, follow the
instruction below.
■Replacing the key battery
Press  the  knob  and  pull  out

Fuses
■Replacing the fuses on the vehicle’s left side
If the electrical system does not work, first inspect the fuses on the
vehicle’s left side.Make sure the ignition is switch ed off, and other switches are off.
Open the fuse panel cover.
Pull the fuse straight out with
the  fuse  puller  provided  on
the  fuse  block  located  in  the
engine compartment.
Your vehicle’s electrical sys tem is protected by fuses.
If  any  lights,  accessories,  or  controls  do  not  work,  inspect  th e
appropriate circuit protector. If a fuse has blown, the inside  ele-
ment will be melted.
If  the  same  fuse  blows  again,  avoid  using  that  system  and  con-
sult your Toyota dealer  as soon as possible.
