Where is the jack? - Toyota Yaris Forums

OgDogg · 01-10-2007, 05:56 PM

I know, I'm gonna catch hell for this post. But I had to use the jack from my other car to put my wheels on because I couldn't find the jack in the Yaris. Where the hell do they put the car jack on these things?

Second that motion.

Mind you I found out the "hard" way and read the owner's manual when I had a flat.

I learnt that the jack was under the seat just prob 2 weeks ago. Though i didnt have a flat tyre or anything, its just that i thaught toyota forgot to put the jack in the boot.......

so call me a dumbass

%$#@ the jack...the dealership won't give me my damn tow hook....

It should have been in the tool kit but All I got was the security wheel nut socket.

Personally i thing the jack is in a great location out of the way, not taking up any space.

spkrman · 01-13-2007, 10:24 AM

I actually found it after I took out the drivers seat.

I'd have to say, that was one of the most "WTF" moments I've had in a car. I honestly just assumed it was in the rear, never paid any attention to it.

DorytheYaris · 01-13-2007, 07:13 PM

I had a razorblade lodged in my tire 2 weeks after I bought my car (lucky me) and my boyfriend was changing my tire and he's like ok where the hell's the jack? And we read the manual and when we found out it was under the driver's seat we both were like wth is it doing here?! Very awkward. It's a good thing we weren't in a hellish emergency situation in the pouring rain on a highway cause that would've been annoying discovering that!

07WYarisRS · 01-14-2007, 11:51 AM

Just slide the seat all the way forward and you can easily remove the jack.
With most pick up trucks the jack is under a plastic thing-a-ma-bob behind the seat or in the extended can area and is just as hard to remove if not worse.

Those are some great stories. Mine is not.

I found mine 3 days after I bought the car when I vaccumed it out. Do any of you clean your cars? If so vaccume under the seat too.

YANGSTER · 01-24-2007, 10:55 PM

hmmmmm....i guess my story is a lil nerdy.
i found the jack when i was inspecting my car prior delivery.
Not a big surprise to me....meh, as long as it's there and i'm aware of its existance.

and for Go4th....i do clean my car, hand vacuum was the first addition to my ride. Cheers.

St_G · 01-24-2007, 11:05 PM

I found my jack the day after I bought the car. My father and I were opened up the rear storage area and were tkaing inventory of what was back there and noticed the conspicuous absence of a jack (though the jack handle IS under there), so I pulled out the manual, looked up the right page in the Table of Contents and was told that it was under the front seat. Not exciting at all, but I'm glad I found out then and not later, when I needed a jack.

That’s a very good point YANGSTER. The salesman is supposed to go over every thing!!!! So every one that filled out their survey lied!

Those salesmen should have shown us where the jack is at delivery time!

what means this vacuum? I don't get it.. (really though, I don't vacuum until spring... in the winter it's a waste of time)

I've had my hatchback car since 2008 and I still cant locate the jack handle. Anyone know where Toyota hid that and how you access it?

Did you ever have a vinyl pouch stored in the spare tire well bins? The handle is/was/should have been in there along with your factory tow hook.

IllusionX · 05-07-2015, 05:59 PM

The jack handle was attached to my trunk subfloor on my sedan. And was also on my echo hatchback.

I lost my vinyl pouch when I had a flat a long time ago. lol
