The fuel filter is integrated into the low-pressure pump, which is submerged inside the fuel tank: to replace this filter, you must first remove the pump, which consists of two parts. Lift and remove the rear seat cushion to access the pump location, then unscrew the protective cap flanges.

Next, unscrew the retaining rings and extract the two components of the pump. One of them has a metal filter that just needs cleaning; in the other, cut the metal clamp to separate the two parts of the bucket and then extract the filter.

Once the new filter is applied, use a new clamp to secure it.

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.
