I thought about doing that but I was scared if I put it in N and just roll it backwards.. I won't get it back up onto the driveway if it fails. LOL

Don't bother. An automatic cannot be bump started unless you're going almost 35mph.

Take the battery out and get a friend to drive you to an autoparts store. They typically offer free recharges to test it. If it's bad, you might try a Toyota dealership if it's still under warranty.

Speaking of push start, only done this with motocycle but not car. IIRC, since you park the car nose in, if your driveway is going down going out, you would put in *reverse*, press the clutch, release the brake to let it roll with a speed, then release the clutch suddenly to crank the engine for start. That said, you need to watch the traffic first and secondly there is a potential that your car will not be back up. You will need to push it to park at the road side.

Still no joy on finding the one with jump cable, eh?

I've been digging to find this yellow box my dad has that would jump start the car. I don't know what its called but it has the two clips and a switch to jump. Can't freaking find it though!

Yaris is stick. But we do have this little box that could jump start the car.

I had one of those once. But that one time I needed it, it was missing. D:
I thought your Yaris was an automatic? Strange. Well anyway, good luck finding that yellow box.

Just turn it to on and push start it yo! If you get it up to 10-15mph and dump the clutch then it def. will get going. Assuming you're getting spark.
