Toyota Yaris: If a Warning Light Turns On or Flashes / Stop Vehicle in Safe Place Immediately

If any of the following warning lights turns on, the system may have a malfunction. Stop the vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact your Toyota dealer.

Power Steering Malfunction Indicator Light

• If the indicator light illuminates/flashes, the power steering will not operate normally. If this happens, the steering wheel can still be operated, however, the operation may feel heavy compared to normal, or the steering wheel could vibrate when turning.
• Repeatedly jerking the steering wheel left and right while the vehicle is stopped or moving extremely slowly will cause the power steering system to go into protective mode which will make the steering feel heavy, but this does not indicate a problem. If this occurs, park the vehicle safely and wait several minutes for the system to return to normal.

WARNING

Do not drive with the brake system warning light illuminated. Contact your Toyota dealer to have the brakes inspected as soon as possible

Driving with the brake system warning light illuminated is dangerous. It indicates that your brakes may not work at all or that they could completely fail at any time. If this light remains illuminated, after checking that the parking brake is fully released, have the brakes inspected immediately.

In addition, the effectiveness of the braking may diminish so you may need to depress the brake pedal more strongly than normal to stop the vehicle.

Do not drive with both the ABS warning light and brake warning light illuminated. Have the vehicle towed to your Toyota dealer to have the brakes inspected as soon as possible

Driving when the brake system warning light and ABS warning light are illuminated simultaneously is dangerous.

When both lights are illuminated, the rear wheels could lock more quickly in an emergency stop than under normal circumstances.

NOTICE

Charging System Warning Light

Do not continue driving when the charging system warning light is illuminated because the engine could stop unexpectedly.

Engine Oil Warning Light

• Do not run the engine if the oil level is low. Otherwise, it could result in extensive engine damage.

High Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light

Do not drive the vehicle with the high engine coolant temperature warning light illuminated. Otherwise, it could result in damage to the engine.
