Toyota Yaris: Manual Transaxle Operation / Manual Transaxle Shift Pattern
The shift pattern of the transaxle
is conventional, as shown.
Depress the clutch pedal all the
way down while shifting; then
release it slowly.

Your vehicle is equipped with a
device to prevent shifting to R
(reverse) by mistake. Push the
shift lever downward and shift to
R.

If shifting to R is difficult, shift back into neutral, release the clutch
pedal, and
try again.
WARNING
Do not use sudden engine braking on slippery road surfaces or at
high
speeds
Shifting down while driving on wet, snowy, or frozen roads, or while
driving
at high speeds causes sudden engine braking, which is dangerous. The
sudden change in tire speed could cause the tires to skid. This could lead to
loss of vehicle control and an accident.
Always leave the shift lever in 1 or R position and set the parking
brake
when leaving the vehicle unattended
Otherwise the vehicle could move and cause an accident.
NOTICE
- Keep your foot off the clutch pedal except when shifting gears.
Also, do
not use the clutch to hold the vehicle on an upgrade. Riding the clutch will
cause needless clutch wear and damage.
- Do not apply any excessive lateral force to the shift lever when
changing
from 5th to 4th gear. This could lead to the accidental selection of 2nd
gear, which could result in damage to the transaxle.
- Make sure the vehicle comes to a complete stop before shifting to
R. Shifting to R while the vehicle is still moving may damage the transaxle.
The gear shift indicator supports you to obtain optimum fuel economy
and smooth driving. It displays the selected gear position in the combination
meter as well as notifies the driver to change to the most suitable gear
position corresponding to the actual driving condition...

The hazard warning lights should always be used when you stop
on or near a roadway in an emergency.
The hazard warning lights warn
other drivers that your vehicle is a
traffic hazard and that they must
take extreme caution when near
it.
