Sorry guys, I'll post some directions with pics to make it a bit clearer, I'm awful at describing things! This is for the hatchback/Liftback with the digital speedo only, as far as I am aware!

1- Turn your car on to either 'on' or 'start'.
2- Turn on your headlights.
3- Press the same little button that you press to flick through your trip meter.

4- Flick through 'Trip A' and 'Trip B' til it shows up lines like this.

5- Hold down the button and it will flick through the different levels of brightness.

I hope this helps, excuse the blurry photos!

Someone with a sedan or a hatchback with an analogue speedo could confirm whether this is the same in their cars?

Cheers!

I guess no one noticed this poster was from austrailia? lol bella Hi, apparently you guys in austrailia have a different gauge cluster then the states cars...that's what was creating the confusion

drbilal · 11-03-2008, 01:50 PM

even though ur gauge is diff, I get what your saying and think i remember this option coming up after trip a and b but not knowing what it was for.

Ill test it out and report back.

You can have the dealership turn off that annoying beep when you dont buckle your seat belt.

People used to hack off their catalytic convertor and ream out the hole so the leaded nozzle would fit.

Who else remembers this?

Oh! Leaded fuel! Those were the days! hahaha

There's a coin rack inside the driver's side glove compartment.

There are a total of 5 cupholders and 2 small bottle holders in the car.

If you're with a friend and your Yaris breaks down, you and him could just pick it up and carry it to the repair shop.

The side mirrors fold in for parking on narrow streets...

This is a European trait, some cars over there have buttons inside the car that will fold the mirrors in. Ours are manual, but it is still easy to do.

Sodium Duck · 11-11-2008, 08:28 AM

The mirrors also fold foward as well.

falkor_99 · 11-11-2008, 02:33 PM

on the back seats there is a little side pocket on the 60% fold down =0 pretty sweet

Sodium Duck · 11-11-2008, 02:39 PM

The pocket is supposed to hold that seat belt retractor plastic thing on a bungee cord thing for kids.

falkor_99 · 11-11-2008, 03:14 PM

or business cards =P

Sodium Duck · 11-11-2008, 03:20 PM

hahaha

or a taco.

barebonedvitz · 11-13-2008, 04:03 AM

the brace underneath the rear seats in the LB act as a.. well... center brace... so there's no real need to buy that under-chassis brace at all...

figured this out when i took off my seats..

This only applies to dealers with more than 2 functioning brain cells.

So, in other words, none of them...

here is a shocker for everyone that owns a hatch!!!

the hatch weights 14 lbs. more than the sedan, and its due to the extra security for it won't collapse when flipping over

... in the U.S.

drbilal · 11-13-2008, 05:24 PM

Yes, I know we should all wear our seatbelts, and I do (95% of the time), but can someone tell me if the buckle has some sensor in it or can I get a buckle from the junk yard to plug in and stop the sound? If there is a sensor, how can I remove the buckle from the belt?
