No quick-start? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Jamus · 08-18-2012, 10:14 PM

I searched but might not have found the answer due to not knowing the right terms. My 07 yaris would start really easy, sometimes continue cranking after I released the key. So I got in the habit of doing a very short crank, since it would start anyway. Whenever I drove other vehicles I would usually forget and not crank long enough to start the vehicle. Well my 07 got totaled and now I have a new 2012 yaris which seems to not start as easy. Am I imagining things or has anyone else noticed this difference? Or is my car off in some way?

Well mine takes about 2seconds of cranking until it starts up fully. Once it even took me 15seconds of cranking....

My old car was the fastest starter car I had. Only had to twist and go. Twas a Mitsubishi Mirage.

I have never noticed any difference.

It's actually good for the engine to crank for one or two seconds as it allows the oil pump to pressurize and lubricate the bearing surfaces before the engine fires up.

It's called auto-start. Found it mentioned in this thread.

Now that I know what it's called, I wonder if it's possible to add easily to the MY12?
