It often happens that when passing another vehicle, the external wing mirrors come into contact, causing the mirror to break. This replacement can be purchased from the aftermarket, but ensure that the mirror has a heating system.

Disconnect the mirror's support plate by simply pulling it forward and disconnect the connector for the heating element. Attach the metal tab to the new mirror, bring it close to its housing to connect the connector, align the tabs with the corresponding support, and press it until it clicks into place.

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.
