To open the bonnet of a Toyota Corolla, start by getting inside the vehicle. On the left side, under the dashboard, locate the bonnet release lever marked with an icon of an open bonnet.

Pull the lever, and you will hear the bonnet pop slightly upwards. Move to the front of the car, place your hand under the front edge of the bonnet, find the central safety catch located in the centre or slightly to the left, and move it sideways or upwards depending on the model.

Then, lift the bonnet and, if necessary, secure it with the support rod.

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.
