It drove me crazy driving home from work one day. I kept seeing the light flicker while I was going around corners.

I dont think it takes a full jug unless you have the cold weather package anyway, not sure of capacity differences.

it will take a full 3.78L jug, it just have to be a little more empty than just the light on steady.

I believe the HB have a bigger tank because of the rear wiper..

I know on my LB, I'm pretty sure last winter I remember it taking like a jug and a half when it was completely empty. It's a thirsty little thing!

There's a light on the cold weather packaged yaris. I'd imagine your location the package isn't included. It seems Toyota has this wierd thing with selling versions of cars in certain locations that they don't sell in others. The LB S models are a rarity around here in Detroit, don't think I've ever even saw one. The dealer was telling me the S model is a region specific model.

We don't have it here in Australia and I have the top model Yaris YRX available.

Well.. you see, the US version all have a "maintenance" light, while the Candian version does not.

I was reffering to the low windshield washer fluid light. I believe that it's on the cold weather packaged Yaris but not on the non packaged ones.

The Canadian version just shows an engine symbol for maintenance doesn't it?

all Canadian yaris have the low washer fluid light. And no, no maintenance light at all.

perhaps it's the American versions then that don't have it. I'm not really positive or not if that's the case.
