I remember when i busted my mom's van in to R at 60 mph. It just stalled out, as I popped it back into N. I popped it back into D, and it started up again.

So technically, D works too. LOL.

In most AT cars, it can only be started when the transmission is disengaged, ie the car won't start surging forward the moment you start the engine. As I never owned an AT Yaris I'm not in the best position to say if N would start the car, perhaps it would because the transmission is still disengaged.

When an MT Yaris requires the clutch to be depressed to the floor to engage the starter motor, I would be surprised that you could start an AT Yaris in gear, or even neutral for that matter.

I guess I'll say one more time that we can start our Yaris in N like I did in post 12. I'm sure we don't have some sort of mutant Yaris and that other AT owners can do the same.

You're probably right and I don't doubt you on that, I'm just saying that I'd be surprised.
