The front and rear seats of the Opel Vivaro are equipped with an armrest, see video, very useful for passengers and the driver, especially if there are hours of travel to face. Whether you need to clean it or repair it, we need to remove it from its seat and here's how to do it: first, the knob must be removed, thanks to which we can rotate the armrest, so as to raise and lower it, then force is applied outwards and it is pulled out of its socket.

As we mentioned earlier, now we are able to perform a specific repair, or if you want a hygienic treatment.

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.
