Toyota Yaris: Driving Tips / Driving on Uneven Road
Your vehicle’s suspension and underbody can be damaged if
driven on rough/uneven roads or over speed bumps at excessive speeds. Use care
and reduce speed when traveling on
rough/uneven roads or over speed bumps.
Use care not to damage the vehicle’s underbody, bumpers or muffler(s) when
driving under the following conditions:
- Ascending or descending a slope with a sharp transition angle
- Ascending or descending a driveway or trailer ramp with a sharp
transition angle

Other information:
The Traction Control System (TCS) enhances traction and safety
by controlling engine torque and braking. When the TCS detects
driving wheel slippage, it lowers engine torque and operates the
brakes to prevent loss of traction.
This means that on a slick surface, the engine adjusts automatically to
provide optimum power to the drive wheels, limiting
wheel spin and loss of traction...
