The cabin heater radiator is located just behind the centre tunnel and uses the heat from the engine's coolant to warm the cabin. It is essentially a mini radiator with two pipes, one for inlet and the other for outlet through which the coolant circulates.

It may happen that one of the hoses can become damaged, and to replace it, first disconnect the hose clip at the end connected to the thermostat valve, then disconnect the one connected to the radiator. To release this end, rotate the locking mechanism to free the clip.

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.
