Nope. All 11th gen Corolla have this "Eco" green light which does nothing to the way the car operates but is there just to tell the driver he /she is driving in the most efficient way. The model with an eco mode, which dulls different functions like AC and acceleration has a second light marked...

That's your coolant recovery tank. Toyota's coolant is rated for 100 000 miles. No need to change it before that. If needed, you may add some. I would stick with Toyota's coolant (from the dealer) to be sure it as the appropriate characteristics (not all coolant are created equal. You don't...

As Rock'n Roller say, sound like a weak/dead battery. In modern cars, battery is constantly solicited by various electronic/alarm even when the car just sit. The longer it sits without any driving, the weaker the battery gets. If it's any consolation, I've seen quite a few around here with the...

If it's a Canadian model, they'll turn on on "D", no parking brake. If it's a US model, it's a position on the left light stick on the steering wheel but may also be off via the touchscreen car setup.

The problems with early Nissan-Jatco in NA was right in the more delicate spot for CVT: fluid temperature control. They did update the firmware but once a unit has operated for a certain period with ruined fluid, damage might affect longevity. So those are the ones going off at relatively low...

Though less common in NA vs the rest of the world, CVT have been around for about as long as regular automatics. The ones in the 11th gen Corolla (and some 12th gen variants) are 10 years old (7 years in NA) and build by Aisin-Toyota That says something, since neither Consumer Reports...

Yes, normally you have an off option in the menu. Much easier than dismantling the car. ;)

Those who solved the problem with a new SDccard didn't have a specific map problem but the whole unit freezing as you describe. As for the battery trick in the video, you have nothing to lose in trying it. There is just no way to warranty one or the other will work

There have been a few updates ( https://securedp.toyota.com/download-app/downloads ). But as far as I know, none addressed this issue in units with navigation, if that's your case. Some say it was resolved by installing an updated map SDcard ($) or by doing this:

Indeed ! Just making the point that contrary to some people believe, a CVT is not by principle unable of performance. That being said, the one in Corolla is clearly engineered for... Corolla use ! As I mentioned, the way modern transmissions are engineered, especially CVT, change one parameter...

Might be the door actuator. Some cases are seen on forums...

First, out with the myth that CVT are weak and fragile by nature. See video below. ;) That doesn’t mean that the K313 will handle anything as it is designed for medium duty by Toyota-Aisin and, like any CVT, operates within very specific parameters (even T-A engineers had to update their...

I haven't seen any Toyota documentation making a difference, whether for the "not recommended" in NA or weight spec elsewhere. I guess they go for the lowest possible, including the clutch capacity. Indeed, Toyota's for 2015, here or anywhere else are now gone but here is a list compiled by...

Any car might be for rental companies. Although with a MT, the odds are very low, if any! You may try Carfax for the history of the car.

Toyota North America "does not recommend" towing, whether manual or CVT. The reason might be legal rather then technical (in the past, Toyota used to mention that "warranty does not apply to towing damage"). Yet, in other countries, the exact same 11th gen with the exact same CVT is listed as...

80K for a 4-5 years old car is not ‘’a lot’’. Sorry you were unlucky with the inevitable odd unit, as those CVT have been on the road for close to 10 years worldwide, without a surge in complaints or statistics. Word spread fast otherwise (think of first generation units by Nissan-Jatco or...

120K (or 12 years) according to your maintenance guide. https://www.toyota.com/t3Portal/document/omms-s/T-MMS-15Corolla/pdf/2015_Toyota_Corolla_WMG.pdf

Feasible, with time (if you do it as a hobby) and/or money (if you have to rely on a mechanic). The parts are pretty straight forward: manual gearbox, set of pedals, flywheel, clutch and fork assemblies, gear linkage and shift stick (and modified dash console to accommodate it). The trickiest...

The short answer is no. Only rumors on forums by members reporting "but when I bought my salesperson (hum...) told me an update would come" :rolleyes:. Australia did get an update so yes, it's feasible, although it's also possible that head unit in other markets, beside the shape/integration...
