How to temporarily solve the problem of a faulty control unit on a Mercedes C-Class W203

Model: Mercedes Classe C W203 - Years 2000-2007
Part: Control unit

We are on board our Mercedes C-Class W203 version: we can't get it started in any way, the temperature doesn't rise and we can't move any components. But we don't lose heart. We have a solution that will temporarily solve the situation, allowing us to at least reach the nearest mechanic; we open the fuse box, and we restart the starter relay contact. Of course, this is only a temporary solution, the solution is to replace the ECU, but at least we have started and we can reach our mechanic and talk to him about the problem.

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.
