Before you can start, open the door of your Fiat Panda. First, fully raise the window using the appropriate handle.

Next, remove this handle by simply uncliping it. At this point, unclip the upper panel of the door and then remove it. Once you have removed this panel, you will access the door lock. The lock cylinder is secured by a simple brass clip, which you will need to remove.

After completing this step, you can pull the lock out from the outside, and then unclip the plastic pin, completing the disassembly. To fit the new lock cylinder and close the door, simply reverse these steps, and the replacement will be complete.

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.
