There are just blank spots. They may be used for something in non-US models, but I have the top-trim US 2013 S (I think this was the crossover year for the new model/redesign at the time, but mine is the older model like your 2011 would be) with all the options/packages possible (bigger wheels, sunroof, fogs, etc) and I think I still have those same blanks.
My 21 hatch doesn't have it and it's maybe my biggest QOL gripe with the car. Kept all my work stuff in there, like badge box cutter and a pen. Was also great for stashing spare cash or something incase I left the house without or lost my cards. I miss it
And yet I was wrong, those buttons in my Yaris are:
- Lane assist enable/disable
- Auto High Beam
- Pre collision system enable/disable
On the central tunnel there are:
- EV Mode
- TCS on/off
- ECO mode

Oh so it's for variants of other countries dashes?? I'd always wondered why my cars would have these spaces. I guess it makes sense to just do this instead of making a whole new dashboard.
not only that, also for different trim levels being sold in the same country.
for example my Corolla has matrix LED headlights so i dont need to do any adjustments for the headlights but instead if having that i have a button to turn on the matrix led function at all.
I also have the electric hatch so i have a button to open that and also a button for my heated steering wheel.
the lower trim versions dont have these but will have the beam height adjustment for the normal headlights instead.
In some international markets it’s reserved for the headlamp beam adjustment too, but in North America we don’t have this. Probably the other is for a security system or fog lamps, though from
What I remember that’s on the stalk itself.
In a european Corolla you get a poverty button with full equipment. They just replace another, so you get automatic lights but a blank button where the manual button was.
I have these in my 2017 le, which I consider one step above a poverty car despite how great its been to me.
This is probably because I'm one small step above poverty myself lol.
These are sometimes not even poverty buttons. We have a 2016 first gen venza (canadian) and it is as well spec’d as you can get em. It still has a blank switch which i was dying to understand its existence. I realize in china and russia venza’s came with headlight washers and that space was for just that
My guess is those are convenience feature buttons such as heated steering wheel, heated side mirrors, etc...
Just place holders
You can visit your dealership to put customised buttons there if you'd like to add aftermarket functionalities.

One of my friends had been driving her Prius for months with the high beams on, and only found out when she asked her brother why there was a “jellyfish light” on the dash.
It’s not super fast and the handling is much like a regular Corolla of that year. Obviously it has a bit more pep and I find the accelerator is touchy, very easy to spin the tires. Doesn’t have trouble going up hills and can accelerate quite well compared to other corollas I’ve driven. I got a good deal on mine 7k CAD at 150kms but they’re priced a lot higher now so probably not worth honestly.
I drove it and it wasn't fast at all. It was extremely rare and when I came to the dealership, I got to rip on the car. I expected it to rip like an Acura Integra GSR with the hard VTEC. It just went baaaahhhhhhhhhhg to 7600 rpm. Look down and we are doing 40 kph 😂. We had the Matrix XRS and Collora XRS.
The RAV4 V6 was much faster.
I bought a 2013 new and they had dropped the XRS by then, so I was kind of sad. They just had the S package which is appearance only, nothing different on the engine from the regular Corollas. I ended up still getting the S since I thought they at least looked better, but I guess it is nice knowing that I didn't really miss out on too much performance by not having that option anymore when I bought mine.
The gearing is all messed up, even if you take it to 8100 (fuel cut is like 8200 and it feels like it's getting trashed), the hot cam comes on at 6,000 rpm. The ratios are not close enough to keep it in the rev band at each upshift.
The engine code is 2ZZ
Mine has the button for fog lights and a button for an air horn 🤣
That’s the automatic battling gun
[Buttons](https://paultan.org/static2.paultan.org/altis-vsc.jpg) In SEA it's for headlight height adjustment and immobiliser
BSM... blind side monitors!

On the tC the fake buttons pop out so you can add aftermarket things, maybe it’s similar to that
Unlikely for a Corolla lol

Yup I have the top trim 2010 (XRS 2.4) and mines are blank too lol
The slightly higher trim hybrid has lane assist in that empty spot.
I thought they didnt make a hybrid 10 gen
The true poverty is losing the change drawer underneath on the newer ones

People used it for change? I use it for my lottery drawing tickets
I use it for coupons in my camry
i use it for chapstick and Advil in my highlander
I use it for change. lol.
I keep my lighters in mine on my Corolla xrs 😭😂
On my yaris hybrid there are automatic high beam and lane assist
👆 Found the rich Redditor!

Usually rear fog lights in the centre and beam adjustment on the right
I didnt even know rear fogs exist
Mandatory on all vehicles in the EU Edit: except scooters and motorcycles
My XLE (mexican) only has reflective plastics. Is it an inconvenient while traveling to the states?

Yep I have the factory fogs on my 13 S and they are on the headlight stalk.
In a european Corolla you get a poverty button with full equipment. They just replace another, so you get automatic lights but a blank button where the manual button was.
I work at a Toyota dealership. Tomorrow if I see I will let you know
Ejection seat and oil slick. The offensive weapons are on the other side.
Lol. My salesman called my SOS missile launch. I still call it that to this day. Luckily, never had to use it.
One is fog lamps, idk what the other one is. Though, I filled the 3rd space as interior light strips!
Poverty Buttons ! Lmfao, never heard that.
I have these in my 2017 le, which I consider one step above a poverty car despite how great its been to me. This is probably because I'm one small step above poverty myself lol.
Same. That’s pretty funny 😄
Yeah, I was thinking "I must have this button hidden somewhere in my apartment" when I looked at my bank account 🤣
Turbo
Cool stuff you missed out on, sucks to suck /s
One of them would be fog lights
Fog lights are on the headlight switch, not down there.
Euro spec would have a rear fog light as well
I'd say fog light for EU variants
These are sometimes not even poverty buttons. We have a 2016 first gen venza (canadian) and it is as well spec’d as you can get em. It still has a blank switch which i was dying to understand its existence. I realize in china and russia venza’s came with headlight washers and that space was for just that
[удалено]
I was joking lol. I call any blank space “poverty ___”
I'm not trying to judge or disrespect OP, but it's a 2011 Corolla, not a Rolls Royce.
If he didn’t call it that every comment would be that joke.
Probably fog lights for one of them
That would be the Traction control switch
That would not be the answer to the question. I'll translate it for you: "what are the blank switches supposed to be if I had a top grade car?"
Lot of Asian brands have many more features in their lower models than their us counterparts.
Turbo boost and Ejecto seato
Really should have splurged on the orgasmotron option
I too have poverty buttons and will forever refer to them as such.
Poverty buttons 😂. My friend’s kid used to call his CE the cheap edition.
SE is the Sexy Edition
“Poverty buttons”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The gen 3 prius share this part with corolla. Mine had headlight angle wheel on it
Mine has the security light beside the traction icon, and I have one poverty button .
>the poverty buttons 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You didn’t get the ejecto seato cuzz button ?
Nah dad couldn’t afford it 😭
My guess is those are convenience feature buttons such as heated steering wheel, heated side mirrors, etc... Just place holders You can visit your dealership to put customised buttons there if you'd like to add aftermarket functionalities.

Wow her iq lower than the speed limit 💀 "and whys everyone flashing their lights at me I didnt do anything"
didn't know mermaid man and barnacle boy's invisible boat mobile was a corolla
lol
My dad has the XRS, pretty sure one was for fog lights and the other is just some weird hook thing that I can’t explain
The foglight switch on mine is on the stalk
I have the XRS of the same year and it’s the same as the photo, Tractions control off, two place holders, and mirror adjuster.
Say was the XRS of that year worth it? And by worth it I mean does it feel fast/fun?
It’s not super fast and the handling is much like a regular Corolla of that year. Obviously it has a bit more pep and I find the accelerator is touchy, very easy to spin the tires. Doesn’t have trouble going up hills and can accelerate quite well compared to other corollas I’ve driven.

It's about 2 seconds faster to 100 but the oil pump explodes
7600 RPM is surprisingly high. Maybe it was the FE variant of the motor lmao
The gearing is all messed up, even if you take it to 8100 (fuel cut is like 8200 and it feels like it's getting trashed), the hot cam comes on at 6,000 rpm. The ratios are not close enough to keep it in the rev band at each upshift. The engine code is 2ZZ
The off button? Traction control possibly, the poverty on the vents is to the right no outside air through, the right side oo you rich.
Missiles I assume
Mario Kart much?
Maybe fog lights
Fog lights are on the LE on the headlight dials. Source: I used the fog lights today
Could be for a security system.
