To replace the engine air filter in a Ford Focus, open the bonnet and locate the air filter box in the engine compartment, connected to the intake hose. Unscrew the screws or release the clips securing the cover and lift it to access the filter.

Remove the used filter and check for dirt, dust, or debris inside the box. Clean the filter seat thoroughly with a dry cloth. Insert the new filter in the same position as the old one, ensuring it is correctly aligned and seated all around.

Replace the cover of the filter box and tighten the screws or reattach the clips. Finally, check that all intake connections are properly fitted before closing the bonnet.

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.
