To replace the rear headlight bulb of the 2015 Citroën C5, we need to open the trunk of the car and remove the side carpet, in order to access the inside of the headlight. Disconnect the headlight connector and unscrew the screw.

Remove the headlight and proceed with the replacement of the STOP bulb. Open the overhead light and replace the bulb.

Proceed in the same way for the replacement of the right rear headlight bulb. Once the replacement is complete, insert the headlight, connect the connector, and close the side carpet.

If the bulb does not work properly before replacing it again, proceed with checking the fuse related to the headlight.

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
