Toyota Verso Mk1 (AR20) 2009-2018

The Toyota Verso (AR20) ran from 2009 to 2018 with a mild facelift in 2013. These owner guides cover the DIY jobs it responds to without a diagnostic tool: clearing the oil-service reminder, disconnecting the 12 V battery safely, resetting the tyre-pressure warning, rebooting a frozen Toyota Touch screen and locating the OBD-II socket. Every step is shown on a real Verso, photographed by us.
