Yours does not appear to work correctly and it is possible that nebulight's vehicle may not be working properly, either, but to claim that you don't have DFCO is inaccurate. Have you discussed this with your dealership yet, or even performed the test I listed in the DFCO thread?

Additionally, what you said about not shutting off the ignition at stop lights is wildly inaccurate. Modern Japanese vehicles - especially Toyotas - are highly reliable and efficient. It takes just 7 seconds of the engine being off to equal the fuel used during starting back up and the wear-and-tear on the starter and other systems during turnover. Any time you can keep the engine off for more than 7 seconds you are not only saving fuel but also the wear-and-tear of your engine being in use.

If you only try to use DFCO and/or coasting on hills at least 1 mile long you will miss out on dozens of smaller opportunities to save some fuel every day.

in my experiences, turning on off the engine causes my gas gauge to lower quicker. also, aren't there at least several members here where DFCO doesn't work for them as well? and like i said, i've tried a few of those things you mentioned to test out DFCO, i just haven't tried turning off the engine while driving.

no i have not discussed this with my dealership. i'm trying not to mention any problems, as small as this, with them because i have modified my Yaris, and don't want them to say that my warranty is voided. but i can go to a different Toyota dealer, i guess. but yeah, i'm tired of dealing with problems about my car, so i'm good off of asking a dealership.

just for confirmation, can you provide me the info saying that all Yarii have DFCO?
