How to Open the Fuel Cap on a Mercedes Benz GLK

Model: Mercedes Glk MK 1 - Years 2008-2015
Part: Fuel cap

To open the fuel cap on a Mercedes-Benz GLK, get into the vehicle and ensure the doors are unlocked via remote or internal control. Exit the vehicle and locate the fuel flap, positioned on the rear side of the bodywork. Press lightly on its surface: the pressure mechanism allows it to open without using levers or internal buttons. Once the flap is open, unscrew the tank cap by turning it counterclockwise until it is completely free. During refuelling, you can hook the cap onto the designated internal support. Once finished, screw the cap back on by turning it clockwise until it clicks into place. Finally, close the flap by pressing until it locks securely.

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.
