If you want to personalise your vehicle or refresh the interior, you can replace the gear knob and, if desired, the gaiter as well. First, sit in the driver's seat and obtain a small flathead screwdriver to lever off the plastic cover that shows the gear positions and the half-profile plastic that makes up the knob itself.

If you cannot detach it all at once, you can use a craft knife to assist. If you wish, you can also remove the gaiter covering the gear lever.

Then, take the new knob and press it into the gear lever housing.

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.
