To top up the coolant in a Fiat 500, open the bonnet and locate the transparent coolant reservoir, usually positioned near the radiator. Check the level against the min and max marks on the reservoir.

If the level is below the minimum, slowly open the reservoir cap to avoid steam or residual pressure escaping. Pour the appropriate coolant until it reaches the maximum level indicated.

Replace the cap, ensuring it is tightly secured. Start the engine and let it warm up to normal operating temperature, then turn it off and check the level again, topping up if necessary to the correct level.

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

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.
