If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode (the engine is
not running) for more than an hour with the shift lever in P, the engine
switch will automatically turn off. However, this function cannot entirely pre-
vent battery discharge. Do not leave the vehicle with the engine switch in
ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode for long periods of time when the
engine is not running.
Vehicles with a manual transmission
If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode (the engine is
not running) for more than an hour, the engine switch will automatically turn
off. However, this function cannot entirely prevent battery discharge. Do not
leave the vehicle with the engine switch in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON
mode for long periods of time when the engine is not running.

To drive in temporary gear steps selection mode, operate the “-” and
“+” paddle shift switch. The gear steps can then be selected by oper-
ating the “-” and “+” paddle shift switches. By selecting gear step
using paddle shift switches, you can control engine braking forces.
Upshifting
Downshifting
The gear step changes once
every time the paddle shift switch
is operated.
The selected gear step, from 1 to
7, will be displayed in the multi-
information display
*1: Vehicles with color display.
*2: Vehicles with monochrome display.
However, even when in the D position, the gear steps will be automat-
ically changed if the engine speed is too high, or too low.

The front sensor is located on the
upper side of the windshield. It
consists of 2 types of sensors,
each of which detects information
necessary to operate the drive
assist systems.
Laser sensors
Monocular camera sensor
Front sensor

WARNING
■ Front sensor The front sensor uses lasers to detect vehicles ahead of your vehicle. The
front sensor is classified as class 1M laser product according to the IEC
60825-1 standard. Under normal usage conditions, these lasers are not
harmful to the naked eye. However, it is necessary to observe the following
precautions.
Failure to do so may result in the loss of eyesight or severe visual impair-
ment.
● To avoid hazardous laser radiation exposure, never attempt to disassem-
ble the front sensor (e.g. remove the lenses). When disassembled, the
front sensor is classified as a class 3B laser product according to the IEC
60825-1 standard. Class 3B lasers are hazardous and pose a risk of eye
injury under direct exposure.

PCS (Pre-Crash Safety system)
◆Pre-crash warning
When the system determines
that the possibility of a frontal
collision is high, a buzzer will
sound, the PCS activation indi-
cator will flash
*1 or a warning
message will be displayed in
the multi-information display
*2,
and the system will urge the
driver to take evasive action.
*1: Vehicles with monochrome display.
*2: Vehicles with color display.
: If equipped
The pre-crash safety system uses the front sensor to detect
vehicles in front of your vehicle. When the system determines
that the possibility of a frontal collision with a vehicle is high, a
warning operates to urge the driver to take evasive action and
the potential brake pressure is increased to help the driver avoid
the collision. If the system determines that the possibility of a
frontal collision with a vehicle is extremely high, the brakes are
automatically applied to help avoid the collision or help reduce
the impact of the collision.
The pre-crash safety system can be disabled/enabled and the warn-
ing timing can be changed. (P. 294)

YARIS_F_OM_Europe_OM52A54E●High beam may be turned on or off when unexpected by the driver.
●In the situations below, the system may not be able to correctly detect the
surrounding brightness levels, and may flash or expose nearby pedestrians
to the high beam. Therefore, you should consider turning the high beams on
or off manually rather than relying on the Automatic High Beam system.
• In bad weather (rain, snow, fog, sandstorms, etc.)
• The windshield is obscured by fog, mist, ice, dirt, etc.
• The windshield is cracked or damaged.
• The front sensor is deformed or dirty.
• The front sensor temperature is extremely high.
• Surrounding brightness levels are equal to those of headlights, tail lights
or fog lights.
• Vehicles ahead have headlights or tail lights that are either switched off,
dirty, are changing color, or are not aimed properly.
• When driving through an area of intermittently changing brightness and
darkness.
• When frequently and repeatedly driving ascending/descending roads, or
roads with rough, bumpy or uneven surfaces (such as stone-paved
roads, gravel tracks, etc.).
• When frequently and repeatedly taking curves or driving on a winding
road.
• There is a highly reflective object ahead of the vehicle, such as a sign or
a mirror.
• The back of a vehicle ahead is highly reflective, such as a container on a
truck.
• The vehicle’s headlights are damaged or dirty.
• The vehicle is listing or titling, due to a flat tire, a trailer being towed, etc.
• The driver believes that the high beam may be causing problems or dis-
tress to other drivers or pedestrians nearby.
■If the Automatic High Beam indicator comes on in yellow (vehicles with
monochrome display)
It may indicate a malfunction in the system. Contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■If “Headlight system malfunction. Visit your dealer.” is displayed on the
multi-information display (vehicles with color display)
The system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected by any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

RSA (Road Sign Assist)
RSA recognizes specific road signs using the front sensor and pro-
vides information to the driver via the multi-information display.
If the system judges that the vehicle is being driven over the speed
limit, performing prohibited actions, etc., in relation to the recognized
road signs, it alerts the driver using a warning display and warning
buzzer*.
*: This setting needs to be customized.

YARIS_F_OM_Europe_OM52A54E
In the following situations, the RSA system alerts the driver using a
warning display.
●When the vehicle speed exceeds the speed warning threshold
applied to the speed limit of the sign displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display, the sign color becomes inverted.
●If it is detected that your vehicle is overtaking when a no overtaking
sign is displayed on the multi-information display, the sign flashes.
Depending on the situation, traffic environment (traffic direction,
speed, unit) may be detected incorrectly and a warning display may
not operate properly.
■Automatic turn-off of RSA sign display
One or more signs automatically turn off in the following situations.
●A new sign is not recognized for a certain distance.
●The road changes due to a left or right turn, etc.
Depending on the situation, the driving behavior (turning, lane change, etc.)
may be detected incorrectly and the automatic turn-off may not operate
properly.
