The video illustrates how to change the battery in a Mercedes A-Class 180 CDI. The battery is located under the passenger seat; as the first step, push the seat all the way forward and remove the 2 screws that secure the seat slide. Once the seat is moved, remove the air vent cover by simply pulling it towards you, lift one last cover, and the battery will be fully visible.

The recommended main battery, NOT SECONDARY, by the shops is a 100AH 12V, so to remove it, just unscrew the 2 screws that secure the mounting plate.

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

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.
