Video tutorial

In this video tutorial, you can see how to install a steering wheel spacer on a Fiat Panda latest model: the first step is to lift the bonnet and secure it with the appropriate prop, then disconnect the battery. Get into the driver's seat and insert a flat-head screwdriver into the holes at the back of the steering wheel to disconnect the airbag (you need to release the spring clip inside the holes), so be patient.

Once the clips are released, the entire airbag unit will come out. At this point, disconnect the wires connected (horn and airbag). After removing the airbag, there is a red and black connector for the steering wheel controls inside the steering wheel; find the tab, pull it, and the connector will come away.

Now unscrew the central nut and then pull off the steering wheel, gently sliding the cables. Next, take the female aluminium part and pass the cables through the hole above, then insert the spacer into the steering column.

Refit the central nut to 60 Nm (using a torque wrench); attach the steel part of the spacer to the corresponding aluminium part using the screws included in the kit (tighten to a torque of 8-10 Nm). Now reassemble everything in reverse order.

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.
