Add-On Non-Genuine Parts and Accesso-
ries
Non-genuine parts and accessories for Toyota vehicles can be found
in stores.
These may fit your vehicle, but they are not approved by Toyota for
use with Toyota vehicles. When y ou install non-genuine parts or
accessories, they could affect your vehicle’s performance or sa fety
systems; the Toyota warranty doesn’t cover this. Before you ins tall
any non-genuine parts or accessories, consult your Toyota deale r.
Toyota assumes no responsibility for death, injury, or expenses that
may result from the installation of add-on non-genuine parts or acces-
sories.
WARNING
■ Always consult your Toyota dealer before you install non-genuine
parts or accessories
Improperly designed parts or accessories could seriously affect your vehi-
cle’s performance or safety systems. This could cause you to have an acci-
dent or increase your chances of injuries in an accident.
■ Be very careful in ch oosing and installing add-on electrical eq uipment,
such as mobile telephones, two-w ay radios, stereo systems, and car
alarm systems
Incorrectly choosing or installing improper add-on equipment or choosing
an improper installer is dangerous. Essential systems could be damaged,
causing engine stalling, airbag (SRS) activation, ABS/TCS/DSC i nactiva-
tion, or a fire in the vehicle.

Cell Phones Warning
WARNING
■Please comply with the legal regulations concerning the use of com-
munication equipment in v ehicles in your country
Use of any electrical devices such as cell phones, computers, p ortable
radios, vehicle navigation or other devices by the driver while the vehicle is
moving is dangerous. Dialing a number on a cell phone while driving also
ties-up the driver’s hands. Use of these devices will cause the driver to be
distracted and could lead to a serious accident. If a passenger is unable to
use the device, pull off the right-of-way to a safe area before use.
If use of a cell phone is necessary despite this warning, use a hands-free
system to at least leave the hands free to drive the vehicle. N ever use a cell
phone or other electrical devices while the vehicle is moving a nd, instead,
concentrate on the full-time job of driving.

Customer Information and Reporting Safety Defects
Unifor m Tire Quality Grading System
(UTQGS)
This information relates to the tire grading system developed b y the
U.S. National Highway Traffic Saf ety Administration for grading tires
by tread wear, traction, and temperature performance.
The tread wear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate
of the tire when tested under con trolled conditions on a specified gov-
ernment test course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one-and-a-half times as
well on the government course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual condi tions
of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm
because of variations in driving habits, service practices and differ-
ences in road characteristics and climate.
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C.
These grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet paveme nt as
measured under controlled conditio ns on specified government test
surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor
traction performance.
Tread Wear
Traction-AA, A, B, C
WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (s traight
ahead) traction tests and does not include acceleration corneri ng (turn-
ing), hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.

520
YARIS_YARIS HATCHBACK_OM_OM99V59z_(U)
7-6. Uniform Tire Quality Grading System (UTQGS)
The temperature grades A (the highest), B, and C, represent the tire’s
resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipa te heat
when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor l abora-
tory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire t o
degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperatures can lead
to sudden tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger
vehicle tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of perform ance
on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum r equired by law.
These grades will be added to t he sidewalls of passenger vehicl e tires
over the next several years according to a schedule established by
the NHTSA and the tire manufacturers.
The grade of tires available as standard or optional equipment on Toy-
ota vehicles may vary with respect to grade.
ALL PASSENGER VEHICLE TIRES MUST CONFORM TO THESE
GRADES AND TO ALL OTHER FEDERAL TIRE-SAFETY REQUIRE-
MENTS.
Temperature-A, B, C
WARNING
■Keep your vehicle’s tires properl y inflated and not overloaded
Driving with improperly inflated or overloaded tires is dangero us. Exces-
sive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separa tely or in
combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure. The tem-
perature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly
inflated and not overloaded.
