Video tutorial

In this video, you will find some tips for optimally using the EV system to drive fully electric with your Toyota Yaris Cross: first, stay within the range of 15 to 45 km/h and with a range of about 5 miles. It is perfect for traffic situations and in the city, activated by a button near the gear lever.

It can only be engaged if the traction battery is sufficiently charged. When activated, a light will illuminate on the dashboard.

There are conflicting opinions on this functionality: some say that frequent use stresses the battery, but if the feature exists, why shouldn't it be used, as the YouTuber suggests?

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.
