My New Toy😄

[152bobby]

Well, I spotted the Toyota Yaris Cross Premiere Edition that has all the bits I wanted, so drove from Wokingham to Pontypridd early this morning and bought it and drove it home 😄  So it was farewell to my Aygo X Exclusive.

Credit to the previous owner, it's pristine and looks like it's never been used and it even has the stickers still on the shocks etc 👍

So I will be reading the owners manual to get to know it, but one thing's popped up early which I noticed on the way home.  All the windows do full auto down and up, but not the drivers, not sure if that's a setting or a fault !!.

I'm sure more questions will follow through time 😄

Looks great, enjoy your new car 🚙

Nice wheels!

[Chas G]

That looks very nice. Is it pearlescent white?

[flash22]

auto windows can all be set with techstream, not sure if the old method works still - wind the window down all the way, hold the switch for 10 sec's - all the way up, and hold the switch up for 10 seconds

Perfect, the old way worked, I can score that off my list 👍

It doesn't look like the Solid White, so must be pearlescent white.. white was on my shortlist, so either would have been fine.

The sales rep had a proper Welsh accent and I must admit sometimes I couldn't understand him and on top of that, I'm from Glasgow, so we had a laugh about both of us saying pardon a few times and trying to speak "clearer"😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

It states in the owners manual that I should be able to open and close all windows using the remote by long pressing the Unlock (open windows) Lock (close windows) buttons.

Mine doesn't work, is this a dealer option to activate ?

[Mojo1010]

Yes it's a dealer option to activate windows on remote or app like carista.

Sorry, I didn't spot that.  Next time it goes for a service I'll get them to enable it 👍, no doubt there will be a charge !

[Cyker]

Unless they are exceptionally tight they will do it free during service if you request it as part of it - Even my Jemca dealer did, and if they did everyone probably would!  

It's pretty much a 5 second job on Techstream to do it if they know where the setting is.

My dealer sorted mine out for for free at the last service.

I thought I'd share this in case if it's of any use to people in certain circumstances.

I had a Aygo X until I swapped to the Yaris Cross.

The remote lock unlock was a handy option on the Aygo X (it only had Immobiliser and no alarm), but it's not available on the Yaris Cross because it has an alarm (see photo of message I got on my phone when I tried it).

But, there is a however.  I locked my car the following way.  I got out of the car and did not use the remote or the touching handle option.  I locked the car by pressing the door lock button on the driver's door whilst holding the door handle out and closed the door.  So the car was locked, but not sure if the alarm set or not.  I then used the MyT app to remotely unlock the door and it worked. So when I went to the car and unlocked it with either the remote or by touching the door handle and got in the car and proceeded to start the car by pushing the push start button, a message showed on the dash to hold my key fob over the push start button and whilst pressing the brake pedal and the car started.

So there is a work around, not sure if I'll use it, but just thought I'd share it.

I think if you lock the car with the physical key instead of the remote fob it also shouldn't arm the alarm

I'll try that 👍

[Dezzer21]

I use the physical key when I leave the car on my drive in ready mode the alarm doesn’t activate.

I need to read up on the "Ready Mode" mentioned a lot on the forum, but haven't a clue about it 🥺

[Cyker]

"Ready Mode" is just hybrid/EV-speak for "On"

i.e. brake pedal+start button

Where can I find this information, I'd like to see if there are more options that I may prefer to have turned on before I pop into the dealer. ?  I expect they do this by plugging their software into the cars OBD port ?

Thanks

I had said facility of unlocking my Lexus  including opening windows & sunroof but never used it. Summers here were never hot & Forests in the Sloth of France were full of Vine Bees.

I used "all windows open" function on my Lexus RX300 in summer a lot.  As I approached my car I would open all windows to let the heat escape. I hate that feeling you get when getting into a car on a bright sunny day.  A bit like getting into an oven 😂
