The 3-door has two cupholders (one on each side) where the doors are on a 5-door, so the total (7) is the same.

Now, now... Note the little symbol forbidding us to put cups in the driver and passenger side door indentations; the symbol insists that's for "bottles" only!

Vitz 2005 Auto 1.3L Jap import doesn't have any indicator. With headlights ON, if you keep the button pressed when the odo showing total kms light just dims and then brightens, only two modes.

Where in Japan is the Yaris produced?

Up through 2010,
all Yaris/Vitz hatchbacks were produced at Takaoka plant and the Nagakusa plant of Toyota industries, while the Yaris/Belta sedans were produced at Iwate plant of Kanto Auto Works, a Toyota affiliate.
SOURCE:http://www.supplierbusiness.com/uplo...ota_sample.pdf

Starting January 2011,
all Yari meant for export to US and Europe began to be produced at the new Ohira plant in Miyagi Prefecture (source:http://www.houseofjapan.com/auto-mot...t-export-batch).

**The Miyagi plant is currently not at 100% production capacity because of the earthquake (source:http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/...ab3bae869dbc73).

^The high-beam bulb IS the low-beam bulb. It's a dual filament H4 (9003) bulb. . . I can't see the Prius using the same bulb if it has dedicated high-beams (especially if it has HID low-beams).

Well it does. I noticed it when looking in the Sylvania bulb book at Kragen yesterday. HID is a different story.

edit: They both take the 9003

My Yaris 2009 is Awesome! · 04-13-2012, 08:04 AM

Hi everybody.

I'm new on the group but I expect to be actively posting, because I love my Yaris. You can call me "My Yaris 2009 is Awesome" because since 2009, my car rules the road !!

About this thread: I'd like to discuss, how thanks to its size The Yaris fits everywhere, or how thanks to its size The Yaris it's an uncrashable car.

But today's is not the case.

No people...

Today I'd like to talk to you about something more important related to that "evil" third wiper on back window.

Hell Yeah !!,
Every Yaris/Prius owner has to deal with them.

My story begins a few months ago, when I had to change my 3 wipers manually: Piece of cake !! -I thought -

Everything gone as usual until I tried to lift the back wiper to change it. And as everybody here knows, it doesn't matter how hard I try, the wiper just rise up a little bit.

Then after months looking at my 2009 Hatchback Yaris, I found the problem.

As I'm from Mexico, it looks like I can't find the right words to explain my discovery but hey !!, an image says more than a thousand words ¿right?. So, click on this link to find the answer:

We'll meet again and thanks for reading me.

See ya !!

Actually it now occurs to me (looking at that video) that as easy as it was to remove the part you moded, I think you could leave it unmoded and simply remove it whenever you need to change your wiper blade...

Huh! After three years, this is the first time I saw this. Gotta go snip-snip this weekend.

I wonder why Toyota did that...

I'd also never seen it before. I've even read posts from other members complaining about that shortcut (I think it is irritating as well and will also snip-snip). The only reason I can think of for manufacturing it that way is to perhaps help hold the blade dowb during shipping?

Nigel8600 · 11-14-2013, 03:57 PM

Its for when you go through car washes your rear blade doesent get ripped off by the machinery.

Ahh, makes sense. I wash my Yaris either in my driveway, or (more often recently) at do-it-yourself stall car wahes (each stall has its own drain, one overhead hose ends in a 'gun' that gives you 10-12 rinse/soap/etc. options for your dollar, another overhead hose ending in a brush, side walls shared with adjacent stalls, one roof over all the stalls, and a different set of stalls for vacuuming), so removing the 'tab' wouldn't effect me. Good to know though

. Also shows that 'the tab' isn't something dealers neglected to remove during delivery.

if you turn the key twice to lock or unlock your car it also unlocks or locks ur trunk :o

spocksleftball · 04-18-2012, 01:03 PM

There is an interdementional vortex located under the driver seat on the hatchback into which all things dropped with the right hand fall. It is located in a slit in the carpet just in front of the jack. You have to remove the jack and hunt by feel to attempt to retrieve anything there. But once there it is probably gone.

All the time or when cruise control is on?

Don't all the new Toyotas do this?

Just about everything does this as its for emission requirements in the US.

Where did you find that?

Do not stick lighters in the ac vents on top of the radio
they do explode

no matter how much shit people talk about the yaris its still best fun for the price in my eyes

if you dont have a rear sway bar your missing out

for long term movement of certian items a quick screwdriver to the side door panel handle pops of and allows for long term secrete stash that can easily be gotten to if need be in case of quick consumption {put alittle change in it so it makes alittle noise and covers up missing screw

back rear seat was easier to take out than i thought

change your battery every 2 half years if you drive alot
you cant imagine how much power you get back from a new battery.

front cup holders can be stuck closed with quarterz
dont let your friends know.

all in all the yaris is a fun little car and can say im thankful for it but wish i coulda had it in rear wheel drive.
