Replacing the external wing mirror glass is very simple as it is only clipped onto the support through tabs; therefore, detach the broken mirror, disconnect the wires of the demisting system, and remove it completely; then align the new mirror, connect the wires of the demisting system (they do not have a predefined position as they power a resistor) and clip it onto the support, ensuring nothing is damaged and the tabs fit perfectly into their respective slots.

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.
