YARIS SECRETS

[Sodium Duck]

...I like secrets...

I'm sorry to say Mike, but you deffinetely carbon dated yourself there, lol. I have no idea what you're talking about.

I believe the Sedan has a rubber protection lining around the gas filling area when you open the gas door latch. The LB model doesn't have one, it's just bare metal all around the filler tube.

Hi everyone, long time listener, first time caller.

If you unlock your car with the remote key, but take more than 25 seconds to get to it and open the door, the car will automatically lock itself again.

The window roll down without the car on trick only works for 30 seconds after the car has been turned off and before either door is opened... wait too long or open a door then you can't roll the power windows down :)

The linear Dot-It lights work great in the glove box(es) (the latter if you have a hatchback)...



...since Toyota didn't for some reason think we'd need lights in our glovebox(es)!

These swivel, so they work great in directing the light away from your eyes at night. And if you're lucky, you'll find one with the velcro sticky circles with it; otherwise you may need foam double-sided tape!

BTW, WalMart has these for $6.85 or something like that!

Cheers! M2

If you to have a bunch of stuff in the glove compartments, they tend to shuffle during intense cornering.

That's why I put no-skid padding down in all the storage spaces. It's cheap at Walmart, and I even put it in the area in front of the instrument cluster. To cut it, I used a bucket which was curved the same, and used an exacto knife to cut it. The hardest one was the little storage space in front of the shifter, again I used a smaller bucket that was curved about the same. It took some trial and error, but it fits pretty well!

Cheers! M2

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.

This doesn't make any sense to me, maybe what you describe is exclusive to Aussie models?

[TheRealEnth]

Yeah on my yaris i just adjust the little scrolling thing near the "wallet or change compartment.. (i use it for change?).

[drbilal]

How can I increase the dash brightness in a sedan? The previous posts on this are a bit confusing.

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 have the same indicator (weird bars graph thingy) on my trip meter as well, but I have a Thai model hatch with an analog optitron (white) with tach. Gonna try this as soon as I get off work! I always wondered what those stupid bars are. . . and the (English translated) manual states nothing of it.

Ohhhhhh! I was flicking through my trip/OBD meter the other day and saw thoes funny dash looking lines and was wandering wtf that was

Not sure if it's a secret, but if it happens to someone else, maybe my experience will help. Don't keep too much junk and plastic bags in your glove box. I had a bag get sucked into the cabin filter area and it made me think the AC ductwork came loose. I also had a hose come off the vent selection knob come off about the same time. Maybe the blockage caused it to pop off.

Have they started French production earlier than expected? (Just Kidding)

[Shroomster]

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]

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.
