Reactivation Of The Trc System Linked To Vehicle Speed; Reduced Effectiveness Of The Eps System; If The Slip Indicator Comes On - Toyota YARIS Manual

2-4. Using other driving systems

Reactivation of the TRC system linked to vehicle speed


When only the TRC system is turned off, the TRC system will turn on when
vehicle speed increases. However, when both TRC and VSC systems are
turned off, the systems will not turn on even when vehicle speed increases.

Reduced effectiveness of the EPS system


The effectiveness of the EPS system is reduced to prevent the system from
overheating when there is frequent steering input over an extended period of
time. The steering wheel may feel heavy as a result. Should this occur,
refrain from excessive steering input or stop the vehicle and turn the engine
off. The EPS system should return to normal within 10 minutes.


If the slip indicator comes on...

It may indicate a malfunction in the driving assist systems. Contact any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional.
CAUTION
 The ABS does not operate effectively when
 Tires with inadequate gripping ability are used (such as excessively worn
tires on a snow covered road).
 The vehicle hydroplanes while driving at high speed on wet or slick roads.
 Stopping distance when the ABS is operating may exceed that of nor-
mal conditions
The ABS is not designed to shorten the vehicle's stopping distance. Always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you in the following situ-
ations:
 When driving on dirt, gravel or snow-covered roads
 When driving with tire chains
 When driving over bumps in the road
