We only need a flathead screwdriver to disassemble and possibly repair the armrest of the Opel Vivaro. The time required is minimal and it is possible to do without the help of a workshop, as shown in the video above.

With the aforementioned screwdriver, leverage is applied to the plastic cover of the armrest attachment point, removing it, and then leverage is applied to the inner clip, freeing the armrest and removing it from the axis in which it is inserted. The job is perfectly successful, now we can move on to various interventions, such as reupholstering the fabric, washing, etc.

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.
