The Fiat Panda Hybrid is equipped with the classic gasoline engine, which is supported during acceleration phases by an electric motor paired with it: this electric motor also helps reduce fuel consumption and emissions and will be recharged during deceleration phases, recovering energy produced through braking.

In addition to the classic 12 Volt battery, the Fiat Panda Hybrid also has another battery that stores energy for the operation of the electric motor.

The recharge function of the latter is activated every time the accelerator pedal is released with the gear engaged.

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
