How to Charge the Starter Battery of a Toyota Yaris Cross

Video tutorial

In this video, you will learn how to charge the starter battery of a Toyota Yaris Cross. Our YouTuber accidentally left the "ready" light on, causing the battery (let's continue to call it the "starter" battery) to drain.

However, surprise: open the front bonnet, and the battery as we know it is not there. There is a positive terminal coloured red, and for the negative terminal, any exposed bolt will do, or the small bolt inside the fuse box, where you will also find the positive terminal.

From here, you can charge the battery, ensuring to use a slow charge.

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.
