2016 Toyota Yaris Owners Manual

●If the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does not turn on after installing a child-restraint system on the front passenger seat, first, re- install your child-restraint system according to the procedure in this owner’s manual. Then, if the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light still does not turn on, install the child-restraint system on the rear seat and con- sult your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

●If the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light turns on when an occupant is seated directly in the front passenger seat, have the passenger re-adjust their posture by sitting with their feet on the floor, and then re-fas- tening the seat belt. If the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light remains turned on, move the passenger to the rear seat. If sitting in the rear seat is not possible, slide the front passenger seat as far back as possible. Consult your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

WARNING

■Do not allow an occupant in the front passenger’s seat to sit with a posture which makes it difficult for the front passenger occupant clas- sification sensor to detect the occupant correctly Sitting in the front passenger’s seat with a posture which makes it difficult for the front passenger occupant classification sensor to detect the occu- pant correctly is dangerous. If the front passenger occupant classification sensor cannot detect the occupant sitting on the front passenger’s seat cor- rectly, the front passenger front and side air bags and pretensioner system may not operate (deploy) or they may operate (deploy) accidentally. The front passenger will not have the supplementary protection of the air bags or the accidental operation (deployment) of the air bags could result in serious injury or death. Under the following conditions, the front passenger occu- pant classification sensor cannot detect a passenger sitting on the front passenger’s seat correctly and the deployment/non-deployment of the air bags cannot be controlled as indicated in the front passenger air bag deac- tivation indicator light on/off condition chart. For example: ●A front passenger is seated as shown in the following figure:

●A rear passenger pushes up on the front passenger seat with their feet. ●Luggage or other items placed under the front passenger seat or between the front passenger seat and driver seat that push up the front passenger seat bottom.

●An object, such as a seat cushion, is put on the front passenger’s seat or

between the passenger’s back and the seatback.

WARNING

■Always take all children and pets with you or leave a responsible per-

son with them Leaving a child or a pet unattended in a parked vehicle is dangerous. In hot weather, temperatures inside a vehicle can become high enough to cause brain damage or even death.

■Do not leave the key in your vehicle with children and keep them in a

place where your children will not find or play with them Leaving children in a vehicle with the key is dangerous. This could result in someone being badly injured or even killed.

■Keep all doors locked when driving

Unlocked doors in a moving vehicle are dangerous. Passengers can fall out if a door is accidentally opened and can more easily be thrown out in an accident.

■Always close all the windows, lock the doors and take the key with you

when leaving your vehicle unattended Leaving your vehicle unlocked is dangerous as children could lock them- selves in a hot vehicle, which could result in death. Also, a vehicle left unlocked becomes an easy target for thieves and intruders.

■After closing the doors, always verify that they are securely closed

Doors not securely closed are dangerous, if the vehicle is driven with a door not securely closed, the door could open unexpectedly resulting in an acci- dent.

■Always confirm the safety around the vehicle before opening a door

Suddenly opening a door is dangerous. A passing vehicle or a pedestrian could be hit and cause an accident.

■When opening or closing a door

Always confirm the conditions around the vehicle before opening/closing the doors and use caution during strong winds or when parked on an incline. Not being aware of the conditions around the vehicle is dangerous because fingers could get caught in the door or a passing pedestrian could be hit, resulting in an unexpected accident or injury.

Trunk Lid

WARNING

■Never allow a person to ride in the trunk

Allowing a person to ride in the trunk is dangerous. The person in the trunk could be seriously injured or killed during sudden braking or a collision.

■Do not drive with the trunk lid open

Exhaust gas in the cabin of a vehicle is dangerous. An open trunk lid in a moving vehicle will cause exhaust gas to be drawn into the cabin. This gas contains CO (carbon monoxide), which is colorless, odorless, and highly poisonous, and it can cause loss of consciousness and death. Moreover, an open trunk lid could cause occupants to fall out in an accident.

■Do not stack or leave loaded luggage unsecured in the luggage com-

partment Otherwise, the luggage may move or collapse, resulting in injury or an acci- dent. In addition, do not load luggage higher than the seatbacks. It may affect the side or rear field of view.

■Using the trunk

●Before opening the trunk lid, remove any snow and ice accumulation on it. Otherwise, the trunk lid could close under the weight of the snow and ice resulting in injury.

●Be careful when opening/closing the trunk lid during strong winds. If a strong gust blows against the trunk lid, it could close suddenly resulting in injury.

●Fully open the trunk lid and make sure that it stays open. If the trunk lid is only opened partially, it could slam shut by vibration or wind gusts resulting in injury.

●When loading or unloading luggage in the trunk, turn off the engine. Other-

wise, you could get burned by the heat of the exhaust gas.

Inside Trunk Release Lever (if equipped) Your vehicle is equipped with an inside trunk release lever that pro- vides a means of escape for children and adults in the event they become locked inside the trunk. No matter how careful adults might be with keys and locking their cars, parents should be aware that children may be tempted to play around vehicles and use the trunk as a hiding place. Adults are advised to familiarize themselves with the operation and location of the inside trunk release lever so that all children can be told about it in an appropriate way, keeping in mind that most vehicles do not have such levers.

Slide the inside trunk release lever in the direction of the arrow. The lever is made of material that will glow for hours in the darkness of the trunk fol- lowing a brief exposure to ambi- ent light.

The inside trunk release lever is located on the inside of the trunk lid.

WARNING

■Close the trunk lid, be sure the seat backs are latched and do not allow

children to play inside the vehicle Leaving the trunk lid open or leaving children in the vehicle with the keys is dangerous. Children could open the trunk lid and climb inside resulting in possible injury or death from heat exposure.

■Always keep the car from being a tempting place to play by latching the rear seats, doors and the trunk, and keeping the keys where chil- dren can not play with them Leaving children or animals unattended in a parked vehicle is dangerous. Babies left sleeping and children who lock themselves in cars or trunks can die very quickly from heat prostration. Do not leave your children or pets alone in a car at any time. Do not leave the car, the rear folding seats or the trunk unlocked.

2-4. Fuel and Emission

Fuel and Engine Exhaust Precautions

Fuel Requirements Vehicles with catalytic converters or oxygen sensors must use ONLY UNLEADED FUEL, which will reduce exhaust emissions and keep spark plug fouling to a minimum. This vehicle will perform best with fuel listed in the table.

Fuel

Octane Rating* (Anti-knock index)

Regular unleaded

fuel

87 [(R

M)/2 method] or above (91 RON or above) * U.S. federal law requires that octane ratings be posted on gasoline station pumps.

Fuel with a rating lower than 87 octane (91 RON) could cause the emission control system to lose effectiveness. It could also cause engine knocking and serious engine damage. Gasoline blended with oxygenates such as alcohol or ether com- pounds are generally referred to as oxygenated fuels. The common gasoline blend that can be used with your vehicle is ethanol blended at no more than 10 %. Gasoline containing alcohol, such as ethanol or methanol, may be marketed under the name “Gasohol”. Vehicle damage and drivability problems resulting from the use of the following may not be covered by the warranty. ● Gasohol containing more than 10 % ethanol. ● Gasoline or gasohol containing methanol. ● Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.

NOTICE

●USE ONLY UNLEADED FUEL.

Leaded fuel is harmful to the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors and will lead to deterioration of the emission control system and or failures.

●This vehicle can only use oxygenated fuels containing no more than 10 % ethanol by volume. Damage to the vehicle may occur when ethanol exceeds this recommendation, or if the gasoline contains any methanol. Stop using gasohol of any kind if your vehicle engine is performing poorly. ●Never add fuel system additives, otherwise the emission control system

could be damaged. Consult your Toyota dealer for details.

2-4. Fuel and Emission

113

Emission Control System This vehicle is equipped with an emission control system (the catalytic converter is part of this system) that enables the vehicle to comply with existing exhaust emissions requirements.

●Under U.S. federal law, any modification to the original-equipment emission control system before the first sale and registration of a vehicle is subject to penalties. In some states, such modification made on a used vehicle is also subject to penalties.

●While the engine is off, the sound of a valve opening and closing can be heard at the rear of the vehicle, however this does not indicate an abnormal- ity. The vehicle has a selfchecking device and it operates while the engine is off.

WARNING

■Never park over or near anything flammable

Parking over or near anything flammable, such as dry grass, is dangerous. Even with the engine turned off, the exhaust system remains very hot after normal use and could ignite anything flammable. A resulting fire could cause serious injury or death.

NOTICE

Ignoring the following precautions could cause lead to accumulate on the catalyst inside the converter or cause the converter to get very hot. Either condition will damage the converter and cause poor performance. ●USE ONLY UNLEADED FUEL. ●Do not drive your Toyota with any sign of engine malfunction. ●Do not coast with the ignition switched off. ●Do not descend steep grades in gear with the ignition switched off. ●Do not operate the engine at high idle for more than 2 minutes. ●Do not tamper with the emission control system. All inspections and

adjustments must be made by a qualified technician.

●Do not push-start or pull-start your vehicle.

Engine Exhaust (Carbon monoxide)

WARNING

■Do not drive your vehicle if you smell exhaust gas inside the vehicle

Engine exhaust gas is dangerous. This gas contains carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless, odorless, and poisonous. When inhaled, it can cause loss of consciousness and death. If you smell exhaust gas inside the vehicle, keep all windows fully open and contact your Toyota dealer immedi- ately.

■Do not run the engine when inside an enclosed area

Running the engine inside an enclosed area, such as a garage, is danger- ous. Exhaust gas, which contains poisonous carbon monoxide, could easily enter the cabin. Loss of consciousness or even death could occur.

■Open the windows or adjust the heating or cooling system to draw

fresh air when idling the engine: Exhaust gas is dangerous. When the vehicle is stopped with the windows closed and the engine running for a long time even in an open area, exhaust gas, which contains poisonous carbon monoxide, could enter the cabin. Loss of consciousness or even death could occur.

■Clear snow from underneath and around your vehicle, particularly the

tail pipe, before starting the engine: Running the engine when a vehicle is stopped in deep snow is dangerous. The exhaust pipe could be blocked by the snow, allowing exhaust gas to enter the cabin. Because exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monox- ide, it could cause loss of consciousness or even death to occupants in the cabin.

Fuel-Filler Lid and Cap

WARNING

■When removing the fuel-filler cap, loosen the cap slightly and wait for

any hissing to stop, then remove it Fuel spray is dangerous. Fuel can burn skin and eyes and cause illness if ingested. Fuel spray is released when there is pressure in the fuel tank and the fuel-filler cap is removed too quickly.

■Before refueling, stop the engine, and always keep sparks and flames

away from the filler neck Fuel vapor is dangerous. It could be ignited by sparks or flames causing serious burns and injuries. Additionally, use of the incorrect fuel-filler cap or not using a fuel-filler cap may result in a fuel leak, which could result in serious burns or death in an accident.

■Do not continue refueling after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automat-

ically Continuing to add fuel after the fuel pump nozzle has shut off automatically is dangerous because overfilling the fuel tank may cause fuel overflow or leakage. Fuel overflow and leakage could damage the vehicle and if the fuel ignites it could cause a fire and explosion resulting in serious injury or death.

NOTICE

Always use only a genuine Toyota fuel-filler cap or an approved equivalent, available at your Toyota dealer. The wrong cap can result in a serious mal- function of the fuel and emission control systems. It may also cause the check engine light in the combination meter to illuminate.
