How to install hubcaps for the Mercedes GL

Model: Mercedes Gl X166, MK 2 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Wheel rim

Let's look at a simple operation that can give a really nice appearance to your Mercedes GL: first, you can obtain aftermarket hubcaps at a good price, for example on eBay with the code 155245999793 for £25.57 for a kit of 4 pieces; free delivery in 7 days. Remove the old hubcap by levering it off with a flat screwdriver, wrapped in a cloth to avoid scratching the wheel: it will pop off just as shown in the video. Clean the seat from dirt, sand, or snow residues and install the new hubcap, ensuring that the Mercedes logo is in the correct position. Press evenly and firmly until you hear it click into place.

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.
