Not sure if it's a secret, but if it happens to someone else, maybe my experience will help. Don't keep too much junk and plastic bags in your glove box. I had a bag get sucked into the cabin filter area and it made me think the AC ductwork came loose. I also had a hose come off the vent selection knob come off about the same time. Maybe the blockage caused it to pop off.

Have they started French production earlier than expected? (Just Kidding)

I'm down 45 cents there, but a credit card down the back of the passenger seat (later recovered; where it went was a mystery for the longest time)...

Word. At LEAST I paid cash for mine and not a bunch in interest; that's SOME consolation!

Now, now... Note the little symbol forbidding us to put cups in the driver and passenger side door indentations; the symbol insists that's for "bottles" only!

This thread is no fun; where's a "Hatin' on the Yaris" thread???

Ditto. Pay interest = never.

my tip, and i'm sure you all know this one: put your warm bottle of water or drink in the holder next to the steering wheel and put the air con on cool and angle the vents at the bottle and voila! ice cold drinks again!!

Hah! I have been doing that for a while! Quite amazing how cold a bottle of water will get!

My Secret: You can buy a Yaris with your gas money from a Nissan Xterra!

turns out if you leave a door open enough to turn the dome light on it goes out after a while. at least your battery wont go dead

Deceleration Fuel Cut Off. (I speak of my knowledge of my 2008 RS 5dr liftback automatic).

When the gear selector is in D, and you are coasting for more than 3 seconds above 1250 rpm, the ECU stops sending voltage to the fuel injectors, which means no fuel is going in to the engine, and no fuel is being consumed. If you are over 1250 rpms, and move the selector to 3, 2 or L, it's instantaneous - there is no 3 second wait.

nothing like going down those big hills for free!

Base L, no power windows:

If you have a bottle of water, in the door holder, any basic store brand size. You will bust your knuckles on the bottle cap rolling down the window.

Change that falls out of your pocket while seated ends up under the jack.... Liftback...
