I use "Hold" a lot. It just seems to make more sense to me. Of course, you can simply turn it off when you need to inch forward into a parking space, for example.
It was only an experiment to see if it worked in reverse as I’d never tried it Yes it’s a very useful function when in busy traffic It’s not a function I use much as I’m living in a rural area where a traffic jam is sheep on the road
You can use it at traffic lights, on hills, in heavy traffic on the motorway or dual carriageway Just experiment with it to find where it works best for you
It’s a system that’s totally integrated into the hybrid system, you can think of as a hill start assistant but the system does a lot more than that, it’s basically a system that allows you to leave the car in drive and when you stop it’s automatically activated the parking brake with no need to arm the hard brake manually As soon as you touch the throttle it releases the brakes and off you go till the next time you stop and the system goes through it process again
in normal operation the parking brake will only automatically applied when the car is placed into park , it,s a way of bypassing having to stop you continually putting into park when in stop start traffic or waiting at a junction
The Yaris hybrid is the best of the super mini class fitted with a hybrid system Break downs none existent Fuel consumption varies from driver to driver and the terrain being driven The 16 inch wheel variety drives the smoothest 17 inch wheel variant slightly harder but not harsher
Hu paul, could you please help me with my infotainment system fault as my sat nav icon has disappeared on the screen for some reason, and i can't get it back. My gr sport yaris is only 4 months old. Thanks
It’s very terrain dependent, if you’re commuting in a town or city and it’s relatively flat you’ll get a decent chance of doing a decent amount of your journey, I know I can get from where I live to a town called Abergele about 3.5 miles on pure ev except 1 hill climb out of llandulas , but I don’t arm the ev button I do the trip by modulating my inputs on the throttle pedal in the normal hybrid mode and it’s capable of 60mph in ev driving Hopefully this helps Hybrids are not about pure ev only distance it’s the way they combine the ev and the internal combustion engine to produce the amazing economy they are capable of Thanks for taking the time to watch the videos
@@paul_nwsxs thanks for the info, I’m thinking of dropping my kid to school which is like 700m away so it would be nice to be able to do that without having the fire up the engine. Mainly thing to avoid wear and tear for the short trip.
That's most helpful, thank you. 😊 We get our Yaris Cross on Monday so looking forward to tying this out!
Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you Sir! I’ve always wondered about this feature and never truly understood how to use it
Happy to help!
Thank you!
You're welcome!

Brilliant!
Is using “hold” the setting to use when you’re stuck in traffic on the dual carriage way?
You can use it at traffic lights, on hills, in heavy traffic on the motorway or dual carriageway
Just experiment with it to find where it works best for you
@@paul_nwsxs thanks Paul! Watching your vids until my yaris arrives!
many thanks
Hello, sorry if this is a silly question, but why have a hold function if you have a hand brake ?
It’s a system that’s totally integrated into the hybrid system, you can think of as a hill start assistant but the system does a lot more than that, it’s basically a system that allows you to leave the car in drive and when you stop it’s automatically activated the parking brake with no need to arm the hard brake manually
As soon as you touch the throttle it releases the brakes and off you go till the next time you stop and the system goes through it process again
@@paul_nwsxs thanks for the replies, but if the handbrake is automatic why would you need to use the hold ?
in normal operation the parking brake will only automatically applied when the car is placed into park , it,s a way of bypassing having to stop you continually putting into park when in stop start traffic or waiting at a junction
Thanks, that makes total sense.
Hi, I'm interested in an honest opinion about the Toyota Yaris Hybrid, if there are any breakdowns. What is the fuel consumption smooth ride.
The Yaris hybrid is the best of the super mini class fitted with a hybrid system
Break downs none existent
Fuel consumption varies from driver to driver and the terrain being driven
The 16 inch wheel variety drives the smoothest
17 inch wheel variant slightly harder but not harsher

Quick question, do you have the city pack or is your Yaris the one with updated screen and dashboard?.
I have city pack.
What gear to use when going uphill on a yaris hybrid
Put the car in d and just drive up the hill it’s an automatic transmission
@@paul_nwsxs thanks. I was just wondering. For downhill roads, they advised using B mode. Most Dsg have modes for uphill gradients.
👍
Do you know how far the car will go in EV mode? I notice you have that button.
It’s very terrain dependent, if you’re commuting in a town or city and it’s relatively flat you’ll get a decent chance of doing a decent amount of your journey, I know I can get from where I live to a town called Abergele about 3.5 miles on pure ev except 1 hill climb out of llandulas , but I don’t arm the ev button I do the trip by modulating my inputs on the throttle pedal in the normal hybrid mode and it’s capable of 60mph in ev driving
Hopefully this helps
Hybrids are not about pure ev only distance it’s the way they combine the ev and the internal combustion engine to produce the amazing economy they are capable of

Interesting how it doesn't work in reverse. A useful function otherwise.
I suppose that’s how Toyota designed it
