How do you start a Toyota Yaris Hybrid?

My husband got a great deal on a used Toyota Yaris Hybrid and gave it to me for my birthday. But I have a major problem: I don’t know how to start it and I don’t want my husband to know that I can’t start it! How can I start my Toyota Yaris Hybrid?

That’s an amazing gift and a sweet gesture from your husband! Don’t worry; it’s easy to start your
Toyota Yaris Hybrid
; just follow these simple steps:
  • Have the key fob in your pocket or purse. You don’t need to take it out; it just has to be inside the vehicle when you start it.
  • Make sure the Yaris is in park.
  • Put your foot on the brake pedal.
  • You should see a key on the instrument cluster display that lets you know the car is ready to start.
  • Press the Start push-button once.
  • The Ready light on the instrument cluster should illuminate and you’re ready to go!
Keep in mind that the Yaris Hybrid may use battery power only when you start it, so you may not hear the engine. This is confusing, especially if you’re used to a gasoline-only vehicle.
If your car still doesn’t start, you may have a problem with your key fob. Most likely, the battery is low. Replace the battery in the key fob with a CR2032 battery, and you should be ready to roll.
Since you just got a new car, you’re also going to need the right insurance to get behind the wheel. But don’t overpay needlessly. Instead, download the
