To open the fuel cap on the Mercedes A-Class, unlock the vehicle with the key. The central locking system prevents the fuel door from opening when the vehicle is locked and stationary. To refuel, unlock the vehicle and then push on the fuel door to open it. Remove the cap by turning it to the right; this will allow you to refuel.

Once you finish, to secure the cap, simply turn it to the left and then push the fuel door back in. This mechanism was designed by Mercedes to prevent fuel theft.

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.
