Video tutorial

Let's see how to replace the remote battery on a Toyota Yaris Cross: extract the emergency key by pulling out the key blade. Now a small gap has formed on one side of the remote; insert the flat key tip into the gap and lever it by turning the key: the remote will open in two halves.

Inside, you will see the battery to be replaced, a CR2450, which can be easily found at any supermarket or electronics store. Remove the old battery using a thin screwdriver, insert the new battery paying attention to the polarity, and close the two halves of the remote.

Insert the key back into its housing and the job is done.

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.
