To replace the front wheel of a Fiat Panda, start by parking the car on a flat and stable surface. Engage the handbrake and, if possible, place wheel chocks behind the rear wheels for added safety.

Use the jack to lift the vehicle, positioning it under the recommended lifting point, usually indicated in the owner's manual or near the wheel. Raise the car until the front wheel is off the ground.

Using a cross wrench or a ratchet spanner, loosen the wheel bolts but do not remove them completely while the wheel is still in contact with the ground. Once the car is lifted, finish unscrewing the bolts and remove them.

Take the wheel off the hub and set it aside. Take the spare wheel or replacement wheel and place it on the hub, aligning the bolt holes.

Hand-tighten the wheel bolts to secure it. Use the cross wrench or ratchet to tighten the bolts in a criss-cross pattern, ensuring they are tight. Slowly lower the vehicle with the jack until the wheel touches the ground and the weight of the vehicle is fully on the ground.

Check once more that the bolts are tight. Remove the jack and the chocks from the rear wheels.

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.
