Operation of the headlight switch on the Mini R56

Model: Mini Mini R57, R55, R56 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video we see how the headlight switch of the Mini R56 works: you need to use the dial at the end of the indicator. When the arrow points to the empty circle the headlights are off; if we move it up one position we get to the parking lights (or position lights). Going up another notch we switch to the low beams. If the car is equipped with automatic headlights, then these can be positioned under the empty dot: in this way the car will do everything by itself. High beams are obtained by pushing the lever forward from the low beam or automatic position. In this case a very visible blue light will come on on the instrument panel; to turn it off just pull towards us.

How to Change the Engine Oil on a Toyota Prius

How do you change the engine oil on a Toyota Prius? It’s a simple operation if you follow the right steps. Lift the car on a column lift or jack, after removing the cover panel, use a socket wrench to unscrew the bolt from the oil sump, allowing the fluid to drain into a disposal container. Refit the bolt of the oil sump and the oil filter. Lower the car and lift the bonnet, securing it. Finally, top up with the new oil. Measure the oil level multiple times with the metal dipstick until you reach the ideal measurement.
