Tip Start

[machine1]

I didn't know the Yaris had this feature, and I've had mine since October!

Tip Start - turn the ignition key to starting position and bump the starter only once, the engine will keep cranking until it starts.

I found this out this afternoon when I went to start my car, it takes a couple seconds longer when it's below 32degrees F outside. I let go of the key early and the starter kept going until it started. I was confused, because the cars that I work on have the same feature(tip start).

Well, I'm excited, none of the sales people or ads never mentioned this feature. It's necessary when you have a car with Keyless Go(M-B) or any other keyless starting system, which they DO offer for the Yaris in Japan(It's in the engine control module software on M-Bs), bastards.

Now I have to get used to this feature, and then tell all of my friends about it, lol.
