Video tutorial

Do you want to lift the car on the ramp and don’t know how to position the arms? This video will show you. To lift the car on the ramp, first position it centrally between the two columns of the ramp. Now, for the arms.

Extend the front arms and position them behind the respective wheels. There is a sort of rail where the teeth of the rubber pads of the ramp fit. Be careful to place both arms at the same point to avoid unpleasant issues.

Now move to the rear arms. Like the front arms, they should also be placed on their respective rails, but in front of the rear wheels.

Again, be careful with how you position the arms; otherwise, the support will lose stability.

Location of the Jack and Spare Wheel of the Toyota Yaris

In the unfortunate event that one of the wheels of the Toyota Yaris is punctured, it is useful to know the location of the lifting jack, the spare wheel, the tool to operate the jack, and to unscrew the wheel bolts. The jack is located under the driver's seat, secured to a bracket and protected by a plastic cover, which you can remove by acting on the fixing clips. The spare wheel is located under the floor panel of the boot, secured to the floor by a threaded plastic flange, alongside which you will find the tool, consisting of a bent bar, which is used to operate the jack on one side and to remove the wheel on the other.
