Know where the key checks are
The labelled image below shows the main components you should be able to identify safely.
What each part does and how to check it
Brake fluid reservoir
Location: Usually towards the rear of the engine bay near the driver-side bulkhead.
How to check: Look at the side of the reservoir and make sure the fluid is between the MIN and MAX marks.
Engine oil dipstick and filler cap
Location: Find the dipstick handle and the oil filler cap on top of the engine.
How to check: Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it fully, then remove it again and check the level is between MIN and MAX.
Top-up: Use the correct oil grade listed in the owner’s handbook and avoid overfilling.
Screen wash reservoir
Location: Usually marked with a windscreen-washer symbol and often fitted with a coloured cap.
How to check: Open the cap and visually check whether the reservoir needs topping up.
Tip: Use a proper screen wash mixture, especially during winter.
Engine coolant tanks
Location: The Toyota Yaris Hybrid has two coolant tanks. One serves the petrol engine and the other serves the hybrid system.
How to check: Only check coolant when the engine is cold. The level should sit between the MIN and MAX marks.
Why this matters for your test
During the driving test, the examiner may ask you a Tell Me question before you drive or a Show Me question while driving. Knowing the Toyota Yaris Hybrid engine bay layout helps you answer calmly and safely.
