The rear seat of the Toyota HiLux cannot be reclined, but today you will learn how to do it with a simple 12 mm socket wrench. Open the rear doors and pull the strap located at the base of the seat to lift and remove it. Using the 12 mm socket wrench, remove the two bolts at the base of the backrest; once the bolts are removed, move the backrest forward.

This will create the necessary space in the trunk for transport. Finally, reinstall the backrest and secure it by tightening the bolts; then, reinstall the seat to complete the procedure.

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.
