Video tutorial

In this video, you can see how to manually lock a Renault Clio III when the remote doesn't work from the outside. In this case, you will be forced to leave the vehicle open.

This same procedure also works on Trafic, Megane, and all Renault vehicles with a locking button like the one shown in the video. It is recommended not to leave the keys in the car while performing this operation.

Open the door, and next to the hazard light button, you will find the internal locking button. Press it for a few seconds until you hear the sound of the doors locking.

Now close the doors; they are locked.

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.
