Start by sitting in the driver's seat of your Toyota Corolla. Look under the dashboard on the left side of the driver: there you will find a bonnet release lever.

Gently pull this lever. You may hear a small "click" when the mechanism releases.

Now, exit the vehicle and head to the front of the bonnet. You will find another secondary release lever, towards the centre of the vehicle.

Move this lever and lift the bonnet slightly to ensure it is fully released. Once sure, lift it completely and secure it with the bonnet prop, and you will have correctly opened the front bonnet of your Toyota Corolla.

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.
