The deactivation of the airbag in the Nissan Qashqai, how does it happen?

Model: Nissan Qashqai J12 - Years 2021-2026
Part: Airbag

In the latest version of the Nissan Qashqai, the passenger airbag management system is very convenient, and to confirm this, here’s a video explaining why. While in many other cars the deactivation is done manually, mainly due to the presence of children and therefore child seats, through a button or selector, in this vehicle it is not necessary, as the seat has a sensor that reads the weight of the occupant. Below a certain threshold, the airbag is automatically deactivated by the control unit, and the corresponding warning light above the rearview mirror is activated.

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.
