Toyota Yaris handbrake does not work when cruise control is on

Might try using the brake instead!

And nothing personal here, but is this your first car? You shouldn't be using your handbrake for anything other than keeping the car in place when its parked or in an emergency when your hydraulic brakes have failed. It is not meant to normally slow or stop the car, and excessive use can make it inoperable if you ever really do need it in an emergency!

And I don't think it is abnormal for the handbrake to not disengage the cruise control. I will try it in my Jeep just to confirm that it is the same way.

And I don't have a clue as to what you are talking about here. What's a food brake? Do you mean the brake pedal you depress with your foot? If so, are you trying to say that you've injured your foot and cannot push it down far enough to stop the car? If so, then you really shouldn't be driving in that impaired physical condition...
