Looks like I still have a few habits I need to break on the new car.

The Yaris is a push-button start engine. No need to turn a key in the ignition. However, I'm still used to turning the key in the ignition when stopping the car and have found myself grasping at nothing under the steering wheel when stopping the car.

I had a tendency to push my manual car into neutral when stationary. I'm still doing that in this car. pushing the gear from D to N.

The car has LDA (Lane Departure Assist) and RSA (Road Sign Assist). RSA detects and recognises speed limit signs. The car then also alerts you if you go beyond the speed limit by 1, 2 or 5 mph. I configured it for 5 mph over. So if the speed limit is 30mph, it will alert you when you hit or go above 35mph. However, the audio alerts were annoying when you have to accelerate to overtake other vehicles. So I turned off the audio alert, but left the visual alerts on.

LDA was useful, but when you're driving locally and you have idiots parking on the road, such that you have to cross the centre road line to go around them, the LDA will detect that and alert you. So I turned that off.

Finally, the collision detection alarm triggered on me this morning. As I was driving towards the shops another car cut in on my lane, and the alarm fired. The entire info display turned red, the beeper beeped me insistently, with the word "BRAKE!" flashing in red and black. I was already on the way to hitting the brake and had just turned out of a junction, so I wasn't even going that fast. But at least I know that part of the system works properly.
