Seat cushion for thigh, center armrest left armrest - Toyota Yaris Forums

I have the same problem with other brands of economy vehicles. Having the seat back too far puts extra stress on both arms and legs. With the Yaris having a electric gas pedal, keeping speed is harder than with older mechicanal gas pedals. But you should keep your chest a foot away from the air bag. Too close to the air bag when it deploys and the air bag can crush your chest.

This idea is only possible in a vehicle with a automatic. There is another choice that just might be possible. Years ago I had foot surgery. I needed to drive with my left foot for a month. I have the cup holders, and the bottom of the center dash, removed in my Gremlin. Then I had a plate made to cover the exposed transmission cables. I was able to place my right foot in the center of the car.

But the dash in the Yaris looks like it is one piece. The knobs in the center of the dash of the Yaris are lower than the controls were in the Gremlin. Check the Yaris repair manuals to see if the dash can be disassembled into pieces. If the center console is one piece of plastic, cutting away the extra plastic, requires someone with experence. Other wise it will look bad.
