Having a spare wheel to replace the tyre (in this case, not just 'punctured' but with a significant cut that the repair kit couldn't fix) is a luxury these days. Watch as the YouTuber replaces it in a few steps: loosen the nuts with the car on the ground, lift the car at the correct point, remove the wheel, and fit the spare wheel.

Then lower the car and tighten the nuts securely, tightening them in a criss-cross pattern to ensure they are properly secured. Check the pressure and remember that with the spare wheel, you should not exceed 50 mph and can only travel up to 124 miles: just enough time to exit the motorway and reach a tyre shop.

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.
