YARIS SECRETS

[TheRealEnth]

woah was going to ask the same question and u just answered it sorta... i still cant make my rear seats move, is this a diff trim? or ???

Myabe it's only the 60/40 seat people that can do it. Or you're simply not pushing the seat ALL THE WAY foward, as far as it will possibly go, or it will not work. (all the way!!!) hahaha

I DON'T have the 60/40 seats and my rear seats do not move. In Canada, if you bought the RS version, then you would have them. I kinda wish I did, it looks like a handy thing to have!

Yeah, that's actually an advertised feature of the 60/40 - It folds all the way flat, whereby the bench and 50/50 don't.

I don't think my rear seats slide at all but I have the plastic flaps that come out to cover the rear just like yours. :(

[Sodium Duck]

Ouch... sorry non-folding seat people! lol

Everything on this car pops off. The only place I have found screws so far is a couple holding on the bottom of the front bumper. The top has pop caps, as well as the entire interior.

If you remove your lower glovebox (just pop it out too), you can check and see if your car has an A/C filter installed. If not, you might want to go buy one from your local auto parts store -- or make one.

The change holder in the driverside glovebox holds exactly $5.50 in quarters. LoL

Some people don't know we have a tow hook. It's underneath the rear cargo deck in the LB, with your lug nut wrench. On the passenger side front of the bumper, you pop off the round cap and screw it in.

maybe not a secret, but when I am driving in the morning my main road is 35mph. I stay between 35 and 40 and the car stays at a higher rpm without shifting and the car warms up pretty quick. I have an automatic which might explain it.

In the hatchback, the rear center passenger seatbelt buckle can lock into the roof when you're not using it to stop it blocking/distracting your view through the rear vision mirror.

You can adjust the brightness of your dash lights in the hatchback with the head lights on. You just have to flick the same button you do to check your km, then the final one (if you hold it down) will flick through the different levels of brightness.

I knew about this one .. But found out the hard way (by getting bogged in the carpark at our airport) that you have to have a very small tow hook to use it! The conventional hook most people would use for a 4wd etc is too big.

Cheers!

The Yaris doesn't have a little flippy door thing covering the opening of the gas tube. A while ago someone was really bothered by it, but I guess it's lower in the tube, near the tank.

I always wondered what those flippy things were.

To show my age, when I was in high school, I worked in a gas station PUMPING GAS FOR CUSTOMERS. I remember when these bizzarre vehicles started coming out using unleaded fuel with those little flippy doors and narrow holes. 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

Instead of hitting the power button to turn your stereo on, you can just hit the function (ie. CD, FM/AM, Auxillary) and it will turn on to that.
