Toyota Yaris - Video tutorial

Model: Toyota Yaris MK 4 - Years 2020-2024
Part: Instrument cluster
Operation: How to activate "Maintenance mode" on a Toyota Hybrid.

In this video, we see how to activate the "maintenance" mode on the Toyota Yaris hybrid, which disables the electric motor and keeps only the internal combustion engine running. This is used for emissions testing during inspections or for checking the internal combustion engine. It is not used for normal driving because it disables the hybrid system. Start the car and put it in "ready" mode. The engine should not be completely cold, and the air conditioning should be turned off, with the gearshift in "P" (park). Let the S1 phase complete, turn off the display, and then press the "power" button twice while fully depressing the accelerator pedal. Press the brake and shift into "N" (neutral). Now, press the accelerator pedal fully twice and press the brake again, returning to "P" (park). Repeat the process of fully depressing the accelerator pedal twice. At this point, the "Maintenance mode" message will appear on the display, and all the warning lights will illuminate. Press the brake and then the power button. Now, the vehicle will only operate with the internal combustion engine. If you turn it off, it will reset and return to the hybrid system.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
