Adjusting the throttle cable on the Hyundai i10 is a quick task that mainly applies to the first generation (model PA, produced from 2007 to 2013). Later generations use an electronic system (Drive-by-Wire) that does not have a physical cable and cannot be adjusted manually.

Locate the throttle body under the bonnet: it is at the end of the black plastic duct that comes from the air filter.

Nearby, you will see the steel cable ending on a metallic semicircle, which is the throttle pulley. Loosen the locking nuts and adjust the tension by turning the nut to move the cable sheath away from the bracket.

Do not tighten it fully. There should always be a small amount of play (about 1-3 mm of flex when pressing the cable with your finger).

If it is too tight, the throttle will remain slightly open, causing the car to idle high. While holding the adjustment nut, tighten the outer lock nut against the bracket to secure everything.

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.
