Part: Warning light – error code

To reset the ECU of the Mercedes E-Class W211, insert the key into the ignition; turn the key to the "on" position (the position just before starting the engine), various devices should light up; press the accelerator all the way down and hold it for at least 5 seconds; turn off the vehicle and remove the key; after removing the key, release the foot from the pedal; wait at least 2 minutes before restarting the car so that the ECU has time to reset all its parameters; start the vehicle, let it idle for a few minutes, then take it for a varied drive; do some city/highway driving so that over time, the car adapts to your driving style and adjusts performance, throttle response, etc.; this procedure clears that memory and the car starts learning again.

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.
