Turning on the defroster problem...
When I turn the dial all the way to the defrost setting, the side vents (the driver's main vent and the passenger's main vent) blow too.
Is this normal for anyone else? Shouldn't it only blow through the vents from the windows? Thanks |

The 2nd gen Yaris (2006-2011)doesn't have this, so the outer vents pull double duty, doing defogging or A/C when selected with the A/C controls. It appears that the 3rd gen (2012-)is the same... Just turn them towards your windows in the winter and you're good to go!

yes it is normal, and the 2012 does have the vents for the side windows. you just cant see them in that picture. here you can just barely see it just left and up from the weird useless cellphone out the window ejecting pocket. :)

I know that mine (2010) doesn't have those little vents for clearing the windows, so the side ones work on defrost. Figured that the new ones were the same, so now it makes a little less sense to have those side ones come on when the A/C is set to defrost... And, is that what that odd little cubby is supposed to be? A cellphone pocket? Always looked like they forgot to add a vent there (since it's almost identical to the ones on the right side...)

So why did Toyota do this? It confused the crap out of me lol.
I also had to go to the dealer because of the recirculation button because it would not turn on, but that was because it was in the defrost position. I felt like a goofball lol |

I also just noticed in Scubaru Steve photo that you guys with the 2012s have intermittent rear wipers. Jerks. I wish us old Yaris guys got 'em.

lol, the one thing i wish this had was adjustable intermittent for the front. the single wiper is really cool, but the sprayer nozzle could be a little more powerful!
