Video tutorial

In this video, we can see how to enable or disable the DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) function, which is equivalent to the function known as ESP or ESC in other vehicles. We will need to use the button panel located in the center of the central console, below the air conditioning controls.

Here we find a switch, the second from the left, labeled "DSC" that we will need to push down to enable and up to disable this function. We will see the corresponding indicator light briefly turn on when we enable it. It will also turn on when it activates due to poor road conditions, helping us in driving.

It will turn on on dry and perfect road conditions if the component is faulty.

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.
