2019 Toyota Yaris Owner’s Manual

The 2019 Toyota Yaris was a small car that was good on gas, had a lot of useful features, and was fun to drive. It came as a sedan or a hatchback and had a 1.5-liter engine that was both fuel-efficient and quick, making it a great mix between power and fuel economy. The 2019 Yaris was great for city driving because it was small and easy to control. It also had a comfortable cabin and technology that was easy to use. It kept up Toyota’s reputation for reliability and was a good choice for people who wanted a small car that was cheap and good on gas.

Keys

1. Smart key
2. Auxiliary key
3. Key code number plate

To use the auxiliary key, press the knob and pull out the auxiliary key from the smart key. A code number is stamped on the plate attached to the key set; detach this plate and store it in a safe place (not in the vehicle) for use if you need to make a replacement key (auxiliary key). Also, write down the code number and keep it in a separate safe and convenient place, but not in the vehicle. If your key (auxiliary key) is lost, consult your Toyota dealer and have your code number ready.

• The driver must carry the key to ensure the system functions properly.
• Always keep a spare key in case one is lost. If a key is lost, consult your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

WARNING: Do not leave the key in your vehicle with children and keep them in a place where your children will not find or play with them. Leaving children in a vehicle with the key is dangerous. This could result in someone being badly injured or even killed. Children may find these keys to be an interesting toy to play with and could cause the power windows or other controls to operate, or even make the vehicle move.

Keyless Entry System
This system uses the key buttons to remotely lock and unlock the doors and open the trunk lid. The system can start the engine without having to take the key out of your purse or pocket.

It can also help you signal for attention. Operating the theft deterrent system is also possible on theft deterrent system-equipped vehicles. Press the buttons slowly and carefully. System malfunctions or warnings are indicated by the following warning lights or beeps.

If you have a problem with the key, consult your Toyota dealer. If your key is lost or stolen, consult your Toyota dealer as soon as possible for a replacement and to make the lost or stolen key inoperative.

• The keyless entry system operation may vary due to local conditions.
• The keyless entry system is fully operational (door lock/unlock) when the ignition is switched off. The system does not operate if the ignition is switched to any position other than off.
• If the key does not operate when pressing a button or the operational range becomes too small, the battery may be dead.
• Battery life is about one year. Replace the battery with a new one if the KEY indicator light (green) flashes in the combination meter.
