How to Remove Snow Socks

Model: Saab 9 3x - Years 2002-2012
Part: Snow chains

To tackle snow, there are alternatives to classic chains, particularly useful if your alloy wheels cannot accommodate chains. One example is snow socks, which adhere to the tyre without interfering with cables or other parts that could be damaged due to their thin layer.
Let's see how to install the socks. In the video, long nylon gloves are worn to facilitate installation without wetting your jacket. It is important to remember that if you only have one pair of socks, you must fit them on the driven axle wheels; for the Saab 9-3, this is the front axle.
Cover the top of the tyre with the sock, then continue covering the entire tread and wheel until the fabric touches the ground. At this point, get in the car and move forward by one metre, so that the uncovered part of the tyre remains facing upwards.
Now, finish covering the wheel with the sock and repeat the same operation for the opposite wheel.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
