Yaris Hybrid 2018 Quick Guide
To start the car, check the shift lever is in P for Parking; press your right foot firmly on the brake pedal; press
and release the POWER button. A green READY light should show on the display.
Shift lever: You must have your foot on the brake in order to shift modes. Shift to D for Drive, then take your
foot of the brake and press the accelerator to move off. Always put shift lever back into P when you park the
car. Also shift to P if you are stuck in a queue for a long time. B mode (engine Braking) should only be used
when driving down long and steep hills. (See page 68 in the User Guide.)
The Yaris usually starts on the electric motor, and will automatically change to the petrol motor when the
electric motor has used its charge. The battery is re-charged through braking etc. (p. 32) To drive in ECO
mode to save fuel: push in the button on the left of the drivers seat, just behind the shift lever. This maximises
the regeneration of the hybrid battery. (p. 68)
Petrol refill flap is on left side. To open, pull the lever on the floor at the right of the driver’s seat. Switch
engine off before refuelling. Use unleaded petrol.
To open the bonnet, pull the lever low down beside the front end of driver's door.
Tyre pressures: front: 33 PSI = 2.3 bars; back: 32 PSI = 2.2 bars. (p. 157)
Flat tyre: if you have a puncture, there is a spare tyre in the boot - see instructions on p. 132 of User Guide.
Child safety: There is a switch on the rear edge of each back door, which you will see if you open the door,
and can be used to make it “child safe” - i.e. when switch is down a child cannot open the door. (p. 56)

Child seats: please read page 18 of User Guide. Switching off airbag: find the switch that is revealed when
you open the front passenger door – just around the edge from the air vent. Then press the release button on
the side of key, pull out manual key and use it to turn this switch. The airbag switch status is shown just to the
right of the radio.
Heating system: Press AUTO, then use the dial on the right to regulate to the desired temperature. If you
want a different temperature for driver & passenger seats, press DUAL and then use left hand dial for
passenger seat temperature. Use the arrow buttons to increase or decrease the power of the fans. (p. 102)
There is an air intake vent at the left of the rear seat, near the floor. Please do not cover this up, as that would
cause the hybrid battery to overheat. (p. 34)
To use cruise control, press the end of the short lever on the right of the steering wheel. When you reach
desired speed, pull lever down (SET). It will cancel whenever you brake or push lever up (CANCEL). (p. 89)
There are 3 buttons under the POWER button to switch the following features on or off:
•pre-crash warning: sensors will trigger a warning sound and then apply the brakes if they detect a
dangerous situation (p.77)
•automatic headlight dipping: sensors will dip the headlights if they detect a car in front (p. 84)
•lane departure alert: sensors will trigger a buzzer if you cross white lines at over 32 mph (p. 84)
To adjust the steering wheel: pull the lever under the steering wheel down, move it vertically or horizontally
to a comfortable position, then pull the lever back up. (p. 62)
When being towed: the front wheels must be raised off the ground, as they are connected to the electric
motor. (p. 122) If stuck in mud, disable Traction Control by pressing the button below the handbrake. (p. 90)
