How to manually close the convertible top of the Mercedes E-Class?

Model: Mercedes Classe E W212 - Years 2009-2016
Part: Convertible top

To manually close the convertible top of the Mercedes E-Class, open the trunk to detach the inner panel on the left and move the underlying screw from MAX to MIN using the hex key. Once this operation is completed, rotate the two mechanisms on the sides of the trunk as shown in the video. By lowering the two knobs at the top, you can then pull out the two handles. Closing the trunk and pulling the handles upward will allow access to the top, which can now be fully raised and repositioned.

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.
