How do you reset the wording "Active engine hood v. manual instructions" of the Mercedes C-Class?

Model: Mercedes Classe C W205 - Years 2014-2021
Part: Checks and maintenance

The wording "Active engine hood vs. Instruction manual" can be removed from the instrument panel of the Mercedes C-Class by repairing or replacing the hood sensors: these are located on the sides of the front bumper, immediately below the opening and closing pistons. It is necessary to ensure that the wiring connected to these sensors is not damaged; once the sensors or wiring have been replaced or repaired, it will be possible to see that the error message will not be displayed again. At the end of the operation, the hood must be closed.

How to change the time on a Toyota Yaris

In this video we see how to change the time on a Toyota Yaris, specifically when it comes to switching from daylight saving time to standard time and vice versa. We go to the multifunction screen and press "settings": from there we go to press the clock, simply click on daylight saving time, and the clock will change the time for us, without doing anything else. All we want to do is just adjust the time format to 12 or 24 hours, as is customary in the area where we live: for example in Anglo-Saxon countries it is common to set the time to 12 hours, while in the European Union it is normally set to 24 hours.
